favor OF Gen. Taylor, forgetting that some OF
his party are now leaving the dark and iorbdding
shades OF Federalism and coming over into
the sunshine OF the triumphant Democracy. The
discussion Of The day was wound up by short

Lieutenant w. II. Hartman next took the
stand, and addressed the audience. He bore
his additional testimony TO the of repeated
fact, that General Taylor, though grea. sol

On Tuesday the discussion was resumed by
the Hon. Andrew Stevenson and Thomas j.
Niche, Esq. Mr.. Stevenson spoke about five
hours, and made one Of the most powerful
speeches ever delivered in Sraunton. His
speech, like mighty avalanche, swept down
and demolished all the little cobwebs and
brambles that Federal Wings have been building
up for years on which III might stand.
Mr.. Stevenson also proved most incontestihly
that Fillmore is an Abolitionist, by his recorded
votes in Congress OH the Creole case. He also
said that he served long in the House Of Repre-
sentatives with Mr. Fillmore. and knows, o. his
own personal knowledge, that Fillmore is an Abo.

We have never known the Wings of thissold
Federal county so disprited in Presidential
canvass as they are now. Defeat seems to be
written on their every countenance. The Demo.

vote. Yours, SC. AUGUSTA.
