Colonel Chastain White was speaking.
The crowd in attendance was varlously
estimated at from eight hundred to one
thousand. This was not the reporters esti-
mate, but that Of leading members OF both
parties. There were Humber OF ladies'
present, most OF whom remained interested
spectators until late hour.
The proceedings were enliyened By ehoice
music from Kessnich's band, and with the
exception OF the Interruptions to Captain
Wise and DR.. Chiles the meeting was & very
creditable one, and the friends OF the Con-
serJative candidate have every reason to be
gratiied. Whatever may be the result OF
the canvass, General Johnston can certainly
rank among his supporters in Manchester at
least q very fair proportion Of its tax
payers, its intelligence, and its honest III"
dustry.
Yesterday morning General Joseph E.
Johnston, accompanied by Augustine Roy
all, Esq, superintendent OF the Fourth
Ward Conservative Committee, paid visit
to the Iron and Nail-Works OF the Old Do
minion Company, on Belle Island. An hour
or more was spent in informal and social
conversation with the operatives there EN-
ployed. The impression created by the
visit was q most favorable one, and it Is be-
linycd that the true workingmeu, who have
everything to lose by 4 deprecated cur
rency, will make things red.hot for John-
ston, Conservatism, and solid money on
clection-day.

are OF the opinion that it is best for the
coorcd people OF this city and OF this dis

substantial men OF the district, Of whom we
receive our daily bread, and on whom we
must necessarily depend for future prospcr'-

their own self-aggrandiZcment without any
thought OF our good as people, and to OBJ
