them documents to influence that votc)
forgery, also charged that the Amer
lean party was now secretly organized.
We followed, showing true copy of
the Circular with Faulkner's stamp ON
1T, and we appealed to the Americans
on the ground who rcpudiated the un-
founded charge of secret organization.
WIN. e. Brown followed-chargcd that
the Americans. in their organization,
were like the Jacobns of France, and
had operated like them with their rib
bons and white caps, finally concealing
themselves in dirty shirts Bah Il
that the American party were respon-
.sible for the blood split in Kansas
that Kentucky had gone for the Dem
ocrats, &C., and such unfounded accu-
sations as rash humor prompted.---
Maj. Zinn followed and made the most
pungent and pointed speech we ever
heard from him, answering and refut-
ing the vagarics of Mr.. Brown to the
satisfaction of all present, who cared
for truth more than party. Seve-
cral ups and downs, in Attenuation, be-
tween the speakers were now had until
near dusk, but in all that was said and
done, American principles stood out as
We presented them, unscathcd, unan-
swered, and unanswerablc. No attempt
was made to answer aur facts or argu-
ments, by the, opposition speakers
except wherein THAR failure was most
apparent, their main object being to d.
vert attention from what had been said
in support of our side of the question,
by an onset Of rash assertion. As to
the Faulkner Circular, after Messrs.
Kimble & Brown had labored half an
hour to make it appear a forgery, and
failed signally, Mr.. Brown took anoth.
CT cue, and tried to whitewash the cir
cular, by saying that lie had done the
same thing sohen he aOas IN Congress
The laugh that greeted this declaration
in the face Of what had just transpired
was sufficient to show that the arg,t,
ment acas appreciated! Thus closed
the day at Kingwood, the American
cause advanced in spite of opposition.
BRANDoNvILLE, Aug. 12.--At the
ringing of the bell, the Academy Hal
was filled, and we addressed the meet.
ing at considerable length on topics Of
the canvass. We had the uninterrup.
ted attention of the people, and closed
about 5 o'clock, when the audience sep.
aratcd in the best feeling, except per.
haps, on the part Of some who did not
like the view we had given Of progress,

Americans here are wide awake and i'm

stirring song, we were introduced to the

two or three more of their glees, to the
delight of the people. Three cheers

we Shall ConGuor.

Under this head that noble Ameri-
can paper, the Memphis Eagle and
Enquirer gives us the following just &
highly spirited paragraphs. It makes
the heart leap like the sound of high
land bugle:
Driven to desperation for want of
materials with which to attack Mr..
Fillmore, presenting the ridiculous
spectacle of men trying to rally and
form their broken ranks for battle with
out arms, ammunition, or any material
of war-huddled together here and
there in dismayed and melancholy
knots, while American thunder bursts
upon them, and the shot and she'll from
our batteries pour into their ranks and
hew them down-what arc Sag NIGHTS
to dol There is no hope for them
Most Of the weapons with which they
fought and gained their victories in
times past, are lying shivcred at their
feet; and when, in their desperation,
they essay to gather them up, they
grasp useless fragments, broken blades
and locklcss pistols. ....
The great gun of theirs called "Bar-
gain, Intrigue and corruptioii," that
mighty field piece that told 50 long and
with such deadly effect upon their foes
from the Democratic heights is captu-
red and turned against them, and now
plays upon them with all its ancient
destructivcness. The very heights
are ours, and our banners float from
them; and there our bugles play. Our
chief is known to be inyinGiblc, and
his army has every confidence that he
will make no blunder. We have occu.
pied all the heights, guarded all the
passes, planted our batteries every
where, and the victory will be ours
We will bring joy to the country. We
will inaugurate the reign ofpcacc once
more. We will heal up the red lips Of
the wounds that civil war has made,
and slam the door in the horrid face Of
disunion. -
