The speaking at cInyton.

MEssRs. EDITORS Quite gathering
took place on Saturday at Clayton, In John-
ston county, to hear the Republican speak
ers, according to appointment. co.'s. DC,
weesc and Mcdonald, the Congressional and
Electoral candidates, with L. p. Obs, Esq
were expected. and at ~ o'clock the latter
took the stand, believing tlT,t as the others
had not arrived he must fill their places.
= DR. Leach had also come with view OF
replying, and some thirty or forty CohserVa-
tives awaited the discussion.
Surprising he was entitled to his luil tlme'
l.. p. Odds, Esq, began with the deliberatlon
due the two hours and half allowed by the
train. and was not aware that Col. Mcl)on-
aid had meantime arrived and was ready to
occupy his portion of the day, till his hour
WAS called. and the Colonel invited to sue
coed. Col Deweese was unable to get there
in time.
will not undertake to give you an idea
of the impression made from the start Ivy orr
Raleigh friend, but the frequent responses
from the hearers, and the great cainestncss
of attention satisfied us that good work
was going on at Clayton. And so impressed
was one gentleman, Conservative, that ne
leaned over towards the speaker and OBJ
served, Your speech was IL great success,
and shall remain neutral" And still better,
DR.. Leach himself came to him and asked
! him aside to thank him for his heightened
and fair and candid way of talking, and said
that he wished the old mode of conducting
campaigns could be restored.
At o'clock Col Mcdonald began, and
for nearly an hour and IL half Unclaimed his
audience OF both parties, with certainly one
of the best speeches of the campaign. Like
a man of work, walking twelve miles to do
it, lest he should be disappointed, and disap-
| point Others, he seemed good for the day In
| his force of voice and manner.
His illusions to the views Of the great men
of the State Mt different times; the changes
| going on daily for Republicanism ailuding
| with marked compliment and distinction, to
! the Hon. s. F. Phillips, whenever that most
| able and worthy gentleman was named, had
| a powerful effect. If Col. Mcdonald had not
done so much for the State and country be-
fore, and ready to continue doing, the Clay
ton speech would suffice to mark him as
| brave, noble, working man of tho party, and
| for the party. Honor to him, and the like
workers IN the vineyard.
| Both the State and the nation are safe on
the Sd of November next, and as these two
| speeches said, the profound peace soon to
succeed the election of Grant and ColfaX,
will ensure unthought of prosperity. To-.
Col Deweesc will run even with, if not be-
yond, the national ticket.

Prospect in the First District.
PLyMourH. IN. 81. Oct. 2Oth. 1SGy


From all parts of the State we hear the
most glowing accounts of the prospects OF
our success in November, bnt in no Con-
gresSional District are the indications more
certain. not only of victory, but of
great gain over our vote last spring, than
in the fist.
Messrs. C. l.. Cobb and H. E. Stilley are
meeting with greater success wherever they
speak, than even the most sanguine could
expect.
On Friday the 18Th, they were advertised
to address the citizens of Washington coun-
ty at this place. also the Democratic candi-
date for Congress and Eiector Owing to
prior engagements, Judge Barnes was unable
TO he present, and as his place was not sup
Piled, Mr.. Stilley left Capt. Jarvis. (he Dem
ocratic candidate for Elector,) to the tender
mercies of Mr.. Cobb.
1t is not my purpose to enter into the de-
tails of the discussion, but suffice 1t to say
that the opening speech of MIR. Cobb was
mastery effort, 4 complete yindication of Re-
publican principles-if they need any-as
well as Il terrific onslaught upon the bogus
Democracy.
Capt. Jarvis followed in very able at
tempt to defend his party, but fell far short
of his intentions.
The reioinder of Mr.. Cobb demoralized
him Jarvis completely, who wisely conclu-
ded to cut his reply short.
On Saturday they both addressed the citi-
Zens of Tyrreli county at Columbia, Capt
Jarvis opening the debate. Although jar
Wis was at homeland outtlid himself and had
an audience almost entirely Democratic, yet
Mr.. Cobb was listened to with more attention
and was as frequently applauded. His APP
peal to the old line Wings was most elo-
qucnt, and had decided effect.
Any unparalleled person cannot fail to
perceive that Capt. Jarvis feels i'll at ease,
and although he is large and Cobb is small,
he (Jarvis) finds to his sorrow that size can
MOI count in this contest.

