THE SPEAKING THURSDAY NIGHT.
GILES NJ. HILYER.

We have neither time nor room TO notice
the proceedingsa at the Court House on Thurs
day afternoon and night-our paper always
going to press in the afternoon of the follow"
inc day-and the close of the canvass, when
should commence the healing of old political
wounds, forbids us from going into any lengthy
or severe reflections which the occasion alluded
to SO Justly merits. We shall content Ourself
with the consolation of knowing that the Anne"
ricau party was never more triumphant. The
chickens of the previous night had come
home to r0ost, with q vengeance.
p~unctoai to appointment, Hon. GILES M,
IIILYER, Of Mississippi, and editor Of the Nat
chez Courier, was at the Courthouse, and
without ceremony assembled the stand at the
hour specified. He is one of the finest look"
ing men we have ever seen, "a rarity among
editors we beIieve) with an eye like an eagles,
whic! seemed to light up his whole face. The
Court House was densely crowded, and as
usual there were NAM. ladies' and during four
hours he was listened to with almost GREATNESS
attention. He nobJy sustained his party. Ibis
was a great speech, interlaced with lively wit
and the most beautiful figures of rhetoric and
his peroration one of the most beautiful that
could be conceived by the human intellect
Throughout the speaker was most enthusiasts
ticaIly applanded.
When Mr.. H1LYER had ended, the Governor
of Louisiana arose and replied in a speech of
two hours. We are contentto leave the Gov
ernor aIcne in his glory, feeling perfectly sat-
isied that such a speech from sucb a source
will always result in favor of the speakers po-
lilicaI opponents-but how far greater the eff
feet when those opponents are the great ma
tional American party Of the land! The De-
mocrats missed their figure in pitting WICK
LIFE the occasion required their best man
and for their own interest they should have
called upon the courteous, graceful and elo-
quent LACEY, their ablpst orator here, to reply
to Mr.. HILVER.
After the Governor got through, Mr.. IlIL-
YER arose and said but a few words-a fen
words only were necessary. There seemed
considerable objection on the Partof the Demo.
Gratis to have him reply, but he mounted the
stand, nevertheless, folded his arms, and with
fire flashing from, his eyes, exclaimed, in the
spirit of majetsy itself, "You may strike, gen.
tIemen, but speak ] will""
On the whole, the coming Of Mr. E1ILYER
AMONGST us has led to most gratifying results
in a political sense.

The following deserved compliment TO Mr'
c. w. Pope, of cur town, Familiarity called
Willie in his native Baton Rouge, is from the
Sugar Planter. For energy, enthusiasm, a
spirit that never flags, and devotion to the
principles of the American party, Mr. PoPE has
made himself most fatteringly known here
during the past campaign he has been as user
fol too as he necessarily became conspicuous
in his efforts to advance the interests of his
party; and it gives us pleasure TO bear evil
dence of this fact. The Sugar Planter, speak,
ing of The reason that prevented Col. Posp
from addressing the people at Brnsle Landing,

During the evening of Saturday last, the
crowd seemingly determined to'have a speech
from some one, a unanimous call was made
upon oRr enthusiastic young friend, C. w.
Pope Esq.o of P~laquemine, who promptly re.
aponded to the call, and delivered one of the
prettiest little speeches we have heard during
the campaign. The cheers of The audience testi.
fed their appreciation Of "Willie's" effort,

Island in this parish. The American party on
that day and at that place had given a Barbe.

and on which occasion q pole eighty feet long
was raised with appropriate ceremonies, when
a beautiful flag OF our country, with the names
Of our standard bearers embiazoned upon it
was hoisted TO the topmost height, when its
ample folds, for the first time, were flung to the
light and to the breeze. Those who had il in
charge, and not dreaming that there was a
heart in our broad land so polluted as TO in.
iure or insult the emblem Of our nationality
and of our greatness, suffered it TO remain du>
ring the night in its proud position. In the
morning there was no flag waving, nor did it
hang l~istlessly to the mast but at the foot of
the pole was seen about half of it, filthy with
dirt and much taltered, while some distance off
in the road lay the other half in a similar con-
dition! 1t was a glorious achievement certain
ly, the hauling down, rending in twain, tramp
ling upon and otherwise disfguring the Anne
Fican banner! We trust that our friends in
that section will succeed in f~erreling out the
perpetrators of 80 vile an act.

James buchanan Insults James Madison.
At the date Of his first aspirations to seat in
Congress, Mr.. Buchanan made carefully prepared
Fourth of July Grafton, (lsl5,) wherein he spoke
of Mr.. Madison's rule as follows:
slime win not allow me to enumerate all the
other wild and wicked projects Of this administra-
ton. Suffice 1t to say, that after they had deprived
us Of the means of defence, by destroying navy
and dsbanding our army, after they had taken
away from us the power Of recruiting them, by
running commerce, the great Of our national
and individual wealth after they had, by refusing
the Bank Of the United States continuance Of its
charter, embarrassed the financial concerns of the
government and Withdrawn the only universal
paper medium Of the country from circulation
after the people had become unaccustomed TO, and,
Of course, unwilling to bear taxation, and without
money in the Treasury, they rashly plunged us
into war with nation more able to do us injury
than any other In the world. What was the dread
full necessity for this desperate measures Was
our country invadeds No! Was 1t to protect
our little remaining from the injuries il
sustained by the orders in Council No! Com
nlerce was no such favorite, and the merchants
wished for 10 war on that account"
In the same Grafton, he speaks of adopted citi-
zens as the Hartford Convention had recently spo-
KEN and as his party was then accustomed to speak
of them, as follows:
The greater part Of those foreigners who
would be thus affected by it, have long been the
warmest friends of the Democratic party They
had been one Of the great means of elevating the
present ruling party, and it would have been I'M
grateful for that party to have abandoned them
To secure this foreign feeling has been the labor
Of their leaders for more than twenty years, and
well have they been paid for their trouble, for it
has been one of the principal causes of introluc-
ing and continuing them in power. Immediately
before the war, this foreign influence had com
pletely imboded ITSELF with the majority, particu-
larly at the West and its voice was heard SO loud
at the seat of Government that President Madison
obliged either to yield to its dictates or retire
from Office. The choice was easily made by a
who preferred has private interests to the pub
Tic good and he therefore hurried us into war ut
terly unprepared."
And again, returning to the subject:
'We ought to use every honest exertion to turn
out OF power those ,oeak and ,oicked men whose
wild and visionary theories have been tested and
found wanting. Above all, we ought to drive
from our shores foreign influence, and cherish
American feeling. Foreign influence has been in
every age the curse of Republics-itsj aundeed eye
sees everybody in false colors--the thick atmos
phere OF prejudice by which it is ever surrounded,
excluding from its sight the light Of reason. Let
us then learn wisdom from experience, and forever
barsish this fend from our society"
