For the Journal.
In the discussion that took place last Tuesday
ming. at the Courthouse, the democratic party must
have felt a high qualification. had never heard
Col. Person address public meeting before. But
most surely, if the wings desire TO repeat these gen
tie passes of arms against champion of yester-
day. it bchoves them to select the most polished and
abcst lance in their boosted ranks to enter the lists
or defeat is inevitable. 1t is thing to tell a
few good jokes and keep assembly entertained
by pleasant repartee, and adroit turns of speech,
1t is quite another sort of thing to deliver Grafton,
the merits of which delight in logical arrange
ment and rhetorical skill.-We hesitate not to say
that Col Persons speech of this latter sort His
party would feel proud see this effort of chase,
refined manly, true eloquence, in print just as it
passed the orators lips, with line, sentence, word
or syllable added erased. 1t would present a
sample of purity and matchless gracefuness of style
only on par with the speakers urbane scrupulous-
" polite manner and bearing TO his adversaries in
! the delivery of it.
g Thereunto he could indie and maken thing
g There wight could pinch Mt his writing"
| Of this our modern Pass of arms ut Ashby de Ia
Zouche" we wish our friends, the wings, many hap
py! returns A LOCKER ON.

MIR. Webster's letter in relation to the Lobos Is
lands has excited unfavorable comments. Labored
articles published to show that these islands be-

produced that the islands were surveyed for the King

in MadriI in l74S, and in London in l772. In the

published at Madrid. 1897, the Islands were laid
