RALEIGH, N c., July a. 1872.
The Grant and Wilson demonstration advertised
for some time past was made here to-day. AS
election day approaches the contest wakes warmer
and both parties are working heartily. This occa
sion was looked forward to with interest, because
of the expected presence Of the Secretary Of the
Interior; Ex-Governor Hartman, Of New Hamp-
shire Senator Pool and other distin-
guished members of the party from abroad.
The people OF this State cannot in
the pending elections plead ignorance IL they
should vote by chance against the interests OF their
country. The great guns OF both sides have
stumped nearly every neighborhood Considering
the extensive advertisement Of this meeting and
the fact that this occasion, stated by prominent
republicans, anticipated as one OF the most
important of the campaign, the enthusiasm mani
tested not mp to that usual in mass meetings OF
this KIND, and especially that exhibited by the
eXcitable colored race, who, OF course, compose
the major part OF republican assemblies In the
South
MIXED PROCESSION.
At ten O'Clock procession composed OF about
one hundred cOlored men, women and children,
formed in front of the Court House. and headed
by the Raleigh Brass Band (colored) marched
through the principal streets OF the city, augment
ing in strength 10y additions from colored people
on the line Of march. Hating for moment at the
day. the procession proceeded to Moore square,
shady grove on the outskirts of the city, on
reaching which the crowd was estimated as
numbering about six hundred sevcneighths of
the audience were Of the coorcd race while on the
outskirts Of the assembly might be seen quite a
sprinkling of democrats ana liberals, who are at
tracted thither by desire to hear what OF the
CHIEF sPoKEsMEN or THE PRESIDENT
numbers nun Of blacks cannot, however, be taken as
any indication of lukewarmness on their part in
the administration cause or anything like serious
split in their ranks For many reasons the demo-
Gratis will receive but few accessons from their ranks
In the impending elections. Some time will elapse
owing the drill OF party before the efforts OF the
opposition ALLEVIATE any considerable portion Of
that vote. The policy OF the conservatives seems to
be that set forth by Mr. Dooittle, not to base any
calculation on the cOlored vote, but to advise Them
holding that without their votes Mr.. Greeley
be triumphantly elected. One reason OF the COM
parative smaness OF the assembly was perhaps
that no attraction In the shape or barbecue had
been provided. intellectual ieasts in this country,
as well as elsewhere, are always more appreciated
when served with something for the inner man.
