Wisusport, the home OF Gov; WV r 1900 ..
which the speakers oushrleked the widest hshsas
sliekers of The campaign of 1856 The distinguished
orators on the occasion all od-llne Piercebg

thick and thin for the Sage OF Whehti4nd, fenh

traces at the first crack Of his whip was one oil tne
richest sights ever beheld The meeting was goo
affair engineered for the occasion by the sohd eu o
the party About one-thrd Of the audience were
Renublicans assembled IN what ridiculous capers
the saints r. ally would cut and the speakers without
exception the demonstrating set OF mortas tae eye
ever rested The spectacle they ehhloted as tey
twisted and wrggled and squirmsd IN approaching tne
vital points Of tie controversy, gulpng down oody
all they had ever said before, was the most amusing
thing under the sun. .,.; l..

One of them had the hardhood 20 declare that the
South was bent upon forcing Slavery into Kansas IN
spite Of her pro sting people that the PRESIDENT haG
proved recreant his party and that sfter they had
fought hard for the great principle vi Popular SOW
,reippty he would never submit 70 let Mr.. buchanan
obiiteiate it by flourish OF MS pen.' Good
| for him There enough there to make true reoel
vet under favorable circumstances OF course, there
was series Of resoutiops these were far tanner thsn
the suphurOus speeches. for they we're 10 remain upon
record, while the speeches were ou spent oreGtn'
The speeches were furious al times, qule Bunp)"ueIy
indeed full of emphatic phrases and fierce rebelions;
but the resolutions generally. were mild as zephyrs,
sucking doves whatsoever ia gentest. The w1ole
OF the /, ,oution pleaded for Popular Sovereignty like
whipped scbool-boys; and thought it unkind OF Mr.
Bucansn to deprive the North of this piece Of ginger
bread after its vigorous struggle IN his behalf during
| the can pagn OF 1856 As specimen Of their con-
pisteucy one of them declared that the Lecompton
| Constitution was "a banting conceived IN sin
| and brough, forth in niquiiy;' and yet an
other declared that the Democracy OF Pennsylvania
have undiminshed confidence in the Administration
generally Of James Buchanan The fact is the
| Democracy here are fesrfully alarmed. They don't
want to desert President, and the only
one .he ever had, right off: yet they tremble like
Belsbazzar for their safety Hardly Lecomptcnite
is to be found in our community, Gov. Packer and
all his brave polit clans and friends are stiy rooted
| against the shameful swindle; indsed, the meeting
here on Saturday night it is well und rstood, was con-
vened chiefly at his dictation. So it closed with three
vaorous cheers for Douglas Let the Little Giant
stand firm. However wrong he may have been he is
| ndisputaDly right now AS for US Republicans, we
hold our peace and look curiOusy Nevertheless,
We deeply rejoice to little courage in those
WI ON we have all along been compelled to regard as
| igrOble sayes. Yours truly, ANDRE" ANTHRACITE.
