which endorsed Mr.. Barbour for Congress, the
writer neglected to say that the meeting was
composed entirely Of negroes, and all the ora

Barbour's friends were thoroughly Disguised at
hearing one Of the sable orators say during his
speech that Notwithstanding Mr.. Barbour was

triumph we are Indebted not alone to the

heretofore have been its opponents. This
election means opposition to National Bauk
