Orangebnrg Wide Awake ! I MASS MEETING AN D 1000 MEN IN PROCESSION!!!! - On Saturday last, the, various Democratic Clubs of the District assembled at this place, for the purposo of a Grand Ratification Meet ing, and a good time generally. Although the weather was very unfavorable, being quite rainy and unpleasant, the enthusiasm of tlte Democracy overcame nil obstacles; and the re sult was the most imposing civic procession that has over passed through the streets of Orangcburg. There were one thousand men j in line, including about one hundred colored Democrats. Banners were flying; music dis coursed its enlivening strains; and decorated wagons drawn by fiuo teams added to the charm of tho occasion. Crowds of ladies, with their.usual patriotio ardor, undaunted by the rain, graced with thoir prcsonco tho routo of the procession ; and, at the stand, chcorod ora tors and audience with their smiling faces and bright eyes. Tho Stand was tastefully aud handsomely decorated j how could it be othorwisc, when fair woman's hand had traced the course of oVergrcen's nnd woven the wreaths, which were displayed, iu profusion of beauty, around on.overy side. Artistic skill contributed also to the adornment of the rostrum; and a noble ongle with outspread wings, upon a national shield holding in its beak a scroll, with the motto, "Our Itu/hts! Our Librrtic*!" ad ded to -the:; attractiveness of tho scene. Too much praise cannot bo awarded to James F. Izlnr, Esq., of tho Committee of arrangements, for hia attention to ovory detail connected with the preparation and decoration of the platform, &c., which was under his especial care and i r Auha'[Ut4)&r-tift ' supervision. Rut lot us start with the procession from the Rail road, whero under the direction of Capt. V. D. V. Jamisoii, Grand Marshal, assisted by Colonels P. A. McMiohaol nad J. O. Edwards,' it passed under an immcnoo ? Seymour ~and' Blair flag, aud marched to the inspiring music of a Cud band, through tho principal ettwets to tho Stand. Arrived there, the meeting was opened with prayor by Rev, A; F. Ihctatfnj,, and Colonel A. D. Frederick, Chairman of tho Cominittco of Arrangements, then announced the following officers of the meeting, viz : president! ' */, Hon. THOMAS W. GLOVER. vice-fresidents. Capt. F, M. Wannamakcr, Hon. David Housor, Hod. D. R. Barton, Hon; D. Shulor, Col: J. K. Mcrgr.n, Col. D J. Rum.ff, Major j. J. Salley, Capt. Jacob Stromnn, Copt. An drew Berry, Rev. I. Sk K. Logaro, Dr. W. F.

Kenncrly, Esq. . secretaries. J. A. Hamilton,* Esq., L. B. Bates. Esq., F. S. Dibble, Esq., W. A. Eastcrliu, Esq. Judge Glovor, on taking tho Chair made a short, but stirring address, alluding to tho Democratic Party as the only party which could ensure peace, prosperity and safety to our oppressed laud. Ho then happily intro duced to the audience Hon. A. P. Aldrich, who addressed tho meeting ns follows. speech of hon. a. p. ai.duich. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: I congratulate you that, despite the inclemency of the weather nud the difficulties under which you suffer on account thereof, you arc true to your duty to your dear old State nt a time when she needs all your help. I feel despon dent to sco the apathy in some sections of the Stato, but daro feel so no more nftcr witnessing this gathering. Here are young and old, men and women. Such a demonstration iu the Third District, where neither rain nor storm can impair your zeal, will not be confined to Orangcbuig alone, but will spread boyoud its limits and wake up old Bum well. and soon will be sent back her loud acclaim. Why arc you hero to-day? We have been promised pence. For three years we have had that peace, which is worse than war; a penco destructive of liber ty and manhood; and wo gather that the only opportunity afforded us is on the third of next November, when we may dissolve this crush ing'peaco. All over this country is being felt the insiduous cheat of such a peace, and we of the South, feeling it our duty, are determined to discharge it by voting for-mon Whose record shows nn unflinching and persistent regard for the constitution of our fathers. And I believe if every white man in South Carolina will do his duty as a white man we will carry tho State iu tho next election. Is thero naught in the hallowed memory of Suuit?|f^ u|i if Ma rion, and Jhosc patriot souls whosn ewords ajtfc J Wol^rp^dfe^^ ? Re mombor them, and do your duty, and we will ?parry South Carolina for Seymour and Blair .assure as tho. Democrats will, sweep New York.