We might spin out our article TO an inter.
Hinsee length If we had disposition but
his arguments against the bank were sim.
liar TO what has been constantly published
sach as The Gessramsat had iosi ty TIE R4at-
Bank not abb 10 regulate the State Bdnks. &c
but we shalt not do so such arguments hsye
been hundred times before The people aud re
futed.
We regret we were not present to hear his eulo
GUM on James h. Polk-but we understand he
auded him 10 the skies We think, if the gen
lleman had been questioned as another speaker
was at another certain place, 10 what he had
done, ho would have been equally as hard run to
give the proof Of his services But he pledged
the old dominion to hun, stating tn. the organ
Of the party in Richmond had gwen il up
VIVA, does the Richmond Wing say to this -
Is i, true as Mr.. D:omgoole asserts that il has
given up the contest : We read It's columns
pretty close and we have never seen any such
admission. Let US hear.
Upon the whole. although the Locos may
think they have given US death blow by tho
exhibition of one of the "bg guns" of Loco
Focoism, if we are, not very much mistaken, it
~lh operate to our advantage. Every one is
disappointed in the man, and he might speak
til doomsday and not Wing would be fright
tened from his propriety"-if any thing they
are more confirmed and settled in their faith.-
But, on the other hand, if we can udge from
the want Of that enthusiasm which accompanies
the support OF good cause, we should say that
has own party was mortified. They expected to
hear something great but they have to 90 away
as they came without being satisfied All we
have 10 say TO tho Locos is, bring US some more
such speakers.
After the General concluded the Barbecue

Saunders took the stand
We we're not present at the commencement Of
his speech nor did we lston to him but short
time, While We present however, he refer.

he spoke against the Tariff Of 1882 and now IA

that lie was once in favor of Bank man for tho

We regret were absent When the Judge at.
tempted to prove before the citizens of Mecken
burg that Ezekiel Polk was not Tory Unjust
have taken many Of the old men by surprise to
hear any one attempt this. when they are all con.
versant with the fact, that he was as recresnt
Tory any in the Revolution. One of his Ger.
tlfcates proves directly what was denied By tie
Joint Stock Concern" a few days ago that ne
did take protection and that to save his properly.
Gould any thing stronger be wanting to prove
his Toryism, when the wings in the neighbor.
hood removed their property to save it. Another
certificate was reed from Gen. Micheal McLeary,
who states that he never heard Ezekiel Polk
sheet in Charlotte (meaning the JOlrnal) We
shall not question the truth of what the General
certihes to-but we leave it to the people TO re.
conelle this certificate with the known facts Of
the case, as they have been detailed from father
to son from the revolution to the present day. Is
there man forty years old who has not heard
the chafge-we think there cannot be one man
found over forty, much less slightly years, but has
heard the charge, but not syllable has reached
Gen. McLeafy's ears. Well. it is an old saying
that none is so blind as those that wont see.
From what wc can learn from persons who
have mixed with the crowd, there is any thing
else but split Of enthusiasm abroad and the
best evidence Of il is, the people say but little
about IT. We conclude, therefore, that the
Wing. have lost nothing by this great mass
meeting"
