Mass MEETING AT MoRGANToN-Two
THOUSAND PEOPLE PREsENT!-GREAT En-
THUs1AsM!-We attended the mass meeting
luo
thousand people or more were present.
The vast ssemblage was addressed by Hon.
Thos S. AsEe, Conservative candidate for
Governor, FL. X. Nash, Esq, Hon. Josiah
Turner and Gov. Vance, II the order 10
which their names occur. The speeches
occupied about six hours and were listened
to with profound attention, and frequent
outbursts of applause. The new Constitu
ton was discussed and the obnoxious doc
ument dissected and laid bare to the peo-
pie, with telling effect. Many who had
been in favor Of voting for the adoption OF
the Constitution, formerly, and supporting
the Radical candidates, were heard to de-
clare that they would now vote against the
Infamous documen and for tho Conserva-
tive candidates.
We cap attempt no report of the able
speeches made by all four of the gentle
even faint justice in the effort. But let the
people all go and hear them, at every op-
portunity offered in the different counties

HARD ON LoGAN.-The Asheville News
says that Gen. Geo. W. Logan, the Radi-
cal candidate for Superior Court Judge in
the Ninth District, n speaking few days
ago of what Daniel Webster said about the
''infernal abolitionists, spoke of that great
man substantially as follows: "Who is this
Daniel Webster Why, a fellow that lived
up there in Massachusetts, and spent his time
in making School books and Dictionaries
for children"
If Logan knows no more about law than
he does about the history of the great men
of our country he will be as likely to charge
Jury from one of Webster's Primers as
from the laws of the State.