- Against whnt, my friends,-do -no con . tend? Ignorance, peculation and.'thieves. Thank God, these robbers who are foisted . upon us are from abroad; a few to the manor born have gone over to tho Radical party.? But are you disappointed with their conduct? No, no. ' No one expected anything better of these scalawags. They got into high places by sharpness, but they have fooled themselves for once. It was a desire to enjoy office, conscious as they were, oven in their debase ment of bciug unfit to fill the places Of men. I was talking about scalawags, and I assure you that, for a long time, I could not understand the full forco of this word. I consulted news paper men, but failed to elicit information, until I hit upon an old dictionary. It mcaus "the refuse of a herd, lame, sick, foor fellows, that no one wanted;" a fit name, suroly, for cvon the carpet-baggers, negroes and meanest of humanity despise them. I again appeal to every man in the sound of my voice to do his duty. Here, in Orangcburg, wo stand on classic ground; shall wo forfeit our claim to the heritage of glory bequeathed us in the past? Up, then, and perpetuate that record by acts befitting the sons of patriot sires. But somo say tho white mcu are all right. I tell you tho white men aro not right until they havo used cvory endeavor to carry every vote they can for Seymour and Blair. Not only ; vote yourselves, but see that every man who \ can docs vote; unless you do this you fail in your duty to ancestry and posterity] Do not stand still nor doubt; "ho who doubts is damn ed." This is no ordinary election that ap proaches. We fought four years, and were vanquished. Wo laid down our nrms and euuiu home. Since then to what have we not submitted ? Degradations, insult and wrong. We havo cried peace ! peace ! but have found no pence. Our enemies, guided by bate and venom, have goaded us on ; but, thank God, tho old party which always stood by the con stitution has again rallied; and at their invita tion your delegates met them in Couvontiou in Now York. Yon know their action. The main plank in their platform is their discision that tho Reconstruction acts are "revolution ary, null and void." They saw that if ten States woro to be tramplod upon, any State was.in danger of tho like fate, und seeing this they called on us to assist in averting from them the ruin which was our portion. Your representatives there pledged every man to do his duty, and when wo pledged you 1 know you would hail with joy tho occasiou when you could do that duty. Look nt thoso desolated fields, yon armies* sleeve, yon crutch, wotlior for tbo son -who foil at Liberty's fcb.riuc ?-look iit this pcoplo ho constant to thole, pa rolo,de8pito all thoir cruol persccutioa^Aud our women tdo-rG?d bless thom---^how#havo thoy stood by us?they who buckled oi^' tbo sword when duty called us forth, now patient ly suffer aud muriucr not. Strong mcr/j~ nro thoy not your support iu this your hflffr of trial? Is not woman's smilo your rainWw of peace? Can s?ch women bo tho mothers cf slaves? Pare you lower thoir regard"? I think not!; Men, you sco the courngo qf^your womonjgo forward and do your duty,'.und I do not fear for tho bucccss of Soymo?&;and Blair. I behove the Deitibcrnts will carry tho olectiou without tho help of South Carolina, but how proud will each of us fool whbu tho victory is won, knowirg that each did hisiduty. Do not forget that South Carolina has never been sluggard, she has always stood high on the ! roll of honor. Our great men are not dead? they animate the men I see before inoy: ' I doubt not that you will do your duty, and per suade others to do thoirs. Wo havo at. (jtjhjm bia a black and tan affair, called a Legislature. '(Tremendous roars of laughter.) Whajj^sort of a thing can he be who would aeconapf n position at -fhc hnnds of this crew? CorlJfinly no gentleman could do so. There was a Moth er, uot full brother, though, who did go.^ver, but he is not of our church, and we must ox eusc him. (Laughter.) I am sorry forvhini. Grant says, "Let us have peace." Well, who wants war; uot we. Oh no. Wo'liavo been too badly whipped for that. We hav'nt time for war; we want to rebuild our^wnste places. If tho Democrats carry this election, they will not want to fight. We arc nofrthe war part}'. It is these fellows who lmvoj^een up to their elbows in the treasuries. They say, "Elect Seymour aud Blair, and you'll havo war." Why, you cau't do anything to plcaso them. They arc a party whose first inception was fraud and tyranny. What said Gen Gillcm, when they complained that the rebel Democrats wore marching under United States flags? "You d?d fools, I fought these men four years to get thorn to inarch under that flag, and now you.object to it." fHoro the eloquent speaker quutcd from the.speech of Daniel Webster in 1850, predicting* the ruin of the nation if the party now in powcr succeeded, a quotatiou fully sustaining fthe prophecy of our lamented Cafhoun, and,?'Said he, is it not verified too true, too truc?1 I almost