ballot box.
On Monday evening the fremont Temple was crow
ded with ardent Wings, to listen to the Hon Rufus
Choate. Many ladies present to encourage by
their smiles Mr. Choate spoke on the Texas question.
His speech was repete with argument and eloquence
and was worthy Of his distinguished reputation have
not space to give sketch of it, Ii is TO be pub
shcd, and should be in the hands Of every voter Mr.
Choate is the most pleasing, graceful and effective pub
lie speaker have ever heard, with the exception of
Sargent $. Prentss of Mississippi. Mr. Choate stated
that he had had opportunity know the manly and
patriotic course of Mr. Clay this question II was be-
ore either of the Baltimore Conventions had been held

hat letter saved the country by uniting he Wing par
in opposition to this nefarors scheme Mr. Choate
Won proud position by his speeches at the last session
Il congress on the Texas Treaty, the Tariff and the

Inc locoiocos have nominated George Bancroft as 4
ner candidate for Governor He the leader of the

gentleman was so summary elected from the win
ow at Baltimore. After Mr. Polk had received the I,
ominaton he changed 'front.' and thought Mr. Polk was
he rery best man. and foolishly boosted that he would
AIRY this State by 5000 majority. This is setting il
lther high for an Ex-Rev. ! once heard him say in a
cid than politics think he right, and whatever
equation he may establish historian he is certain "
paltry politician. He will be badly beaten and il n
nil be long time before he display his talents ON a

onor OF another heat 1t is limited that he has no OBJ
con to serve in Congress, provided his services are
