cry word and that grace of and beauty Of het
oric which distinguish Mr. Preston orator were
manifested throughout his entire remarks. He said
great deal in a short time. His speech full OF
thought egg is of meat. Not word out of
pace-cvery one told with effect We have rarely heard
as much said in double the length OF occupied by
Mr. Preston He reviewed the positions Of the candidates
and argued with great force that it the duty Of the
South to unite which of them is best calculated
to defeat the Republicans and stay their onward pro-
gress In the present dsorganized state of the Demo-
cratic party he conended that that John Bell,
and urged all lovers of the Uuon to to his sup
port. He argued the Union question with great ability
showing the strong, the powerful motives there for
preservation Of the Federal compact and how deporsbe
the results that inevitably follow its severance. We
sincerely wish every dunionist in the land could have
heard his remarks under this head But hayn time