Public Speaking in Mcdowell.

Last Friday was day which will long be
remembered by the, liberty loving people OF
Mcdowell, and, in all probability, will not
soon be forgotten by the rebels. The peo-s
pie of this county were notified that Hon.
Joseph G. Abbott would address the citizens
in Marion, on Friday, the 18th. The day
came, and by 10 O'Clock the streets were alive
with anxious citizens anxious to hear the
General speak. General Abbott was una
voidably delayed, and did not reach Marion
until o'clock. The people would have re-
NAMED there until dark waiting for his ar
rival. At length he arrived, but it was soon
ascertained that the Court House would not
hold the fourth part OF the large assembly,
and Gen. A. was Obliged to speak IN. the
open air. He made one of his usual telling
speeches in favor of Grant and Coltax. He
fully acquitted the Republican party OF the
false charge of having been instrumental IN
bringing about our present difficulties, nigh
taxation, &c, and proved to the satisfaction
of all that the rebel democracy are wholly
responsible for every trouble incident to the
late war. He fully and fercibly exposed the
Rebel Democratic platform, and used up
Frank Blair, SO that his friends are ashamed
to own him. He brought cheering news
from some of the Northern elections. Nc
Dowel will roll up large majority tor Grant
and peace. SPECIAIoh. %

Grand Republican Mass Meeting in Pitt

Grand Republican Mass Meeting in Pitt
County.
A grand demonstration of enthusiasm for
the Republican party took place in Green
vile on the 18th Notwithstanding the I'M
promising look of the weather, crowds began
to pour into town from all parts of the ccun-
ty at an carly honr. At about 10 O'Clock
the GreenvlIe Union League turned out
400 men, and headed by a band. paraded
the town, and went down to receive Generals
Latin and Brogden, who were expected on
the boat. They did not come and the
meeting was called to order by Col. d. G.
Rich. who proposed Col G. w. Smith as
President, and Messrs Sam Perry and Aus
tin Flood as Vice-Presidents. The orator
of the day was then introduced in the person
of J. N. Langston, Esq, of Ohio, who, for
upwards of two hours kept the attention of
his audience entranced by one of the most
mastery, eloquent, lucid and convincing ar
guments possible He thoroughly laid bare
the rottenness of the Democratic platform,
and showed conclusively the benefits confer
red, not only on colored but white men, by
the Republican party. Mr.. Langston is
natural orator, besides being thorough
scbolnr-his logical sequences prove him the
accomplished jurist, and both Republicans
and Democrats acknowledge his speech to
have been the best heard in Greenville for
many day.
Capt. Hort followed in few brief re-
marks and concluded by proposing cheers
for Grant and Coltax, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana. Nebraska and for J. M. Langston,
the speaker of the day. Three times three
were given with will. Look out for
rousing Union majority in Pitt county.

The Tuscaloosa (Ah,) Banner declares
that although that paper is Democratic, and
its editors have been Democrats all their
lives, they cannot and will not swallow the
Democracy now attempted to he fastened
upon the people by the same leaders who, in
1860, brought on the war and the ruin of the
South. The Banner says, it opposed those
leaders then and opposes then now, and be-
lieves that the aim of the Seymour and Blair
party to-day is the same as was that of the
breckenridge and Lane party in 1860. Then,
that paper supported Douglas and Johnson,
and now it supports Grant and Colfax.
FREEMAsoKRY IN THE EAsT.-Robert
Morris delivered a very instructive lecture
at the Cooper Institute Friday night, on the
subject of Frecmasonry in the Holy Land.
He said that at Smyrna he found eight Ma
sonic Lodges, which included among their
members the foreign consuls of most of the
nations not Roman Catholic, and nearly all
the Turkish dignitaries. At Ephesus he at
tended Masonic picnic. At Beyrout he
found the only Lodge III Palestine Among
its members is the Pasha of all the territory
from Asia Minor to Egypt. At Damascus
he found sixteen Masons, among them the
renowned Add ell Kadir, formerly Sultan OF
the Arab race of North Africa. Throughout
Syria and Palestine there is an intense pre-
judce among the lower classes against Free
masonry, but the high officers of the Turk
lsh Government, and the few educated and
intelligent men who are to be found there,
are well disposed toward the order.
