Co!ored Indignation Nseting.s Several
days ago hanahilIs were posted in various
parts OF the city requesting the .eolored ci,i-
zeris Of Manchester TO assemble at the Pc
tersburg railroad. crossing on upper HUI,
street ONT Tuesday, December SNh, at II,
O'Clock, to hear questions OF great interest
and importance discussed. Yesterday ac-
cording TO request. about one hundred ana
fifty colored persons were on hand at the
appointed hour to listen to the speakers,
who were atnounced TO address them. q The
object of the meeting up to short
while before the speaking began was
unknown to many who were present, con-
seauently much interest was manifested as
to the purpose OF the meeting. The queS-
tions which were announced to be OF great
interest and importance related 10 penlten-
tiary convict labor, the rights OF negroes TO
serve on jurieS, the abolishnent OF the cap
itation tax, and the repeal OF the law which
diSiranchises persons who have been con-
vic,ed Of petty larceny. The speakers
who addressed the crowd contended that
the Code OF Virginia should be revised
so that the laws touching the above ques-
tions can be repealed, for they considered
them obnoxious. Some very ludicrous al
lusions were made by the speakers, who ap-
peared to be deeply interested in the pro-
ceeaings.
The meeting was prolonged several hours
and numerous speeches were made, the
most interesting being those made by Mar
tin Archer Harris, Rev. Jordan Smith. and
NJ. n. Woodbridge. Resolutions were adopt
ell memOriaizing the Legislature TO repeal
those laws which they consider obnoxious

kRebel Gray.
BY I. O. W.

Once again the naughty southrons,
Backed by crayens, as of yore,
Dare defy the Nations mandates,
Seeking slavery to restore;
Dare TO dictate to the freedman
How bis suffrage shall be cast,
And with fraud and tissue ballots,
Strive for power as in the past.
Strive to make the blood and treasure,
Loyal men so freely gave,
Of no avail for human freedom,
Seeming every patriots grave:
Dare to ask compensation,
For their losses in the strife,
While in deep unholy passion,
Thirsting for the Nations life.
Dare 10 claim that Nations bounty,
For the traitor triple dyed,
Who despite his crimes gigantic,
Is secession's love and pride;
The fiend who spoke no word Of censure,
To those God defying men,
Who our gallant soldiers slaughtered,
Starving in foul prison pen.
He whose life was justly forfeit,
But despite OF all was spared,
Yet whom traitors still are lauding,
Boosting that his guilt they shared;
Clamoring for the right to torture
All who dare to disobey,
While the south in solid phalanx,
Seeks on human rights to prey.
And within the halls of Congress
Men who wore the Rebel Gray,
Talk of starving out the Nation,
It'll their mandates it obey;
Leave them free TO force elections,
By the terrors late SO rite,
And to silence opposition
By the shotgun or the knife.
Northern democrats, applauding,
Join the damnipg rebel raid,
And out Herod cen the boldest
OF the southrons' mad brigade;
Caring naueht If they can capture
Once again their country's power,
And revel in the spoils of office,
AS before secession's hour.
But true hearts again are beating,
With sternness scarce less dire,
Than on the day when traitorous legions,
Dared on Sumter's flag to fire;
At the polls, as in the battle,
They will meet the south anew,
And crush out this new rebellion,
