EDITOR JOURNAL The largest and
most enthusiastic meeting ever before
convened in this county hasjust adjourn
ed. Over one thousand of the "bone
and sinew" of the country were in at
tendance. Speeches were delivered by
Gov. Foote, A. B. Dibble, Esq, A. A.
Sargent and I. B. Mcfarland.
For two hours and a half G ov. Foote
occupied the stand in defense of our
glorious standard bearer, Millard Fill
more. He handled the administration
of Franklin Pierce without gloves, and
exposed in an eloquent and mastery
mannerits short comings and corruptions,
its violated pledges, broken promises and
anti Republican tendencies. With with
ering sarcasm and cutting irony he por-
trayed the present position of poor "ten
cent Jimmy Buchanan" and the party
who now support him rthe Presidency.
Never since our country has had page
in history did any man receive such a
castigation from a stump orator as did
poor "Dimocratic Jecms Buchanan" at
the hands of Gov. Foote, and never, in
all my life, did l witness such enthu-
siasm at public meeting as was mani
tested during the speech of Gov. Foote
1t is impossible at this late hour of the
night to give you anything like an ade-
quate account of the meeting or asynop-
sis of the speech delivered by Gov.
Foote. Suffice it to say, it was one of
his most happy efforts, in which he did
good service to the cause in which he is
engaged.
Gov. Foote, on retiring from the stand,
was greeted with six loud, long and
hearty cheers by the immense multitude
that surrounded him. So enthusiastic
were some of our good Fillmore men,
and SO we'll satisfied were they with the
Governors speech, that when he step
ped back to leave the stand, they caught
him up in their arms and carried him to
his apartment, amidst the cheers of the
vast crowd who had listened to his elo-
quent remarks.
A. B. Dibble, Esq, our eloquent can
didate for Congress, being called for,
came forward, and for nearly an hour
discoursed eloquently upon the affairs
of State; he gave lucid history of the
present state of our country; spoke Of
the Kansas-Nebraska agitation, its
causes, and results if either Buchanan
or Frement are elected to the Presiden-
tial chair. Announced himself as a
warm advocate of the Pacific Railroad,
and in favor of putting an end at once
and forever to that great question which
now agitates and divides our common
country, slavery. His speech was an
eloquent one, and was listened to by his
large audience with great attention and
enthusiasm.
Mr.. Dibble was followed by Mr.. A. A.
Sargent, our very popular candidate for
State Senator He diseoursed entirely
on the affairs of State, and most nobly
did he acquit himself. He spoke of the
Vigilance Committee of San Francisco,
and of the effort of the Buchanan party
to force that subject into the canvass ;
of the failure of his Democratic opponent
to make known his views upon that
question; proclaimed himself warm
and ardent supporter Of the Vigilance
Committee and their cause spoke Of