fear, he continued, that we may.dlavc to pass through another lied Sea of revolut ion. hut there is a prospect before us of pvou isc. Forward, then,' let us do our duty peacefully, and we'll go over "dry shod." The Nju-tb and West say march up ; if war comes, Ujfcita consequences rest where they belong. tJ^csc colored peoplo owe it to their interest as^pvi 08' ours to vote with us; aud turnj^ the villains who have lied to and lh \n. Why, Liucoln's proclamation ffftg worth about as much as ShermanVinrfti tn^os. The first titleA.culorod inTCu7"tTuit you reccired I for.. ytniT'^frccdoni was given you by your old mother, Caroliun, in Columbia, in 18(15. Ask any one if you doubt it. Even a Radical if you can find one who can tell the truth. It was impossible that you could be free unpss (the slave States changed their constitutions. This they did; honce your freedom is the dift lof your old masters. How many of tho pro mises of tho Radicals havo you realized ? I Where's your forty acres and yourinup? You'll never get cither until 3-ou work foij it us wo havo done. Look at your -Corbin; nc I has fixed himself right snugly into scvejal offices, and tho dirty dog's greod isu'tyct satU lied; he wants more. You and Gorbin :ire like dim and .foe, who had a possum. Thoy put it on the fire to cook, and Jim fell asleep. When the possum was done Joe thought ho'd er.t just a little bit, but twas so nice he ate all except a littlo piece of fat. '"Lor a inassu" says Joe, "I must fool Jim." Sn be rubbed Jim'* hands all over with the fat, and then his lips, aud laid down as if n&lcep. Jim got up sniffing tho savory fat, and pushing Joe, said, "Wa do possum?" Wn do possumI:' replied Joo; "Look nt you hand and you mout, aud do bones, and you ax me wa ho da!' "Golly," said Jim, getting up, "I must be cat uin, but I don't feel uiu ycr," laying his bund on his stomach. And so it is with Radical promises. You must surely have thorn, but can you ring any change in your pockets. Work, (lien with those who are your friends, your old n nsfcrs; they who own the lands, and intend to own them, and, my colored friends, you will never regret tho day that you quit the cursed leagues which bold you in. slavery. The}' say of us that wo hnto "that flag." Can wo, fellow-citizens, hate tho flag which Washington bore against our country's foes, which Jackson waived at New Orleans, which Taylor and our immortal But ler upheld on many a gory field iu Mexico; the flag beneath which Ingraham protected nn ndoptod citizen against a tyrant's decree f Oh, no; we rally beneath its folds, we rally in) Democrats, and there we hope for restored peaeo, power und prosperity; Tho speaker retired amid tremendous ap plause, while tho band occupied a brief in terval with excellent music. At the conclusion of tho address of Judge Aldrich, Cononel Haskoll, in an eloq tent ami patriotic strain, enchained tho attention of* the immense throng, and his remarks wen* continually greeted with shouts of applar.so. Next in order wax Col. Aiken, where labors in the cause, of Seymour and Blair arc well known in our District, and whoso animated eloquence on this occasion, fully sustained his reputation as tin ahlo and effoctive orator. .mi ',?'.? u H KM AH ICS OF COLONEL READ. zkS\ '*m*' roi" Sil wtS* ^St*- * t+ i -fE-M *?'?? i Colonel* Bead, of "Anderson, was nest intro duced, nnd regretted exceedingly that the in : clcmoncy of the weather' and lateness of the hour proventod him from doing justice to tho important occasion that assembled us togethor. He knew, by reputation, the people of Orange burg; tlioir gallantry and nobleness of charac ter could not bo confined to the district alone ; ho had met her sons iu tho halls of legislation, and on the ensanguined field had ho seen the noblo Dantzlor, the' chivalrie Glover?truo types of your population and our State's pride. He had not sought the position for which his friends had nominated him as candidato, but he would not shrink from any duty which he could render his dear old State. He was from [the mountains by accident merely, as the Rad icals hud put his district iu with the Third Congressional District because it had a Demo cratic majority. Thoy wanted to neutralize the effect ofthat majority by bringing his dis trict whero Radical votes preponderated. Hence he stood before the people of Orange burg as n candidate dor Congress in opposition to HogO. or Hog (Radical candidate). He was sanguino about his distriot, as the white men up thore wore resolved to rule, and tho negroes would stand like men at tbo polls, or bo iu tho ffold, whoro they ought to he, pick ing cotton or digging potatoes. Tbo Colonel' with happy strain, paid a fitting compliment to the Indies. His description of the horde of legislators at Columbia convulsed