Sec'y From the Charleston Courier. Gen. Sickles' Address to the Freedmen. An immense concourse of colored people, assembled in front of Major General D. E.
Sickles' quarters, on Tuesday night, to offer him the compliment of a serenade. After the band had performed several airs, in response to the loud and repeated calls of the assemblage. General Sickles presented himself. His appearance was the signal for the most enthusiastic demonstrations. He said My friends, I thank you for your visit.
Although unexpected it is none the less grat ifying. It is vour privilege, not mine, to take part as a partisan in the political action of the day. My duty is to see that every citizen of North and South Carolina has a full and fair opportunity to vote as his iudg ment and conscience may dictate. This duty I shall endeavor to perform. The colored race in this country have gained just praise for their admirable conduct during the war and pending the recent agitation of their civil and political enfranchisem*nt.
In my department I can truly bear testimony to your patient forbearance. When sorelv pro voked to retaliate by cruel acts of violence and humiliation you have borne yourselves with unfaltering confidence. The day of your deliverance wa3 not distant. Cheers. Let me enjoin upon you ail in this hour of your success, perseverance well-doing.
lou are now citizens cf the republic. Re member that the strength of the nation lies in the virtue, industry, loyalty and courage of its citizens. You must try and vindicate the hopes of your friends and repel the fore bodings of the sceptical by proving your selves worthy of the privileges to which you iiave been admitted. Appiause.J Whenever any large addition has been made to the voters of a State the same apprehensions have been expressed that are now heard with reference to yourselves. Thoie already enfranchised are easily alarmed at any considerable change in the established order of things.
So far, in this coun try, experience has shown that union, liberty and power are safe in the hands of those who earn their bread by the sweat of their brows. Applause. None love the land of their birth more fondly; none will defend it with more constancy and valor than those whose labor make up the sum of a nation's wealth. Applause So long as the destinies of this country are in the hands of those whose homes are made sacred by justice; whose liberties depend on the courage with which they are maintained the old flag may dfy all enemies, whether from without or within. Great applause.
It would be difficult, under the most favorable circ*mstances, for any race of men to engage, as you have now to do, in the most interesting political events, without lacing deeply moved by their importance and novelty. Let me advise you as a friend, and as one not without experience in public affairs, to preserve at all times the utmost moderation of language, temper and con-3uct. Avoid everything like violence, impatience or indecorum. Do not give even jour adversaries just occasion to complain the least disrespect shown to them in your discussions, private or public. And leware of those who would endeavor to excite animosities between the white and black races.
The prosperity of the South, the welfare of the country, are intimately associated with the harmony and good feeling which should exist between the people of bothjraces and the South. Whatever seriously impairs the interests of one race, must result seriously to the other. Intelligence, culture, capital, land, are not less essential than labor, and yet without labor these can have no solid and enduring foundation. You have already shown your appreciation of these advantages by the eagerness with which you have employed the opportunities lately given to you to educate yourselves. It will not be lomg before the white race in the South will see how deeply they are interested in the education, industry, thrift and progress of their colored population.
In this mutual dependence lies the security of all. Abundant time and. opportunity will be afforded, and ample notice will be givn of all the successive steps to be taken in the organization of the State Governments within my command. It will not be necessary, nor can it be otherwise than injurious to yourselves for you to neglect your regular employment and associations to attend to political affairs. I promise you that without any such sacrifice on your part, every man in the Carolinas entitled to a voice in the decision of the great question to be passed upon under my supervision, shall have a fair chance to act his part without let or hindrance from any one.
My friends I wish you all gcod night. Enthusiastic cheers. "Republican Platform.

