AT Lebanon, Mr. Dandsoa met

He met and demolished Ar. David

Pierce never had made a speech or

eloquent beyond description! He

that Mr. Ewing defeated Mr.. D avid
son most signally upon one Of the
most important issues involved in
this canvass; that is, that the demo

Pierce al its head, was the only party
there that was friendly to the South

wholly neglected and refused to no
