Etheridge spoke last Saturday to
about fifteen hundred people at Hum
boldt, most of whom where negroes.
He seemed to be working for the pur-
pose of arraying the blacks against
the whites, and the old Wings against
the Democrats. He denounced Til,
den and the Democracy generally and
Landed Hayes, Wheeler and corrup>
ton, all of which fell still-born on the
thinking part of his audience. Many
of his old admirers were present, but
nearly all left disguised.

Capt. Gay says the Exchange did
him gross injustice in its report, and

himself. If necessary We can give to
the public the names of many respom-
sible gentlemen who agree with Us.
