sembIage of citizens of this county were address
ed by Gen. Yell, democratic Eector, and by Jesse
Turner, Esq. whig Elecor. The discussion was
spirited and lasted some four five hours. We
found it impossible to give attention the de-
bate as we should like to have done, and only
heard the conclusion of Mr.. Turner's speech and
Gen. TeIl's remarks in response.
1t is pretty generally conceded by all persons
that Gen. Yell made an excellent speech, while
the democratic portion declare fat it was the best
ever delivered in this town. Mr. Turner, as usual,
gave great satisfaction 10 his many admirers
On the merits of these speeches, wholly
unable to give opinion not present
at their delivery.
In the afternoon. upon the call of number of
citizens, Capt. Pike addressed numerous assem-
bIage. We regret that it was not in our power to
be present, long, upon this occasion. We heard
but small portion of his speech. and that portion
by no means presented sufficient reasons to demo-
Gratis TO abandon their party principles and mea-
sures and join :. party" party, whose undis-
guised sentiments appear to be nothing less than
opposition to the democratic party. Although the
gallant Captain expressed his aversion TO party,
and invited the honest portion Of the democratic
party to join with him in support of Gen. Taylor.
we never heard himsinvite the honest wings to do
likewise. Query? Are there no honest wings
that he would like to abandon their party and join
with him in support of Gen. Taylor? Or are
they all there, any how! There's where they are.
They form the same party, only under different
names. Their principles and measures are the
same, namely: opposition to democracy.
We have noticed that there is such thing as
progressive whiggery as well progressive de-
mocracy. .Eigh: or ten years ago the Captain
could see no strong points in the character Of Gen.
Jackson, to qualify him for President; now he
has progressed and discovered that Gen. Jackson
possessed the elements of greatness. The Capt.
has progressed well as the democratic party.
The only difference, is, that he is little behind,
and is where the democratic party was twenty
years ago. In %. he nor his brethren could not
discover in the character and ability of General
Jackson, what the democrats did; and invoked
:" war, famine and pestence,'' rather than the
election of the old "NIiIitary Chieftain.''
Capt. Pike is one of the most talented men in
the State-an able lawyer, and an ingenious poll
tcian. He has many friends in this place, all of
whom were highly gratifed at bis speech and
must admit that he made most excellent
showing of a bad cause.

In 1916, the democracy on this side attempted to

the clique at Fort Smith went to work and elect
cd all the delegation from this side.
This year an equal division was made in the

our truont brethren, again, brought out two disor-
ganIsIng candidates, and the result is three
out OF four, of the delegation, on this side of

The I" democrats who assembled at the I'm

little resolution -
ReSoircd, A, the deliberate sense of this meet
ing that the barefaced falsehood set afloat by the
wings us an offset to their nomination of an en-
tensive stakeholder for President That Gen.
Cass is in favor Of tue extension of slavery, is
false upon its face and ought to be met in but
one way. that il is a tale told BY an idiot full OF
son"d and .tuyy' " signifying nothing"
If Mm is " the deliberate sense Of that meet.
ing. we are sorry for them But let Lewis Cass
tell the tale himself. A Mr.. Nicholson, Of
Nashville, Tenn, wrote to Cass in December
last, asking him whether or not he was in favor
of the WILMoT PR0vlso, which, if enacted by
Congress, would EXCLUDE SLAVERY FROM ouR
TERRITORIES, Mr.. Lewis Cass wrote back 70
Mr.. Nicholson as follows -

" BY CONGRESS OVER THIS MATTER"
Again -
" DO NOT SEE IN THE CONSTITUTION ANY GRANT OF
" THE REQUISITE OVERT To CONGRESS-
But that Gen. Cass is in favor of the Ex-
TENSION of Slavery is false upon its face,"i is it?

persuaded to read, mark, learn, and inwardly
digest the following other para Graph from Lewis
Cass's aforesaid letter TO the aforesaid Mr.

Tie question that presents itself is not a
question of the increase but of the DIFFUSION
OF Slavery. WHETHER its SPHERE BE STATIONARY
OR 1RpGRESsIvE. ITS AMOUNT WILL BE THE SAME
The rejection of this restriction will not add one
to the class of servitude, nor will its adaptation
