MARION, 8. G., October 8, 1872.
We had to-day our second instalment OF
public speaking by the Regular Radicals. The
next we are to receive on the 18th instant.
We now express the hope that there will be
less OF It on that occasion than on this, for We
/, are becoming tired.
Observation-Disclosures the train brought 81. E.
Hayne, candidate for secretary of State on the
Moses ticket, and D. D. Mccall, OF Marlboro,
the newly hedged Radical and candidate for
solicitor TO. the Fourth Judicial Circuit. L.
Csss Carpenter, of the Columbia Union, and
]. A. Dunbar, OF the Regulars, and F. A. saw
yer. OF the Boilers, arrived In o on the
three. o'clock A. II. train this morning.
Messrs. Carpenter and Dunbar must have been
accorded the unusual honor OF q pubic Eecep-
ton, for as early as half past four O'Clock our
community was awakened by The Inevitable
h%te-bloWing and drum-beating which charac-
terfze the Radical gatherings bare.
Afterwards everything seemed Su!atenough
until twelve O'Clock, when the same drums
and file were again employed to call up strag-
glers 10 the Courthouse. In q lew moments
the audience, about two hundred In number,
ASSEMBLED, and the meeting was called 10 Or
der by G. Smith, county chairman and candi-
date for the State Senate. Er. Smith explain.
ed to the meeting that the Hon. F. A. Sawyer
had Areuuested the privilege OF addressing
them In behalf Of the Boilers ticket, and that
his request had been granted; He then brief
" Introduced Mr.. Sawyer; to the audience.
The speech of Senator Sawyer was q fine
eSoft-one worthy even OF q man OF bis &C
kuoRledged ability and culture. He began

when the tune changed and he began discuss
ina the.. inertia Of TomlnBon and nls LlcRet,
and the demerits of Moses and bis confreres,
Il became but too evident that this sympathy
was zone. He discussed with much dignity
and ability the arms contract, and the pay Ger

dentkensleman In the corner responded that
solomon's education would fill the BILL: This
imprudent, Individual was temporarily de-
molished by the reply nom Mr.. Sawyer, that
he wsS glad to hear Solomon's learning would
bear him through the test, that he INT. b.
had known Solomon six years, and was all
this time ignorant. of the fact. Mr.. Sawyer
was procsedingto show up the Congressional
career Of mastery inactivity which Solomon
had olorfously followed, when he was again In
terrnpted BY o question as to his OWN career,
whether he had acted with his party. and mad
supported the civil rights bill, &c: His reply
to this was mastery. Thougn tne speaSsIs
opinion and ours are almost the antlpooes OF
each other, It Ia but simple justice to say that
the inianeE tone and words In which NJ Pm
dictated the consistency OF his course, eXnlolt.

yencement Of the interests OF tne coioieu pSo,
ple, and denounced the ISLANDERS whlcn nau
6esn .indnstrlously circulated against nun,
was magniHcently eloquent. With scorn IN
bis every look aud manner he hurled a. tne
amazed ouestioner an avalanche OF Dltter,
words, and then turning to the
audience he branded the baseness Of tnose
who whispered these slanderouS laisel0ods 10
the ears Of the uniformed masses ID tne elo-
nIent vet terrible language which only the
Mr.. SAWYER was not interrupted during the
REMAINDER of his speech-at least we don't
recollect that he was. He presented Inc
claims Of hIs ticket forcibly and with dignity:
In fact, the One distinguishing charac. erlsuo OF
his speech consisted IN Its tone: There was
none OF that dirty Bilingsgate which now 30
frequently dIsgraces political argument. we

speech deserves II. .'4'.
The remainder OF; the speaking was not re-
markable. except for the ;lameness OF the ex.
cnses for Moses. Franklin j. fs 9 hard mar
to help along. None Of his followers can ex-
plHin hlsyouthful %"errors, "as theywere called
BY 1elany. Mr.. James A. Dunbar, who FOL
lowed ar. Sawyer, tried hard TO say some
thing to shield him; bnt succeeded better In
expOaIng tina want OF cleanliness In the re-
cords Of the Bsiters than IN covering up Mr..
Moses's tracks In the pool of corruption. He
made q passable speech, however, and his
colored hearers made up In good will and
sympathy whatsoever he failed to accomplish.
MI. l. Cass Carpenter next addressed the
meeting. He did It. so well that we are In
cfned$e0 think that he would be an excellent

which had, at least, one good and sound part.
unfortunately for MI. Carpenter, he didn't
have this kind Of material aaed a,s and, consequently as E's ny,

that Mr. Moses had denieo the charges, and
