speech of about twenty minutes. He showed in
the first place that the resolutions passed in
Maine in iS49 was passed by a free soil major
ity of one, a Buffalo platform majority of one
single man, and that the Democratic convention
of the next year r~cpudiatcd it as reasonable
doctrine. He showed that in 1S53-7-the Rcpub-
leans and Democrats joined and passed unani-
mously the bill for the organization of Wash
ington territory which bill contained the SELF
same provision which in the Nebraska bill was
denounced as proaslavcry doctrine; he asserted
that in 1850, the compromise measures were
brought up in Congress by Henry Clay and his
compecrs and that in 1852 both parties went be-
fore the people pledged to discountenancc slavery
agitation and that DR.. Frisbie sustained this doc
trine by voting for either Pierce or Scott; he as
erted that there were two bonds in the archives
of the state given by Mr.. Eads upon which suit
might be brought and the money collccted-and
that the cry Of Eads was merely a stop thief
cry. .
After Mr.. Eutchins had concluded Berry the
imponderablc, arose and began to make a bred
Scott argument upon which the audience almost
to u man incontincntly left, leaving Mr.. Berry
talking to bare walls. This closed the first
night of the canvass and the Democracy are
proud of the victory they achieved. Even in
Mitchell, that hot-holc of ncgro-sutlrage Repub-
licanism truths were told on Monday night
which will 60 far to leavcn the whole lump.
Sr. ANscAn, Sept, 7th, 1859.
The canvass at this place last night passed
OFT we'll, the Democratic rarty making at leu st
twenty-five votes. The discussion opened on
State politics and was continued on general po-
htlcal topics until about the last ten minutes of
Col; Jenkins speech, when he put the question
to Mr.. Sabin as to whether he was a Know
Nothing or not, saying that he had so under
stood him to be. Mr.. Sabin said he would not
answer until he had the proofs. Mr.. jenkins
then read a letter from a man whom Mr.. Berry
acknowledged to be a man of ~vcracity and good
standing charging Sabin with being a Know
Nothing and asserting that he had at various
times given him the grip and passwords of that
order. Col. Jenkins then took his scat and
Sabin sprang to the platform. He said that the
man who wrote the letter was blackcr than his
satanic majesty; that he was a %falsitier, a black
hearted ungrateful villain, a liar, a man who
had ran away from New York State and sneak
ed from his creditors: q man he had done more
for than any other man in the State and a man
whose word was not commonly received in How
ard county. At every sentence Mr.. Sabin
brought his fist down upon the desk and the
house resounded with his ilnprecations and blows.
He literally howled. AS to the question of
Know Nothingism he admitted that he went to
a lodge in GAINESVILLE one night but that he did
not JOIN as the concern was not in working or
der. He did not know what the lodges were or
what they did. After making this explanation
ne went into another spasm, and repeated again
and again the vilest epithets and charges in re-
gard to the signer of the letter who it is proper
to state is a member of the Republican party
and stands high in the confidence Gifts members.
Mr.. Berry attempted to sustain Sabin and
made q violent onslaught on Mr.. Davies of your
place who was at the meeting, saying that he
had done Mr.. Davies dirty work and knew
that Nh. Davies was the author of the letter in
question.
Hon. c. L. Clausen here arose and said that the
proof was certainly heavy upon Mr.. Sabin and
that Justice to himself and the party demanded
that he should clear it up. He said that he was
a Republican but could not in any way support
a Know Nothing and he hoped MI. Sabin would
be able to indisputably disprove the charges
brought. = a|n...
Mr.. Sahin is making Democratic votes fast
and never was a better thing done than when
Sabin was induced to stump the 59th Rcprcscn-
~tativc district.
I. I. Davies, was then called upon to define
his position; when in an able patriotic speech,
he showed that the Republican party, by it's
position and nomination in this district, had
drifted over to Know Nothingism, and that he
though a Republican, was fortunately, or unfor-
tunately,a foreigner, and that having left the
land of his nativity to enjoy in undisturbed
tranquility here, life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness, under the shadow and protection of
the institutions of this Republic, because. those
privileges We're denied him in the land of his
birth, he could not bow down and lick the hand
that would ~ostracise men, and chastise nations
because they were not born in America. His
remarks went home to the foreigner with telling
effect. ge ag-7 tr adg gr oaa#1e sea :
Some one in the crowd, then Intercepted Mr..
Sabin as to whether he had ever made the re-
mark that a negro was better qualified for self,
government than a foreigner. MI. Sabin re-
Dlied that if he had ever made such a remark. II
