Immense Rally at the Court HOuss-COl Picket in
the field

The friends of James NJ. Davidson, Esq, the
- Irish Orator" having refused to divide time
at his appointment on Broad street, it was an
nounced by handbills yesterday that Col. 10
G.. PICKETT of Smith would speak at the
Court House. Notwithstanding the notice
was not general, one of the largest crowds we
have ever see assembled in the Court House
yard, either by day or night, assembled to
hear him.
Col. Pickett made one Of the most effective
and telling speeches we have heard in the can,
vass. He exposed the humbugge'y OF TIE
bogus democracy of the Andrew johnson
school, and showed that the followers of that
mans fortunes had departed had departer'
from the true faith of Jefferson, Madison and
Jackson. lie defended the American party
from the groundless aspersions Of its oppo
nents-exhibited the absurdity of the extrav-
sgant and urjustifable charges which had
been made 10y the speakers of the antl-Am
lean party, from Elk Gov. A. V. Brown down
to Andrew johnson.
We cannot attempt even to enumerate the
many telling points made by Col. P. in this
short notice. We wi say, however, that they
were all made in the most pointed and telling
manner, and in the most eloquent language.
Last night was a glorious occasion for the
American party, and another staggering blow
to its opponents.
The good work progresses happily. As the
hour of battle draws near, our forces are con
centratiDg and preparing for the charge. A
few more rounds and the glad shout of victory
will thrill every American heart.
