On Wednesday morning last, as had been pre-

Mr. Griswoll next took the stand. He spoke

when he was only nine or ten years old.
After the regular speakers had finished, some

Of course, had the floor" bnt as Mr.. Rhodes said
that he could not stay until Mr.. Caskie had finish

promise from Mr.. r., that he woull speak a quar-
Ter Of an hour, and Mr.. L. might occupy the rest
of the evening. Mr.. K. and Mr.. c. both spoke
a quarter of an hour; but as MIR. {. gotto the END
of the quarter, the mo.eratorS, no. understanding
the arrangement, adjourned the meeting. The
Coons accuse us Of being dissolutionist>, but. on
tia, occasion, we certainly did not deserve the
epilhct.
The Democrats left the field in the highest spi-
ri,s--they were satisfied with the days work.
