CHEROKEE, August 22nd. 1855.

The people Of our usually quiet town,
were yesterday surprised by the arrival of
body of Phalanxers, among whom were
three of the Democratic candidates for
Assembly from this county. A meeting
was Immediately called to take place in
Turney's New Hall, in the evening, to ex-
plain the principles of the Democratic
party. At the appointed time and place
there were goodly number assembled,
Sam being well represented, Mr.. A. Davis,
who by the way one year ago prided him
self on being CONSISTENT Wing, and who
now endorses John Bigler, was called to
the chair.
The ball was set in mo ion by Mr.. G. A.
Young of Washington who commenced by
saying, that he knew nothing about the
principles Of this secret order known as the
American Party. He then proceeded to
rake the American platform article by ar
ticle, each, and every one of which he en-
dorsed with the exception of one relating
to Catholicism, and which l do not recollect
ever to have heard Of before, consequently
| think it must have emanated from the
gentleman's own prolific brain. The whole
speech which lasted about an hour and
half, was nothing but TRADE against
Know Nothings and the old Whig party.
Must it not have been pleasant to the hon
orable Chairman to hear his old party lea
der Henry Clay villifed and abused in the
manner that he was Mr. Hill, Esq, of
Rough and Ready next took the stand and
made speech whose only merit was its
brevity. He continued in pretty much
the same strain as his predecessor, charac-
terizing the Know Nothings as a set of
Mugginses &c. Manly Eames, ESQ. of this
place followed with some remarks which
although few in number, owing to the man.
ner ofdelivery consumed considerable time.
At the close OF Mr. Eames remarks, Mr..
II. Woodruff of Little York, who was pres
ent was called for, but failed to appear
Joseph kutts Of this place then mounted
the rostrum, and delivered himself of a
most grandiloquent speech in which he de-
veloped matters in history concerning the
persecution Of Catholics, by Protestants,
in Maryland which hitherto have entirely
escaped the notice Of any historian. Mr..
Kutts closed his remarks with denun-
cia.ory assertions against tie American
party. Thos. Williams Esq then followed
with few rema ks which although brief
were to the point. He, claiming to be a
full blooded Irishr an and on being politely
requested to 4" dry up !" stated that g Be
Jasus he could make better spaach than
any of them. " Mr.. Williams was followed
by DR. Randall of this place, who soon ex-
hausted his vocabulary, and was compelled
to close, when the great bamboo meeting
adjourned " sine die" After listening TO
all the arguments advanced by the learned
gentleman above mentioned, the boys have
been compelled to come to the conclusion
that the principle Of the Democratic party
consist only ofoppositon to the American
party. There were not ten Americans
present who were not Sans.

Mr.. Forrest.

The New York Tribune has the following
just though severe criticism upon Mr.. Forests
performance Of the great part of Richelieu:
Having heard that this character was deemed
by MIR. Forests admirers as perhaps his chef de,t-
gre we went with no small interest to view the per-
formance, and came away with the burning convic-
ton that, in IDEAL in elocution and in action, Mr.
Forests personation was not only false, but fouly
40. 1t is said that our highest ntellects have but
one conception and that runs through every work
With lower intelccts we presume, 1t is equally the
same. The same athletic coarseness and vulgar
passion which had desecrated, on the night before
the beautiful image of the gentle, thoughtful Dane
protruded again from beneath the gown of Richie
lieu" Mr.. Forrest labored hard to look the Car
dinal. There was the red cap, the simulated cough
and the would-be infrmity of age. But the red
cap had a carnival glare, the cough was the old
Forrest rattle and the in6rnrity of age q farce
The harsh voice and coarse-knit frame refused to
own the stimulation. In the first act, instead of
rebuking De Mauprats' extravaganza with the
dignity of the imperous minister, Mr. Forrest turns
upon him with the fury of some ruffian master who
had caught his servant in theft.
Again. in the third act, when by the stratagem
of feigning death he saves his life, Mr.. Forrest
looks as in the throes of strangulation, and loses
the best opportunity afforded by the play to bring
out the crafty genius of the Jesuit In the fourth
act, when, reappearing among his bafiied enemies,
rioting in the news OF his imaginary death, his
countenance should have worn look Of proud
majesty, blended with contempt for all around him,
Dir. Forrest looks precisely as Van Amburgh after
successful coquetry with some angry leopard; and
when, in its splendid close, deserted by all his
minons, he inyokes the terrible power of the
Church, the great tragedian looked like Sig.
Blitz or some such juggler, elevating himself on
the top Of his toe with wondrous consciousness
Of the effect some fearful conjury was about to
work. In so far as Mr.. Forrest has descended
from the airy region of calm, lofty thought in
which Hamlet dwells, and comes nearer to this
dull, coarse earth, in so far is he less offensive
But his action and his intellect fit him for still
lower sphere, and in justice to his nature and the
beautiful creations which his misdirecton of il
mars, we must still call out: Away 60, get thee
