Correspondence Of lie Mddietown Transcript
NEWARK, May Sd, 1870.

AS per announcement, on Saturday eve
ming, April 30th, the citizens Of Newark
and vicinity assembled en- maSse in front
,of the Deer Park Hotel, to see and hear
Senator Salisbury. At the proper hour,
IA committee consisting of A. Kerr and W.
Dean, Esqrs. with the Citizens Cornet
Band, called upon the Senator and escort
ed him to the meeting. John w Evans,
Esq chairman of former meeting, intro
duced the honorable Senator, who for an
hour calmly and passionately presented
to the people the issues of the day. His
speech was replcte with sound unanswcra-
bic argument in favor of the white man,
and his supremacy over the negro and his
equalizing allies. 1t was especially graf
flying to see the ladies giving their coun-
tenance to the white mans movement.
This is eminently proper, for of all per-
sons interested in the preservation of the
white race, the women are especially so.
What mother can but think with holy
horror of the contaminating influence of
daily association of her little innocents
with the burly, dirty negro, in the COM
mon schools of our State, and to this the
Radical course is daily tending. Sumner,
the lead-hound of the negro equalizing
pack, proclaimed in the Senate-"One
thing more-the Common Schools must
and shall be opened to all alike" At the
close of the Senator's speech, DR., S. Chan
dler, of Mill Creek, being loudly called
for, arose and made a few pertinent re-
marks. The Citizens Cornct Band enli-
vencd the evening with some of their
choice pieces A. A. Laws arranged the
hotel with lights and transparencies in a
tasteful manner. The meeting was a de-
cided success, and the white people went
to their homes well satisfied with the pros
pect of coming victory. 1t is exected that
Hon. D. w. Voorhees, will be the next
speaker of the course. More anon. S.

in the fact that the President recently paid

THE DAvENPoRTs gave one Of their mar
vellous entertainments last night to a crowd
ed house. They were securely tied by a
committee, selected by the audience, were
then closed up in their cabinet, which, being
opened, in few minutes, showed them with
through their mysterious performances in a
style which proves that the DEVILS is not the
only Satanic family whose name begins with
d. The dark seance was only more be-
wildering than the other part of the enter
tainment; and everybody went home to
dream of witches, ghosts, bedeviled music,
spooks and messy faces. This performance
is certainly one of the most interesting we
have ever seen.
