The Strength of the two Parties.

At an early hour on Monday last, the usually
Eulet streets OF our rillngc were uliyc will, n
ousy multitude of our citizens
ihey had assembled here on that duy
70 range themselves under the Banner
vi 'heir respective parties. The number
VI persons present was vuriously estimated:
VINE some stated That many US sixteen
hundred freemen Were on the ground. oILrrs
;'sscfted that the number did not exceed thirteen
hundred '
ihe secessionists had caused their pavilion
10 DC erected on the court house square, and
tneis dining tables set out in the well shaded
S"ru oi MT Dotten, in front of the court house,
inc Secession Standard was stationed near the
ApAFhloh, ami on 1t was written, Co-opcrufion
At we we can, Secession rather than Submissions"
~ Inc cooperation party had made their
appropriation for barbecue dinner in the grove
near the Academy
Both parties had bands Of music in attendance
hnnnt y p'cioch, \. NJ, the co.opcrutionis,s
formed III PROCESSION and marched in the
direction vi the acnueny, preceded by banner
on which was printed i'll glarng capitals, $40
Submission"
The procession was long one, and as they
marched ny us, we admit TINT we for time
sick Mt heart, for we verify thought then that
cooperation party was the larger. Blu, after
the noise had subsidized and proclamation was
made tor the scccssionists to assemble, and we
observed hundreds upon hundreds of true
resistance men falling into ranks and moving
III procession around the square, the color again
revisited our checks; and when the procession
returned to the pavilion, and we saw tina, the
seats which had been prepared for the ac
Sommodatiun OF one thousand persons, We're
ebeing rapidly filed up, hope for our district
hope for our State and for the South, rcnl,imu,e,
our BOSOM, and we found ourselves iuvuluntar-
iiy shouting, Iluzza for Darlington! IIuzza for
State.rights! lluzza for Scccssion
b"tl parties claim the victory. The CO.
opcrationists say that they had more persons
Ill Their procession than the scccssorsls on the
OTHER hand, the seccssioniSts say that Il greater
number dincd nj their table Than with the coop
Grafton party.
we did not ourselves attempt to count the
men OH either side, but are satisfied, from what
we can learn, that the difference in numbers
between the TWO parties was very i.co. s!dcra-
bic.
We nrc also satisfied tha, many persons who
attended the corporation meeting, are with Sc
'css'o 'oniss in feeling and principles, and that

I civil right, and that rights shall not be abridr-
ed on account ofany religious sentiment. The
bill was discussed by others, who advanced the
same argument as made in the morning. citing
further examples where the truth was excluded
and great injustice done in consequence of the
exclusion of the testimony of witnesses on ac-
count of their religious belief whose GENERAL
character could not be inpeachcd, but others
were admitted to testify, who were not entitled
to the slightest credibiIity. Mr.. Barrett again
insisted upon his position, and cited the opin-
ion of Judge Redticld to sustain it. Mr.. Gil
bert then withdrew his motion, and moved to
amend by adding the following section: any
person who may hereafter testisy shall be re-
qulred to affirm only under the penalties and
pains Of perjury, and usage, custom or law not
withstanding. Mr., Grandey stated that this is
already the law.
This amendment was discussed by Mr.. Gil
bert in favor, by Mr.. Kellogg in opposition,
who wished to retain the form and socmnty of
an oath, and lost. Mr.. Sabin was in favor of
the bill on account of its practicabiiitv and en-
pcdlency. The vote was then taken as to its

The Senate took up for consideration the
bill relating to Saving Banks. The question
arising on the adoption of the amendment pro-
posed by Mr.. Currer, striking out the 9Th sec
tons, was favored by Mr.. Cunier on the ground
that the preceding part of the bill was not suf-
tcicntly explicit, making it the duty OF the
bank commissioners to investigate the affairs
of the Institutions and wind them up if it ap-
peared necessary. Messrs. Blake and Seymour
thought this section necessary; nothing be-
fore prescribing the course of the commissions
ers. The amendment was withdrawn, and ON
the motion of Mr.. Whittemorc, the same sec
ton was amended by substituting 'may in his
discretion for SHALL" and the bill ordered to
a sd reading.
