Virginia and Republican Massachusetts, in
regard to foreign born citizens, showing the
constancy of the Democratic party in up
holding civil and religious liberty.
The speech of General SHIELDS abounded
in effective points. His dissection of the
Republican platform was splendid piece Of
sarcasm, and excited the utmost laughter
and applause. We were taken by surprise
by his superior oratorical powers. He has
powerful and well trained voice, happy
command of language, fund of ready wit,
q fervor and dignity necessary to the perfect
orator and these, combined with his extern
sive knowledge OF political affairs, render
him most successful popular speaker.
This was the first Democratic meeting
here in the present canvass, and it produced
a good effect. The Republicans mean to
concentrate large share of their speeches
in this district. The Democrats have moth
ing to fear from discussion. **

as follows of Judge DOUGLAS:
He Judge Douglas) will be to Pennsyl-
vania what General jackson was in days
that are past. The same enthusiastic join
ing of hands among the Democracy, and a
similar magnificent majority will attest his
popularity with the people.
He is a man whose attachment to the
Union is beyond cavil, vindicated by no ver-
bal declaration, but by lifetime of service.
He is just such champion as the Democra-
cy must delight to crown with the laurels of
victory. The expedienrs of his opponents
to obtain little personal prominence at his
expense, are emphatically "played out"
We do not advocate him because we consider
him the winning man." but because, in
our honest judgment, helought to win. We
feel the sharp necessity of just such man
to save the country. He is the peoples
friend-opposed to tyranny, no matter what
shape it may assume. He is in favor of the
people making their own laws. Like
brave sailor, he has weathered the storm in
many contest, and knows just where the
shoals lie. He fears neither Scylla nor
Charybdis, but will sail the good ship "Con-
stitution without scratch upon her. He
is man tried and true, to whom the inter-
ests of the State may most fifty be commit
ted. He will cement the Union by total
abnegation of internal strife. He will nail
to the mast the flag of consolidated De-
mocracy, and, next year, from Texas to
Maine, shall 60 out the fires of sectional
strife, and Black Republicans will then
"bid the world farewell"
