patches, we believe, both from the east and west
but not credited Itis further stated, that Su-
perintendent SrAGEn, who is absent on q trip TO
st. Louis. had ordered general illumination
along the lines Of the Union Go. He had not
however communicated with this Office at the
time Of going to prcss--s o'clock.
Mn. Cuo4rE's SpREcn.--Wc have yielded to
the formal request Of number Of patrons and
inserted in this No Of the Telegraph, the
speech Of Mr. CaoArE delivered ut Boston, on
The 5th ultimo. Though prccluding as it does
our usual variety, we are not desposcd to turn
deaf ear TO so respectful a request from our
National or compromise friends, and more par
tieulary so, as the request is not wholly gra-
tuity. Tneir liberality 10 toleratng our poti-
cal hetrodoxy, begets a more tolerant feeling
in us towards theirs, and the compromise pro-
duces quite fellow, if not notionat feeling
AS to the character OF the production, we
have taken occasion to allude to some Of its
features and now as we have given it place
ia our columns, some further notice of 1t may
rot be unreasonable. Coming from a man Of
Mr. C.'s position, il will nc doubt, be read, not
withstaading its tediousncss and want Of per-
spicnity of style, by goodly number of our
readers 1t viii probably pay for that pcrusal
for it abounds with random, vagrant scintilat-
ing thoughts, thrown together in q manner that
none but an attic hypochondriac could ever
have accomplished, aud in a manner 10 which
no one with literary reputation to acquire,
would hardly dare attempt. II is strange
compound of fancy and feeling, tinkling, laca-
tlasical addresses TO the weak side of humanity,
sophistry and demagogism, apparently guile
less, while singing the syreu song Of com
promise, yet induIging, towards opponents a
ranker of sminkng maliquity as inconsistent
with the spirit Of compromise, as it is entirely
consistent with the zeal of an apostatc. Be-
meath the silvcry accents of compromise lies a
hostility 10 the conservative sentiment Of the
day, as intolerant aud iIliberal, any feature Of
the tactics Of the party, to which he is endea-
voring to commend himself Belonging to the
only party in the country that embraces any
considerable number Of disunionists he spends
much of bis effort in attempting to iasten the
odium OF want of nationality aud legality to
the Union, upon his political opponents
While his face pen teaches the spirit Of for
bearancc, patience and federation, he puts him
self at the service Of a party, which ruthlessly
tramples upon the most sacred compacts, the
progress of which, has been marked by II ore vio-
lence, less regard for constitutional rights, than
has ever characterised any party in the history
of the country, and which has hardly been ex.
ceeded in any land, laying claim to civilization
Rotten in its premises, the framework and fin
ish are such as might reasonably be expected
erraneous, il not dishonest and hypocrtical.
Aside from its strange commingng of IDEAS
and its long breath-suspending sentences, il is
decked with loopings of exhubcraut fancy, and
shines with lustre quito equal to. John Ran
dolphs dead mackerel, and the order of its
arguments is but little less concentrated and
noxious.
