When the Colonel reached this point
there was deafening roar Of applause. A
simpleton, present, who did not know the
true caIibre Of the man he was ahoIt TO in
terrogate, and who wished to make himself
popular among the enemies of Harrison, ex-
claimed in a stentorian voice
"Where was General Harrison thenp
The Colonel then gave calm survey of
the crowd, until he singled out the face of
the querst. Looking him dead in the eye,
as the Kentuckians say, and drawing HIM
self TO his utmost height, with his eye dIla-
ted, and a countenance that plainly showed
that there was 10 be no hypocrisy in what
he was about to say, he replied in tones as
calm, but as portentous as the lncipIeni
rumblings that precede volcanic eruption:

Commander-in- Chief ought to hare been.
He wds IN the spot where his duty called

le my fancy by intimating in my presence,
that General Harrison is a cODard!i"
There was pause-and then there was
a silence, so profound, so Undesirable That
it was painful. In that vast crowd, for the
| space Of one minute-and that is long,
dreary lapse of time, to men who are listen
ing to stump speech-the ticking of a
watch might have been hazard, as horribly
loud as it has grated on our ear in the SOM

reigned, excepting occasionally round Of

ing was ably and eloquently addressed by
Judge Hyde Of Guilford, Hon. w. r. Ranney

West Village. Such meetings cannot fail &c
do good, tending as they do 10 keep the great
Presidential question fresh 10 the minds of the

the meeting went off finely, and we have nc
