aaicai Misrepresentations It Speech Of General WadeJmMbton In the Democratic Stateont entlon, held at Columbia, fjooih Carolina, on the 7th lasti, Oensral Wade Hampton made the following apeecb, In which he denied a number of falsehoods sst aflott by Radical presses for political effect. General Hamp ton said I em glad that the reference made bv the Gentleman from Marios affords ma an op portuoity to aay a few word concerning myaelf. if these miaappreheneiono of Ian which I have uttered, if the perversion of facta which I have atated , reflected oaly up on me, I should not only beer the Infliction with patience, but treat It with the raaiam.i jit deeerves. When, however. I asa told that theee falsehood are a aource of injury to eur cause, and (hat they weaken the Demo cratic party mat party uoon which our life and ealvation depend I em glad to denounce them and their authore aa infamoua I have aaid more to the people of York thin to any Southern audience I told them that we believed we were right, but that we were willing to accord 10 othere what we claimed for, ouraelvee, via: Perfect aiocerily in our conviction, and unquestioned devotion to principle. I told the Northern people that we epoke wiih no double toonguea; that we were earnest ad truthful in our de sire to support the Union and Conatitutioo, and in that epirit we accepted the hand eo freely extended to ee by lee greet Democ racy of the North. -V J 1 told then we wanted the Coaetitotion restored, that we looked for no remedies in our platform that we did not propose to In corporate into Ibat inairument any thing in the ehepeof a remedy, and wsaimply eeked that this platform should declare theee Re conatrdctioa acts to be nnconstitotiunel. Indeed, I bed the honor to offer ia that body a reaolution providing for tbe arbitrament of thia queatioo by the Supreme Court, end had auch a decision been rendered, there ie not a men in the South who would not have cheerfully obeyed the law. We were ell prepared to abide by H. Does this look Ilk revolution? I declared thit are wanted peace; bet in st see of receiving peace, wa have not enly been charged with being revolutionary, but there aeem to ktve been a nereietent effort to drag us into some ontrsge or outbreak hieh would afford them any political cpi ts I st our expense. I hsvs recently eeeo what purports to be quotation from a epeech made in Charleetoo, not to ee ordinary meeting, but In acknowledgment of a compliment a eerenade given me by my old oMiera. I am told that in the New York Herald ie publithed that I aid Mho flag bad been preserved, and I booin one day unfold it and call arourd me he men who used to follow that banner on the field.' I need not tell you that this statement is, in every respect, fnlns. On the contrary, when I apokeof the flag of the Confederacy, I remarked that it waa furled forever, to be buried in tbe grave of our foal cauae. I did not make an allusion to am. other flag, which had been followed by many of the men standing around me. It waa a ' fltg that, had been worked by ihedoncendsnta Ie Revolutionen patrioia, and preeented to oa by the neble women of South Carolioa, through the haada of our theo Chief Meg atrate; a flag which had fleeted amid the emote ef many a desperate kettle field, which had been borne by tap owl hero eon, nrtd whch enshrevdeti him whs be wa car ried to tbe tomb. I told them that flag wee, testing with mi; for I koew they would be glad to hear lidioga of a banner that bed laag been femimiliar to their none, pod whoae ample folde did not contain apace enough to write the narree of all tbe en gagemenla in which it bad floated .in tbe froet of battle. Recaoae I told my old comradea that that flag of n single regiment had not been buroed ia the wreck of Columbia, these radieale of the North beeely perverted both langaage and sense for the porpoeeof prtducing political effect. Had tbej taken the paina to do ao, they would have soon that 1 had aaid that even that Aig waa furlod lorevor, to be bailed in tbe greve of the loet cauae. I should not have noticed tbeee groee misrepresentation had they not been brought to my actio to a direct manner by my friend from Marion; but since h baa aflWded me an opportunity of doing eo, t uee it not only io daoounce tbeee statements se false,:

