Theoretically it is everybody's doctrine that at least all white men are endowed with equal rights. Practically it is the doctrine of the ma jority that the joor man's rjghta consist in serving the rich man. Class-superiority is rejected in theory it is endorsed in practice. Vie say that we are democrats; we prove that we are aristocrats. If you will show me a town of 10,000, I . will show you a caste for a thousand. Cliques, circles and sets all attain to that extent in our large cities, that a working-man is just as much shutout from what is called society, as though he should be in London or Calcutta. lie is banished, for the de filement of labor is on hb drcsj, its Tile degradation on its hands. .Do you ask how I know ? Because, sir, I have felt its crushing power. . Our doctrine is equality; our practice tends towards caste, and that, too, as surely as the waters tend toward the ocean. Spread-eagle equality rhetoric sounds very well, but I challenge you to show me the place on the continent where tli3 laborer is socially equal to his master. I use the term master advisedly: it expresses the state cf the case.

Why, it is probably true that there is as little aristocracy here as in any place in the round world. But even hero we are sometimes obliged to listen to the sickly seatimentalism of these would-be aristocrats. I will give you a specimen : Not long ago I heard a. dawdling Augus tus get oS the following : "There awr no legitimate merchants on thb coait; they "have all spwung fwom fawmers, black smiths, cawpentaws, or some of those, low callings !'f Thb, too in a clerical estab lishment, "and the sympathy of that tet was in that direction. Why, in the name of Heaven, wa3 not our fcavior, Himself, an artizan ?. and what a monstrous folly it is to build up an aristocratic edifice on the plebian foundations which He laid. What an utter absurdity it b to adopt the radi- cat socialistic tneory oi utxrist, and still be practical apologists of caste.

Wade Hampton on the Crisis. The following is the concluding portion of tho speech of General Wado Hampton, delivered before tho "Soldiers Assoob- tion" at Walhalla, S. C, September 22d: "I have placed before yoa the record of the South and that of tho North, Let tho world decidft which is entitled to hon orwhich to shame. I have drawn the dark colors, ' but alas I in too truo ones, the condition of our country, and I now turn to the discussion what should bo our policy. ' ' In the , anomalous condition in which we are placed, it is a matter of great difficulty to mark out tho proper courso for us to pursue, but there are certain cardinal principles of which we should cevor loso sizht. Tho first of these b, that as wo accepted the terms of fered by the North, in good faith, we are bound by every dictate of honor to abide by them fully and honestly. They are none the less binding on us because the dominant and unscrupulous party at the .Noun, re 1 use to accord to us our just rights! Let us, at least, prove ourselves worthy of the rights we claim : let us set an example ci cood laith, ana we can then appeal with double effect to the jus tice and magnanimity of the North. These virtues I would fain hope, are not totally extinct among that people, and there are brave men there who are bat tling for justice, for constitutional liberty, for the equality of all tho States, and for the rights of the South. Tho only hope, not alone for the South, but for freedom itself) on thb continent lies in the success of thb nartv. We are their natural allies. and I would sacrifice much, where honor and principle are not invaded, and then I would not yield a jot or tittle, to strength en their hands in the ereat contest, which is soon to decide the fate of consti tutional Liberty and Republican Institu tions of the United States. Tho Presi dent of tho United States has lent the great influence which his high position, hb strong intellect, hb firm purpose, and hb indomitable will, give, to this new conservative party, and to hb support every Southern man should rally cordi ally. We may, perhaps, feci he has not gone to the extent of his power, or of our ex pectations, in carrying out hb policy to its legitimate ends, but we cannot forget that he has been the only bulwark to stand between our unhappy. country and certain, irretrievable and everlasting rum. But fur him the horrors we endured dur ing the war would have been far sur passed by those of peace. And though differing with him in many points, I cheer fully accord to him the highest praise for the brave and patriotic stand he has ta ken in defense of the South and of the Constitution. There b one other point on which there should be no misunder standing as to our position, no loop on which to hang a possible misconstruction as to our views, and that is the abolition of slavery. I have already intimated that the mode )y which the North secured the acquiescence of the South in the con summation of thb purpose was a breach of faith on her part. Of all the inconsistencies of which the North has been guilty and their name is legion none b greater than that by which she forced the Southern States, while rigidly excluding them from the Union, to ratify the Constitutional Amend ment abolishing slavery, which they could do legally only as States of that Union. But the deed has been done, and I, for one, do honestly declare that I never wbh to see it revoked. Nor do I believe - that th$ people of the ' South would now remand the negro to sbv ery if they had the power to do so un questioned. Under our paternal care, from a mere handful ho grew to boa mighty host. He came to us a heathen, we made him a chrbtain. Idlo, vicious, savage in hb own country; in ours he be came industrious, gentle, civilized. Let hb hbtory ai a slave be compared here after With that whioh be will make for himself as a freedman, and by the' result r .i 'fit? . t oi tnat comparison we are wining 10 oe judged. A great responsibility is lifted from our shoulders by this emancipation, and we willinrlv commit hb destiny to hb own hands, hoping be may prove himself wormy oi ine new poaiuuu iu wuuiu ue has been placed. As a slave he was faith ful to us; as a freedman let us treat him as a friend. Deal with him frankly, justly, kindly, and mv word for it ho will reoiprocate your kindness, clinging to hb old home, hbown country and hb former master. If you wish to see him content ed, industrious, useful, aid him in hb ef fort to elevate himself in the scale of civi lization, and thus fit him not only to enjoy the blessings of freedom, but to appreciate its duties. The essential points, then, in L vvu,m mm uuuiu pursue, , are, it ap pears to me, these : That all the obliga tions we have entered into should be ful filled to the letter, keeping our iaitn so clear that not a shadaw of dishonor can fall upon us; that we should sustain 3Ir.

