MEssRs. EDrroRs FL had The pleasur-. of
hearing the candidates for elector in Thu lis
triet uhe 7th) at Henryville, Lawr CT
county, on Friday, the 21st inst. Mr.. OK
had the "go," and for an hour and tw ~
minutes he exercised himself terribly upon AIR
Bells record; he foams, rants and charx in
such manner as would induce the passes y
to believe that be was prosecuting bis - ,Tsf
enemy for some dreadful crime. He EVEN
goes so far as to say he hates Bell. and never
expects to associate with him in any ~
until he meets him ia h-l-{he seems to be
certain that be Cox will go there, and on
tn At point / will not take issue with him J
Mr.. Cox seems to know that he is not abb to
cope with John C. Brown upon the yitafis-
sues of the day. therefore he spends his ti.ue,
talents and lungs in endeavoring to infiame
the preiudices of the people yea, he wakes
vociferous and vindietive upon trifiirg, in
significant charges aud assertions. hoping
thereby to drive his competitor from the
main issues of the canvass.
When Mr. Brown arose all eyes were turn
commanding voice fell upon the ears OF his
auditory. the attention even of his political
enemy was riEeted. His mild, gentiemanly
appearance, his keen, fearless eye, clear and
cogent reasoning, determined and dirpdssion-
ate eloqueHce, command respect alike from
friend aad foe, and carries conviction home
to the heart. Mr. Is. triumphahtly rindica-
ted Col. Bell from all the charges brought up
by Cox; proved they were pfejudiced and
groundIess-that Cox had. in his freuzy,
charged upon Bell for voting in Congress
upon the Mexican war. when he (BelD was
not a member Of Congress. In short. never
saw man get such esstigaion in my life
a. Brown gave Cox at Henrysillc-cansed
him CO. to be quite restless and fretful, and
frequently to interrupt Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. Brown paid handsome compliment
to the ladies who had honored them with
their presence, and wound-up with an elo-
quent appeal for the Union, the Constitution,
and for the statesmen and patriots John Bell
and Edward Everett.
We are proud of our Elector he is "a noble
fellow, gallant champion, and patriotic
soul-stirring orator; he is an able, dignifed
debat one Who addresses himself to the
understanding of his hearers-who seOrns to
panier to the prejudices of the populace. We
are perfectly satisfied here that John G.
Brown is able and willing to bear triumphant
ly the standard of Bell and Everett in this
District. May he live to enjoy the honors
that await him in the future
Messrs Editors, cannot close this scrawl
without telling you of the good work going
on in aad about Henryville. On Tuesday
night the Sth, We had a glorious rally of the
Union folks at that place. No great prepa-
rdIions, no flaming hdnd-bilIs told of the ex
pected rally; no distinguished speakers were
advertised to be there, but men, women and
children, TO the number of from 400 to 500
gathered together upon short notice to re-
joice at the Frightening prospect of the pres
erTatiOn of the Union under the lead of Bell
aud Everett. The speakers for the occasion
were Vim. z. Moore, our sub-eieetOr, and j.
ID. Pennington, Esq. The most interesting
feature of the occasion was a beautiful Bell
and Everett ballad sung by two beau
tiful little girls, about s or 10 years of age,
who came forward and sang with grace and
dignity that would do honor to young ladies
in their teens. All honor and praise to the
patriotic Ladies of that portion of our coun
ty, for they too are alive to the interests and
success of the Union ticket. Especially do
We give praise TO that excellent lady who
instructed those little girls to rejoice in song
at the increasing popularity of our Bell. of
Tennessee, and Everett, of Massachusetts,.
Our camp-fires are brightly burning, and we
are working for big gain for our ticket in
this county. LAWRENCE.
