to the utter astomShmcnt OF the great body OF the pro.

denounced, and in letter to Mr.. - Of Hanover laa

for the next Presidency-and that, IT was the hr,
time the Banks had failed under the "Deposltc sy.
tenn he would give them another trial, and il tIrr
then failed, she went for 4 dirorcc out and out. At
these Developments, candIdy say have never seen
any people Disguised with any man in my life =
1t is true, some Of them instructed him to vote for VI
Rves; but mark you, they had made repeated decaTl
tons that they signed those instructions with the bella

After such downright deception, the disgust and ds
tisaction of the people will be long, loud and deep
Such conduct would not be borne with III Il dcspo
Government much less by people claiming the rgt
of clfgovcrnment. MIR. Southall made fine speec.
and displayed much of the orator. He addressed III
people for little two hours Ii Mr. Sou,haI haC
graduated at College, and was about receiving has
ploma on the 18th of July, and delivered such speech
1t would have been considered fine specimen OF e.
qucnce. Butas to an argument on State policy As SCI
to any grave solid positions against the Sab lie4
sury, candidly say it was deficient.
Mr. John Il. Iloladay of this county, replied u

ever listened to, by any my life II IS prooa
BILE, that it the first political speech he ever mad
it sunk deep into the hearts of the peoplc-lhe lo4so
conclusions, drawn with mastery hand, from irFe
able facts received with repeated bursts o! aP

MIR. Holiday eNcelled himself: he drew lht S"'

of the community. Although the re-organza'o"
