PRoGREss OF THE CAMPAIGN.-We are graft
fed to learn that in no part of the State is the
cause more favorably progressing, wide awake as
are our friends in other sections, than in Essex
county. Our friend, Dexter f. Parker, who has
been speaking there, reports that the best spirit
prevails in all their meetings, in Salem, and other
places. Mr.. Parker has himself addressed large
audiences in Danyers, West Newbury, and By
field. In Danvers, the Hon. James Black presi-
ded, and Mr.. Parker made one of his best speech
es, which is thus referred to by correspondent
of the Boston Bee;--
awe have listened, in our time, to not few
campaign speeches, in this and other States, but
of all we have ever heard, we confess that the
speech Of Mr. Parker last night was the most
able, thorough, convincing, candid, patriotic, and
eloquent. 1t was speech long to be remember
ed by those who heard it,
This correspondent reports the conclusion OF
Mr.. Parker's speech, after handling Gov Gard
ner without gloves for his Inconsistency and by
pocrisy in the pretence set up by his advocates, Of
,'retrenchment,' &C., as follows -
''Should Mr. Banks be defeated, howl of ex-
ultation would go up from all slaverydom, because
he lBanks) had identified himself as hardly an
other had, with the great anti-sayery, free labor
movement. lie called upon ms hearers IN the
name offreedom and humanity, to do their utmost
to elect by an overwhelming vote this representa-
tive man of the people. That he would be elected
was sure, but he ought to be elected by a vote
that would carry CONSERVATION into the camp of
those who are madly battling against the rights
of man.
Mr.. Parker spoke an hour and half, and en-
chained the attention Of his audience to the last,
when he was interrupted with bursts of ap-
plause. 1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Parker has
not spoken more in the campaign. Without dis.
paraging others, it is not too much to say that
his ability an orator and reasoner is exceeded
by that of none of the able advocates of Mr..
Banks. His speeches in the Legislature, partie-
ularly those on the Jury law and the banking
question, are well known. The doctrines of his
speech on the latter question today in repute.
he is a sell. educated man, having acquired mis-
extensive knowledge (which, indeed, is marvel
to those who know HIM in his spare moments as
a laborilg man.
At the close of his speech, vote of thanks was
moved the speaker, which was responded to by
general 'ay."
In Fitchburg and Milford, in this county, we
are also happy to see, the campaign has been
opened in right good earnest. On Monday eve
ming oflast week, Hon. Gideon Haynes Of Wal.
than, and John L. Swift Of Boston, addressed
large and enthusiastic audience in the Town Hall
in FichbUVg, and their efforts on the occasion, it
is said, will tell well for the cause in that place.
In Milford, on Wednesday evening last Hon
Henry Wilson and Rev. John Prince addressed
large and enthusiastic meeting at the Town
Hall, and the Journal speaks of it a most de-
cisive indication of the triumphant issue of the
cause of Banks and freedom in that town in No.
vember. So it goes all over the commonwealth,
and the cause will continue to progress until
Gardnerism is driven from power in the State
