ship. there assembled large number oil
people from all parts of the county. There
being no business of importance before the
committee except the raising of funds for
the better prosecution of the campaign,
this was satisfactorily arranged, and the
committee adjourned at an early hour to
hear speeches from Messrs. Wake, Clop-
ton, and Ambers after which all went for
the barbecue given by gentlemen in the
neighborhood. It would be superfuous
to say that all enjoyed themselves, as there
were lots of good things prepared in fine
style, besides the close proximity of Pinch

attalnabie, an advantage of which many
aYalled themselves; consequently all were
IN good spirits, aud seemed very well salts

good dinner, that Radicalism and carpet
baSgery will receive its death-blow, at least
