gracing by their presence scene--which made
every American heart swell with pride The
stand was occupied by Mn CHAPMAN, whose
fame as an able debster had proceeded him
and assure his effort onthis occasion added to
the laurels which he has already won in this
exciting canvass. He fully reviewed the ques-
tons now before the people and every way /,
triumphanty vindicated the principles Of the
American party. The gentleman spoke for
two hours to . deeply interested audience, and
when he closed the shout of enthusialn told
plainly the effect 1t produced Dinner was then
announced, and an excellent one it was too,
which under the proper management of our
committee Of arrangements, to whom too much
praise cannot be given, passed off pleasantly
after which the people were entertained by that
gallant and true American A. M. WEsT, OF
Holmes-thuse who have had the pleasure OF
hearing him know thar he is one of the best
speakers in the State and that during the pres
ent canvass he has won high character for his
noble defence Of American principles, Mr.,
WEST handled the antics without gloves, and his
speech on this occasion was one of the very
best we have heard OF the subject, he Is endear-
ed to the hearts of the Americans Of Yazoo.
Mr.. WEsr, occupied the evening, at an early
hour Of the second day, the roads IN every direc.

of glorious enthusiasm. A large canvass hac
been raised which entirely protected the audi

yesterday from thessrain--a fine brass bands dis
coursed most excellent muse E. NJ YRRGER

with speech replete with power and fore ans
eloquence, but the people OF Yazoo have q
often heard Mr.. Yerger, that We will not dwell
upon his speech, is colleague in the canvass

being unable to attend on account of profession
al engagements. This was a source Of reCre
to all, Holmes has fought nobly and eallantl,
and nc. man during the canvass has done more
made more sacrifices than Ne has for the caus
in our County. His success is certain, tn
