has been brought into service as fourth Of July
orAtion, a Masonic or Odd Fellows Address. and
in various other characters, being always made
appropriate by changing ''our glorious order' tc

survives us, the citizens will have the pleasures
listening to that eloquent speech as afuneral or

THE DIS CUSSION OF THE AMERICAN
QUESTION--MESSRS.A.M. M. HARLOW
AND E. M. YERGER.

The court house was crowded on Monday
last, with ladies' and gentlemen, to listen to the
discussion Of the great question of the day. Mr..
Yerger representing the American party Mr..
Harlow the opposition. We have not space e.
nough to comment at length upon the points oi
the different arguments adduced. We are well
assured that the parties were more than satisfied
with the able and convincing argument Of their
champion.
Mr.. Harlow opened with neat address in
which he fully established the fact that this Is a
great Country, and that Charles Carrall of Ger
rolton was Roman Catholic. The Real points
at issue were not discussed by him---and take
his speech all in al, it was much better suited
for 4th of July celebration, than political
debate. He was selected as the banner bearer
of the opposition, on that occasion. but the EN-.
blem of his party received no mercy at the
hands Of Mr. Yerger:--It fell tattered, torn ant
trailing in the dust
With regard to the speech of Mr.. Yerger, we
believe tits q universal opinion that in poin
Of argument. and heartstirring appeal it could no
be surpassed. He fully sustained the reputa
ton Of his family for ability and eloquence. il
word, he is a powerful advocate of the Amer
lean party We are assured that the party il
greatly indebted to himfor his noble and sue
cessful efforts in its behalf. His manner, strik
| ing and emphatic, was admirably suited to tn
occasion. Although the discussion continue
until avery late hour Of the night all parties lis
tened with profound attention to Mr.. Yerger
and when he retired from the stand, they be
slowed upon him their just an enthusiastic ap
plause.
i We are crpditbly informed that six new mem
bers were added to the American party the da
after the discussion and that similar results hav
followed all the efforts of Mr.. Yerger in thi
county, Ed. BAN.
