MEssRs. EDITORS: The candidate of the /" Hindoos"
made his appearance here yesterday, and according
to promise addressed his friends and associates The
Court House appropriated unto his use, and at
o'clock, P. NJ, when the speaker came in, it was
tolerably well thronged with an audience at least
willing to hear him. But here is something singular
enough: the crowd before him at the beginning of
his speech considerably larger than was at the
end Indeed, if 1 am not greatly mistaken the gen.
teman has not left good impression in this place.
and am confident that the Democrats who heard
him great deal more firm in their opposition to
Know Nothngism now than they were before
will say that the gentleman has lost votes by COM
ing hereof that am positiVe-and if he has not
the palate to relish most unprecedented defeat in
August next, would advise him. for the gentleman's
own sake, to bid adieu to this campaign, and thus
wisely avoid the modification and chagrin which the
unterrlfed" are bound to bring upon him. [ am

Shepard's speech. but find this not only a very diff

this mean, of course, that cannot discourse upon
the genteman's arguments They were truly incon-

were not apparent unto the of any of his

inclined to favor the latter opinion and so is every

also gave Monsieur, the Pope, rap or two with MS

Shepard had no opponent in his speech here
The Democrats had an idea of placing him under the

he so completely wound himself up in his own cob

So am happy to announce to you that the good

send up memorials to some missionary society to
send among you Colporteurs to distribute
tracts and pamphlets, which may to some extent
tighten your benighted minds
You will, therefore, tell every you and
