Glasgow weekly times. (Glasgow, Mo.) 1848-1861, 1853-07-28
Speaking at Huntsville.

Our cores pondents at Huntsville failed
to give us m account of the speaking at
that place last week; and some remarks of
our own, predicated upon a conversation
with friend, who was present, by some
oversight, were omitted in our last issue.
The Editor of the "Paris Mercury" was
present, and we copy his account. Mr..
Lindlcy spoke first and says the "Mercu-
ry:" Gle gave short history of the can
vass up to that time-of Maj. Jocksons
hooks and crooLs--anl evidently showed
that Mr.. !. lad found that Jordan had been
hard road to travel" He answered Mr..
is speech before it was seeming
to understand what kind of changes he
would undergo at each point-marked out
his inconsistencies, Illustrating his remarks
with anecdotes &c., which created no little
laughter and applause. Mr.. L. soon con-
WINGED the audience of his ability to throw
the old "i'ox" in the "shade" in argument,
satire or humor.
"When Mr.. JACKSON rose TO reply, he
seemed not TO know how or where 10 COM
menco, Lindlcy having already answered
what lie had tosay. He complained bitterly
of Mr.. Is specches---that he did not make
the same speech at any two points, evidently
showing that there was too much originality
and wit in Mr. Is speeches for linn TO keep
up with him consequently he iloundered
and Numbered awfully, and he must have
become quite feverish from the way he tooh
in the ice water--or was endeayoring to kill
time. We heard the Major speak several
years ago, and he was then quite good
humorcd speaker, but, oh, how changed!
But it is 80 wonder he looks 50 dull and
down in the mouth--lor if Mr.. Lindley has
been guilty of "hackling him down" at every
other point like at this one, he is eXcusabIc
for making such wonderful WY laces--and
TO doubt the more sympathetic portion of the
communities in which they have spoken,
would not have blamed him if he had left
for home some time before reaching this
point: in fact we almost came to the con-
clusion that Mr. l.. was a hard hearted man
for after, as we thought, he had given
good evidence that he was LANDED out, he
gave him some awful jolts under the short
ribs. FIR. l.. did not only take the old
Fox captive, but also his ''right bower, -
Gen. John 3. Clark, who was present and
| from the shape and expression Of his phiz, it
was well calculated to impress upon the uu-
dience the idea that somebody had strucl;
him, as he wore dolelul oountenance--lor
while from the effects of Mr.. LIS eloquence
and able arguments
The hair on every mans head was caused to rise,
And each bosom with patriotism made to swell
| Tears trinllIcd down from the Generals ewes.
And how bad be felt, no one could tell.
"As the strongest evidence that the Dem
Ocrats believe Lindley to be too hard for
Jackson, we never heard the first one Of
them claim a victory for Jackson over him
but would remark, that Eindley was his
equal, and a better speaker than they sup
posed he was--which we think, nothing
more nor less than equivalent 10 "acinowl-
edging the corn that LindIey was more
than match for him. Mr.. Jackson looked
and acted as through he wanted 10 get rid
of him--which he did by leaving for home
= leaving Mr.. Lindley 10 ego It alone" al
WOodYille, their next appointment.
