parcel of old maids and ugly married women assembled
at McDanels Camp Ground in the County OF Campbell
the Sth inst The and managers OF this Camp

sinners is held-anOther, barbecue with dancing ana
theatrical performances is held aud lastly the ball
wound up with Locofoco barbecue, tinge-foot pine
top and bust-held whisky fist and skull fights, &c &c
&c.
About IL o'clock the crowd had assembled, and was
variously estimated from 200 TO 27000 and was called

and the ladies and gentlemen and the gentlemen and la
dies present. who hereupon, in loud and audible man.

| them all to vote the Democratic ticket He prayed in
especial manner for the great W Democratic party,
and not tor the salvation Of souls he wont 10 do.

uack wards and forwards for three hours sometimes
like whip saw, then like an ui-!ashioHcd up aud down

have been taken for a far break.
During lis three hours cNprdium, he scarcely used
