g aConquerorsy (Hon. A. p. Arrington's opponent
and few wsNewbern lawyers, who were thrown in
to make good weight. The Conqueror" and
Squire Tom Loring' Ietterappeared to attractihe
most applause; and when the Conqueror y iold,
for the thousandth time, about The Georgia Colonel
who spent three weeks one night in the Okofenoko
swamp, and the Kentucky Sow that rooted on both
sides of the creek at once, methought the wings
would die a laughing. If the honorable gentle man
had an argument, he did not think that a1proper
occasion for It's use. With such stuff, and sickly,
squeamish appeals to the sympathy Of bis former
townsmen, he dragged on through an hour. when
the meeting adjourned to discuss the virtues of
barbecued beef" par excellence.


In the afternoon, az the Theatre, / understand
Messrs. J. Fl. Bryan and VIM. H. Washington;
mighty men amongst the Philislines, and perhaps
full Of punch and "barbecued beef" held forth to
delighted audience. With such dinner in him,
and graced by the bright and smiling faces of whis
ladies', have little doubt but that the latter gentle
man was particularly piquant and sarcastic, and
doubtless proved BY such postutates as "Judge
Barbouf's cow bells," the "Ittle red bull, - and
"Sambo's background for turnips," that the late
whig Congress actually appropriated but twenty


five instead of fortysix millions for the half calen
dar year ending 3oth June, 1913, and also for the
fiscal year ending 3oth June: 1874


Upon the whole, Mr.. Editor, I don't suppose il
has ever been your fortune to witness such beef
like and whig-ike affair. They thought TO gain
but have lost. Their dinner is stencil in the nos
trils of the people; their coonskin banners, songs
and sophistry, have disgusted many, and no doub
will tell in our favor on the 4th OF November.
/ The democrats are in high spirits The Craver
Democratic Association has held meetings every
night this week; their room has been crowded
and every demonstration been made of our part,
being fully aroused and impressed with the impor
tauce Of every man doing his duty
