Mr.. Smiths Address.

In obedience to the call of our towns
men, Mr.. VIM. JORDAN and nineteen 9TH
ers, who have until recently supported the
formerly member of Congress from Cum
berland, addressed the citizens of this town
and vicinity, at the Town Hall on Thurs
day evening, in thrilling and appropriate
manner. We forbear remarks on his pro-
duction, in this number, as our limits, even
had we the ability, would not permit US to
do him justice. Suffice it TO say, the
speech was listened to with profound atten-
ton by crowded audience, who gave evil
dent tokens of their hearty appreciation -
1t was pr oduction that would not fail of
convincing the unpreyu diced and true lover
of democracy.
