The speakers stand was occupied by
General E. &. Walthali J. Il George,
Captain B8rksdsle, Mr.. Freeman, mr.
Younger (coloTed), Hon. J. W. c. Wat
son, Holly Springs; Jefferson Davis and
other distinguished gentlemen. There
was q large assem- Dlage Of people, iECIui-
ing about five hundred negroes, on the
square, to hear the address. General
Waltball rose and said Fellow ci i
Zens-I have the pleasure t. introduce to
you rs your first speaker, General
George, OF Jackson, the able and efficient
chairman OF the Democratic State exec.
utive committee. He needs no intro
dGction from me, as he is better known
to you than 1. Applause. General
George, after plimenting the people
upon their interest and devotion 70 the
cause, said this demonstration was an
omen of victory, and redemption and
freedom for Mississippi. He was well
posted everywhere in the Stale, and it
was his pleasure to tell them that the
white people, and large part Of the coll
ored people all over the State, were en-
gagged in q spirit and determination to
win the victory for the Democracy. It
can't be defeated; the sun would as cas-
lily turn backward in its course; the
same spirit mauifesting itself here was
manifestiDg itself all over the State.
The same feeling prevails in Marshall,
on the north, Harrison OH the sea coast
on the east, and Washington on the
west. If the cOlOred people in Grenada
county don't get into the Democratic
wagon they will be one of the few who
fail. He reatfirmed the fact that Il @
Democrats would carry the State. Such
q spirit and determination to win IS the
people showed tonight were never de- |
feated. They must be vigilant, how !
ever, and keep the enemy to the ground. :

who called on him, that he 8rmeG the |
NIL tia believing that the white people |
would not maiI tSin peace and secure a |
fair election. TEey assured Ama5 they |
were for peace, ami had always been for |
it. Ames then dis6anded the militia, |
and he (GeOrge) believed Ames wCuld |
carry out his compact. Mr.. Younger, |
the cOlOTeG orator, next made a speech, |
denying the northern statement that |
negroes and whites could not We am |
icably g5ther. He censured the car
petbaggers for their conduct, and denied |
they represented, although they as.
sumed TO be, Republicans. His speech |
was similar to the one mad a5 SaTd |
last month. 1t was well received, ssDs-
cislly by tue cOirceG people, On whom |
had ap0WerfGl effect. TWAS : ve-y az
mirable speech and able srgumeU
During his speech he charged Mathews,
the Radical negro lawyer OF Pane la, Of
having betrayed the confidence OF two
c0loled clients, who, in consequence,
have been doomed to die.
Speeches were also made by Judge
Watson, General WalthalI, Captain
Captain J, NJ. Ellis ami Iii G.
Y. Freeman. They were able, and ar
ragned the Radical party most fearful
~. The lateness of the hour prevents q
full report. They were worthy the rep
utatiOn and character Of the gentlemen.
Fifteen hundred persons were in the !
and altogether the occasion
was an honor to Grenada, and q glory to
Mississippi. President Davis remained |
but shOlt time, and then went to
Jackson.
A CIRCULAR.
l send you the following circular, as
one of the good moves the canvass has
developed:
"HERNAND0, MISS, October Il, $50.
TO the Republicans of DeSOto County:
1.-THE friends of the parties named be-
low have their permission to announce |
them IS candidates for office at the |
ensuing election:
For the Legislature, Hon. Thomas
M'Cain, (colored) member of the legis-
lature.
"For sheriff, Sowell Newsom, treas
urer.
"For chsnoery clerk, Hon. A. W. |
Smith, cx mem Der Of the Legislature.
"Our county ticket, it is believed by
very large majority of the party, is not |
altogether of men good and |
true, and worthy of our conf ience and |
support. That widespread dissatisfaC- |
ton with the ticket exists throughout |
the county, is an undeniable fact; and if |
1t remains as it is, certain defeat will g
the result. Two of the candidat 8
are openly charged with |
having embeZzled public moneys; and |
the fact that their bOndsmeu made good |
their deficit goes far to establish the |
charge. One of the candidates for the |
Legislature two years ago sold himself to |
the Democracy for a suit OF clothes We |
DO not think such men can or ought to be
elected to office by any party. The peO-
pie have right, at ali times, to vote for
whom they please, regardless of con-
ventiops, and when they have been i'm
posed upon by few reckless men, who !
by tcickery and fraud have secured for
places on the ticket, and |
who would, if elected, as they have done
Oefore, disgrace the party, it is high
time for all honest Republicans to think /
and act for themselves.
"We are in the majority In the coun-
y, and ought to elect our ticket, but we
will not be driven ike cattle
to the support Of corrupt men because
they have secured the nomination.
1.-THE men announced in this card |
have ever been Republicans since the
party had an existence in the State, and
have served the people faithfully and |
In Office. Compare their rec
ord with the actings and doings OF their
opponents, and if you find them more
worthy, and think they will serve you
better, vote for them. Tickets will be
supplied at every box, and placed with
ia the the reach of all.
