800 PoLiTIcAL PRosPECIs.-A great concourse Of
people from all parts of the county were in
town last week, drawn here by the sitting of
the courts and the previous announcement that
our candidate for Governor would be present.
On Tuesday evening, the campaign was opened
in gallant style by Judge Wimot in speech
consuming over two hours, and which created
a.perfect Juror of enthusiasm among a people
that for years past have regularly instructed
their representatives in Congress TO maintain
without hinching and at all hazards the prin-
ciples of the "Wilmot Proviso." During the
week we saw and conversed with active infiu-
entail working men from erery tOaonsh,P IN the
county, and the invarisblc replies to our qul-
ries were "aee arere nerer more harmonious,
merer 5etter united, ncrer more confident of sue
ccss" and in most instances came also the cheer
ing assurance Our toUnship rM do better
than IL did last faN."
We can assure our friends both at home and
abroad that Somerset County will increase her
majority without fail Energetic work gave
as an increased majority of three hundred from
the October to the November election last
year. The same spirit is now abroad, and we
confidently predict a further increase Of three
hundred on the vote of last November. Do
you hear that boys rs Somerset Wing.
JUDGE WILMor's SpEEcH-The speech of
Judge Wilmot delivered in the Court House,
at Uniontown on last Saturday afternoon, was
one Of great force and power. 1t was at once
clear, argumentative and dspassionate, yet full
of earnestness. There was no attempt at rhe-
torical hourishes, no vain display of finely
wrought figures to tickle the ear, but calm
appeal to the judgment of his auditory, in be-
half of the great principles of the party whose
candidate he is.
The Court House was full to overhowing.-
The Judge commenced by stating that he was
an entire stranger to his audience, with the
exception of some few who were familiar to
him in politics He come before them not for
the purpose of persuadng them to the vote for
him. but to present to them his views on the
great leading question before the American
people ConnelisriNc Enterprise.
MEETING OF THE PEoPLE.-The meeting at
the Court House on Saturday last, to hear
Hon. David Wilmot was the largest political
meeting we have ever seen in this place, except
county mass meetings called during Court
week, when large numbers of people were in
attendance on other business. There had been
no effort made to rally the people they came
of their own accord to hear the champion of
Jeh'ersonian Democracy-Un UniOntoun Stand
ard.
WILXorlN NALLEGHESY-GRAND DEMoNsrRA-
T1oS Judge Wilmot addressed the citizens
of Allegheny City last evening, in the Market
House square, there being no hall in the place
large enough to hold the immense audience
1t was grand outpouring Of the people, and
reminded us of the splendid demonstrations
made under the excitement of last year:
Judge Wimot was introduced TO the meet
ing, and proceeded to address his hearers in
the calm, clear and logical manner for which
he is so distinguished. He was listened to
with profound attention, and was frequently
and heartily applauded

before more successful tour.-Pittsburg Ga
zate.
JUDGE WLHor AT WAsHINGroN.-We have
taken occasion heretofore to notice the success
attendant upon the tour Of Judge Wilmot
through the western part of the State. We
clip the following notice of his appearance at
Washington, Pennsylvania, and of his speech
delivered at that point, from the special cores
pondence of the Pttsburg Dispatch:
Hon DAVID WILMor spoke in the Court
House yesterday afternoon-the Court ad-
journing till three o'clock for the purpose
The attendance was very large, notwithstand-
ing the unpeasantness of the day. The speech
seems to give great satisfaction to Mr.. Will
mot's political friends, and seemed to convince
every one that the speaker was man of
great earnestness of purpose and straight-for-
wardness of opinion and utterance. He left
for PittSburg this morning"
