, ment which must aflet any young man in maxim
an off-hand speech, after such on orator, aud be
fore such ladies', as the wish of his feowcitizen
had made it his lot to follow and address on tina
occasion. He then proceeded to disssCt the oppC
sitiOn party of YazOo.
He said that he was there, as private indivd
ual, who had been deserted by the party to whic
he belonged, an with which he had consistent
co operated. so long as it recognized the obliga
tons by which its members, under oath, ha
Joined it, to declare his political independence
. and to thank-for himself and for the good au
true men of the American party-thoss men VIII
had assumed the right and appropriated the powe
of disbanding the American party: to thanl
them for being freed from the shacklcs of party
and for being left to the free exercise Of thei
own judgment, as to their future political conduct
He was there to protest against such subserVi
ency as had characterized the proceedings Of thu
late assembly of individuals calling themselves
the Composition party" to cry aloud ana SPAR
not in the exposition Of the motives Of party
that had surrendered its sef-respect, had forgot
ten and disregarded its obligations, and had ever
forfeited the charter of its own existence, and
had set itself up in new business without LIQUID
ating the liabilities of tue old concern-forming q
new partnership without notice to non-resi-
DENTS" or even the members of the old firm.
He was there as the administrator "de bonis
non" of the American party, claiming to have
right to summon all persons interested, to appear
on day certain--to-wit: ON the first Monday OF
October next-to show cause, if any they could,
why his final account should not be audited and
allowed. And with view to making such final
settlement, he wished to advertise for sale certain
assets which had come into his hands by reason
of his fidueiary character Of administrator.
That he wished to sell and dispose of the assets
in his hands, under and by sealed proposals, after
the manner of letting gu: email contracts" by
the General Government, or as the contracts for
the building and construction Of bridges, turn
pixies and causeways were let out under the police
regulations of county. In other words, he
wished to know what he would be charged to have
taken off his hands the articles, consisting in part
as follows, to-wit: large assortment of edicts
and pronunciamentos, Catholic and anti Catholic
manifestoes, Cis.Alpine and ultra montana: reso-
lutions, with and without pretermitting clauses
platforms and rumors Of platforms do, do ; all Of
Zollcofer's speeches, with notes and addenda by
Jrs Clemens; Mr.. G. s. Yerger's letters on the
Temporal Power of tho Pope, accompanied by a.
learned and elaborate disquistion by another com
mentator, on the moral obligation cf an oath, tho
administered without proper legal authority, with
copious notes from Paey'S Moral Philosophy. Also
a revised and beautifully bound copy of E. Wolff
Henlsrsons expose Of Know Nottingham; Mr..

he wished to dispose Of at any cost, besides some
D her articles too tedious to mention, which he
v ould reward any gentleman to take of his hands.
He presumed that as the ladies' we're always in
search of something new, they would have no use
or such Anticipated relics. He was not disposed
o support the "law and order" candidate of seven
to represent this whole district in
congress. He felt no inclination to cast his vote
or man whose political portrait combined for
is delineation, all the prismatic hues. He felt,
therefore,, compelled to discard Henry s. Foote,
Who has sought every point Of the compass to
ttain temporary political notoriety, and had
AIKEN every side of every question to indulge his
for gassing, and vote for Ohio R. Sin
,eton, whom be knew to be a consistent man, al
Torking man, and honestly devoted TO the inter-
SITS of the people Of his District Foote had
wed everywhere, and he feared his affections
light be too much dissipated to be beneficial in
he result of their prOmptings. Mr.. Armistead
losed, leaving his audience amused at his wit, |
LEASED with his good sense, and highly applaud
az his whole speech.
