The LECTURE LAST EvENlNG.-The sec.
ond lecture of the independent course was de-
livered last evening by Mr.. Mortimer Thomp-
son, better known as ''Doesticks." He spoke
a rhymed discourse on "Pluck, which SEEM
ed to us worthy of the author of "Puribus-
tah." Mr.. Thompson told the audience at the
outset that he had no claim to be called a poet
and he told them the truth. No man with any
pretension whatever to intellectual develop
ment is less likely to be mistaken for poet
In illustrating his subject, he made use of Blon-
din and his teats, wove in the ballooning, and
portrayed the recent pugilistic affair in Cana
da. He made one hard hit on fashionable
amusements; and he also gave the audience
some very good, if not very original advice,
particularly in relation to the matter of court
ship drawing his counsels, as we understood,
from the lessons of his own experience.
We must not omit to notice literary crit
cism which fell from Mr.. Thompson's lips in
the course of this address. He gravely pro.
posed to express the honest conviction of mine

Thompson may be afflicted with such poverty

this is no reason why he should impute the

HoN. B. F. BUTLER ON THE STUMP.

Mr.. Butler, the democratic nominee for gov
ernor, has taken the stump AT a ratification
meeting of his party, held in Charlestown,
Monday night, he was present, and made the
principal speech. 1t is very proper for him or
any other candidate>t0 address public meetings
during the CANVASS. True, the ready speaker,
whose tongue is sharp and cunning of fence,
ls,R1ot always pre-eminent in qualifications for
responsible Office; and, frequently, the best
qualifications are not accompanied by the gift
of stump eloquence. Patrick Henry, with his
matchless power of oratory, was not by any
means matchless executive officer; and
Thomas Jefferson would have lived and died
as man of no Importance to the public, if
there had been nothing but his gifts as public
speaker to raise him above his fellows New
ertheless, if a candidate for office feels moved
to talk, let him talk and if he can speak well,
so much the better.
We cannot say that Mr. Buffers speech at
Charlestown does justice to his reputation for
cleverness as a special pleader. 1t is true that
he has very bad cause to plead but he is ac-
custoned to defend criminals, and therefore
should not seem bothered by the very bad
character and rather hopeless prospects of the
national democracy" His speech should
have been cleverer, and more like one of the
ablest and most impudent criminal lawyers in
the State. But he will doubtless improve. 1t
should be remembered, in excuse for him, that
he is comparatively new to the business of
very desperate pro-slavcry hunkerism, and
that he cannot at present be expected to do up
that business in the style of such veteran SOL
diers of fortune as Benjamin F. Hallet
In this speech he endorsed the administra-
ton ofMr, Buchanan, protested to believe that
under our federal constitution pigs and slaves
are on the same footing both being property
which no territorial legislature can "confis-
cate" and gave his statement of the doc
- Unpopular sovereignty. He says =

with description of the feuda state of
France, and traced its history to the revolution
of 1889, describing in vivid manner the con-
dition of society at that time, and the causes
which led to the overthrow of the government.
