tary. After oxplaining the object, of the
motIng, the Chair introduced to the au
dience tie lion. James D. Tradewell, of Cc
lumbia. We shall not attempt to give evt
a synopsis of his specech or to nialie any
comments upon it further than to say he
sustained tie high character Io has always
borne as a gentleman of splondid aittain
mcnits. IIis remarks were very poinitel
and for truthful and cogent reasoning, we
have seldom heard thein excelled, tritely
eloqent at times, his spOOch showed deep
research, and a most thorough Investigation
of the subject ho so masterly handled. l'0
closed amid tie most raptuous applause.
ThoChairmantion gave notice to the itadi
cal party that the ball was open, andi an op
portunily was tendered them to reply, or
address the meeting, but no one of the-n
present. seemed to show any disposition to
do so.
Mr. James 0. Gibbs, of Columbia, was
next introduced, who entertained''thiYassem
bly with a most admirable and practicable
speech, interspersel with anecdotes, which
was hugely enjoyed, especially by our sable
brethren, as many of thet showed their
ivory from the beginning to the end of his
speech. Mr Gibbs, labored fai'tilly to
impress upon the colored man tie necessity
of deserting tie sinking ship, or they would
be overwhelmed and 0ngulphed in ruin.
le told .heim candidly, that the Southern
Do:nocrats were their best and in fact their
only friends. Stated to them the condition
of the black man North, tHIMat he had travel
led extensively and oftentimes over tie
principal cities and sections of the great
North, and that their color were tie most
degraded ald in tie most abject and imiser
able condition of any other class of people
within his knowledge. InI their great cities
you never saw a colored draymnan, carringe
driver, &c., and white mnechanics held up
their hands in holy horror at the idea of
working side by side with the negr-o, and if
the negr3 got employment, it wts of tie
most menial kind. le also told then of the
enormous burden of debt, saddled on the
country by the wild and rookless expenli.
ture of the Radical party, and most assured.
ly they would have their portion to )ear.
We regard Mr. Gibbs a first rate, extempo
raneous or stump speaker anid wvell calcutlm
ted to do good (if any can be effected) ini
the great, campaign umpon whichm we are en
tering. Ils speechm elicited muchm applaumse.