M

but to reiterate here, as I do in every place,

that I am fighting aa earnestly aa tbe Intereet of peaee aa I did la war. Io eeyieg lhi, I recognise all of the fulteet extent, the kindnce extended to us at the North by those who bad not met us oo a hundred bat tlefields, aad who, standing around a eom mon altar which they wished once more to raiae, extended in faith and kindness the hand of friendship, J aakyou what more can Idol Everywhere, I have urged our people to come forward io this contest, end be aa true eoldiers io the cause of peace aa they were in the cauae ef wtj. Thia ie all I have done, and it ia what I shall continue to do, notwithstanding the misrepresents tiooe that may be riven to the world. Whatevr may be tbe character of the false hood circulated, 1 intend to pursue an even couree, and will not be provoked to eay one word that in acrimonioua or offensive. know rhe object which the reaieale have In view, anJ I urge the people not to giro wsy to prejudice or paasion. Let them in patience endure tbe misfortunes they can not control, avoid all conflict riih aegroea. give oo political capital to our enemies, trust to the Democratic parly, fight tbia great atruggie with peaceful ajencieo alone, and there is every reason to believe that weehall wit neae tbe reetoratioa ef tbe Government and the eepremacy of the Constitution of tbe United States.

Under tbe provisions of tbe embexxlement lew, it ie made the doty 0: the Treasurer of State to receive all money paid to bim ae auch, dspoait tbe aame In the aafee or vaulta in hie office and pay it out jeot ia the order u ie reeerved. To do otbsr wise, or to loan the mone, is made an of fence the punishment for which i provided by (hat act. If the performance of theae dutle constitute General Nathan Kimball a flnan cler, whoae position, experience, end wis dom qualify bim to eettle the problem in finance wMch hse even bothered the beade of the ableel men in the country end who have given (hose aubjecta the study of a lite nme, we suppose we must accept the dec larations of the Treaaprer of tbe Stete aa a finality. Bot cur faith in bio financial abil ity will oot permit ua to go that far. A few deye ago we copied from tbe Audi tor of Stete'e report aome figures that coa treated the management ot the State flnan eee uader Democratic end Republicaa ad ministrations. Those figures were ae fol lowe: Total taxea levied for I860 f 3.768.426 87 Total taxee levied for 186 . lÜltilSe 8i Io 180 the Berns noa were in powerin 1885. the radical. Mark the contract. The difference io the two yeere is enly $9, 398,058 85 mere than enough to have can celsc the entire State indebtedness outatand in 1865. Io a apeecb et Evenevilie, flnan cier Kimball attempted to evade the crush ing force of the contrast we made In the Stete rxpeodituree uader Republican aad Democratic administrations, by elating that wa were 'attempting to persuade the people that tbe whole amount of taxee levied are paid sola the Stete Treaeory.' We did not attempt to make any aueh Impression. We imply gave the figuree for each year ae we found them in the Auditor'c report cad Ihey both include Ibeeatire taxation of the State for the different periode. Fionneier Kim bell doea not deny the figuree we gave, but eaya the whole of the thirteen millione levied in 1885 did not go into the Treasury, neith er did tbe whole of the three millione levied in 1880 go ioto the Slate Treaeory. Bvl Mr. Kimball innocently conoedee that in 1888, of the thirteen million levied $3,127, 68 74 did find their way ioto the State Treeeury. 80 then according to the Treae urer of Stete'e own ehowing there wae near IV so much paid in the State Treeeury In 1665 as the whole amount levied in 1860 br State, aouotp, and local purpoeee. And yet we are told that the flnaoece of tbe State have been economically managed under the Republican adminietratioo of the Stale Oov ernment! General Kimball in hte epeech trie to plain bow it waa that them war tn mil ,, mor, vi llXfi ,mW, ejsjg lht0 tIlCf0

waa in I8G14 but it ia a fruitless task. There

stand ih naked fact that under a Republlcao adawnietratien of State affairs the taxes levied were oearly fourfold more than when the State government was in Democratic handa. There wee not a difference io the population of those yeere, for the Inereeeo wee email, that would account for thia vast increase in taxation. In 1865 tbe Republican psrty had control of the täte goverft. ment, hence this great addition to tbe burdene of the peopio ie justly chargtble to the party thet waa in power. The Financier Kimball inquiree in his Evenevilie epeech if tbe Sentinel ie enswered if we know what bse become of those tsxesl We know that the tsxet were rsised and 1 xpended but that ie no evidence thet the Republicea party adminiatered the Stete government economically. We judge tho tree by ite fruit. Tbe people know that under radical rule the eoet of administering both the NatJoael and State Governmenta has largely increased. Under Democratic rill.. 1. mim ik. L..

Instead of light publio burdens that the people ecarcely fell ae waa the esse when the Demoerscy were in power. our taxation ie equal to. if not greater, than the taxrldden governments of tbe Old World!