Iladicalbm contends that a minority shall govern a majority, and that tho nar row and selfish ideas of tho few shall be accepted as laws by the many. ' Iladical bm, says a cotemporary, aims at tho de struction of all the bulwarks erected around constitutional liberty in the United States. It intends that mobs shall con trol the ballot-box, and, that democratic sentiment shall be supprcsod by violence. Iladicalbm intends the removal of official who endeavor, to perform their duty in accordance with their oath, to support tho Constitution. It demands that ministers of the gospel shall be debarred from the performance of their sacred duties, unless they qualify by perjuring themselves. It aims to substitute an oligarchy for a re. public;. and it intends that a liberal and conservative majority shall be governed by a despotio and unscrupulous minority. It b striving to have Congress usurp the power of States to prescribe the qualifica tions of voters. Radicalism b eating out the substance of the South by a swarm of "army worms" and bureau leeches. It intends that tho West shall pay tribute to the East by purchasing eastern manufac tures at more than double their value, in order that Radical mill-owners may be en riched. Iladicalbm taxes the whito la borers and mechanics uf tho North and West to support Southern niggers in idle- ness. it designs tnat a plantation mirier of Georgia, only a few removes from long-armed ape, shall havp political rights which Alexander Stephens one of the host, and wisest, and purest of men may not exercb. Iladicalbm intends that a semi-barbarous bbek man in South Car- oiina or warjama snau nave tne same po- litical power as tha wealthiest and most intelligent white man in the United States. It intends that citizens shall be taxed without representation, in plain violation e of the principle that there ouzht not to be any taxation without representation. Radicalism intends that tho Constitution shall bo altered only at such times and in such a way as the party holding radical principles may desire, and where the alter ation may be made without any regard for the rights or wishes of such citizens as do not hold radical principles. It intends that the citizens of ten States shall sub mit to such special laws as may be enact ed fpr them by a Congress which "denies tnem the representation guaranteed to4 them by the Constitution. Radicalism re spects only such portions of the Constitu tion as givo the color of legality to radical enactments. It alms to have the elvil subordinate to the military power in States where it b not strong enough to control the civil departments, It oontends that a faction, under the specious plea of "Union," may seize and hold the govern ment of a State, and exclude nine-tenths of the voters from the enjoyment of their constitutional rigbts, provided the faction bo a radical faction. Radicalism oontends that niggers, who have just crossed the verge of civilbatloo, shall be elevated to citbenship and whito men reduced to vassabge; that the position of the races shall be reversed, and the slave empower ed to rule over his master. It contends that States shall be counted as Territories . - t - , - when their votes would endanger its su- nrsma? an I m a.- -- otictt - iwte are needed to legalize its enactments. Radicalism intends that eight millions of people shall bo deprived of all the rights appertaining to citbenshipwhtle they are at the same time required to ; bear all the burdens and perform all the duties of citi zens. It . is aiming at the , disfranchise ment of. nearly one-third of the, popula tion, in order that it may control tho leg blation of the country; and thb in plain violation of tho principle on . which it claims to be based the right of each per son governed to a yoice in the govern ment, it aims at the abolishment of all limitations to the scopo and rule of fanati cbm, and the removal of all obstacles to the extension of its own interests. , No matter how old or honored the guarantee of a right may be, it must be thrust aside if it stand in the path of, radicalism. Radicalism aims at the ; consolidation of the power so wisely distributed among all tho States in the hands of asectiphal party ; which party, though 'embracing only a minority of the people, shall force its dictum upon all,' and place its will and prejudices above laws" and principles. Lastly, Radicalbm intends taking from the States tho rights expressly reserved by them when the compact 1 of Union was formed. It would strip them. of all the attributes of sovereignty .and. leave them powerless to defend themselves against any wrong which tho Ocneral Uovern ment might desire to inflict. Such are eoiuo of tho beauties of Radi- calbm. How any patriot, any lover of his race, witli such facts before him, can embrace tho radical doctrines, is to us one of tho most singular things in the rango of our knowledge. ' For the State lllglits Democrat. : The Way to Vnttn the Clir(tmai Ilollunyft The North Falcntino Baptist Church, at their regular monthly meeting, passed a res olution that they would havo religious sorvi cos during tho Holidays, aud that Dr, Hjll, their pastor, should deliver a avcouro on Christmas day on "the effocts of Christ's coming unto the world," Tho meeting waa unusually interesting, and continued thirteen days.

