ksr,s attention; it was presented with all it e,rr,ities as the meanest of all factions, ant .rer did Sam get such hard flashing as Mir ,hhott administered to him, and proved to the
 .t;re satisfaction of every unprejudiced mind ,bot the only principle by which the Samites ,,sre actuated, was that "to the victors belong .he spoils," and to secure the loaves and fishes r,oy Nothings have and do now resort to eve. .r stratagem and trick however low, degrading ,rnanly or contemptible.
 The picture which he drew of the horrid a.eds committed by this self-styled American ,.rty to carry an election, made cold chills run it,ouoh the veins of the whole audience.- The speaker then paid his respects to Arkan- ... Know Nothings, in which he made their rant of principle, firmness, and honesty ap- .,raut: their planform was dissected and ex- limited in its falaciouSneSs so palpable that I ,,;ne no one who heard him will hereafter be .n "Arkansaw" Know Nothing; he proved .,.o fir m their platform, that they too, sought ofic, by prevarication, islander and misrepre- sentations.
 Mr. Abbott's defense of our present worthy executive, Gov. E. N. Conway, was satsfac- tory and complete; and put all his enemies and slanderers to open shame. The documents which he read, and the facts shown from the record, perfectly astounded all the Samites.- He made it appear plainly that the Know No- thing assertions, that Gov Conway was one of the projectors of the Real Estate bank; that he had grown rich therefrom,'' etc, were false, and that Col. Fowler the Know Nothing can- ddate for Congress, and other whigs were the prime movers in that banking concern, and now, forsoothl they are endeavoring to make an innocent officer responsible for their misdeeds so by these means they may ride into office He also proved to the satisfaction of his hearers that Gov Conway had prosecuted the suit against this banking institution with all possi- ble speed, and that all the Know Nothing as- sertions to the contrary are false and malicious. It appears from the testimony adduced, that a few years ago, these banks had involved the State in debt of millions of dollars, that the trustees and officials had swindled the State out of large sums, so that ruin, repudiation, and bankruptcy, were almost inevitable; that the policy of Gov. Conway had saved the State rom all these calamties and that 1t is now last approaching to its meridian splendor.
