Monday last was another day that will
long be remembered by the Democracy of
Howard. Never did set of men make
greater fools of themselves than on this
occasion.
Mr.. Minor. the new aspirant, first ad-
dressed the Democracy at the north east
corner of the Court House yard. He
made kind Of mill. and-water speech, on
the subject of National Bank, and the
late law of Congress, in reference to the
districting of the States. He was "sorter"
in favor, and "sorter" against BOTH He
wished to oppose them just far enough to
keep in with the Locos, and be in favor
of them enough to secure the Wing vote
He got fairly astride of the fence, but
maintained his position SO badly that both
Locos and Wings were dissatisfied. When
man attempts to carry water on "both
shoulders he must be uncommonly partic-
ular or he will let one side drop and very
probably both. Mr.. Minor unfortunately
"made such bad out" that he fairly let
his water drop off both shoulders, and fell
between the parties and neither will touch
him. After Mr.. Minor had closed his re-
marks, a motion was made to adjourn to
the Court House, which was unanimously
carried, and then the Kilkenny fight COM
menced.
c. F. Jackson rose and made a speech
occupying about two hours, on the uncon-
stitutionality of United States Bank, but
as it was the same speech he has made
time after time, and year after year, it is
to make any further illusions
to it, as any one who has ever heard him
speak on the subject of bank, heard the
very same speech he made on Monday.
He also spoke upon the District System,
deeming it unconstitutional and from what
we could gather from his remarks deci-
dedly in favor of notification.
DR.. Scott now rose and made few re-
marks; he said he preferred the district
system to the general ticket system, al
though he did not like to be forced into it;
still he believed it to be Constitutional and |
was opposed to notification; he stood now
with General Jackson in his famous South
Carolina Proclamation and where his
friend on his left, [pointing to DR.. Lowry
then stood.
This was rather bitter pill for the De-
mosthenes of Howard and he rose to ex-
plain how it happened that he had changed,

terly style. He said, if he was not a candi-
date, he was voter and there was no
mistake about that. The gentleman had
accused him of changing his opinions, which
was not the case; the venerable jackson
was then President of the United States
and he was Jackson man, and of course
he was bound to oppose notification in
South Carolina. Gen. Jackson was no
longer President of the United States, but
his friend, c. F. Jackson, was candidate
for seat in the Legislature of Missouri;
Jackson was in favor of notification and
he knew he must be right, because all by
the name Jackson were great men, it mat
tered not whether it was Gen. Andrew
Jackson, the hero of New Orleans, or
Claiborne F. Jackson the Clique candidate
for Congress, that couldn't quite come it"
for nomination at Jefferson; was not this
a sufficient reason for changing his opin-
