CARROLL, Of Memphis, who was recently sent
to grass in little sei-to in the p. r. with
old ]. B., came up to this city 10 look around,
and the DOUGLAS boys wanted to hear him
talk about the Baltimore Convention, the
Administration, and the Memphis Post Office
And this is show come" the DOUGLAS Democ-
racy to have meeting at the Market House
Saturday night
Having eaten light supper, smoked two
pipe. of tobacco and drunk three glasses Of
ice-rater, we walked down to the Market
House to see what was going on and hear
what was coming out. We got there toe late
to secure front seat. The biggest sort of q
crowd-one of the largest we ever saw in
the Market House-was crammed into the up
per end of that building, and Col. CARROLL,
in pair of gold spectacles and linen
coat, was making a speech. We learned in
cidentally that he had just been giving some
body hts for reading him out Of the Demo
cratic party. 1t was probably the CAio'' and
Anifriean Indeed, we heard 3 man say it
iras the Lhioa dnd american. When we got
into the outskirts of the crowd, he was giving
history of the way things were made to work
at Charleston and Baltimore. He afterward
touched on Sguatter, Popular, and the other
STYLES of Sovereignty that are dealt in by the
Democratic party.
Col. CARROLL. speaks very slowly, but he
speaks like a man of education, who has
been around and knows what he Is talking
about. He made what would be called
very sensible speech in any community.
and his political friends, Of whom there
were a good many present, were greatly
pleased with it, and applauded it to the
echo.
When Col. CARROLL quit speaking and
got off the meat-block, there was a general
call for JONES' Not JOHN, but GEORGE
make such popular whisky. Mr.. JONES was
a member of Congress for a long time, and
one of the best, too, that the Democracy Of
Tennessee were ever kind enough to give us.
He looked after the public expenditures so
closely that they (not the expenditures) call
ed him the Watchdog of the Treasury
a title, in these corrupt times, he ought to be
proud of When the crowd had got tired Of
calling for JONES' and were about to call
for somebody else, Mr.. J. r. MCCAIN, of this
county, got up and in the name of Mr.. JONES
complained of being too unwell to make a
speech. He was authorized to say that Mr..
JONES was for DouGLAs, and intended to be
for him if nobody else was. Mr.. MCCAIN
represented Mr.. JONES so gracefully that
the crowd thought he could make speech,
and "hollered at him" until he turned in and
made one. 1t was not a long one, but it was
very good for the DouGLAs Democracy, what
there was of it.
At the conclusion of his speech, Mr.. Nc
CAIN announced that there would be meet
ing of the friends of DOUGLAS in one of the
rooms of the Colonnade building, for the pur-
pose of organizing DOUGLAS association.
