After the Committee went out Judge
Johnson, of Kansas, was introduced. He
spoke and frothed for a long time, and

wrath, we don't know which, assembled to
hear speech from Payne, Of Ohio. And
as he stood before the gaping crowd they
gazed, and wondered as he spake, and
stranger, and stranger still the wonder grew,
That one small head should carry all he knew
And we do not wonder that they should,
for
"Herls would forget to grazc, and savage beasts
Stand still, and lose their fcrceness but to hear

Payne pitched into Buck with perfect
vengeance. he denounced him and all who
supported him, and wound up by advocating
the formation of a new and honest party
with Douglas as its leader, and advocate
the calling Of a convention for this purpose
in Chicago. If the gentleman's mother

Thy valiansncss prize, thou suck 'dst it from me

the President, and many of them said they
