$40 Ough..JO Turner's Discontinue. "a


We learn from correspondent that the
Hon. John Pool and w. M. Coleman, Esq., n, I,
made telling speeches in Hillsborough on ID
Monday last before large and enthusiastic h
audience!e,.f .oiyGQ HG3 rG"oA "a"
Mr.. Pool led off and in an address Of
about two hours and succeeded in removing
all the false impressions that had been made
upon many minds by designing demagogues.
He told tie people that this Constitution
was the most liberal that could possibly be
offered; that, it disfranchised no man; but
on the contrary, extended equal rights to all
that it gave guarantee to property that
| had never been given before, by providing
| that the tax on property to the value OF three
hundred dollars should never exceed the tax
on the single poll; and that in no case should,
it go beyond two dollars. Mr.'Pool closed by


warning the people of the fearful consequent
ces which must follow, should this Constitu-


tion he voted down. -yaa"


Mr.. Coleman followed in characteristic
speech of an hour and quarter, devoted


mainly to exposing the frauds that had been
| practiced upon the people about NEGRO su-


prcmacv," the schools, the militia, taxation,


&C. He stated that there was one way in


which we should have negro supremacy


with a vengeance, and that. was to vote


down the Constitution, and to let the negroes


and the sron clad" white men form another


Constitution which would disfranchise about


forty thousand white men, and tax them to


paw the expenses of provisional govern


ment. .f..I e.
We further learn that 10 Turner exhibited


himself upon that occasion in his customary


attitude. After Mr. Pool had commenced


his speech, 10 came upon the stand and in


terrupted the speaker by asking fora divls-


ion of time. Mr., Pool replied that it was


then nearly one O'clock; that he was COM.


PEELED to leave by half-past five to take the


train to meet his appointment at Graham,


and that his trend Mr. Coleman, the candi-


date for Attorney General, would speak after


him; that Mr. Guthrie, candidate for the


Senate, expected to address the people and
/ that there was no time to be divided with
out doing injustice to the parties for whom
the meeting was appointed. Mr.. Pool then
showed that Jo had refused to allow the
Hon. R. P Dick to reply to him, and that


he (Jo) had no claim for any such courtesy.
p Besides it was perfectly evident that JOS
request for a division oil time was not made


in good faith. Had he really wished to


have been placed on exhibition by Mr.. Pool


he would have seen the Republican speakers


the evening before or that morning, at least,
Z when the arrangement might have been


made by commencing two hours earlier. As


it was, it was not at all in taste or reason
for 10 to come and interrupt speaker at


Republican meeting and ask for division


of time at that late hour, when he had been


in town ever since the evening before and


had not mentioned the subject.


r 10 proposed to take Mr.. Pool to Graham


on hand car the next morning. Mr.. Pool


replied that he would like to carry 10 around


on hand cur but that he himself usually


travelled by steam.r 10 made a lame excuse


for not asking division of time sooner by


saying that lie lived one mile from town.


Mr.. Pool remarked that he might have come


in on a hand eur. Jo got sick of the hand


Car business, and beat as hasty retreat as


he could amid dtheprolonged laughter of the


crowd, who enioYel JOS signal discontinue


hugely. Poor Jo in short time will not
have even a hand car at his disposal. If re-
, ports are at all to be believed, a majority of


the employees on the road will vote the


Equal Rights ticket.


There never was such change as that
: which is now taking place among the people
: of Orange County. From every section OF
the County the news is coming up from the
white men that they have been deceived by
rebel spokesnen and that they are now GO
ing in for the Constitution and the ticket -
: Orange may be safely put down on the Re
publican side. Not less than from one to


two hundred white votes have been gained
in that County within the last ten days
. Orange will be redeemed |':a
