JOHN W. KILLINGER. ESQ.
The first political meeting Of this
years campaign in Lewisburg, held
last Monday evening in Independent
Hall,was larger than any preliminary
demonstration wchayc witnessed here.
Holds Band was in attendance, (and
was afterwards treatci to Supper at
the ButfalOc lIousc.) Robt Ii. Laird
presided, assisted by q number Of other
officers from town and country.
Mr.. killingcr being somewhat
hoarsc from two weeks campaigning,
Col. SLFER was requested to make the
FIRST speech. and occupied half an
hour in an able and wcIl-digcstcd "ra-
king fore and aft Of Pres. Buchan-
ans administration, especially in It's
financial failures.
Our candidate for Congress, J0nN
W. kILLrNGER, was then introduced,
and was enthusiastically received.
His speech was nearly two hours
long, and he held a large audience
with undiminished interest TO the last.
The Territorial Slavery and Tariff
questions were necessarily the promi-
nent topics-thc first Of which, in
particular, he discussed in a mastery
manner, from the Jcllcrsonian ordi-
nance of I7S1 down 10 the defeat of
BuchaDan's English bill on the ID
August, his remarks often rising to
strains Of impassioned eloquencc. If
elected, he will vote for the admis-
sion of Kansas as Free Stale, with
out further harassing Of her people.
His cXhortation for Lebanon and
Union counties 10 stand as our faith
crs for long years have stood, shoul-
der to shoulder in favor Of the lead
ing principles Of Henry Clay for Pro-
lection and Liberty-was most time
ly and effective. Mr.. killingcr'S el-
ocution is pleasing and forciblc, and
We pronounce him orthodox on the
Great Questions of the day. We trust
and believe We shall find in him q
fearless and vigilant defender of our
policy, and worthy successor of the
seat in Congress once occupied by
FRICK, POLLOCK, a CASEY, a BIBIG-
HAUs,a MIDDLEswAETH and a KuNKLE.
We have been furnished with no
reports of the meetings elsewhere,
but learn that Mr.. killinger faithful
ly fulfilled all his appointments in
