SUMTER, October, 10.-A large mass meet,
ing of the Republican party Was held here
last night. About 500 people were present.
Radical speeches were made by b. +. Whit
temorc, Of Darlington Gilbert Pillsbury. T..
w. M. Mackcy, G. g. Bowen, II. G. Dci.argc,
of Charleston; j. j. Wright, the negro law,
yer, of Beaufort; Colonel +. j. Moses, Jr.,
Of Sumter, and others Another immc se
meeting was held this morning, at which
about 1000 persons were present. Radical
speeches were again delivered by Mackcy.
Whittcmorc, Bowen, l'ilsbury, DcI,arge,
Wright and Moses. Epping, of Charleston,
and Fleming, of Sumter, Conservatives, were
especially denounced as trying to create di-
vision in the party. 1t is rumorcd here that
Epping will be expelled from the party.
AS tho " New York Timcs," itself Re-
publican Journal is now forced to confess,
"wc do not think that tho great body of the
people or Of the Republican party arc satisfied
with the manner IN which the (Rcconsiruc-
tion) has been treated. They arc not salts
fed that we have tho right to force universal
negro suffrage upon the people Of the South
crn States at the point of the bayonet, and
| to exclude those States from the Union until
they accept it; nor that it would be good pol.
icy to exercise the right if VIC had it. Still
less are they satisfied that it is either just, or
cxpcdicmt. while thus admitting the negroes
| to the ballot box without qualifications of any
kind, to exclude the great body of the whites
thus handing over the Government of these
States to tho absolute control of the negroes
| within them. The practical result Of such
policy shocks the public sense of justice. Ev.
cry man, no matter how strong his party feel
ing may he, shrinks from policy SO entirely
at war with fair dealing"
