TIE MEETING AT ROANOKE.

We attended a political meeting at Roanoke
last Saturday, and heard speeches from Messrs.
Leonard and Owen Rawlns, and Davis and C.
F. Jackson Esqrs.
Mr. Leonard spoke first both on National and
State topics He delivered an able speech, and
was atteniiv.ly listened to by tie large assem-
bage Of persons present.
He was followed by Judge Rawlns, who
with all due respect to his feelings and abilities,
and the feelings Of his friends, we must say
made lame, very lame, effort. He is as much
out Of his element on the stump as in the Sen.
ale Chamber, and his friends should keep him of
Of the former, and the people out of the latter.
After the speeches Of Messrs. Leonard and
Rawins, the company partook Of dinner which
had been prepared by the citizens Of Prairie
Township for the occasion. The dinner was
gotten up in excellent style; far better than is
usual on such occasions. The Ladies, OF whom
there were quite number having dined first,
repaired to the stand, where they were addressed
in very humorous and happy style by Mr.
Fisk Of this place. Mr.. F. was rather loving on
the subject Of annexation.
After Dinner COL Davis took the stand and
delivered one OF the most eloquent, scahng,
biting speeches, we ever heard. He handled c.
F. Jackson "and SUITE without gloves the poor
fellows looked perfectly aghast. Jackson at
tempted a reply, but he was so out Of humor and
overwhelmed with the mastery and unanswera.
Bile manner in which Davis had exposed him ant
his party, that he fell far short OF his usual notch
Rawlins and Jackson were both INTERCEPTED
as to whether, if elected, they would vote (or
Benton. They refused TO dmS1rer!
1JsWe understand the democratic candidates
Of this county have procured the services OF one
or two Of our Congressman, TO give them lift
in the way Of speeches, between this and the
election. Mr.. Jackson had better explain his
position on the subject of the currency, and read
his currency bill to his friend Bown, before he
takes the stump for him; as he, Bowlin, said a
few days before he left St. Louis, that he knew
nothing about the currency blls-never had read
lhem-or if he had read them, he had forgotten
their provisions. Judge Bowlin seems TO have
as convenient a memory as some of his demo
cratic friends in this vicinity. During the sit.
ting Of the Legislature, he advocated those bills!
We understand Mr.. Leonard "pinned it on to-
Judge Rawlins so closely al franklin last Tues
day. as to force the Judge to say, that if Col
Benton did not repent or change his views Or
the Texas question, he would not vote for him.
Of course Col. Benton will change his position,
Notwithstanding he has said if he were satisfied
the stand he took on the Texas question was to
end his life, politically, he could not yield an
inch!
The Boonvle convention will explain all.

DPWe stated last week that one Of the
democratic candidates employed Scotch
piper TO play for the purpose of annoying
the Hon. Ratlif Boone, when he was adj
dressing his fellow citizens in the vicinity
of this place. The friends of Congreve
Jackson, considered the charge as directed
against him, although no name was men.
toned, and several of them spoke to US on
the subject of generating him, which we
readily consented to do.
There has been a great deal more noise
made on the subject than we think
was called for, which taken in connection
with some other things that were said and
done, or rather threatened to be done, led
us to inquire little more infinitely into
the matter. We have learned from respon-
sible sources that Congreve Jackson loaned
the dollar that paid the piper: but for this
we do not blame him. We learned also,
that when the piper commenced playing,
gentleman walked up to where he was,
and wished to have him stop, and was
speaking to that effect, when Congreve
Jackson remarked, in substance, he had
been paid to play, and play he should
and to use the gentleman's own language,
mot wishing to get in a fight about it, he
walked off" Mr.. Jackson did not hire the
piper to play, but he acted the part above
ascribed to him, as we are informed by
individual.
This is what we have learned TO be the
true state of the case, and we say let the
truth be told, though the heavens should
fall"

THE BooNvILLE POLK CONVENTION.

We have conversed with two or three gentle.
men who were at Boonville on Wednesday, the
first day of the great Democratic Convention Of
Ratification, Of which we have heard so much
since the nomination OF Polk and Dallas. This
Convention was gotten up for the purpose Of
eclipsng the St. Louis convention and rendering
certain for the democrats the counties OF Cooper.
Howard and Saline. In the first instance, it was
most signal failure: for there were from ten to
fifteen thousand persons at St. Louis, while the
highest estimate we have beard OF the Boonvile
gathering amounts only to three thousand, loco
count-and fifteen hundred, wing count. How
it will operate on the elections, remains 10 be
seen. We predict complete failure.
Several Of our Congressman were present
COL Benton Of the number. He made a speech
Of some three hours length. The only part OIL
his speech which was looked to with interest, was
the Texas portion Of it, A friend who attended
the Convention expressly to hear Col. Benton
on this subject, informs us his speech was the
same in substance as his speeches in the Senate
He said he was exactly right on that subject; thai
he stood on the same ground he had always oc
cupied, and that he should always occupy; thai
Texas was destined to be annexed to the Union
sooner or later-and it was not matter of mo
ment whether it was done one, two, or three
years hence. He denounced the southern imme
diate annexationiss in strong terms, and regarded
their course as reasonable to the Government
His resolutions and bill introduced into the Sen
ate were the texts from which he discoursed
| How do the immediate annexationists OF this
county feel now? Will they have the independ
ence aud manlinoss to set Up for themselves, OF
will they eat their words and succumb to Benton!
