HOW CAN A MAN SPEAK UNLESS HE HAS
SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.

The character Of the oratorcal efforts Of the gen
tlemen who spoke at the 9th January Convention,
and subsequently at the Hickory Club, have been the
fruitful subject OF remark by citizens and strangers
who were present, heard from Others what was
attempted to be said. We learn from various sour
that the people, in every section, a. they be-
come apprsed of the facts, express their astouish
ment
The total failure Of each and every one who made
chor, to present themselves on grounds calculated
10 interest instruct their auditory, was admitted
by all. Some accounted for the failure in way,
and some in another. To mind, the only true
reason found in the fact that they hod nothing 10 say.
Colonel Todd had, lawyer and Senator acquired
some reputation a speaker. That he failed in
every effort, aPprebend no will deny That
he came up to the just expectations Of his friends,
they certainly will not pretend The truth is, and
IT cannot be concealed, the efforts Of the Globe and
its followers, to array the party against President
Tyler, have placed the democratic party in a false
position. he administration itself, occupying a
true democratic position--to oppose twas TO as
sumo to ray the least doubtful democratic ground.
President Tyler. looking alone to the public good in
oil his measures, and empeny successful, as at
ties cd by the improved condition Of the country in
opposing hi. measures the party was forced into q
position hostile 10 the public interest Col. Todd
was not the only speaker that failed in their efforts.
Much more experienced stumpers than he failed. II
they spoke huenty about nothing, it was for the
sole that they bad, IN somewhat eminent
degree, the gil Qfhe gab."
IL such oe the only rational mode Of accounting
for the present admitted endorsements which
crowd upon the democratic party, threatening 1t
with total overthrow, how else, than by rctracng
their false steps, can the party be saved The opin
ION fastening itself daily the minds of rejecting
men, that J.hn Tyler is the only man that lead
the party on to victory. II !. the dictate, them Of
wisdom, to flee without delay to the mountain of
safety
