Junkins, delegate from Pultney township,
Belmont county came forward and made
most excellent speech. No report can give
one any idea Of the Drs inimilable style,
and we can only give an imperfect synopsis
oi his remarks. He said:

o! the Democracy as exemplifed by the
depth and volume Of the curses bestowed
by the Douglas delegates returning from
Charleston, against the Breckenridge sece-
