ed honor, it but tenfold enhances my diff
dence and distrust, thus to follow in the

are yet ringing in my ears. And, fellow
citizens, I assure you nothing would induce
me to respond to your call, under such dis
advantages, but lofty faith IN the cause

BILE, but fearless champion of that glorious
cause, which has redeemed, regenerated and
disenthralled crushed and bleeding worldp'
Here he paused, with tremendous clapping
of his hands and shouts of oh, my, go
it my -" calling his own name. The
fancied applause subsiding, he resumed !:
"Chosen, gentlemen, by the Democracy of
my county as their standard-bearer in this
contest, l have planted the proud banner, in
victorious triumph, on many a hard-fought
field. WELDING the pouderous mace of
Democratic truth, have cloven my oppo-
nent down through head-plate, skull, brains,
backbone and bowels, and left him like a
shapeless mass of thunder-riven, Jove-split-
ted humanityp Just at this impetuous
rush of his oratory, loud laugh from his
listner behind, overwhelmed him with dis
comhture but he recovered the next mo-
ment by the following apt quotation from
his favorite author "Angels and ministers

An Amateur Orator.

The Clarksville (Tennesse) Chronicle tells
a true tale upon one Of the fresh-fedged or
ators of that prolific country, which is good
enough to keep. 1t was told the narrator
by an eyewitness. He says:
Himself and another prominent citizen
were opposing electors in our country dur
ing an exciting period in our political his
tory, when party conventions and gather
ings were quite numerous. One of these
came off in a, neighboring county, during
the progress of their race, at which Andy
Johnson and Aaron Y. Brown were announc-
ed to speak. On the designated day the two
electors turned their Rosinantes towards the
convention, and, unaware of each others
intention of going thither, one was some
miles in advance of the other, but riding at
a leisurelv pace as eonsorted with habit OF
/ oratorical improvisation to which he was
! addicted. was overtakeu by his opponent
who recognizing him ahead, rode stealthily
up, to surprise him by his unexpected prox-
imitv. Just as he was about to make
known his presence, a sudden clapping of hi:
opponents hands, and vehement shouting
of his name, arrested his intention at, and ht
listened for the denouement
After some moments pause as if waiting
some imaginary acclamation to subside, hi:
opponent threw himself back in the saddle
and thus begun his exodium gracefully ges
ticulating the while to his viewless audience
Fellow citizens, thank you most warml.
for the high compliment of this enthusiast
call to the stand, just after it has been vacat
ed by such distinguished orators bu
whilst feel deeply grateful for the unmeri'
