We wea, 10 hosr bin. Of coarse. Ae-
cusiomod to being "lrird, roasted sud
s,ewed, We had no objections TO seeing the
same operations performed again.
From the extended notice which bad
been given, and the inducements held ont,
we expected laGe crowd from the eoun'
Try But olr expectations were disapgoio,'
ed. We have seen i1ore persons in attend
auoe from the body Of the county, on an
ordinary sale day, than were in Marshall
on the 22ud
Al ! O'Clock the rropis congregaied at
the Bap,ist church, and f the meeting was
not large, it was a, least respectable IN
character and numbers.
Aiier singing, and p,ayerby Rev, George
Tucker, Mr. Young o,easd hIs discourse.
He commeneod by saying. that be would
Grs, deliver lecture on temperance, and
after he had got through, he would wind up
with little dasienia, The last word WAS
delivered with considerable pmphasis)
Ne spoke for about an hour and half,
using many Of the illaatsaiions and repeat
ing a number Of The anecdotes contained IN
his previous effort at THE place--when be
at last Gaze to the par, which he intended
10 devote to us. He SAT- he would be- very
brief; but. somehow or other. be managed
to consume abou, ghfee quarters Of an
hours time in his comments on orr article
and upon US. OF course, we could not be
expected to giyo al he tat on the occasion
He denied having authorized de second
handb.l. giving notice OF his expected
speech, or Of writing any letters to om
citizens which warranted it, compliment
hy no means laltering to the man who
composed and Published It. tie denied
also the remarks which we attributed TO
him aud which we considered a. giving bis
mission mercenarv character II we were
mistakcn in what he said II is certainly
strange there were 90 many others who
were likewise deceived. He was under>
stood to have expressed himself in the same
language at Henderson and Jefferson which
we attributed to him here; and there are
gentlemen living in both these places, of
The hieaqs. responsibility, with whom we
have cnngcrsed, who took the same view of
his course which We did, He denied that
be was making the profit on his books
which we stated In answer to this, i; is
only necessary to refer ihc reader 10 tho
title page, and he will see that there have
been at least 5000 copies Issued. These
nj enc dollar per copy, amount to 81 900
Take FROM this the cos, OF printing and
binding, which was no, exceeding $4,000,
aud find that Mr.. Young makes a profit
on bis book Of 50 600 larger amount
than we stated, so careful were we not to
do him injustice. And II be does not get
$4,000 over an1 above tho sale OF his
books, u will not be because be is too mod
as, to ask for il, He denied also that he
had spoken in offensive terms Of Foreigners
The foreign population certainly seemed to
think very differently. We do not know Of
single individual Of this class, either here
or Ia Jefferson, that Wns not offended Mt bis
So Gar as wo have been able to
learn, he made the same remarks every
whore else tha, he did here. The Caddo
Gazette Of the atd, Gays
Nr. Youug declared on wednesday
night in bis temperance speech, that in
New Orleans, l.onissllle and Cincinnati,
nine ,en,hs Of the dorgeries we're kept by
foreigners Thou almost pcrsasdest US to
be Know Nothing.
What will the editor Think when he secs
the foregoing Aad when we take into
consideration that there arc at least ten thou
sand foreigners IN Texas, the disastrous
effects upon the temperance cause which
Mr. Noung's language is calculated to pro
duce. can be easily perceived.
Before we Published our comments on
lis speech, which he denounced so strongly,
we submitted the article to two IS respect
able gentlemen as there are in Marshall, and
while one Of them advised US not to publish
t, and tho other was doubtful as to the
propria,y of our doing so, they both admit
tod that the lanvuare which VIC attributed
