which lie especially called their attention to:
the prohibition of Uio Interniarriiige of whites
and blacks; the provision of separate schools
. On Monday we left with a party from Cleave-
land Springs to be present at tho first meeting
f the two standard-bearers of the two political
parties of the State, which was to take place at
ltiitherfordton the next day. Ave saw plainly
from incidents along the way that an immense
crowd, such as Rutherfordton probably had
never seen before would be present. Our car
riage was peered into at nearly every house by
curious persons, looking irk vain for the famil
iar face of Vance. We passed a wagoner on a
Ions hill who called' to know ; if we were going
to see "Zebedee," and on being answered in
the affirmative, he winked significantly 'and
gave thrco cheers. We verily believe that
nearly every man in tho mountains thinks that
half of 'Zebobee" belongs to him, and that he
is secured by a mortgage that cannot be taken
from .him. We could not help from marking
thcontrast in greeting given the two speakers
upon their arrival in he town. Vance came by
wav of Spartanburg, accompanied by tho band
of that place and several admirer and leading
men of the mountain country, while Settle rode
in a buggy, and the time of his coming was' un
known. From sunup until noon, the people
icame pouring in by couples and squads. Eve
ry vehicle from an ox cart to a carriage bore
the old farmers who were anxious to see old
Zeb. and shake him by the hand once more.
A delegation about forty strong m6ved in from
, Shelby, and stopping in front of the Erwin
Ilons'c, at which Vance was staj'ing, gave him
three loud cheers, and moved on. In the mean
thne, a perfect throng'besieged the hotel until
. the band wagon, drawn by four chesnut sorrels,
with Vance plumes upon their heads, led the
way to the grounds. Gov. Vance was intro
duced to the audience by G. M. Whitesidcs,
Chairman of the County Democratic Executive
Committee, and on arising said in substance:
.When comparatively a young and unknown
man, he had sought the suffrages of this people
to send him to Congress, they had responded
heartily, and he was triumphantly elected.
Eighteen years had elapsed since tln'n, franght
with many vicissitudes and changes, .together
with a desolating war. He novK liad the honor
'-to appear before them' for the Chief Magistracy
of .the State. Was glad of the opportunity of
meeting his opponent, Judge Settle, face to
face, as it brought back tho time-honored cus
torn practiced by our fathers. It was right am
: proper that opposing candidates should meet
. and discuss the issues before the people. De
fined his position ns n lipoid Whig and a Union
. man at the beginning of the war. -He wen
with his State because he could not i turn his
gun against his own people. Frequent chan
ges of parlies are necessary to a pure and hon
est administration of '; tho government. When
a' party is too long in powfer, its leaders forget
that they are the servants of the people. The

Republican party has been found wanting in
these great principles. "For all tho hard times,
thefts,- swindles and peculations he held that
party was guilty,' for it held all the reins of tho
government and the keys of the treasury. It
was now bloated and insolent with too long a
lease of power and used military force to keep
its hands in the coffers of the U. S. Treasury
as it did in Louisiana when it ejected members
of the Legislature from the halls with . bayonets

not to dodge the issue (but knew he would) that
the Republican party had inaugurated a system

1 Chas. Ai Dana presided over tlio meeting
held in the large hall of the wigwam, and mads
an address which was a vigorous irupcachnieni
of tho Republican Admiuistrnllon for the post
fifteen years. A scries of resolutions wero
read, piecing thooinitcd strength and support
of their Democratic fellow-citircns to Tilden
and Hendricks and expressing nvmnntr with
men of all ranks, especially raeclutnics and la
borers, who felt so much the evil effects of Re
publican mal-ndministration.
Hon. John Hancock, of Texas, said that tho
tho great demonstration refuted tho assertion
that the Democrats were divided. He spoke of
disgrace brought on the country by the re pub-
fur the. two races and tlio disfranchisement of
persons convicted of infamous offences until
