mass m Getting, as it is called here. The
railroads are controlled by the "black and
tanners" and to get up crowd, fares
have been reduced to a nominal figure
excursion tickets cent mile. So there
is jam. One thing, too, the Southern
people can rest assured of, the undying
hatred of the Abolition, fanatical Radi-
cal party North is to express itself in
every conceivable way upon their heads,
and don't let any political sophistry and
financial necessity on social claims de-
lude them into any other opinion. Could
the readers Of the LEDGER stand with me
to-day and see the moving columns OF
fanatics, as they file for an hour past
the Continental, the windows of which
hotel (also the Girard, opposite) are alive
with women, whose smiles are showered
upon the fanatics, they could see the
spirit of the party that has for its standard
the " skull and cross. bones " of negro su-
premacy. One transparency represented
wretched looking men, with the words,
"We cant forget Andersonville." This
attracted cheers from she men and waving
of handkerchefs from the other sex. q

threatening looks Of its defenders de-

were delegations from New York, New
Jersey and Delaware in the line, and Q

The turnout was an immense onel A

Radical hates the most bitterly, the ne

negro in the procession. If one OF your
colored fellow-citizens, whom they pre-
tend to love so much in the South, while
working for his vote, was to attempt to
take part in the procession, they would
mob him. There was a gang of twenty
hatless, half starved negroes passing
through Philadelphis to-day, en- route for
the South, having come North, supposing
that this was where their friends lived I;
they begged little cheese and crackers
here and there, and while being .interro-
gated by one Of knot Of Radicals who

little peep"-they will soon come home,
bringing their tails behind them, Tor they
must know that the Southern man
is their only friend. The grand mass
meeting Of to-day has convinced me
more firmly Of the positive character OF
