~ do our vicious elements belongY To the Pha-
lanxers. Every Sydney duck, every pententary
outcast, most assuredly vote the Phalanx ticket
[Laughter.l This fact is ndisputable. Three tire
meadous cheers were here given for the American
platform. The speaker in eloquent language adj
vocated the necessity of sustaining the purity OF
the ballot box ;--if that becomes deranged, the
car of State is ut at once thr wn off the track-if
that becomes corrupt, the body polite itself is
chang, to a loathing carcase.
The Importance of guarding faithfully and pre-
serving in unsullied purity our glorious constitu-
ton, was next euj oined Foreigners entertaining
opinions ct variance with ours, would alter this in
sErument If they could, and what sort Of consti-
tuition, exclaimed the speaker do you think they
would give us? Americans do not wish to deprive
foreign citizens of their just rights freemen, but
they do believe in the extension OF the naturaliza-
tlo,l laws The speaker In this connexion cited
an effective illustration. He aptly said, that the
Am rican in his own country was compelled TO wait
for twenty-one years before being allowed to vote,
that the foreigner should certainly remain here an
equal length Of time before he was entitled to the
elective franchise. The distinguished speaker
gave garng and independent erposc of the frauds
perpetrated the late election In San Fran cisco
In two wards the Americans were cheated out OF
800 votes. Two lies and five collars it cost some
times for them to gain single point. A Phalanxer
was set down as having disgraced his party if he
difnt vote at least three times at single election.
He, the speaker, had endeayored to prosecute
these rascals, but what could be effected with
Phalanx sheriff and Phalanx jury. [Sensation.l
Such men as Billy Mugan, Ned MCGOWAN and
Jim Casey, the speaker insisted could accomplish
more in etfecting their purposes than the King on
his throne. But said the speaker in conclusion the
days of the Phalanxers are over. They have got an
enemy to contend against now who is all powerful.
Sam will hit them such lick that the people
will never know where to find them afterwards.
The speaker concluded by marshalng on to the
rostrum four-mile horse, ofpure Kentucky blood,
and one that could hold out rs long as the specta-
tors would listen to him. Whereupon, Mr. Pey-
ton retired in the midst ofsix hearty cheers in re-
turn for his splendid effort.
But the enthusiasm of the crowd was waxing
warmer every moment, and manifested itself by
prolonged shouts for Marshall. Finally stalkcd
forth the tall son of "0ld Kentucky" from the sa-
loon of the Orleans, deliberately assembled the ros-
trum, stroking placidly his flowing beard, and
maintaining that perfect equanimity which even
the yells of the excited multitude failed in the
remotest degree to disturb.
To give even synopsis Of Mr.. MarsnalTs speech
is next to impossible. There is something SO ire
distiby fascinating in his entire manner the tones
of his voice, the expression of his countenance,
and above all, in the elegance of his dcton, wheth
e ndulging in the loftest flights of eloquence,
recounting an amusing illustration, that to tran
scribe his remarks as they fall from his lips, were
as difficult as to accurately surmise in which direc
ton he is about to let fly the brilliant scintatons
of his genius.
After the full, able, and conclusive discussion
which the doctrines of the Order has received, it
would DO unnecessary for me, said Mr.. Marshall,
even II the hour permitted to address you further
The gallant "Ned" had scarcely uttered even these
few words before the crowd manifested evident
signs Of dissatisfaction and disappointment. Cries
of "Go on, old boy" fire away, "we'll stay here
all night" and such like expressions, convinced
the orator that "Sam" was bound to make night
of it, and he accordingly said So and furthermore
remarked that if what the Phalanxers said was
true they ought at that still midnight hour to be
at their orgies
He, the speaker understood that there were no
Know-Nothings left in Sacramento-that certain
ex-leader of the Phalanxers had joined the order
for the purpose Of getting an Office but failing in
this had suddenly left, taking with him oil who had
ever been connected with it. But Casting his eye
deliberately around) he continued, from the ap.
pearance of the crowd which surrounds me- it is
evident thar few Of them can be seen without the
assistance Of spectacles
The speaker then announced that there was
to be camp meeting held in this city in few days
Of the old line" Democracy, which was TO be a
proracted meeting, and il the revival feeling con-
timed so long, he Uhe speaker) thought he would
be "around," and say something, provided that
they didn't kill each other all off with the aid Of
bowie knives and pistols, through force Of habit
immense cheering
The speaker next alluded in the most facetious
manner possible, to the amalgamaton of the boilers
and bogusites. he wanted to see what sort Of
ticket they we're going 70 concoct he wanted to
know who was TO be at the head and who at the
tail OF 1t; he wanted 10 see what monstrous birth
would be the issue Of these nuptials. Laughter
and cheers.
The speaker believed that the boilers didn't care
about lighting over again such battle as they
fought last year, battle which had been contested
well and VIGOROUSLY But this union Of the hos
tile factions was inexplicable. Why Mr. Washing
ton he believed had burned the files OF the Times
and Transcript Of last year, in which he had in
dulged in such bitter invectve against the bogus
ties, with whom he now 80 closely affiliated. The
boilers had really abandoned the merits of victory
70 be victimized by the REQUISITES. Yes, Wash.
ington and Broderick even fraternized [Cheers and
cries Of give 1t TO em, Ned, hit em again-they
haint got no friends in this crowd The speaker
continued-the Democratic party in this State has
always been fighting for spoils-every body sees
that, and every body sees that John Bigler is to
run third time for Governor, although nobody
believes he has ever yet been elected-they were
trying to choke him down although the process Of
degutiiion had not commenced oh, yes, John
Bigler 10 strong man. On the heels Of the last
session he sent in thirteen vetoes, when they
should have been distributed among the rascally
measures Of the last four years. Terrific applause
which lasted for some minutes
Yes, and two or three came along afier the Lee
gislature adjourned. The Governor is the best
abused man in the State, and he abuses the Legis-
hture because he believes they deserved II, and
they abused him for the same reason, and the poo.
pie abused both for the same reason too. The
Governor Is popular man now. In illustration
the speaker said that up in Marysville, where he
resided, he witnessed public reception Of his EI-
celency few days ago. Tho Governor was met
at the wharf his arrival by tico individuals one
Dutchman and the other an Irshman. He walk
I'd up from the boat arm in arm with the Dutch.
man, and tie speaker on observing them, was
forcibly impressed with the idea, that "when
Deitch meets Deitch then comes the lager bier"
THE shouting and huzzaing at this sally of wit
was tremendous, and it really seemed as II the
countenances would never relax.
The speaker next paid his passing salutations to
the State Journal and Times and Transcript, and
paid them compliment 10 this effect, that if there
was any abusive language TO be found more abusive
