Hon. Arson p. MoRRlLL Governor otihe STATE
wa, the drs, speaker. lie said he felt il somewhat
hard 10 be called upon to follow the distinguished
gentlemen who had so ably spoken IN the earlier
portion OF the day-men who had won imperisha.
be lsures in debate in the Congress Of the United
States, and who were capable Of winning applause
in any deiberaiive assembly In the world. On
,he questions, in regard TO which they had spoken,
they had spoken 30 fully and discussed them so
ably iha, /, would be useless for him TO advert to
the subject again. He could say nothing which
they had no, said, and u he were disposed to re-
pea, the same line Of thought and argument, he
could never hope to do 50 with anything like the
success with which they had done it, He would
therefore pass from these questions, and advert
for few moments 10 matters In which the citizens
ofMane were.more Immediately interested. The
people had great contest before them Our
opponents" said he have ranged themselves in
new positions, and have assumed different aiti-
tude They have hOisied new cO,Ors, and are
ready TO give US o".'e IN 'ne cause OF temperance
in different form from which they have ever APP
peared in, and propose therefore TO call attention
