opics now agitating the country, and discussed
hem in very able and convincing manner, rem
lering entire satisfaction to the audience, who
manifested their pleasure and appreciation by
repeated smiles and cheers. Finding his voice
falling him from physical debility, be apOogizedI
with much feeling and regret, that bis enfeebled
health did not permit him 10 speak longer, and
discuss matters of State policy He adyened
with the ardent warmth of his honest heart, TO
the qualification he felt in meeting his Demo
cratic friends of Harrison county. Like the
most of them, he had been raised at the plough,
what education he had, was acquired in our
common schools, and by his own perseverance; J;
and being thus reared up as one of them, he
thought he knew their interests, and if elected,
would endeayor 10 advance their welfare Mr.
Us gentlemanly department, manly brow, and
honest face, carried conviction TO the hearts of
his hearers, that these declarations sprung from
a bosom that knew no guile and deception, and
that the public interests were safe in his hands
Even many of his political opponents were led
to praise him.
After Mr.. Tod closed, JOHN BRoUGH, Esq.
took the stand, and in speech of over three
hours in length, riveted the attention of the au-
dience in the most happy manner. We have not
time nor space to speak particularly Of the argu-
ments ADVANCED by him in such lengthy dis
course, but the way he ilayed " that same old
coon" of Ashland from his own speeches and
biography, was caution to whiggeIy! So, also,
with Solitude Ewing, whom he proved falsifer
from his own speeches in 1910, about Mr. Van
Buren's expenditures, the public debt, &C., and
his Reports when under oath as Secretary of the
Treasury, place which he was found ncompe-
tent to fill Mr.. B. likewise skinned Tom Cor
win and olhel coons on the subjects of the Ta-
riff, Distribution, United States Bank, Oregon
and the Annexation of Texas, so edectually.
that the coons present put on the most wobegone
faces imaginable!
Mr.. Brough's speech was repcte with facts
and figures, and his arguments fell irresistby
on the ears Of his auditors. His remarks upon
the Tariff question--his illustrations and com
PARSONS, associated with practical proofs and
pleasing anecdotes, showing the utter faliacy
and inconsistency of the whig doctrine that the
higher the Tariff or tax on goods the lower the
price of the article, were received in the happies
manner, g. responded to with many hearty cheers
His address was quite an achievement, and a:
public speaker, he acquitted himself in man
nor which was acknowledged on all hands, ent
tied HIM to rank among the best orators of ouI
country.
/ We must not, however, forget the Democratic
ladies who were present on the occasion, anc
Icheered us with their smiles of appreciation
The friendly feelings they manifested for the
cause of truth and right, showed that the fire O
enthusiasm burned no less brightly in thei
hearts than ours, and that they properly appre
cated the blessings of Republican form 0
Government.
Mr.. Brough having closed, the meeting was dis
missed, with a notice that there would be
Torch Light Procession at night, and the Demo
cracy returned into town, cheered from the wa,
side and corners by the young and old, with al
! enthusiasm which is the sure precursor of
great, grand and glorious victory i'll Octobe
/, next.
