the cogency Of its argument, its beau.
tlful illustrations, its apt and felicitou>
classical illusions, formed altogether
the most beautiful specimen Of loren
sic e oquence, ever listened to in any
age or any country. The meeting
was likewise addressed by Col. A. l..
Bingaman, Chancellor ]. A. Quitman
Gen. Felix Huston of Texas, and Mr..
Alden. The gentlemen in their ad
