Democratic Meeting.

Cn last Thursday evening X. H. Reeves, of Plymouth, addressed the people of this place from a Democratic stahd-pointon thaiuiiugisaDcs of tho day. He was fierce in denouncing the secession movement of tbe New England Slates in 1812, bbt had no harder eftitbet for his dear Southern friends,, thap that thoy were wrong. Ho told ps living issues that tbe District of Tjiomah Jefferson, iu Bputh Caro--1 lina was represented by a negro who could rieither read Dor write, lie assured his hearers that his pure Anglo-Saxon blood boilod whou he thought of those things. Wo understand that he was' in the same suffering condition during the war, when news of a Union victory came. It, boiled so much then that we wore really in hopes that the boiling of his blood would cease — but as he assured us that his blood boiled we were foroed to believe him. lie assured his hearers that at the time of the New York riot' the of Antietam was raging, that tlrbre was but one pure patriot injbe land and he,now headed the Democratic ticket— Horatio Seymour, and that these maddened rioters who could not be crushed out by fivo thousand troops, whon they heard the soice.. of B&Y>l£>mJ-hey were'calmed as Christ calmed the Tempest and that they at once ceased their works of murdor. He then stated as a fact that nine out of every ten of the white people of the South were disfranchised —and while he uttered this base misstatement his blood boiled again. There is i)Ut one way to stop the blood of the pure patriot, C. 11. Reeves, from boiling and that will be to elect Seymour and Blair, turn loose the infamous Ku Klux undor Ben Hill, Toombs. Forrest and iS’therd of the great leaders of the South and let ttfefif mufder Union men at will, let them bang from every tree—let their dwellings be given to the flames, and then and then only, will C. 11. Reeves’ blood cease to boil. JS?~See that you vote the straight Republican ticket next Tuesday,.—
