r. P. Lowe, Republican candidate for
Governor, and GKoaGE GILLAsPr, Demo-
cratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
addressed the people Of this city, on the is-
sues Of the pending election, last Saturday.
Judge Lowe led off in speech Of two hours
length, in which he reviewed IN able man.
ner, the policy and purposes Of the Repub-
lican party, and showed wherein they differ
cd from the principles advocated by the
Democratic party. The Judge is not, what
might be called pleasant speaker, but is =
sound logical reasoner. He presents his
arguments in forcible and lucid manner,
leaving no room for inference or doubt, IS
to what his principles are. His speech was
listened to attentively throughout, and the
Republicans present, were highly delighted
with the manner in which he expounded the
principles Of the Republican party, and the
way he dissected the platform and preten-
sions Of the Democratic party. From the
manner in which the organs of this city
speak of Judge LOVES speech, we are in
clined to the belief, that they didn't like it
very well. They appear to be wofully ex-
ercised about the disappointment Of the
Republicans, but We can assure them, that
their solicitude on that score, is entirely I'M
called for, and that instead of commiserating
the Republicans upon their disappointment,
they had better turn their attention to the
feeble, milk and-water effort of their can
didate for Lieutenant Governor.
Col. GlLLAsPY followed Judge LOWE, in
speech of about an hours duration. He
is magnificent looking man, but no orator,
nor yet a logician. He commenced by say.
ing that he was candidate for Lieutenan,
Governor-stated the duties that would
devolve upon him in case Of election-thai
he would be presiding officer of the Board
of Education. He then reverted to his
qualifications for that position said he was
plain farmer-neyer had been to college
received his education in a log school-house
(immense applause by the unterri6ed) but
| that notwithstanding, be was illiterate, he
said that he believed he would make good
law maker, and that if elected, would use
every effort to 'sprocure and put in opera
ton a good system Of schools" His very
words. He then referred to his competitor
said he did not know him-had heard that
he had been in some way connected with a
female school somewhere in Ohio-that the
Republicans claimed that this fact peculiarly
fitted him for Lieutenant Governor, (great
applause but that the Democrats had better
keep Mr.. FAvILLE at teaching. His remarks
in relation to his competitor, We're uttered
in sneerins manner, and were anything
but gentlemanly and courteous. He then
took up the subject Of banking-wriggled
and lodged all around the question-tried
to prove that Mr.. SAMUELs was sound on a
judicious banking law-though he didn't
want banks-didn't realize the necessity Of
them-tred to prove that the Democratic
party had been in favor of banks in this
State, and also, that they had been opposed
to them-that they were now in favor of n
judicious banking law, and also, that they
were opposed to banks. He also tried to
prove that it was not because the Demo-
cratic party was opposed to banks on prin-
ciple, that they were interdicted by the old
Constitution, but because the people were
opposed to tho creation Of banks in this
State, and he reverted to the defeat Of the
first Constitution submitted to the people,
which contained a clause allowing banking,
but admitted that the defeat was partially
owing to the boundary Question. He did not
say however, that if the Constitution which
was adopted, had contained banking

Oh, no.
lie then passed on to the New Constitu-
ton, and the Niger question-here he
showed himself at home-dilated with evil
dent gusto upon amalgamation and negro
equality, to the admiration of the untcrri
fed, then and there present. Here he said
no would do something that usually created
q laugh-that it was not out of place in
him, for he was farmer, and upon common
cling hard days work, he always took of
his coat-and he did tremendous sensation. J
Then came the heavy blows at Black Re-
publicanism-they fell thick and fast, and
what little was left Of that "abominable
organization" was then and there complete
ly used up and done for. Our Democratic
friends will bear us out in this statement.
He read copious extracts from the speeches
Of Judge HALL, delivered in the Constitu-
tional Convention, in relation to the charge
/ that tho New Constitution was in conaic,
with the Constitution Of the United States,
but he did not venture to read any of the
arguments of Judge HALL, urged before tht
people, in behalf of the adoption Of the
Constitution. No, not a line. In the Con.
vcntion Judge HALL contended that one
clause Of the Constitution was in conflict
with the Constitution of the United States
but afterwards, altered his mind, and be.
came convinced that no such conflict could
i arise, and so stated. er r-f as
