He knows how to make a crowd both laugh- and thiolva Mr. McLean, J speaking at the close, did not have & good showing. He spoke readily, fluently, appropriately and earnestly, and will do effective work in the cam paign as elector. So much for Tues day night; : Gov. "Vance's speech of two hours on Wednesday morning was a mas terly.: effort. It was . one of . the greatest speeches we ever heard in a campaign. As a stamp speech we ipcline to the opinion it is the greatest one we have ever heard. It - was deoidedly able, to begin with ; then it waswiae, patriotic, judicious; it was exquisitely adapted to time and place, and no man, however- humble his intellect, oonld fail to understand him. His practical, often . home- table, and be is en rapport with his I audience from the first word to the J last. His fun was inimitable,- his wit sparkling, his occasional' outbursts of passion and eloquence animating and pleasing. It was in tho true sense of the word a great speeoh, full of versatility and common sense and truth and political wisdom. The-1 crowd, hot as it was. would, have been content to have sat and stood two hoar 8 longer and with' empty stomachs. Col. D. K. MolWn introduction of ; Gov. Vance was extremely happy, It could not have been belter possi bly. It was a gem sparkling with wit and flowing with pleasantry. We shall iot down some notes of Wed- nesdav night's speaking hereafter. We do not think any one will accuse I of exaggerating id anything we us have said. Do not forget that J-Ames Golyer Garfield tried his best to have Gen eral HanoecK legislated out of his command. He wanted him removed,- rr,-r nf faithfnl and trooaa he was. e ' beoause he obeyed the laws of his country and would not govern with the sword. This occurred in Jan- uary, 1868, and the proceedings are uuiy reoorueu in iuv vvnymMtut Globe, page 489. Garfield J-Ames Golyer made a speeoh on his bill to discharge Hancock, in which he showed precisely what sort of a statesman and patriot he was. We can only give a brief extract from his speech. He said, referring to Presi dent Johnson and Gen. Hancock: Mr. Speaker, I will not repeat the long catalogue of obstructions wnicn He has thrown in the way by virtue of the power conferred upon him in the reconstruction law of 1807, out L will anuae to one ex ample, where he has found in a Major General of the Army a facile instrument with which more effectually to obstruct the work of reconstruction. This case is all the more painful because an otherwise meritorious officer, who bears honorable cars, earned in battle for tne union, nas been made a party to the political madness which has so long maraea tne conauct of the President. This Uenerai was sent into tne district or jjoui siana and Texas with a; law of Con gress In his hand, a law that commands him to see that justice la administered among the people of that country, and that no Dretense of civil authority shall deter him from performing his duty, and yet we find that officer giving lectures in the form of proclamations ana orders on wnai ougnt to be tne relation Between uw citu ana bmm- tary departments of the Government. We I see Mm using a general order in which he declares that the civil should not give way before the military. We hear -him declaring that be finds nothing in the laws of Loui siana and Texas to warrant bis interference in tha civil administration of those States. It is not for him to say which should be first, the civil or the military. In that rebel community. " The bill passed, Garfield voting aye. xeas iz au xwauioi , uj 45 all Democrats.

