w. Bradbury read series of resolutions, season.
ed in his best style. and delivered in his most en-
phatic and earnest manner. They will be nice
picking for us next week, after we get them in
the Age. Ex-Councillor DR.. Burnham Of Orland
took the floor aud delivered one of his peculiar
harangues. We like the doctor, for he is always
funny and good natured, but his speeches are
rather uninteresting to this generation. He new
er comes down later than the last war, and gener-
ally goes back to old John Adams's time, never
paying the least regard TO the feelings of the old
federalists who associate with him. He was
followed by ex-Speaker Hamlin, who was not
elected to Congress last Fall, nor nominated now
for Governor, but has lost none Of his vigor or e-
o4uence, for he detained in first rate loco foco

He looked up at us in the gallery and told us to
mark what he said and publish it in the Journal.
We cannot undertake to be his reporter we
like to hear him talk however. and we have only
to,say that if he and his political friends want to

administration.
And another, student Of Bowdon College, made
quite a flourish, and drew down tbunders of ap-
panso. Both these probably candidates for
C onnty attorncysbips, but we do nor how the
old office holders can spare them any thing. This
young gentleman acclaimed vehenIcn,ly about the
promises of the Wings to restore the prosperity Of
the country, and said they had not done it. lie
had better go back to his College exercises. The
pleple are not 80 silly as he supposes They new
or expected the Wings could change tho condition
o! the country by magic, the touch of an
chanter's wand. Relief must come from adopting
new policy, or rather restoring the old and this
must have time to operate. The sub-tfeasury is

whether the people will let them get their fingers

are some old scores to be settled yet before these
