Political MEETINGS ATGEAss NALLEY.-On
Saturday evening last, says the Nevada Dem
ocrat, the Douglas, Breckinridge and Lincoln
parties held a meetingat Grass Valley. The
Douglas meeting was altogether an i'm
promptu affair, called at Smiths hotel as Il
club meeting, but the numbers attending
were so great that the house was soon filled
and they were compelled to adjourn into the
street. The meeting was addressed by Messrs
Palmer, Dibble and Watt, who were fre-
quently interrupted by applause, and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed during the
evening. Not less than five hundred persons
were present, and the speaking was kept up
until near midnight The Breckinridge meet
ing was held at Hamilton Hall, and ad-
dressed by Judge Searls. Though they had
exerted themselves to get up an imposing
demonstration, it was quite slim affair
only about hundred and fifty persons being
present. The Lincoln meeting, we are in
formed was sinner than the Breckinrdge.
Grass Valley may be set down as good for
three hundred majority for the Little Giant.
DEMONSTRATION AND BAnBEcuE-Th Dem

held a meeting last Saturday, at which pre-
liminory steps were taken for a grand politi-
cal demonstration and barbecue to come of

SPEAK NO I'LL.

Nay, speak no i'll, kindly word
Can never leave sting behind; !,
And oh to breathe each tale we've herd
Is far beneath noble mind.
Full oft a better seed is sown,
BY choosing thus the kinder plan;
For if but little good be known,
Still let us speak the best we cam
Give us the heart that fain would hide
Would fain another's faults eface;
How can it please e'en human Prlde o
To prove humanity but base
No let us reach higher mood
"A nobler sentiment of mani a
Be earnest in the search Of good'
And speak of all thesbest we can.
Then speak no i'll, but Intent be a
To others failings as your own 4
If you're the first fault to see,
BE not the first to make it known.
For life is but passing day. &. =
No lip may tell how brief its span;
Then oh the little time we stay,
Let's speak of all the best we can.

Expresses an Opinion.

Miss Ann Thorpe "has an opinion
as is an opinion. :" Listen to her: :
Life is a humbug, and all the men
and women are huns. Happiness is a
word Of three syllabIes, found only in
dictionaries. Friendship is pleasant
union union Of persons on amicable terms SO
long as the convenience Of self=inter-
est shall serve. Hope is a bunch of
turnips eyermore temptingly dangling
about twofeetb before your, the donkeys'
nose. Faith is something of divine
nature, not to be exercised upon per-
sons or things earthly. Charity be-
gins at home, and covers multitude
of sins, Perfect content is found only
in two cases-in a man dead drunk in
the gutter, or fighting bully thor
oughly whipped. Wealth is bright
three cent piece in the hands of poor
child, or millions controlled by a miser.
Comfort is a condition Of physical en-
Ejoyment ardently desired and seldom
attained. Trust is vain confidence,
the exercise of which has often been
the ruin of friends, retail grocers, and
newspapers. True greatness is sue
cess, right or wrong. Patriotism means
hard work for our party, and true pa
triots are those on our tide. Love is
a strange. bird /; it sometimes flies with
its sad victims far up in the ETHEREAL
regions of joy, serenity, and infinite
content--then drops him down, down,
with bruised and bleeding heart into
the profoupdest depths of Hades, to
writhe with eeaseless torture. Con
stancy is adhering to one. friend o.
lover till new or better one is found
True religion is pure und heavenly
and rarely, very rarely, found on earth
Therefore, I conclude that life is
humbug, and not worth half the troubl'
that is taken to preserve it."

