C. G. CARrExrER would enlighten The
people, and democrats and AM were in
vitsd to turn out and "hear the other
side." Accordingly At the time appointed
in company with large number Of our
Democratic friends, We repaired to the
hall, fully prepared to witness the utter
demolition Of the Democratic party, and
be IN unfortunate observer Of the ''chaw-
ing up" of Mr.. Co.'s, who il was snnounc.

With this assurance We we're satisfied. and

least the "singed cat" had belied its char

two hours, was the dullest. dryest. stupi-

falsehood we ever had the misfortune of
listening to. His "chsrges" were like
those Of bob.tsiled animal in fly time

After Mr.. Carpenter closed, Mr.. Pen
dleton was called out. and to some extent
succeeded in patching up and smoothing
over Mr.. CO. bungling speech, which he
(Mr. P.) characterized as "plain, blunt
and broken" Doubtful compliment, by
the way.) Some Of his statements, how.
ever, were extremely inconsistent and i'm.
probable, but We have neither time nor
space to alludc to them this week.
Altogether the meeting was rich affair