Resolved, That in view of our present political condition, onr relations to tho National Government and the people of all sections of th country, we do this day with proud satisfaction unfurl the brilliant and glorious banner or The Republican Party, and earnestly appeal to every true and patriotic man in the State to rally to its support.
The splendid and patriotic record made by this great political organization, in standing by the general government with an inflexible resolution, in carrying forward profound measures of statesmanship to a successful issue, and the powerful aid given by it in li'ially overthrowing and prostrating the most gig.i ntic rebellion of ancient or modern times, shouV.l command the respect and challenge the admiration of every candid man. 2. Resolved. That the American Congress is eminently entitled to the profound thanks of the whole country for its persevering, persistent and heroic devotion to the great principles of human rights as enunciated in the Declaration of Independence that in the name of the patriotic people of this State we feci warranted in. cordially assenting to and accepting the reconstruction plan recently and finally adopted by that body, and to the end that peace and order may be permanently secured and every industrial pursuit resumed and encouraged, we pledge ourselves to use every fair and legitimate means to influence public sentiment to the nearest-possible approach to unanimity on this subject.
3. Resolfcd, That we rejoice that tho dogma long propagated, of the right of peaceable secession under the Constitution, has been forever overthrown by the majestic uprising of the American people, iu crushing out the late rebellion by force of arms and that the doctrine that the supremacy of the general government has been established, and that the paramount allegiance of the citizen has been acknowledged as duo to the United States. 4. Resolved, That we sincerely exult In the fact that as a nation we ate now absolutely a Nation of Freemen, and that the sun in nil his course over our wide spread country no longer shines upon the brow of a slave. Without reservation we heartily endorse the great measures of Civil Rights and Impartial Enfranchisem*nt without any property qualification, conferred without distinction of color, and that we arc ready to unite iu the early practical attainment of these inestimable privileges.
Although the mortal remains of Abraham Lincoln now rest silently beneath the soil of his adopted State, yet his voice still rings- like a clarion through the land, earnestly summoning every American citizen to the support ol the great Party of Liberty aud Emancipation. 5. Resolved, That as the most potent and efficient means by which the South can speedily re-gum her lost prosperity, we earnestly advocate the spreading of knowledge and education among all men, and that to the attainment ot this great end, we demand aud shall persistently and firmly insist upon the absolnte right of free discussion and free speech on ail subjects of public interest. 6. Resolved, That wc join in an earnest wish for the maintenance untarnished and uudimmed of the public credit and plighted faith of the nation.
7. Resolved, That- in the maintainance of the position taken and the principles this day avow ed, we earnestly invite the influence and. co-operation of men of all political persuasions, who regard and cordially support the recent action of Congress as a solution of our present political difficulties; that we deprecate partizan violenco and desire peace and good will toward all men and if in an open nnd fearless etTort, which propose to make on every suitable occasion, to persuade aud convince the people, that our highest duty and truest interest is to be subserved by maintaining the principles of the Republican Party, an earnest interest should be awakened, it will be from no other cause than a rigid adhc-rance to what we regard as a sacred right and a solemn public duty. The following resolution was offered by Mr. J.
E. O'llara, of Wayne, and adopted: Resolved That this Convention tender their sincere thanks to Jas. II. Harris for the zealous and efficient manner iu which he has labored at the North for the cause of all 103-al men iu North Carolina and for her speedy return to the Union. Mr.

Sickles has been appointed to the command of this military district. We tender to hini our hearty co operation as loyal citizens in the performance of the important duties that have been devolved upon him. Resolved, That we are gratified to learn that Gen. John C. Robinson has been assigned to the command of this State, under Gen.
Sickles. His former administration of military affairs in this State has boon such as to give us a most favorable opinion of his peculiar fitness for the position thus assigned him. Mr. Carter introduced the following, which was also adopted Resolved, That the President of this Convention appoint an Executive Committee of forty members to promote the organization and interests of the national Republican Party of North-Carolina, and that the resident members of said committee in each Congressional District be authorized to appoint 6uch committees in every county of the State.

Every pice is made and finished by machinery (itself famous for its novelty, as well as fojj it effectiveness) and is therefore properly The watch is what all mechanism should be SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Except some high grades, too costly for general watches are chiefly made by women and? boys. Such watches are -composed of several-hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together and require constant repairs to keep them in any kind of order. All persons who have "lepines" and "English Patent Leavers," are perfectly well aware of tbt troth of this statement. At the beginning of onr enterprise mora tbntt ten years ago, it our first object to make a' thoroughly good low priced watch for tho million, to take the place of these foreign Impositions the refuse of foreign factories, which were' entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worthless elsewhere.
How well we have accomplished this, may by understood from the fact that so many years of public trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES, and that no others have ever given such universal satisfaction. While this department of our businssa is continued with increased facilities for perfect work, we are at present engaged in the manufacture of watches ot the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO CHRONOMETRY, unequalled by anything- hitherto made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by any' thing made in the world. For this purpose we have the amplest facilities. We have erected a addition to our maiu building expressly for this' branch of our business, and have Ailed it with tho best workmen in our servise, Nw machines and appliances have been constructed- which perform their work with consummate delicacy aad exactness. The choicest and most approved' m' terials only are used, and we challenge compcrf' son between this grade of oar work and the fines imported chronometers.
We do not pretend to sell our watches for lbss mom by than foreign? watches, but we do assart without fear of cwfttw diction that for the same monbt our product Incomparably superior. All our watches of what ever grade, are fully warranted, and this warrant tee is good at all times against us or our agents1 In all parts of the world. CAUTION. The public are cautioned to buy only of responsible dealers. All persons selling' counterfeits will be prosecuted.
