THE DrsCUssIoN YESTERDAY

From three to five thousand persons
were present yesterday to listen to the
debate between Messrs Etheridge and
Stokes, from the eastern portico of the
Capitol The major portion Of the aud.-
ence were whites, but there were quite a
large number Of colorcd people present
The attention and respect to the speakers
was commendable, and nothing occurred
to disturb the harmony of the occasion.

BEDFORD COUNTY. -The Radicals at
Shelbyyille, yesterday, nominated VIM
II Wisener for the State Senate from
Marshall and Bedford, and Geo II
Thompson for Representative
Wisener was in the Legislature that
passed the ordinance of separation, and
served cut his time in it Thompson was
a member Of the last Legislature and
signalized his services by voting against
negro suffrage These are no doubt very
commendable to the Radicals but we
trust the people, white and black, will
look into the record of these men before
they vote for them, either as the friends
Of public liberty or of the colored race

VIM. III. Horton, one of the proprietors
of BE cotton warehouse on Harrison street,
which was on fire Thursday night, was ar
rested yesterday, and held to await the re-
suit of an investigation into the cause Of
the conhagration.
The Herald's advices from Caracas,
Venezuela, up to the 9th, STATE that the
treaty for the settlement of American claims
was ratified by the Venezuelan Congress on
the 18th of April.
The Herald's special says Judge Kelley
arrived at Charlotte, n. c., Thursday morn
ing. He was very cordially received by
the Mayor and several ex-Confederate Off
GERS. He addressed large meeting Thurs
day night which was composed mostly of
whites and was frequently appIauded.
While in Charlotte he received invitations
to visit Concord, Salisbury, Granville and
Danville, and left for the latter place last
night.
The Herald says the Fenians are making
extensive preparations for war; that arms
and ammunition for one hundred thousand
men are being prepared that the iron
foundry of McDermott & Co., since Janu-
airy, 1866, has made a large number of
twelve and twenty four Founders, and shells
at the rate of two hundred per day three or
four hundred tons of grape and canister
shot have been manufactured daily. This
foundry has sixty-fve men constantly en-
ployed on Fenian war material. The
Fenians have several secret arsenals in this
city all stored with this material.
A st. Adams special says there are mys-
terious movements in that quarter, looking
to an attack on Canada. A Buffalo dis
patch makes a similar report.
Gen. Spear addressed large meeting of
Fenians in Boston last evening, in which
he denounced England, and promised a
raid upon Canada forthwith. This was
the burden of Spears address, as also of
others who spoke.

ways conservatives proclaiming absolute equality
among men, yet not suddenly abolishing the une-
qual institutions OF society guar anteelng absolute
freedom, yet invoking the ine1crable restrictions
OF duty; in the highest degree theoretical yet IN
the highest degree practical: awakening the inner
man to Consciousness of his destiny, and yet
adapted with exact harmony to the outward world;
at once divine and human. This system was pro-
fessed in every part Of our widely extended coun-
try, and Graded our freedom"
With such spirit pervading all our country
once more, with our population increasing thirty
three per cent. every ten years, with our national
wealth developing in even greater ratio with our
frontiers pushing back in every direction, with
farms and villages and cities rapidly covering our
vast domain, with mines of gold acd silver and
iron and coal pouring out wealth faster than ever
did the cotton fields Of the South, with forty thou
sand miles Of finished railroads and other thou
sands in rapid progress, can any one doubt our
present strength, calculate our future destiny !?
And now in conclusion, my friends, 1 will say
that since the war closed, nothing has given me
more perfect satisfaction thun to the spirit you
have all manifested since you cast aside the sol
dier's garb.
Go on, L say, and encourage honest industry
everywhere. Form and express your honest opin-
ions like free men, discourage that system Of per-
sonal abuse and detractlon which has grown too
much into habit, and ID stain on our national
character ; frown upon violence, come from what
quarter it may. have unbounded faith in your
country and its flag, ard you will win for the Army
which you fairly won for it in war; and He who
holds the fate of nations in the palm Of His hand
will see that your labors are not in vain, and that
the glory of your country for which you batted in
war, and labored In peace, shall not be tarni shed
By an insidious foe.
