SAINT Hiae. Esq. President of the day,
shen introduced w. O. Forrist, ESQ.,. who
took the stand. Mr.. F. explained the pc.
sition of the Republican party as regards
internal improvements, rivers and harbors,
the Pacific railway, the homestead law,
Kansas, &c. He illustrated the present
state Of the Democratic party, and its sub.
servicncy to the slave power, by comparing
it to a huge serpent whose head vas at the
south, and tail at the north. When the
southern head (the slave power said to the
tail, (the northern Dernocrats,) lie still,
then it laid still; when the head said tc

After another gun, AID music by the
band, II. L. Burnett, Esq, addressed the
meeting. IS it was nearly the hour fol
dinner, Mr.. B. necessarily confined himself
TO few subjects. He devoted himself prin.
cipbily to discussing the platforms Of the
two parties, and the position of the candi.
dates for President and Vice President
When lie had concluded, the meeting ad.
journed to the residence Of MI. C1ingan,
where two long tables were spread IN ar
arbor, covered with a Dinner which was
not of the kind described by Hon. David
Tod, afterwards alluded to. Mr.. Hutchins
Il his speech. Suffice it to say, the dinner
was both abundant and excellent.
AT 2 o'clock, the people again assembled
IN The gTOre, when Hon. John Hutchins
took the stand, He first paid his. respects
to Gov. Tod and his new work on Dietetics,
then discussed the general political ques-
tons, making n Of the best speeches we
ever heard him deliver, proving to his hear
ers that he was amply qualified to fill the
position which he occupies. -
He was followed by Hon. J.. D. Cox
Mr.. C. confined himself almost entirely to
examining the truth of the position taken
by the Democrats in Hubbard, (they are
nearly all breckenridge men) that slavery
is right in itself The monstrous falsity
Of this notion he exhibited in strong light.
Just before he closed his remarks, he chal-
lengcd any Breckenridge man present, to
ask any questions, or to come upon the
stand and discuss the subject; whereupon
John Cramer, ESQ.,, of Hubbard, came for
ward and addressed the meeting in a speech
Of half an hour. Mr.. c. was bold and
frank; asserted that slavery was right
best for the negro, and best for the whites;
that the negro was inferior, a sort Of cross
between the monkey and human beings-
At this juncture Mr.. Brown, a very intel.
ligent colored man Of Hubbard, walked ur
on the stand, and Mr.. Cramer took him by
the hand. Brown is a half blood, and hap
pens to be fine looking man, without any
of the characteristics of the negro in his
features, and Mr.. Cranner was taken aback.
He admitted that Brown was a good deal
of a man, and the audience seemed of the
same opinion. Mr.. Cramer did as well as
a man could who attempts to defend ini
guilty, but left terrible loop holes in his de.
fences.
After he had closed. c. W. Smith, Esq,
lwhe had just appeared on the grounds
was called for; he came forward, and gave
his particular attention to Mr.. Cramer and
his arguments. We have heard before, o.
men being skinned alive, but We never wit

operation; Charley did not leave a yestigs
