RADICAL MEETING IN MANCHEsTER-WA AR
IN THE CASP.--On Monday night the color
ed Republicans of Manchester met ut the
Town Hall. The meeting, which purport-
cd to be convention called by order OF the
county committee, was presided over by
Major Walker, ga gallant eX-Otccr of New
York engineers" Before the meeting was
fully organized, Maddox, "the tilter," who
claims Il local habitation ut Chester, and
who represented PoWhatan In the last Le-
gislature and the Black-Crook Convention,
appeared on the scence, backed by num-
ber of sable henchmen in the employ of the
man Pat. Woods tlogsed. We have no
space nor inclination to sicken our readers
with any extended report of proceedings.
Let it suffice to say that with one wave of
his magic wand Maddox dissolved to the
four winds of heaven this meeting, called in
antagonism to his chief, and in another part
of the town harrangued Il score or more OF
negroes on the greatness of the immaculate
Porter.
After they recovered from the fright oc-
casioned by this coup d etdt, some half
dozen white Republicans, and rs many GU
rious negroes or spies in the camp, were adj
dressed by Judge Morton, who handled
Porter without gloves.
The meeting subsequently endorsed the
proceedings OF one neid NJ MlQlotnlan, ana
appointed the same delegates to the con-
yention which assemblies to-day.
Jack Holmes, Jordan Smith, and other
local celebrities among the new nation,
were on hand and spoke several pieces, and
they all eYinced IN earnest disposition not
to be led by any one save the present re-
preventative of this district.
That the meeting was packed is evident,
and we advise the white Republicans, when
next they make move on the political
chess-board, to use little more secrecy, or
they will be met with the FOOLS mate as they
were in this instance.

"Not long since, my hearers-ah, I wsS

mother-ah, that they had lost their fine;
tooth comb-ah, They Esre ignorant Of

ment the loss of their fne-tooth comb-ah:
"Have you bible in your cabin, slid
