Id5 was a Democrat, but he knew bet

than his daddy, and that he had quite
an exalted opinion Of his own talents,
(Which, by the way, are a mixture Of
impudence, ignorance and brazen.
facedness, added to some puppyism).
Like all gaSsy and dishonest pohti-
clans, he read garbled extract from
the Democratic Platform Of 1S4S, to
try and prove the Democracy to be abb
olitiouists, but he failed miserably, not
only in that, but on every subject he
talked about. lie failed to show that
tue Republican party or its leaders are
in favor of anything for the good oftho
common country, or to give any good
reason why the people should support
them. Especially did he fail to ex-
cuse Horton for voting for the reduc-
tion of the tariff OF '46 on iron, and the
almost totalrepeal ofthe duty on wool.
The young man had taken too much
of load on his shoulders, land some
thought lie had taken rather TOO big q
load in another place.
The remainder Of his ehusion was
made up of personalities and black
in abusing Messrs. BiDg'

Mr.. EDIroR:-Sinco my last com
munication to you, the Navigator and
his brother, Timothy R., has beer
among us, to seeifthey could not teacl
the "Benighted" how to vote.
On Tuesday evening last they spok.
here, the Navigator opening the per-
formances by whining out that"the
time had come when this goyernment
must fall into other haDds." 1--WE
think that should it Gdl into such
hands as his, that "grOdt would be the
fall thercof,.') "He, ,1aid that the Re-
publican party WIS not sectional, but
that the DemoGatic party aS,--two
assertions, NJ. Editor, that no sane,
truthful man will make. After
whining some time longer, he declar-
ed th2t tue democratic party was stag
geing on it's last legs, and in connec.
tion with legs, made use of very i'm
PROPER and indecent language for any
man to use in the presence of ladies.
His next effort was to try and split a
hair, as he termed it, and said that
there was not as much difference be.
tween the position of Douglas and
Breckenridge as splitting o hair
(My next neighbor here suggested
that tile old fellow was better conver,
SAINT With Lemp.pulling than hair
eplitting)
Jones concluded by asserting that
the Republicans were not in favor Of
negro equality; that they were in ia,
vor of u tariff, and also free home
stead: but he quite forgot to clear up
the black record that his party has on
the first assertioH, or to prove, by any
authority, that they were in favor Of
either the Others.
We have just Jones "woRD" for
these things, as we'll as his own word
for his own honesty. He says he is
honest, but from the statements he
made here lie must be very dishonest
Or very ignorant.
1t was now Stanley's turn, and he
run over very much the same twad-
die that Lacey did the other evening,
tried to humbug us about negro equal
ity, the tariff, homestead, &C., talked
about the girls and boys, and having
bis ears cut of, made very good
'jack" of himself snorted, brayed,
and subsided.
The meeting then adjourned, with
a request to all the "Lincoln men" to
remain, and an intimatioh to those
who did not intend to vote for Lincoln
that their presence was no longer he
ces.ary. AS your humble servant
has no intention OF voting for the rail
splitter he took up his hat and left.
And, upon careful examination, the
aforesaid performers" found that
they had si9 Lincoln men left, includ-
ing the President and Secretary OF
their meeting.
From such speeches as we have
been entertained-or bored-with by
the Republican stumpers this fall, l
suppose that when they come to count
up their Lincoln men they will find
them very much like angels visits
few and far between.
Ihave occupied more of your valua-
bic space than intended, but | hope
you will excuse me. | want these
fellows TO understand that there is a
"child among them taking notes"
when they are trying to hnmbug the
honest voters. Yours,
