.,.6ing with great force and pro-
,,.Iety Of the sacrlege Of which Mr.. Van
Buren, and his office holders were guilty
by having dared to lay their hands upon
the venerable principles Of our Constitution
and institutions Of our Country-he con.
yulsed his audience with yolley of char
actcrisiic humour and satire, directed
against Mr.. Van Buren, and his admins
tration.
The last person called on to address the
meeting was Col. Barringer. When this
talented and patriotic son of Cabarrus went
upon the stand, he was greeted with loud
aud hearty applause. Col. Il. SAID that
/ the affairs Of the counlfy--its wrongs aud
/ its sulierngs-and the ruiaous policy of the
administration had been so ably discussed
/ by the speakers who had preceded him,
that he should not attempt any remarks
upon those points. lie did not come to
make a speech, bat he came as the mes
sengcrirom tie heldor Marathon to Athens,
covered with tae dust and blood OF battle,
/ to tell Of yictory-of glorious triumph -
and to congratulate the Wings Of Meek
4 lcnbura on the cheering intelligence which
was pouring in from every portion Of the
State. lie said Cabarrus had raised her
standard and inscribed upon il, " John VI.
Morchcad Governor By 5000 majority"
under that they had fought and conquered.
They now had uufIrled THEN banner in
scribcd . Harrison and Tyler, by MAJOR
( ity Of II or $1,000 in the old North, and
under that they were raliyiag for the great
contessin November. Heulged the friends
of Reform to diliaencc--to united effort,
and said then the Farmer Of North Bend
and the Statesman Of the old Dominion,
would succeed by overwhelming majoritles.
From the enthusiastic ehccv!ng which fol-
lowed the speech Of Col. B. it was not diff.
hcult to see that the audience bad caught
the spirit of the speaker, and like him, and
with him, were ready and iinpati~a. to 60
forward to victory under the fla, Of Har-
rison and Tyler.
At late hour the meeting adjourned tc
candle lighting the next evening, aud &C
cordingIy on "Wednesday evening the Cour
House was again well filed with men GOO,
and true, ready to engage in any stuggl
+ however arduous, to promote the cause
: Harrison and Reform.
Mr.. Boyden was again called On for
Speech, and like a true undinching Ropnt
: lcan. as he is, he responded to the call IN
/ short but appropriated address; which va
: as full of originality and foFcible argumen
and was as warmly received, as the one
y delivered on the evening before.
Mr.. Osborne followed IN most ANNA
ing and happy address. He said he W,
