Defeating Ceremonies.

The defeating ceremonies OF the Odd
Fellows Hall, ON Friday last, were of the
most imposing character, and attracted a
large crowd Of persons of both sexes. A
procession by members of the Order, con-
Quoted by Col. VIM. ii. Hartman and Vim.
A, sterrett, Marshals appointed for the oc-
casion, moved through the principal streets
of the town. The glittering regalia of the
Order, ard the excellent music by the
Mountain Sax-Horn Band, added greatly to
the enjoyment of the scene.
The procession halted at the Lutheran
Church, where, after prayer by the Rev
Mr. Davis, the Pastor in charge, an elo-
quent and appropriate address was delivered
by John d. Imbodcn, Esq Mr.. I. gave a
brief and comprehensive history of the rise

most favorable impression.
At night, there was an elegant Supper

Hon, John Letcber,

Owing to the inclcmency of the weather,
this gentleman did not address the people of
Augusta until Wednesday. There was
good audience, and Mr. Letehe7 rendered
an account Of his stewardship. which gave
entire satisfaction. After making an expose
of the political complexion of the last Con-
gress and the sordid character of some of its
members, Mr.. Letchcr proceeded to discuss
the question Of Distribution, and this he did
in manner which must have convinced the
friends Of that measure of its impolicy and
unconstitutionality. He proved, conclu-
sively, by the Acts of Congress, that the
waste Of the public lands was encouraged by
che Legislation of the very party who are
now loud in their opposition and clamorous
for Distribution. Mr. Letcher showed that
the act granting alternate sections of land
to the Illinois Central Rail Road Company
tof which Mr.. Stuart complained SO muchl
was passed under Mr.. Fillmore's admins
srafon-he showed the isnpoiicy of Distri-
button, and argued that the deficit in the
National treasury caused by the withdrawal
of the land fund, must be supplied by in
creased taxation on sugar, cotton, iron, &c.
Our limited space prevents us from giving
as extended a notice of the Speech of our
distinguished representative as we wished
to do, but We may do SO hereafter. Mr.. L.
riddlcd, utterly demolished Carlisle's scheme
of distribution-he exposed it in such man
ner that we think Mr.. Carlisle himself
would have been ashamed oft The speech
of Mr.. Letcher was forcihle and argumen-
tative and gave great satisfaction. We re-
greet our inability to do justice to the able,
convincing and conclusive speech of our
worthy representative, but the people will
do that at the polls by giving him such a
majority that will not only do honor to the
man but rebuke his opponents.

the proud position they held and lend their
aid in thwarting and defeating an Admins

independence and proclaimed them to be
corrupt 2" VIII they select as their choice
for State Senator, the President Of all the
X. n. Councils in Virginia. Can they vote
for the High Priest Of the Order, from Mt

Priest. from Waynesberoagh, who, if report
be true, carried Bible in his pocket, the
more readily to administer the oaths of the
erder--or that other High Priest in Stauu-
ton, who has no sympathy for the Old Lii

that if this money was not drawn within
two years after the passage of the act, It
should revert to the Federal treasury. As
the two years have long since elapsed, this
money has reverted, and it will now require
