The Eadses--GOd Bless Them !--
Out in Force.
The grand rally OF the Democracy an
nounced to come off last night, WAS
most brilliant, cheering and gratifying
success. The Ward clubs met according
to programme at 8 O'Clock, and proceed
ed en- nlosss to the Stillman block, but
on account of It being the regular meet
ing night of the Central club, snd the
presence eff q very large number Of L.
dies. brought out to hear the promised
speeches of the distinguished orators
who were promised to address the assem-
blage, the ceremony of introduction was
postponed until a more fitting opportu-
nifty.
The crowd began to assemble at eight
O'Clock, and by half-past eight, the hall
was crowded, fully 600 persons being
present, a third OF whom were ladies, the
flower Of tie land.
/ General Pike called the meeting to
order, and in few brief words introduced
! Judge Adams to the audience, who re-
ceived him with great enthusiasm.
Judge Adams spoke at some length,
J and argued the questions now before the
/ neople ia a cslm and dispassioned light,
/ which vas highly pleasing to the lady
/ portion Of the audience, who are unused
+ to the fiery rantiDg of a regular stump
/ speaker. He made some telling and
/ happy hits, one of which was a good
/ double pun, of which we are constrained
/ to believe be was unwilling. In speak
1 ing Of the coming hegira Of the carpet
( hsggers, who will be forced to leave
/ Tennessee after the coming election, he
said: "The Avalanche of public opinion
/ is down on them, and for them there is
no APPEAL
At the close of Judge Adams remarks,
I loud and long continued calls were mede
/ for the Hon. W. II Avery, who appeared
and was introduced to the meeting. He
made one of the most eloquent and
affecting speeches that it has been our
good fortune to listen to in q long time.
He spoke of his return from the National
Convention-the first that has been held
in eight long years, ia which every
State from Maine to California was rep
resented. He said he had brought with
him news that would cheer the heart Of
the oppressed, dOwn-trOdden people Of
his native State. He spoke confidently
of success crowniDg our efforts in the
coming struggle-for the iron nerves, the
stslwart arms of the old heroes and
champions of Democracy have been
haired for the work, and they are deter !
mined to lead us out Of the wilderness !
The Gun of our redemption has !
risen in the East-tbe star of our |
hope is shining in the West. He de- |
pictei in glowing words the scenes in the |
great Convention, as Wade Hampton |
and Forrest voted Tor Biair-how BE |
Clernand came to Forrest and embraced |
him. He rapidly drew 3 line showing |
the difference between the present strug |
gle sud the old political campaigning, |
then took up aud displayed side by side, |
and discussed SeTedtjDs the first four ar !
ticles Of the Republican or Radical plat |
form and the Democratic, in manner !
that elected round after round of ap-
plaUse.
At the conclusion of bis remarks, Col. |
C. S. Cameron, of Cross county, Ark,
who mas also lately returned from the |
Convention, was loudly called for, aud |
came forward and made q brilliant |
speech.
THE question: he said, "wss not
political one; but it was the question Of
liberty against despotism; the question
whether the white man and the white |
woman, or the negro man and negro wo
man should rule" He depicted, IL !
scorching terms, the base prostitution Of
the Congress Of the United States OF
itself to everything vile and ignobIe; he
told bow this Congress had tramp'ed and
was sill tTamping under their Plebian
hoofs ten sovereign States OF the UuiOn
how they had effected what Davis and
Lee had fsiled to dO-disrupt the Govern
ment and destroy the Constitution. He
alluded TO Virginia, the Ni0be of States,
trampled under foot by q military dsspOt
izm, which gave way, in turn, to g gov
srument OF thieves, EeOuadrels and adj
venturerE, and a rabble Of proletsriRu |
negroes led on by the wre,ched HuDn-
cult. He spoke Of the Soldiers
and Sailors Convention, and denounced |
IS false the stories set sfi)at that they
had disappToyed the nomination. He
told Of the desperation Of the Radical
party-that it did not mean to be de
feated, or rather that it would not allow
the votes to be counted il it were de-
feated. Bat there was q move he said
Ill af-fu
nothing secret, but s. military orgauiz2-
ton that in two months would number
500. QUO men, and il any sttempt were
made on the freedom Of the ballot, or to
force the votes of the South upon the |
Northern people, they would swallow % |
the Grand Army Of the Republic and lie
kindred hordes. The people of the /
North were tired Of paying bundled (
millions yearly for the monslrosity !
called the Freedmen's Bureau.
He spoke at length upon the hypocrisy |
and scouudrelism OF the scslawags in our |
midst; how they deluded the Negro, and !
the kind OF love they bore him. To par
aphrase the lines of Moore, the song they |
sang WIS
a Come, r,st in this bosom, my African, dear, |
Though the herd have fOIsaken thee, Thy home |
shall be here.
know NOT, / ask not, how me- h you can toe, !
But know ell l want, know you can voter /
In conclusion, 1.-the game" said be |
sis heads, and they had better not lose
a trick" Thanking the audience for |
their attention, he sat down amid tre-
mendoUs cheers.
Loud calls were made for other speak !
ers, but as it was getting late, most of
the crowd concluded to adjourn, and we
left among the balance.
