Extract Of Senator Hanptsn's
Speech.

One other very great mistake
that the Senator has fallen into.
and it is one very common at the
North, is, that where there is q
large number of colorctl people,
they simply take it as a fact that
there is a republican majority.
There never was q greater mistake
on the face of tho earth than that.
venture to say here, upon my
responsibility as a senator, that in
the Southern Stitcs-and l Ispcak
Of my own State more particularly
than others-there arc thousands
and tens Of thousands OF colorctl
people who arc as earnest demo.
Gratis as | am-men who will vote
ire democratic ticket. / believe
that | could 60 before the colorcd
people Of South Carolina, and
leave it to the vote of those people
alone, not one single whitc man
voting, and beat any republican in
the State. lhavc il on record that
in the election Of 1876 not less than
seventeen thousand colorcd people
voted the democratic ticket. They
were enrolled in democratic clubs !;
they cano up and voted without
any cOnstraint, with nothing in the
world but the appeal that was
made to oil the citizens o. South
Carolina. made the appeal to
them against Mr.. Chamberlain. I
said: "Do you know that while
tho man who is running tor govcr-
nor here Is asking you to vote for
him, oven In Massachusetts,, where
nc came fr0m, and where he ought
to be now, you might be as honest
and rs true and rs rich ns any man
IN Massachusetts, and you could
not voto unless you could read and
wrilcs" | said to lhcnl. snow,
you had better tell Mr.. Chamber
lain to 80 back 10 Massachusetts
and have universal suffrage as We
have It IN South Carolina. Let
him 60 there and tell the people
that l myself was The first man in
tho South who advocated giving
the right Of voting 10 the colofcd
man, and It was at a timc when
Governor Andrew Of Massacl,u-
sctts and Governor Morton Of In
diana wcrc opposed to It. That Is
-tlss rsasoM why TIN enloyssl people
were inclined 10 vote the demo
cratic ticket.

4 British Critic On the Cenfede-
rate Army.

For the Enslishmen especially,
the story of the American civil
war must always possess the most
powerful attractions. On both
sides the principles involved were
those which most deeply affect our
own national feelings; the race.
the ideas Of the combatalrts we-c
our own. The army Of Northern
Virginia in particular. from the
nature Of the defence Il had to
maintain, aud the character It
earned aud sustained, enlisted,
and will for generations continue
to enlist, the strongest English
sympathies.
Il fought with English -tcnacity,
English rccklcssacss of consc-
quences, English indifference to
odds, what was from the first a
very doubtful and soon became an
evidently losing battle. Once
only was it fairly beaten in open
Geld; over and over agaip both ou
the offensive and on the defensive,
It proved itself more, than a match
for apparently overwhelming
odds. Its composition rcsemblcd
very closely that Of Our own vol
untecr regiments. Its chiefs werc
men whose personal character and
public conduct displayed all the
virtues on which Englishmcn most
pride themselves; as tho people Of
Virginia are perhaps the most
thoroughly English ofall the many
offsets which the mother race has
planted IN every part Of the world
Gen. Lee wasns perfect a typo Of
tho ideal English soldier and gem
tlcinan as history can show.

with many Of its ccccntricitic. !,
but scarcely one Of Its worse aad
mcancr features, tie historlic
character OF the Puritan leaders.

Hampton reminded those who
closely followed their career Of tho
lilncst examples OF English Cava-
licr loyalty an,l simplicity. .~
