At the meeting at the Fuller House, on Tues
day evening, u noble, ligniiied and 1nanly
speech was delivered by Mr. Hale, which wns
rcce'ved by loud and repeated cheers By the
audience. HnvinS spoken ut Hastings on 3lop-
day night, then ut Saltwater on Tuesday after
moon, the orator was naturally pretty tired ,or
spsaklllE aghin ut st. Paul on Tuesday cxeniug.

LIE was followed, at the cali Of the, audience,
byS /. Jcnnison, Esq, in a few humorous re-
marks.
Here the Meeting properly ended. aud the
llshts on tho balcony were put out.
Il few democrats in the Hotel around the bal
cony, and outside Oh the outskirts Of the crowd,
persisted IN; almost dragging out Hon. Tom
Marshall, OF Kentucky, to speak, in which they
iinally succeeded, Wien, Notwithstanding Mr,
Marshall was laboring under severe indisposi-
tion lle proceeded, (atter short interval to re-
cover himself thoroughly to speak Of tie Mis-

OF Greece lad been for ages concentrated upon
ITS adornmcnt and extension, until it had be-
come wonder Of the world. But there were
little giants in those days also. There was a
small giant who, utterly unable to build such a
temple, could think Of no other way Of makinr

except By setting on fire the magnificent fame:
and the miserable wretch stole into tile house oi