.CAMPING Our" AT CHARLEsToN.-
A committee of the Indiana delegation
to the Charleston Convention announce
that they have made arrangements
which that all who desire to visit
Charleston can be gratified at an ex-
pense not exceeding fifty dollars, that is,
can 90 and come back, and be lodged
and fed in Charleston within the low
figures stated. The committee say
they have provided a capaeious and
very serviceable water proof tent, like
khose used for Floral Halls at State
Fairs inthe west. This tent will ac'
commodate five hundred men. This
caravanseFy they will have pitched in
Charleston, and ready for the reception
of its nomad inhabitants in season to
save them from all fleeing at the fiscal
shears of the Polmetto landlords
Provisions will be forwarded and placed
therein, forthe rejection Of the boarders.
The committee promise, however moth
ing more than shelter from the weather;
and suggest that each member of this
extemporised community bring with
him covering sufficient for his com
fort when he lies down, or the drapery
for his couch wherewith he shall enrap
his form, as heresigues himself to the
enjoyment of pleasant dreams about
the success of his candidate.

TNTEGRITY.-One of the most pleas
ing qualities of mind is integrity. Let
us aim to cultivate this trait of charac-
ter, and we add much to our worth in
whatever department of life's varied
scenes we may chance to miugle. A
man can not long prosper, or what is oi
more importance, secure the respect or
love of bis fellows without integrity
It is the basis of credit-the security to
which the world will look in its deal
ings with individuals, and open the &C
count accordingly. A thousand desi.
ces are needed by the artful man te
cloak his designs or hide his failures, q
which the honest, upright man knows
nothing. It is on the principle that
number Of falsehoods are necessary t
prop a single untruth, that it may no
fall. the man of integrity stands up II

TUE SPEAKING ON THURSDAY NIGHT--fhe
BELL. and EVERETT lally of the 9th, 9TH and sth
Wards of this city on Thursday night, which
we mentioned briefly yesterday, was alto
gether one of the most spirited of the cam
paign. The immense crowd was pervaded
throughout by enthusiastic ardor, and the
speaking was able and encouraging. Col l..
n. TEMPLE led off for an hour in one OF those
searching and logically compact arguments
which equally distinguish him on the stump
and at the bar. He was followed by GEORGE
BABER, Esq, of Sumner, in speech, which
though brief, was ehaste, eloquent and effect
i've. He is young champion of great abili
ty. Gen. 10. G. PICKETT responded to uni
versal call, in one of the very happiest of all
the noble and thrilling efforts of his life. 1t
was full of devotion to his country, and
marked by wisdom aud profound insight
into the great issues now before the Ameri-
can people. He was followed by Messrs. COL
LIDAY of Wilson, McCoNNIco. of Williamson,
MARTIN and MULLINS, of Bedford. each of
whom made rousing appeals for the Union,
and for the Union ticket.
The people appear, at last, to understand
thoroughly the nature of the issue presented
to Lbem and are resolved to stand by their
country against its enemies in both sections.
We assure our friends everywhere that our
friends in this region are up and doing.

MIR. Rreckinridge's Position.

HOn. L. o. B. Branch. n member of Con-
gress from the Fourth District of North Caro-
lima, has written letter, which we find in
the last Raleigh Standard, in which the posi-.
ton of Major Breckenridge onsthe subject of
slavery in the Territories, is defined. As Mr..
Branch is an ardent supporter of the Brock
inridge ticket, we have a right 10 presume
that he speaks by authority; we therefore ask
critical attention to the following exposition
Of Mr.. Breckinridge's creed, by the North
Carolina Petersburg True DEM
Ocrdt. --s
''He is not in favor of Congress interfering
directly with slavery in the Territories, on
pretence of protecting it, or on any other
pretcnce. But he holds that the STAKEHOLDER
has right to take his property to the Terri
tories, aud any law of Territory, tending
to impair his right, or deprive him of it, vio-
lates the Constitution. That the proper re
dress against such laws is by an appeal to
the Courts. And that when the Courts have
decided in his favor. it is the duty of the
President 10 have the DEGREES executed. If
the President has not sufficient means under
existing laws, it is the duty of Congress to
pass laws, giving him such additional means
as may be necessary.
"Mr. Breckenridge was in Congress, and
aided In the passage of the Kansas and Ne
braska bill. He has never said that bill was
cheat or delusion. He stands on the
great doctrine of non-intervention, as en-
bodied in 1.-THE only doctrine in which the
South can find security, or the country can
find repose."