Strolling at large all over tho country half naked half starved sick and dying, in destitution and dist ress never staying long ia any ono place dis contented and dissatisfied they know not whero to go, or what to do. Our people are altogether disposed to treat them kindly, but bad counsel and bad advice often mislead them.' As to their exercising the right of suffrage, they are no more qualified to do it understand- in'y than Cayuses, Ncz Perces, or the Flathcads; but the Radicals perhaps, may forco it upon us. Well, if they will do it and do do it, why, we must take it, I bat's all; and so suro as tho negro votes, wo will vote him. He begins to hco who his real friends are.

If the Northern people could, by aimir- acle, oe shown the real condition of the south; could see into tne interior oi our household aud busines affairs; could see how straitened we are in our circumstan ce could learn how many families (that hitherto knew expcrimeoially, little of life eavejr it enjoymeuts, and Joxo-tcs, are brought face to face with its hardfchips and privations; could sec tue struggle that is going on in every household for the bare necessaries of life, the economy that is practised, and the patient endurance of old sod young, maie and icmaie u tney could see how eager all are lor some hon est employment,-however bumble, that will yield a bare livelihood: could see how tolerant those who owned - hundreds of slaves, who were at meir dcck ana can, now are ofthe freedmen in their newly acquired tirivilcrres, and with wnatcneer- ful ;ood hurnor they conform to the new order ot things; treating ibose lorxner slaves with the utmost kindness; if, too. they could see the perfect indifference of II l . - il . ! 1 f ail classes to pomics; ipeir ireeuom irom passion and pasttsanthtp; if, wa say, the Northern people could, by a miracle, be shown these things they would wonder at their own excitement, and exclaim szainst the mischievous demagogues who have deocived and misled .them. "While the Northern people, thui deluded, are jroin about like roaring lions, the South is as quiet as a lamb. The radical measures are all calculated for a condition of things bordering on revolution, while the South ern people are as free from every thought or purpose of revolution as the dead who sleep their last sleep in the sncient cata combs.

He carried it to Conl rad, and showed it to William Atkinson the silversmith ofthe village, who was un able to tell what it was. It was taken homo by Mr Reed, and being the size of a small smoothing iron, it was used as a weigh t against the door to keep it from1 shutting. In 1802 he carried it to market at Fay etteville, where a jeweller pronounced it to be gold, and melted it, producing bar six or eight inches long. It was gojd ft A A 9 A ,1 to tne icweuer ior s ou, a "Dig price as Mr. Iteed thought.
