Mr.. Lakes speech

The finest political speech that we have heard du-
ring the canvass, was delivered here last Saturday,
by the distinguished member of Congress from this
district. the Hon. W. A. lake. We will not do Mr.
Lake the injustice to attempt to report him. We
can only say it was a most eloquent, dgni6ed and
Saesman-like effort and elected universal admira-
ton from the large audience who heard it.
We understand from gentleman who was pres.
ent, that his speech at satartia Monday last was
If anything better than the one he made here. The
people of Yazoo as in all parts of the District are
highly pleased with Mr.. Lakes recent course in
Congtsss, and now as he mingles among them giving
an account Of his Stewardship, he gathers round
him troops of friends who will sustain him in hi
patriotic course

in syhich Fillmore had figured, and which, the
speake,- claimed, had once saved the country. He
reoarded he nomination of Buchanan as perpet-

the contest was but d sectional one with the par

whole country, and would, if elected, protect all
its parts equally well.

THE Bourne AMERICANS OF New YoRK.-
That portion of the American party of New
York which bolted from the National Conven-
ton of Feb. %, recently held convention at
Syracuse on the same day with the Repubii-
can Convention.
In their call for this convention, they condemn
in indignant language the conduct Of Law,
Hammond. Sheaffer g. Co., for their attempt
to betray the North Americans into the hands
Of the Fremonters. They will also issue an
address 20 the people Of the State.
The result of this affair is easily foreseen.
The North Americans, as they style themselves,
did, on the 23d, coalesoe With the true Ameri-
cans, and thus added several thousand to the
American vote of the State. The Old-Ene
Democrats in New York, are already coming
over ~ battalions and grand divisions, and nc
earthly power can prevent the electoral vote Of
New York from being cast for Fillmore and
Donelson by at least thirty thousand majority
