Your correspondent, in company with
young friend, Mr.. 7. G. Brown, attended a
'Rallylng Of Colored Republicans" at New
port, Frederick county, last Wednesday night.
The meeting was called to order by LLOYD
Hammond, who was elected chairman, with
- Cox, as secretary. They were addressed
by "Hon.p John Ii. Butler, Of Baltimore,
and Mr.. Myers, Of Frederick city. The lat.
ter's address was poor, but Buffers was rich,
rare and racy. He "gave his own party
away" by telling how they "cabbaged'' to.
bacco at the Custom House ia Baltimore, while
being inspected before il was weighed. In
speaking Of Mr.. Gary he said, ~ present TO
you one of Marylands "sablef sons; will you
elect him by your solid, united vote? He is
a good man. The Catholic priest says so; the
datfooied white Methodist preacher says so;
the water-baptist preacher, who swims any
time IN the year, says 80; the foot.baptist
preacher says he is good on the foot; lup.
rohIloub hpplhuscf) the nrlstOcrntic Episcopal
minister, with his white flowing gown, says
so, aud the Presbyterian minister, with his
long face, says so, aud it must be so. | tell
you, my frens, the democrat ticket will do
for the white man, but how a colored man
can vote it the devil can't tell, Applause. }
An my friens we mus be homes for honesty
is the bes' Of policy. | know we has some
white folks that will steal Eyes, yes, JUS as
quick as us; but dey are educated and don't
git caught at it, and they don't steal small
things. (''That's so. A darkey will fasten
on TO as small a bundle us turkey but a
white mas waits till he sees $40, 900, and then
he will figure in stare and tret'i and watch
his chance to escape, and then look innocent,
aud actually help TO hunt for the thief
Terrific applause.) At times the speaker
would become eloquent, but would gradually
fall to q braggadoca style, aud then he could
easily be discerned as an old plantation dAr
key with his grim wriggle and blunt interro,
gatiyes. The meeting was exciting and ended
with three cheers for the speaker and Gov,
Gary elect.
