power andfJrce for about fifteen minutes.
Charles Spoford, Esq. Of Dear Isle, was
Fext callel upon, and responded in a
speech of an hour, which has been char
actcrized as a brilliant effort. As a
speaker, he is easy, fluent and eloquent.
His remarks were well received, as cz-
pressing the feelings of the audience,
and the sentiments Of the people, al over
the country. His sarcasm. and his des.
cription of the powers that be- and the
hnmbug6ery that is being practiced upon

entertainments Of the slave olisarchy, for
long series of years, reaching their eli
max in the repeal Of the Missouri Com
promise. and the consequent lawlessness
violence and bloodshed in Kansas, have
demonstrated that to yield longer is to
be subdued; and whereas, these agrees
i've measures, and the men who executed
them. have been sanctioned by the Dem
ocratic party and are heartily endorsed
by their nominee; and whereas, these
things are calculated to wrest our insti-
buttons from their legitimate course-to
prohibit Freedom and establish Slavery.