Batakee, 4ce. Sc c i From twenty-five hundred to three thou sand people assembled at the stand on Third street yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, to listen, to that favorite son of North Carolina, the inimitable and Invin cible Zsbulon B. Vance, his immense audi ence embracing quite a large number of ladies, with a considerable sprinkling of colored people, who. listened , with great attention and with seeming unction to the words of wisdom which fell from the lips of the distinguished speaker. Senator Vance was introduced to the audience by the Chairman, Col. Duncan K McRae, in one qf his neatest, moat happy and felici tous little speeches, which was well re ceived. The Senator then proceeded to address the people io one of the best and happiest efforts of his life, holding., his audience- spell-bound for about two hours and ten minutes. He commenced -by- alluding to the pleasure it afforded him to appear before a Cape Fear audience; said it did his heart good to see the magnificent demonstration Tuesday night, and thought It indicated glorious results in the coming election; in fact, he felt assured that the Lord had delivered the enemy into our hands. He adverted to the election directly preceding the war and to the twenty years succeeding, during which the Radical party had control of the government in nearly all its departments, and went on to show to what state of affairs they had brought the country. He alluded to the two great ideas that prevailed and divided the coun try, the one of a monarchial ca9t and the other leaning to State Rights, and said the only safe way was to cling to the Idea of many in one. Said there was no sueh thing as the Constitution and the Union, but that tbey were "one and inseparable," the one being equally worthless without the other. The Slate Rights absurdity was -evinced in the idea that a Stale could go out and into the Union whenever it liked, and the absurdity of the central idea was evidenced when it waa carried to such a length in reconstruction that it destroyed the Stale. It was a more complete de struction of the Union to destroy States than to separate them. He went on to show how the Republican party was the party of centralisation. In the name of the Union tbey destroyed the Union. He illustrated the condition of the Southern people under reconstruction by telling of the fellow who went to kill his beef, and said "it was so d d poor that he had to hold it up to knock it down." The Sena tor here gavo a picture of the condition of the Slate under good old Jonathan Worth's administration and contrasted It with the dark era of reconstruction. The speaker next alluded to the passage of the force bills by Congress; went on to j say that more than five hundred men were arrested in North Carolina for violating those bills, and pictured the sufferings which many of them endured, when at last here came along a decision of a Radical .U. S. Supreme Court and declared the laws unconstitutional. He alluded to the grasp- j log of the powers of the State courts and transferring them to the Federal Courts, and spoke of the manner in which revenue ! officials or "red-legged grasshoppers" were hedged around and protected in their ras calities, such as shooting down offenders without mercy, for which tbey were never punished ; said Matt Carpenter had once told him that he would cooperate with the Democrat in aecnrinir a revision of tha judiciary of the United States that it was a disgrace aa it now stood. He alluded to the manner of holding elections in olden times, when the votes were deposited in "plug hats," and no thought of fraud was entertained, the election being superintend ed by a few of the best men in the commu nity. Now.supervisors, marshals and dep uty marshals, eta, are required to take charge of and look after the purity of the elections, and these in many instances being men of the most . abandoned character. Spoke of the fact that Congress passed a bill providing for the selection of judges from both political parties, to be composed of good men, which was vetoed by Hayes, who wanted them to be all Republlcasn. All this, he said, come from the Constitu tion which had characterized the Republi can party. '.', He next alluded to the advent of the carpet-bagger into the South, who he said swindled the reconstructed States outof about $120,000,000 in eleven years; alladed to the Credit Mobilier fraud, by which the government was cheated out of about $60,000,000; Black Friday; the Sanbourn contract; the contract for burying soldiers, the holders of which buried the bones of Union and Confederate soldiers indiscrim inately and finished up with the old army mules; and the various other ways in which the United States was plundered. He then came to tno x reeuman s oaviags nan swindle, by which the poor negroes were cheated out of their hardrearned savings by, those who were , pretending f to be. .their friends and protectors, and In that connec tion spoke of a bill now More Congress, introduced by Democrat, to reimburse the; colored people for : their losses, i He then came to what he denominated the greatest! fraud of all, by which jhs Democrats were cheated font of the Presidency in 1876, and said there, was not a man of intelligence ia the United States, including Hayes himself. that doubts-that it was, stolen; alluded to Garfield's participation in the fraud, showed that he had been accused of the