RADICAL Mass AEETING.-TEE A1BTosIAL
ASHLEY SPEAEs.-The announcement that Hon.
J. II. Ashley, a Radical member Of Congress
from Ohio, and known to the country as 4 sort
Of Grand Tycoon among the Presidents inl-
peachers, filed the Club House last evening
with colored audience TO its utmost capacity.
On the stand were General Scott, General Cur
ney, Colonel Willard, Maj \ J. 9. Dennis, Par
son French, and some Of the nominees on the
State Republican ticket. The chairman ana
secretaries were colored men.
From Inc style of Nj. Ashley, his epithets
and adjec,ives. lis thoroughly sand-papered
and thread-bare arguments, lis anecdotes and
invective. it was evident that he intended his
speech TO be appreciated only by his audience,
not by the public. 1t vas further apparent,
from the manner Of the speaker, that he was
disappointed in not seeing more than dozen
or two white men sprinkled in the audience,
since it compelled the frequent exertion OF
making himself known as the real, genuine
Ashley, member of Congress, and author OF
everything that has glori6ed the colored man
since he became an "idea of the Republican
party" He also took occasion to state that
his grandfather was born in eight of Charles
ton, and that he himself was Virginian,
which necessarily made him virtuous and
proud.
The two points of MIR. Ashley's speech worth
going upon the record, are 1. 'I expect to
see the day when a colored man will be elected
to Congress; and when it is done, intend to
vote for the first black man there as the Speak
or of the House." Immense applause and SEN
sation.) 2. 1.-The convention at Baltimore,
after the nomination Of Mr. Lincoln, selected
Southern man for it's Vice-President That
was another blunder, which at such an hour
was o crime. There was no excuse for it.
There never has been and never can be an
apology for it. They deposed man tried
and true, and put in his place man whose
utterances and whose life had been Infamous.
MIR. Lincoln died By the hands Of an assassin.
Whatever the future may develope concerning
the knowledge of the man who occupies the
Presidential chair regarding the event, be-
fore or after the fact, you know, and know,