tho throng with laughter, and he begged tho negroes not to trust them, us all their promises and pledges wero lie? and cajolery. His '-fish machine" anecdote upset the gravity of tho crowd. It was a patented a flair to bo put upon the din ner table; the cooked fish was brought in, put to the machine, nnd the turning of a crank sent the bones flying away, while tbo meat went to tho eator's mouth. But nn unfortuuate wight tried it who was left-handed. Ho turned the crank the wrong way. so the fish flew away, and all tho bones went into his mouth. That's your fix, colored pcnnlo ; tho crank don't turn right for you, and said ho, if you hnvo any sturgeon about here it will not suit that machine, for its meat is too hard and crtarso. and isn't fit for your dogs to cat. Ho honored tho colored Democrat, and predi cted for hi in a happy home among us in the future, when the scalawags and carpetbaggers would bo exterminated. He showed tho colo red people how the tuxes affected their prosper ity, and the demoralizing influence exerted upon tlium by the Uuion Leagues'. Why said he, to retain such a people in power will be to burden even your old laying hen?every egg will bo tixed. The paiuc ofgrab.atid plunder was all on tho side of the carpet* .Jvuigor?. lie illustrated his forcible remarks ???t^Ai t'nl'HTi'T anecdote: A gentleman Pared a noble hearted drshiu^n to attend to hi,, stock, &o. About go^n^ j.iv.jj*, ho cat/ca tue ?^trislmian. and directed him to give nu eyo to everything, particularly the poultry. "All right, mir, ye may he asshured I will." Tho Irishman accordingly fed the poultry, and among them was a largo Muscovy duck, who shovelled in the iced with his spadc-likc bill. "Be labors," said Rat, "that's not fair," aud he fed the chickens apart from the duck ; but Muscovy came along again and spooned up the feed as before. "Arrah, but I'll fix ye," said Pat. Catching the duck, and taking his knife, he pared the duck's bill to a point, and and putting him dowu said, "Now my houcy thry your hand with the chockens." So said the speaker, you ?iUht trim Corbiu'a bill; he's .spooning up everything. The Colonel spoko in a humorous and eloquent style, covering all the points of interest, aud aud when closing was the recipient of a tasty wreath from a young lady close by, whereupon be thanked I in felicitous words tho fair donor, and pro posed three cheers for Seymour aud Blair which met n tremendous shout of response. Pleasant Goode of Columbia, and ? Fran cis, of Charleston, two whole-souled colored Democrats, next addressed the meeting, and wero much applauded. Their remarks seemed to impress seriously the colored perious who were present; and, we trust, will be produc tive of good results. The following resolutions were then unani mously adopted : Whereas, Croat political issues arc now pending, nnd at such periods it is the duty of all good citizens to meet together to strengthen soul with soul, nnd there to give declaration of their sentiments upon such questions as af fects the futuro welfare of themselves aud their fellow citizens ; therefore be it Rbsolerrf, That the Democracy of Orange burg District, in mass meeting assembled, look ujkui the Presidential contest now pending as one upon which hangs the most important eon sequences to tho cause of civil liberty, to the prosperity of the nation at large, and to tho happiness and peace of our homes and lire sides. Resolved, That we cordially ondorso, in every particular, the platform adopted by the National Democratic Convention, hold at the City of New York, on the fourth July last, and horoby ratify tho nominations there mado, <>f Horatio Seymour for President, nnd Francis P. Blair for YiccPrpsidcpt of tho United States. Resolved, That the occasion calls for work, and we each here pledge an earnest, hopeful and unremitting co-operation with tho Dem ocrats of this and our sister States in their efforts, to maintain -truth justice and the cwis tiiution, by mcanB of tho^ballot box, at the approaching Presidential election; and to this end, wo individually pledge our best cffortB in our respective neighborhoods to Boouro the largest possible vote for our standard bearerB, Seymour and Blair. After tho speaking was over, tho tables were visited, and without confusion or disorder, overy guest found hia appropriate place.? - Twenty-five tables, each under chargo of a par tioulnr club, were loaded with substantiate, and ovon luxuries, aud no one went away hungry, or dissatisfied. The supplies were ample to have fed twice the number, and hid the weather been more favorable, twice tho num ber would have been present, to enjoy tho day. As it was, however, it was a glorious suc cess,?a great day for the Democracy of old Oraugcburg. ORANGEBUR? PRECINCT, DEMOCRATIC CLUB.