crimes of -bribery and perjury, and tbey had been proven upon him by his own party; spoke of his arraignment by his own constituents. in convention assembled, in his Own t6wn In Ohio, for corruption Of the deepest die; the speaker reading from. the resolutions passed at the time, referred to his receiv ing a fee of $5,000 for putting the DeGolyer contract through, and to the fact of his at tempt to have all "rebels" forever disfran cnued;said he (Garfield) also voted to continue the tax on salt, and that every pinch of that article used on our mullets or flounders had to pay a revenue. ue next returned to aizairs in our own State, and, after a brief allaaion to the terrors of the' Kirk war, cou trotted the pre sent condition of the people with that Which existed before the Democrats came into power; taxes had been reduced, edu cational facilities largely increased, an asy lum provided for the colored people, etc.; said our population was constantly in creasing, our resources were being devel oped, etc., and that all this properityhad come to ua through Democratic admjniatra' tions. i .The! speaker referred to tho fact that Jddge Buxton was rnn by Revenue offi cials, with Jim Cooper, the biggest distiller in the Slate, at their head, while at the same time it was claimed that Buxton waa the representative of Christian civilization; alluded to the squandering of the ecbool fund by a Republican Legislature, and said they spent as much in two years 1869-70 as the Democrats did in four; spoke of Jtfdge Buxton's career in the Legislature, when he and "Aunt Nancy" opposed the bill to disfranchise people for stealing, but voted to exempt convicted thieves from paying taxes, thus putting rascality at a premium. The Senator next referred to our national candidates, and alluded especially to the parity and integrity of Hancock, and con trasted him with Grant both as a soldier and a statesman ; aaid bis election meant peace, happiness aid prosperity. He briefly alluded to the Greenback question, and said they could accomplish nothing except to aid the Republicans in their fight with the Democrats; and ooncluded with a kind ly reference to eur Congressional standard bearer. J. W. Shackelford, than whom, he said, there was not a better or a truer man in North Carolina, and urged upon the peo ple the importance of redeeming this dis trict and the First at the coming election. The distinguished speaker closed amid the hearty plaudits of the multitude. ; TUB 8KC027D MIGHT. Last night thousands of people assem bled at the place of speaking to hear Sen ator Ransom and Mr. F. H. Busbee, one of the Democratic Presidential electors at large. The ladies were present in large numbers. Major C. M. Stedman intro duced Senator Ransom in well chosen and felicitous language, paying the distin guished gentleman a just tribute for his well known devotion to this section and for the important services he has rendered In behalf of our people. Senator Ransom's speech was worthy of his name and fame. It was not as condensed or as eloquent as he sometimes is, but it was dignified, very impressive, thoughtful, statesmanlike and earnest. It was the very speech to make men think, whilst stirring their emotions and kindling their patriotism. He followed four other gentlemen who had spoken from the same stand, and he pursued a. totally different line of argument and dealt with an entirely different set of facts. There were many passages elevated in sentiment and impressive in delivery. Whilst in no instance reaching his high water mark of thought and expression, (for be is capable of very grand things in this direction), he was frequently pathetic and even stirring in his eloquence. He covered a great deal of ground, and made a profound impres sion upon his audience. This was seen by the readiness with which a large part of the crowd followed him to the City Hall when a rain necessitated a change from the open air to a place of shelter. He had Spoken more' than an hour and a half when this occurred. He endeavored to beg off when the hall had been reached, but the still hungry auditors would hear of no ex cuse or denial. The continuation of his speech was in some respects even better than the outdoor effort. It was more clas sical, more splendid in both diction and illustration. Col. B. R. Moore, in appropriate terms, introduced Mr. Busbee. It was then past 11 o'clock, and he, therefore, spoke under very embarrassing circumstances. He was happy in the opening, and although so many speeches had been made within twentysix hours, and so much of the ground had been gone over, he presented hew facts for the consideration of his hear ers, and enforced them with warmth and effect. Being unwilling to pursue at so late an hour the line of thought he purposed, he only touched here and there but with force and felicity. He is a young man of fine culture, of superior mind, and is des tined to become a man of mark In our 8tat. We wish he could have had an opportu nity to address the large out-door crowd and under conditions that would have given him a full opportunity to show his metaL We . took notes upon Gen. Ransom's speech which we Intended writing out, but the lateness of the hour and a pardonable unwillingness to mar a grand intellectual effort by an attempt to reproduce any part ot it in necessarily meagre outline, leads us to a brief sccmiot Joalrad of a more elaborate report, L'r 1.0 i We must tay ibafibo.
