Mr.. Geo., Savage then took the stand. He
went on in his usual style Of sympathy for the

makers. Near the close of his address, one
remark, 81 shall not forget to the end of my

in Washington city, on the Goth of May, all
manufacturers are invited to bring specimen

ard-makers to bring specimens of their work

Mr.. Cammack then took the stand, and ad-
dressed the multitude for one hour. His argu-
ment was truth, and went deep into the minds
of the attendants. Much good will be the re-
suit of his labor

own condition, that brought it to my recollec-
ton, Qor was an eye witness to the same

05- We see it stated, in some of the Balu-
more papers, that Mr.. George G. Ashcom,
who was shot by young Thomas last week,
had since died. This may be so; but, we
think it improbable, as member of his family
was in our office just before yesterdays Foun-

been improving up to the hour when ne left

Sunday night. If, however, it should be rue,
that he is dead, we sincerely condole with his
family, especially his amiable sister, Mrs. Mar
garet G. Beal, who has resided with him for
many years. And it is also to be lamented,
that, Qet who will bear the blame,) he should
die by the hand of a neighbor's son. Verify,
the way men choose to settle their disputes,
