Mr. HoliowaY's Speech.
We find in the Indianapolis Republican. the
following brief repor. of the speech delivered
by D. p Holloway Representative elect to
Congress from this District. at the Republican
Convention Connersville Times.
Mr.. Holloway being called for. addressed
the meeting in his own forcble and impress
sive manner. He congratulated himself and
the thousands before him on the favorable au-
spices under which they had met. and the
spirit of harmony and Cancellation which had
characterized their deliberations.
/ He spoke of the success witch had already
crowned our efforts, and the bright prospects
which opened before US.
+ He regarded the Republican party as now
an organized and inoineiLle party He spoke
of slavery, and said that the time had fully
come when the aggressive movements of the
South must be checked and checked forever.
The indi guaton of the North had been Justly
aroused, and while there was no disposition to
interfere with slavery whore il now existed.
there was a strong determination that 1t should
not go where il did not exist.
He called attention to the Temperance law,
and the happy results that were visible to the
most careless observer in every portion of the
Safe. The people were more than pleased
with the law, and would sustain it a. all haz
ards. To strike down the law. and reopen
the bitter fountain Of intemperance afresh.
would create a storm about the of the
Supreme Court, such as it had never dream

its restoration and the redemption of our
Sac from that terrible curse
On this topic he made some happy remarks.
and was heartily responded 10 by the people.
He thought the banners of old Hneisnl might

proud inscription: Freedom, Purity. and
Temperance"
He spoke Of Sam in the most hsttering
terms and thought if he was dead. he had left
numerous progeny behind him. He spoke
of political Romanism as dangerous element,
and antagonistic to the genius and spirit of
Repubicanism A sense of the danger had
struck the great heart of this nation, and hence
the mysterious appearance of Sam and the
majesty with which he had moved among the
people.
He had no desire 10 interfere with the re-
ligion of the Catholic worship-he stood
pledged to protect and defended them in their
rights. but there was a political influence, a
sectional power connected with that Church.
and had been from time immemoral, which
mus. be met and stoutly resisted by every
brave American.
His remarks on this topic were forcible and
just, and Were highly appreciated and strong
IL responded 10 by the immense multitude.
We close our report of this very excellent
and woll-timed speech by frankly confessing
our inability to do justice to it. We were SO
much exhausted BY the labors which preced-
ed to take extensive notes at the time. He
closed his speech by saying that he had often
