''The Coming Man"


''The Coming Man.
The negro ia the South may surel,
be considered in one sence the com
ing man. He is undoubtedly comm.
as fast as the Democrats of that sec
ton can get him TO- They are pull
ing him on their platforms, and call
ing him most prominently into tht
foreground at every meeting.
A Richmond paper, of the ole
school, in noticing a meeting in tha
place a few days ago, says: 'sSide b,
side with one of our most talented
Senators, we noticed a negro of the
deepest dye, Social equality ruled
the hour. Among the audience We
recognized many of our most respec
table colored men, and many Of oul
leading citizens.
One ofthespeakers at the meeting.
q white man, on Mr.. Sturdevant, a
Democrat of the strictest, said:
'1n regard to the term. negro,
about which so much delicacy has
been exhibited, l hold to bea proper
term, and | use it in a ageneric SENSE,
the same as would call an Irishman
an 1risnn.aln, OF a Dutchman Dutch
man. I respect in tue illSs.hnest de
gree an old Virginian negro" 49,
A Doctor Burroughs, d. d. said.
Il don't want to see all the colored
men combine on one side. I desire
to see them mired up and Mteatrlned
acttA tie arhite people,"
So much for Richmond.
In Mobile, on Friday night last,
large meeting ofwhites and blacks
was held, intended to be exclusively
in the conservative interest. It
was addressed by a number of lead
ing white men; but the favorite
speakers are said to have been ne
groes.
The Mobile Register, a highly
conservative journal, edited by John
Forsyth, has a long notice of the
meeting, which concludes as fol-
lows:
Mr.. John Trenier (Creole) then
addressed the meeting in short
and sensible speech, which was well
and favoratly received by all the re-
portion Of the audience.
Major St. Paul, being called for,
addressed the meeting in fervent
and eloquent terms. We regret to
be unable to make an accurate report
Of his remarks, which were received
with much applause.
Loud cries were made for 'sFor
syth," but that gentleman not APP
pearing, Mayor Withers introduced
to the assembly Mr.. t. q. Barnard,
a well known Creole citizen, who
made what we are sure none of the
other speakers will blame us for pro
nouncing decidedly the most forci-
BILE and telling speech ofthe evening.
Mr.. Barnard showed how neces
sary it was that the two races Should
live in harmony, and administered
some rebukes Of the sharpest and
severest sort to the pestilent Radical
agitators, who are endeavorino TO
stir up strife between them. We
hope to be able to furnish fufH re
port of his remarks, this evening or
tomorrow morning. '1r,I
1t is proper to say that we have
used the word ''Creole" above. in
the Mobile sense ofthe term. Messrs.
Barnard and Trenier are both citi
zens of mixed blood, who have al
ways been highly esteemed and re-
spected by the whole community
Although colored, they are freemen
md citizens by birth, and have al
ways enjoyed the respect and conf
dence Of both races. aa
h1r. Barnard was repeatedly inter.
rupted by enthusiastic applause, and
sat down amid loud and long-con-
tinued cheers.
Calls were again made for ssWin-
ston," Forsyth" and other gentle
men who were not present as it ap
peared, but, pending these, Gen.
Withers again arose and moved an
which was declared bv
the Chairman to be carried, although
there was evidently much reluctance
among the crowd to leave the ground
without further speaking. The truth
is, they are just beginning to be
heartily enthused.
Nevertheless, at half-past nine
o'clock, the monster meeting quietly
lispersed-white and black seeking
heir respective homes in high good
lumor, and with universal satisfac-
ion at the result-unless, indeed, |
some ofthe agitators may have been
orowling around, in which case. we
presume, they received little com
iort.
There was not the slightest dis
that we are aware of. dur

meeting went on-and not a gun. orl
