Pm. There bring no further special business
on hand, Gen. Wood introduced to the notice
of the audience DR.. SAMUEL BARD, q Louisiana

tor of the Oaaehxa Monroe. La.,) Register. The
Doctdf, being escorted to the stand, was receive
cd with tumultnous applause. He spske for
two hours and half and 60 charmed and en-
] chanted his audience that each and every man
seemed to hang breathlessly on his words from
beginning to end. 1t was an ovation Of intel
lect. 1t was m ovation to intellect. An ora
torical genius rose up in our midst and spell
hound US. A Union man in its. truest accepta-
tion, Southern man in it's most paisl9tio sense,
vigorous supporter and stalwart pillar Of the
Constitution, the speaker passed over the well
traced out ground Of public discord, and while
giving each man bis just due of excellence,
using no invective, no slang, no low flung COM
ontsu 10 That IL oil
lie painted and exhibited Lincoln, (Hamlin he
faid he would not deign to notice,) Bell and
Everett, and Stephen A. Douglas in such strik-
ing style as to occasion at times roars Of laugh
ter and deafening applause, and at others that
sad weeping sensation that man feels for the
fallen, thoughtlesa, yet deeply guilty. The
speaker scanned the political horison-we think
with prophetic eyc--and Jbld his audience,
with the bo1dness and certainty which truth
and justice inspire. that Louisiana was as sure
for Breckenridge as Mississippi, though not by
so large majority, as Mississippi always event
the whole tlgure," that thesou'h, with possibly
but one exception, was sound on the eoosc ,
and would poll the true ant! telling vote, and
that in the North, old Pennsylvania would moi
forget what tbe South Lad done for her son
BrcnAS'...', but would pay us back in our OWL
J ccaln; md that safe reliance and perfect conf
iepce might be placed in California, Oregon
and other Northern States named, but not re
membered by us.
Tho speaker was argumcntative, eloqucn
and witty. and though consuming two and {
half hours time in the delivery Of his discourse
he seemed rather to charm and Chain with fet
tiers Of gold, than tire his audience. His audi
euce frequently applauded him, and though OF
ten done it was done timely and deservingly
In i'll health ourself we took no notes Of tn
speech. Friends may possibly serve and sup
ply us.
