wv WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY MORNING. JULY Z 1853.
LANCASTER. June 20, 1863.

Mr.. GREEN: Last Monday, the 9Th in
slant, was the time set apart for Messrs.
L,NpLEY and JACKSON 10 address the citi-
gems of this county, at this place; which
day the democracy looked for with anxious
expectations, as they regarded it as a day
that would be long remembered, and would
be handed down TO future generations as the
one on which whiggery and its "stripling
leader,"as they were pleased to denominate
him, would be entirely demolished. Ac-
cordingly when the day arrived, the old ST.
mon-pure, from all parts of the county, and
even some from Putnam and Iowa, came en-
masse to see the sight; but ii araS no go
According 10 their arrangements the candi-
dates appeared-JAcKsoN, backed by Mr..
GILsTRAP, TO assist and discover if any
thing was invisible to take peep behind the
curtain for him, and 10 be q witness if
needed. Mr.. Lindley relying upon the JUS
tioe of his cause, and his own strength and
ability, mounted the rostrum apparently con-
scious of the victory which was awaiting
him, and commenced by considering the is
sues that had been the theme and substance
of the speeches of Mr.. Jackson at their
previous meetings, TO wit: the resolutions
of '98, Banking Law, United States Bank,
Tariff, &c., and handled the Fox without
gloves, showing that the greater part of
these were no longer the issues between the
parties but were merely logged in by him
Tor the purpose of evading the main issues
between the parties as they now stand, the
Fox being fearful of public sentiment in
these days of railroads. He concluded his
speech by showing the Inconsistency of the
democracy upon the subject of Internal I'm
provements-how their platform meant erers
thing and nothing.
Mr.. jackson then took the stand; and q
few Of the old Simon-pure gathered round
him, with their ears pricked up, their hair
standing erect, supposing that the time had
come but they soon discovered that hi:
speech had been ably and successfully an.
swered before it was made, and this feeling
becoming known to him, he soon left hi:
tfavorite old Topic and took up the ramou:
Jackson Resolutions. and debated the merit:
of. them at some length; and lastly, appealed
to the good old Jackson Democrats for sup
port, as he said he was a Democrat now
and was of long standing in that school. H,
labored hard in his appeal to draw all Lind
lcy's democratic friends away from him, b,
exciting party prejudices against him Blu
he could not come II.
After Mr.. Jackson was through, Mr.
Lind!ey arose TO answer that part of hi
speech which referred 10 the Jackson Reso
buttons, entirely disclaiming any intention t
: debate the merits of said resolutions, excep
when forced upon him, as has been done to
day.
After the speaking the crowd dispersed
many Democrats saying that Lindley wa
the man; and the remainder feeling so bad
ly used up that they went home withot
giving expression 10 their sad feelings.
they keep in the mind they were on Ac
evening, venture they will not mentio
Claib's name again between now and tn
!. first Monday in September.
Nothing more at present. We promis
much for Lindley. Yours, &c.,
Il A CITIZEN.
