To the Editor Of he Union:
SIR An old-fashioned democratic barbecue was
ned al ts place to-day and may safely be said that
more gratifying entertainment has not been held in
iarloru county Tor years In beautiful grove Ga short
distance IN the of the building in which now wrte)
there was spread lengthy and caacous table, which the
managers thought would be quite sufficient for the
commodauon OF those w no might think proper TO attend
This was mistake; the table was filled again and
again ana when The important business OF the day was
about 10 De commenced, there still many who had
not been supplied Col Sewe that long tried, sterling,
and niex'be republican, presided the head of the table,
ana was well sustained by friend and neighbour DR..
Bfkhead nj the loot The entertainment bountiful,
and reflected the utmost credit those who conducted
IT. AT about two O'Clock it was announced by the presi-
dent that discussion would then be had of the prom-
nen political topics of the day
The people Immediately gathered around the hustings,
and MT Sheppard, young member of the bar OF Balt-
MORE was introduced to the assembage. 1t his first
speech, ana ne acquitted himself handsomely. His bear
ing was manly, his voice clear and strong and his views
sensible and convincing The people gave him an aten
ave hearing and when he closed applauded him heartily,
friends and OF his neighbors All knew him. and all
loved him They gathered around him and listened TO
hun as to one OF the apostles of democracy He spoke of
the origin Vi pTueS. tie spoke OF the war, and he
spoke OF the war as patriot should have spoken-on
his eounfryS side Of The aody. He spoke of the tariff he
spoke of REFORM and he urged in eloquent and burning
terms his ielowcountrymen TO unite--to harmonze-o
toand to conquer His speech was excellent and the
effect triumphant
James M Buchanan, from Baltimore, was present by
invitation, and followed in lengthy argument This
speech have no means OF reporting. Those who heard
1t know what 1t was, and those who heard it will have
an opportunity of acting its doctrines Wednesday

To Me Editor of The Union /.

10 me Editor OF The Union:
Most of your numerous readers have been informed
that the Momons driven from their homes in Hi
nos that part of them have gone California part to
Oregon, ana that some OF them in the wilderness in
state OF great restitution
About twelve hundred of the poorer members of this
society," unable TO go forward made temporary residence
in Iowa, on the head of Grand river They were COM
PEELED to flee for their lives leaving behind them the
greater part OF their property, and without the
means OF obtaining food for the hungry, clothing for the
naked or medicine for the sick The agents left charge
OF the property OF the church. from which it hoped
fund to relieve their immediate wants could be obtain
ed have not been able to sell it. They are SO remote
from the frontier, that they cannot obtain employment
They compelled to stop by the way, where there is
little or no game; that they compelled to throw
themselves on the sympahies of the public to relieve
them from certain death They have therefore deputed
two OF their number, (Messrs Campbell and Dana) who
IN their appeal to the people of the United States
for relief. Mr. Dana is in this city, bringing with
HIM satisfactory testimonials OF his character and
OF the condition of his people,
May we not hope that the sympahes of the public
nevoent of both sexes, will respond to the call which he
makes These poor, destitute suffering, and prosecuted
Momons are human beings like ouI selves they have
been driven from their homes and exposed to their pres
ent dreadful condition by unlawful violence Whatever
may have been the oil quarrel between them and
their enemies it was the duty of the American people
give them the protection of our laws This has been de-
MED TO them and, should they starve in the wilderness,
twill be burning disgrace the American name.
Who does not feel proud of the contributions of food
and clothing which sent TO the poor of Ireland ??
and who that participated in that noble charity can refuse
to contribute IN aid OF the suffering Mormons
CHARITY
