Messrs. Editors We enjoyed at our last Mondays
cour, is crea, an intellectual feast as it has been our
lot 10 enjoy for many II day. After The usual business
of the court was over, II large crowd assembled anu
our worthy citizen, Col. X. a.. Claybrnnk, addressed
! us in q powerful and eloquent address, III "ll'ch ne
distinctly set forth the great issues ti'at are before te
peoul., and showed conclusively that on Buchanan
and Br.ckinridge alone rest the hopes OF our glorious
republic. Col. C!aybrook ia indeed q great light
among US. cheering us up amid MI the threatening
storms which from time TO time gather around US, ana
pointing us TO the glorious victory winch awaits Us
this fall.

sp.ecl of Col. Claybrook, finding no DINER position
10 stand upon, he turned u. T. last resort upon the ad'
minlstratinn of Gen. Pierce, and from thence TO what
h. would be pleased 10 call the previous iniults "i the
Democratic party. This is n glorious topic To be us

NJ. X. II. Garnet, Esq, hut when we learned tina
he WAS elsewhere, engaged in IN" proclamation Of de

TIN. Democrats certainly carried the day on Mon

During Mr.. Crutcher's speech, he said ihGl Mr.

The meeting adjourned n about; ) o'clock, and as
last dying effort We heard some one say "hurrah 70
Fillmore" in a low tone, which was soon swsllowe
up amid the enthusiastic cheers for Buchanan.
With this imperfect sketch, genilemeu, of wha
Il trauspired. give three rounds OF hearty cheers in tn
name OF Northumberland, for James Buchanan an
John C.. Breckenridge. "ClfIS."
