PUBLIC SPEAkING

VI.
| Mr.. Wootton, the Wing candidate for Con-
| gress, pursuant to appointment, addressed the
people of Campbell, ut the Court House Mon
day In an able and argumentative speech of an
hour and half. Most of the questions at issue
between the two parties were clearly and Iopi-
cally discussed, and the views of the sneaker
were received with much attention and favor
The reception of Mr.. Wootton by the Who's
OF Campbell, aud indeed, we may add, by both
parties, was highly flatteriug. His manner and
address, his courteousness of alusion to an alb
sent opponent, his frankness, his Accomplished
aud gentlemany bearing could not do otherwise
than to render his intercourse with our people of
the most pleasing character. We assure his
friends in the other counties he has won golden
opinions here, and will get the full Wing vote of
Campbell.
After Mr.. Wooeton had concluded, Francis B.
b. Deane, Jr., one Of the Wing candidates for
the county, made short and appropriate adj
dress, in which he expla; ned the position he oc-
cupied, as candidate fol the Legislature. l.
was only left him, in political matters to adopt
all that had been to ably said by Mr.. Wootton.
and to embrace the occasion to sav. that tho
tenets and principles of the Waie marty bad
been his chart and rule of actin in noliics
through life. aud should SO continue.
Whist it was not to be expected ttet Mr.
Deaue should go as fully into the subject If in.
t6rnal improvement at THIS Time, US ne would m
more appropriate occasions, yet it is fact tint
he never touches the subject without giving his
hearers an insight into the superior knowledge
which he has obtained, from the most aborious
and careful examination of every thing pertain~
ing to that expressing subject. None who heard
Mr.. Deane, through his remarks we're brief will
fail properly to estimate his services and appre-
ciate the abors which he is capable of per-
forming not for the constituency only which shall
confle the important trust of representation to
his hands, but for the State and country at large.

burn the town. The citizens again tut ned out.
fully armed aud met them at the bridge across
Lewes Creek, where skirmish ensued, and the
fishermen were driven back with several broken
heads. Ia the meantime, several citizens pro

sued the fishermen until they embarked on board
their vessels and set sail. 1t is said they have

The DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND OUR SECOND
WAR WITH GREAT BRITAIN.-Durine the first &C.
cupation of Paris by the allies in 1914, Lord We'll
ington wrote many important letters to the Home
government part of one of which, addressed to Lord
Liverpool, refers to the proposal then made to send
him to America:
81 have already told you and Lord Bathurst that
l feel no objection to going to America, though
don't promise to myself much success there i be-
ieve there are troops enough there for the defence
OF Canada forever, and even for the accomplish.
ment OF any reasonable offensive plan that could
be formed from the Canadian frontier am quite
sure that all the American armies OF which have
ever reac would not beat out of field of battle the
troops that went from Bordeaux last summer, if
common precautions and care were taken of them
"Ihat which appears to me to be wanting in
America Is not a general, general officers and
troops, but naval superiority on the lakes; till
that superiority is acquired it is impossible, &C.
cordlng to my notion, to maintain an army in
such situation as to keep an enemy out of the
whole frontier, much less to make any conquest
from the enemy, which, with those superior means,
might, with reasonable hopes of success, be
dertaken. may be wrong in this opinion, but
think the whole history of the war proves its truth;
| and suspect that you will find that Provost will
justify his misfortunes (Which, by-the-by, am
quite certain'ar not what the Americans have re-
presented them to beg by stating that the navy
were defeated; and, even if he had taken Fort
Moreau, he must have retired.
"The question is, whether we can obtain this
naval superiority on the lakes If we cannot, !

defence and to sign peace which might as we'll
be signed now There will always, however, re-
main this advantage, that the confidence which
have acquired will reconcile both the army and
people in England to terms OF which they would
not now approve.
"In regard to your present negotiations. con-
TESS hat1 think you have no right from the state
of the war, to demand any concession of territory
from AMERICA. Considering every thing, it is my
opinion that the war has been most successful
one, and highly honorable to the British arms but,
from particular circumstances, such as the want

Notwithstanding your military success and now
undoubted military superiority, and have not even
cleared your own territory OF the enemy on the
equality in negotiation, claim oession Of terri.

which you have in your power" f E4lt
