G. Il. Smith having been called upon
said that as the timo was lar spent ana as
the subjects that were most interesting had
here been well explained no should nave out
little to say, but would express peculiar
qualification at seeing 80 lively an interest

slave power were trying to get up aGlorifca-

swer is at hand. We have chosen Repre-
sentative from this class to the State Lcgis-

us by those who passed through the scenes
of the revolution. And we have the salts
faction of seeing our State with full rep
rescntation in tho national councils with
one heart and one mind opposed to slave
breeding and slavery extension.
Mr.. Smith alluded to the Presidents Mes

government and lead to military dcspot-
ism. He had charged the people with IN
attempt to usurp the government, and that
their arts would lead to burning cities and
rauaging fields. when they had done moth

made nominations and chosen men to Offices,
aud that was all. But where docs the Pres.
idcnt find people whose purposes lead to
usurpation, burning cities and rayaging
fields? Certainly not among us. IL such
class exist they must DO found among the
supporters Of Mr.. Buchanan, in tho great
cities themselves. If the President had call
