argument had come from, which couvin-
ced If. Keath Of the superiority Of North
ern men to Southern bullies. The breadth
between the ears SHOWS unfaltering courage
while the largely developed social organ.
and the tower Of benevolenee shows where
the Homestead Bill came from, still his
forehead is not massive. We have seen
more intellectual looking heads out Of which
nothing ever came; and We were afraid
that in his speech Of the evening he would
not do full justice to the occasion. A.
though some effort for US to sit up so long
We went to hear him. Wilson's Hall was
packed as no one ever saw it packed before;
and for two hours and half he held his
audience sntranced.
zHiseh was great, GRAND, GLO-
RIO U0 4tI Nothing wanting! Not word
too much.
Talk about the by gone greatness Of the
American Congress. People are always
croaking Of the "good old time;" but Hen
~ Clay never excelled that speech; and We
think never squalled it. Thank God for
the men He has raised up to fight out this
second American Revolution-the real
Inauguration of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
The moccasins endeavoured to break up
the meeting, by building bon fires in front
Of the hall, beating drums and shouting
"FIRE:"
Early in the address it was announced
twice, by prominent Republican that
there was great danger tho house would
fall with the weight of the audience. They
were entreated to refrain from stamping;
tried to do 80; bnt only one lady left. All
the others concluded to run the risk for
the sake Of the speech, and held their pl.-
ces to the last. The speech was most mas
terly effort; and has done the cause of truth
an incalculable service:

burning US In E6egy.
During MI. Grows speech our moccasin
friends built a great bondere in front Of the
Hall; and had us dressed in eaigy to be
burned. They danced and yelled; and beat
drums, and shrieked, and shouted and
swore, and had a comfortable time generally;
but We had not past the au-to-de-fse when
the meeting adjourned; and have not heard
this morning, whether We were burned or
laid aside for another time.
This i about the last act in the great
Lowry regime, under. which men who had
incurred the wrath Of we big Indian were
mobbed and lynched ~ cody As mad dog
would have been shot; and under which
Judge Goodrich was hissed down
here in tho fall Of 81, and refused right
of reply to gross, personal insult.
The great W,nnebago must have chan.
ged bis plan Of getting rid of US, for the
original programme was to drown us, or
duck us until we would consent to leave,
as be did the man who settled on some
part Of the many thousand:.cres he claims
the right to zpreempt. But the mocca,in
Chief does us quite too much honor thus
to make us the Representative. of that 3D.
vancing tide Of civilization which is fast
driving him to the head Of Salt River.
At late meeting in Wilson's Hall, HAYS,
Of tho Land Office, made W the text ofhis
profound harrangue; and it is we'll enough
that the moccasin clique should thus fight
under their true colors. They arc the rep
resent.tives Of the woman whipping, baby

great object Of their party il to extend
and psrpetuate the institution of woman
whipping, and it is al right that woman
should, to them, represent the force with
which they have to contend. Mobbing

Gratis, and We ike to see them stick to their
