width, and extending up and down for
some distance, was packed by our new
born citizens.
Delaney, who is perfectly black man,
with sharp upright head, almost entirely
bald, opened the discussion in behalf of
the regular ticket. He is said to sur
pass all his colored cowfreres in point of
education and to be an easy and fluent
speaker.
He was followed by Samuel Lee, who
attacked Gen. Moses, Delaney and Car.

nacity seldom equaled.
Cardozo. who is the sregular'' cnndi-
date for Treasurer, was the next and
last speaker. He was frequently inter
rupted by Lee, (who persisted in being
heard with charges against himself and
others. to which he submitted and re-
piled with all the calmness and stoicism
of confident injured innocence.
The wrangle continued until dirk. and
the crowd dispersed amid the noise of
very pandemonium
EDGEFIELD.-Tho Edgefeld Adoer-
tiser, of Wednesday, suys:

last. For number of days previous.

rons, had announced the fact, and called
upon the faithful to rally from every hill
and dale. Elliott, Moses and Melton
were to be the speakers.
And the day came in it's due course:
but the mass came not, and neither did
the speakers. Indeed, the speakers
must have had prophetic warming; for
had they come, they would certainly
have been miserahly mortified. This was
emphatically one of the occasions when
the negroes stayed at home and picked
their cotton. Such miserable corpo-
rails guard We have never seen in Edge.
