Public Speaking.

1Uks loFs "a Hk III
Congress. pursuant to appointment, addressed
the people of Campbell, at The Court House
Monday in an able and argumentative speech
of an hour and a nall. Most ofthe questions
at issue betweed the two parties were clearly
and logically discussed. and the views OF
the speaker were received with much at.
ten,ion and favor. The reception Of Mr..
Wootton by the Wings OF Campbell, end,
indeed. we may add by both parties. Yves
highly hatlering. His manner and address,
bis courreousness of %allusion to an absent
opponent, his frankness. his accomplish
ed and gentlemanly bearing could not do other.
wise than render his intercourse with our peo-
pie Of the most pleasing character. We as.
sure his friends in the other counties he has
won golden opinions here and will get the full
whig vote Of Campbell.
After Mr.. Woolion had concluded FRANcis
i. DrANr Jr., one of the Wing candidates
for the county, made a short and appro
pirate address, in which he explained the
position he occupied, as a candidate for the
Legislature. 1t was only left him, in political
matters 10 adopt all that had been so ably
said by Mn. WoorroN.and to embrace the oc
caslon 10 say, that the tcnets and p%rincipl, 3
of the wing party had been his chart and rule
Of action in politics through life, and should so
continue.
Whilst 1t was not 10 be expected that Mr..
Deane should go as fully into The subject of IN
ternal Improvement Mt this time, "a he would
on more appropriate occasions, yet it is a fact
that he never touches the subject without
giving his hearers an insight into the superior
knowledge which he has obtained, from the
most laborious and careful examination of ey.
ry thing pertaining TO that engrossing subject.
Meme who heard Mr.D eane.lhough his remarks
were brief will fail properly to estimate his
services,and appreciate the labors which he
Is capable OF performing, not for the constitu.
ency only which shall conlide the important
trust of representation 10 his hands. but for the
State and country at large.
CHARLES II. MooRMAN announced himself
a candidate also for the Legislature. He was
u democrat it was true but he was not, he said,
ultra IN his notions. He appealed to the grey
headed men who had Supported his father,
years ago. for the same office, and also to their
descendants to come forward and hoaor hum
MIR. Moorman says he is not ultra in his poIiti-
cal afiinilies. If there is a more violent. en-.
Uttered and bigo,ed p%ariizan. in the county,
he 's unknown to US. and we imagine the us
%sertion, when wing votes are wanting, that he
is not ultra, will prove unavailing.
AnNER ANTHONY, in. of I.eesville. also an
nounced himself a candidate, no, on the stand,
but in conversation with the people. He took
occasion to remark, in that way, that there wa.
no ~faltering in his devotion to the Democrat,
faith, and the Inference may be drawn that tn,
two candidates on tho democratic ticket difeI
slightly in that particular.
The wings of Campbell have the issue now
fairly before them. There is a full democratic
ticket out, and we trust a consciousness of Sill
perior strength will not preventone from being
atthe polls. The county election demands it
and fealty to their duty and princi Piles and tn,
success Of their talented young leader in tn
congressional contest require united aud de
termined efforts at their hands.
