SPEECH OF LUTHER r. MARSH.
This was followed by a speech from LUTHER r
MARSH of this City. Unfortunately for the many
thousands who were enough to hear this speech.
there were many other thousands outside the charmed
circle who could not hear themselves, and would NOT
let Others enjoy that pleasure except TO very limited
extent. Mr.. MARSH spoke as follows:
