iptelhpent friond assures that no ssch impress
sion has been made there by any Speech this
campaipn. There was no flourish, no making
points to elicit cheers, but candid and powerful
handling OF all the great questions in issue be-
tween the parties, which took deep hold of the
understandings and conscienccs of the large as
scmblage of both parties. The contrast with such
speeches as those OF Ely Moore, with his ,hcatrl-
cal fustian and his false charges that the Wings
| advocate the Assumption of State Debts, &c was
striking and salutary.
We trust Mr. Ketchum will be able, rs we are
sure he is most willing, to speak often during the
short remainder of the campaign. The people
NAV not hurrah or laugh much at hearing such
speeches, but they remember and act on them
