MEETING OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATS OF CHICAGO.
On the evening of the Esd uit, meeting of the
tional Democrats Of Chicago held in that city,
agreeably to call which has been already published
in this paper. All the papers concur in stating that,
before the meeting had been organized by the COM
the chair usurped b, pi ointment lawyer named
Tracey. He informed by policeman that he
was usurping the chair, when alteration ensued,
which ended in the of Tracey and his removal
from the hall. AT o'clock Col r. j. ,mton
was called to the chair considerable number of
police stationed in the hail to preserve order
preparations having been made, evidently, by the
enemies Of the meeting to create disturbance.
Col. K. B. Carpenter was the first speaker. He
proceeded at some length to define the political po-
sitions Of the Democratic and Republican parties the
principles they each professed and the objects they
desired to accomplish. At the conclusion Of this
part of his speech he proceeded to examine Mr..
Douglass position. When his name was mentioned
a loud camor arose throughout the hail. and COL
Carpenter was interrupted by yells, Kisses, and
cheering. The arrest of active disturber fol-
lowed by quiet subsequent interruption of the
speaker was quelled in the same manner. Col. Car.
penter then proceeded 10 discuss Illinois politics and
to defend the national Democracy from Judge Doug:
lass charge of coalition with the Republicans to
defeat him for the Senate He continued his re.
marks at considerable length. Hon. Jno. Dougher-
ty candidate for State treasurer next occupied the
attention of the audience for two hours reviewing
the past and present positions of Judge Douglas in
detail, and charged him with betraying the Democ.
racy that he might promote his ambition, elicit.
ing applause from the national Democrats present.
and interruptions from the partizans Of JUDI Houx.
las. Speeches from E. W. Tracey, Esq, and Henry
| S. Fitch, ESQ.,, son OF Senator Fitch of Indiana
concluded the entertainments of the evening. The
Eal, is stated was'crowded in every part and the
meeting, IN point of enthusiasm and earnestness
| was not inferior to any ever held in Chicago.

So is the age of ora,ory. We have fallen on evil
times, SO far as eloquence is concerned. We have
great orators either at the bar in the Senate
We have indeed clever speakers, but oratory as it
g. in that elder time.
Warm, energetic chaste, sub!ne!"
is almost wholly unknown among us. The age is
commercial and unitarian and its influence is extend
ed through all ranks of life The profession of law,
which both in ancient and modern times has produ
ced very eminent orators, becoming less and less
liberal art, and more and more business pursuit.
So far the mere interests Of the community
concerned this may be very well. But the fact is
obvious and undenable that the bar is longer the
theatre of great eloquence. 1t is out fashion there,
well As in Congress and our State legislatures
In this respect however, England can boast no
better condition OF things than exists in our own
country. She has not single great orator. No
appears to claim the mantle of the mighty Chat
ham, to emulate the renown of Fox and Pitt
Dsraeli is Of exceeding ceverness, but has not
the large heart mind whence flow the living
Of eloquence. His sharp, racy discourse may win
applause and plant thornS IN the breast Of an advtr
sary. but does not Overwhelm, nor warm, nor melt
his hearers. Earl Derby is a dashing, impusive
speaker, with cultivated, pointed eocution, but he
rises. and is probably incapable to rise, into
the higher strains Of eloquence. MIR. Gladstone is
man oftraned mind. extensive information. and large
experience. These advantages constitute him very
able debater. At the same time he lis a pleasing
speaker, but has denied him the higher gift Of
oratory. Lord Palmerston has wit and jokes, and
his POPULARITY excites laughter both in himself and
others; but laughter is not eloquence
The truth is, great orators do not appear in ordi
nary times 1t is only when mighty interests at
stake; when the passions of men aroused by the
storm of revolution, political or religious; when high
thoughts and glowing feelings, and heroic resolves
in the acendant-it is only at such times that the
great orator comes upon the scene. The French
revolution is illustrated by its Mirabeau and its Dan
ton the American by it's Patrick Henry and its John
Adams The critical periods of English history are
the periods of its most eminent orators. Great
events seem necessary arouse into action great
natures; to mfame and inspire them. Indeed, when
such events do not after long interval, and
the religious principle is not active mankind in
danger of sinking into the grossest materialism.-
They will be apt to look only to the acquisition Of
wealth, and abandon themselves to physical enjoy
ment, as the highest good in life.

no Daniel stanley re,ident Of Leave

r@- Daniel Stanley, a resident of Leaven-
worth City, Kansas, but who formerly lived in
this county, was robbed in the following man
ner. in this city, on the morning of the 9th
inst. lie was waiting on the beach for a
boat to take passage. lie had with him, his
trunk and carpetbag,- and about fifty-six dol
lars in money in his pantaloons pocket
While sitting on the beach he was approached
by William Thomas, Ira Smith, and Jas. Cas-
sidy. who stated that they we're going to Kan
sas too, and that hey would be company for
each other.
Stanley says thai. after having this commu-
nication, which tool: place about one o'clock
in the morning he recollected no moro but on
recovering from an unconscious st te his peck
cts were robbed Of all they contained and his
trunk and carpetbag was missing, making a
loss Of about $50 in. property and money. In
the moraing officers Evans, Martin, and Me-
Bride, got upon tae track of these men and
found JAS. Cassidy and Ira Smith, in the third
| story of Tom. Hughes boarding house, and on
searching these men, $11 in silver was found
on Capiday, part Of which money was identi-
fed as Stanley's money. The gold and paper
money was not found. An umbrella and para
sol were found in an unoccupied bed, between
the clothing, which proved to be the property
OF DIR. Holland, who was robbed by the same
villains, or their accomplices, in the beginning
of the week. While officers Mcbride and
Evans were hard at work in the upper rooms
with the prisoners, officer Martin was still more
| successful below. He found the trunk and
carpetbag slowed away in the privy in the
yard belonging to Tom Hughes, and also an
other trunk, which proved to be stolen one,
lost by German q few days ago.. coat
was found in another house, which was ono
stolen from the store Of Simon Gumherts.
Cassidy and Smith were taken before Sqnire
/ Walker, afterwards w. Thomas was arrested
on the same charge, and the trio, were, in de-
fault of bail) committed to answer the. charge
of Grand Larceny, at the { october term Of th'
Circuit Court. -.-.
Stanley is a temperate man, having not i'm
bibed any spirituous liquors for the last dv'
years, but he is subject to fits occasioned by
