We were permitted to hear Mcssrs
Holman and Cumback at Laurel last
Friday night. Judge Holman led of
in pretty speech of some hour and
twenty minutes. He is man of mind
and OF moral worth, and we shall feel,
If he is elected, that the district has
gained in exchanging Lane for Holman.
But his speech was by no means such
rs we have heard from him. The
truth is, he is embarrassed by his posi-
ton. He is at heart opposed to the
extension Of slavery aud the plea Of
Of squatter sovereignty does not salts
fly him, in defending the Nebraska
Bill. We have heard him make
splendid speeches when his heart was
in the cause. He now moves and
speaks as ifhe was doing it ut the com.
mand of another and not OF his own
good will. and we beg the community
not to estimate Judge Holman by what
they now see and hear.
Mr.. Cumback's speech was good
He fully met-nay more than met the
expectations of his friends. His ex'
position of the fraud practiced upon
freemen by the repeal of the Missous
Compromise line was plain and pointed
1t was well received by the audienc,
and we doubt not they will respond a
heartily next October as they did Of
that occasion.

Ed. AMERICAN: The PiasJurg Posi-
in commrntingupon the efforts Of those
who are opposed to the Nebraska
outrage" says that Nebraska is no
longer name to conjure by. The
truth is now known, and the humbug
is exploded"-I agree with the Post
that such is the fact. Iowa has spo-
ken in tones that cannot be misunder-
stood that she kncws what the truth is,
and she has blown "the Humbug" so
high that its defenders will never see
itagaip. 1t was a fearful explosion to
those who voted for that bill. Many
other States are waiting with intense
anxiety, to follow the example Of our
young Democratic sister. Surely, the
Humbug has exploded, and killed
those who had the audacity to support
and defend that bill Of iniquity. The
people will not submit to such gross
and fragrant outrage of public trust,
but will unite without distinction of
party and that the perpetrator shall
beblown beyond the limits ofpolitical at
traction. No wonder that there is a
fearful looking for judgment and pun
ishment, by those who concoclcd and
voted for that bill which may open the
gate to the extension Of one of the
worst evils ofour country. But their
days are numbered, and all that is
left for them to do. is to repent and
submit TO their fate with as good a
grace as possible.
1t appears as though Ministers OF
the Gospel have not as much right To
express their opinions on the political
topics that now agltale the country,
as ordinary men. Ministers are but
men, subject to the same passions and
laws as the balance of mankind, and
if bad laws are made they have to
suffer with the rest of community
Consequently, | think that they have
the right, and it is their sacred duty to
enter their solemn protest against po-
litical as well as religious transgrcss-
sion. And when. | hear man
speak with contempt OF Ministers for
daring to do right, l come to the con-
clusion that he.is fearful that his par.
ty is in the minority and that he would
do anything, to secure his political
ends. I understand that the man that
made hat expose. to a candidate and
the lawyer, wishes to remove to the

RI -
This gentleman takes it hard that
we published last week that he was
drunk when leading the torchligbt
procession. He even loses his usual
equanimity and openly proclaims US a
liar. We are not much surprised at
this, for that is the strongest argument
that party hasa this time. Yet some
apology is due Mr.. M'cleery. for de-
scending to that argument. No doubt
he thinks he was not drunk He even
denies being a drunkard. Men who
make the standard of drunkenness SO
lew that no man is drunk until he lies
upon the ground, feeling up for the
grass, or attempts to light a pipe ut a
pump spout, would deny his being
drunk. We deem this explanation
due to Mr.. NJ Cleery. for in any other
light he would appear supremely ridi-
culous 10 attempting to deny so palpa-
bic fact; and like the charge of j. L.
Robinson, it would rebound upon him
self, and do the most injury in the op-
posiie direction from that intended
wehope therefore our friends viii make
this apology for him and his endor-
sers when they deny that fact, and at
tribute our difference Of opinion on
the subject, to the difference of stand
ards.
We think we deserve great credl
for our iorbearance with Mr.. NJ Celery,
in not having more plainly and moro
frequently spoken of his faults. The
truth Is we have not thought il posi-
bic for him to be elected, and we have
wished to hedge up his way in private
life as little as possible. We cannot
think that the sober and virtuous men
of this county will. for the sake Of
party. be willing to be represented by
him. JUDGED we know men who are
greater drunkards il possible, who say
they want sober representative
Should he be defeated, we will claim but
little credit for it. for we have given but
little publicity to his habits. They
were known and read of oil men be-
fore his nomination. and he was nomi-
mated only because it was believed that
a majority of the voters of this county
arc Of the snmc stamp.
In addition to his own denial, he
has present ed for publication the GER
tiicate Of twelve men To the same
purport. We think he could as easy
have procured fifty, that would testify
that he never was drunk at all. The
men who signed that certificate do not
intend to misrepresent the facts; they
only mean to say that According 20
their standard Of drunkenness. Mr.
M'Cleery was not drunk. Well. we ara
willingtheyshould enjoy their opinion
of when man is drunk, and VIC will
do the same. The names appended
to thu certificates, are Jos. r. Clark

tx IL is evident the popularity now
enjoyed by the Know Nothings. is
rather on account Of their destructive.
