The Carrollton sun. (City of Carrollton, Parish of Jefferson, La.) 185?-1???, 1860-10-06

THE Speaking5m Clinton La.-1 mere
WAS Grand turnout of our cltlzens, from
ali narts Of the parish, on Thursday last,
the day appointed for public speakk,ng5 by
the friends and supporters OF Donglas ana
Johnson. There was some dlsappolnt-
nent upoh the non-arrival OF Messrs.
Durant, Clark and McCay, but that gave
Mace to a very general satisfaction when
r was known that the old tried champion
IF democracy, whose voice has always
heen heard in behalf of our noble cause,
was present to do good servlce-MaJor "A.
S. Heron.
. ssemblv at the public stand, graced by
the presence of fair and lovely women.
We have not the space to dwell at length
mon the address which Major Heron
delivered, occupying as 1t did, upwards OF
two hours. For clear reasoning, able ar
oument. and eloquent language, 1t was
decidedly the abest effort that we have
listened to. That such was the opinion
of the large audience that was present
was manifest by the enthusiastic piaudtts
thew bestowed during his speaking,
At 3 O'Clock, Col. Sparks, who had
made an appointment to speak upon the
same dav, spoke at the same place. Inc
audience of the morning were in attend
ance, The Bell and Everett party have
in the Colonel an able advocate. "A GOOD
reasoner. and an ardent supporter OF his
nartv's nominees, with ready supply OF
anecdote. he cannot fail to interest, while
at the same time, he inspires good humor
amonp his audience, which is really re-
freshing to any one who has had the pa
tience to listen to the outpourlngs OF a
Breckenridge orator.

contrast to the day when the Yanceyltes
raised their pole and had their speaking.-

The Savannah Republican reports that
Senator Toombs made furious speech III
that city on Friday night last, which was
| condemned by men of all parties. He
was particularly severe on the Irish and
said GAS for Pat, l never asked you to
vote for me you 90 for Douglas, 60 on"
| We think that great allowance should be
| made for our Senator, and our Breckin-
ridge friends generally. They see "the
| haadwriting on the wal,'' and they are
getting desperate. Let us therefore,
Ideal gently with the erring" and soothe
! their irritation as much as possible. They

tor Toosnbs noble hearted and generous
man, buthe is so impulsive and so indis-
Icreet,, we fear we never shall be able to do
as much for him as he deserves.
. Want to take Advantage Of their o'0's
! JHdrkAWe will dissolve the Union say
the Yanceyites, if Lincoln is elected. To
make that excuse plausible one, gentle
tmen, YOU must first try to defeat Lincoln.
You can beat him, if you do not you con-
nive at the wrong which you intend to
sieze upon as the excuse for committing
greater wrong. If you want united
south for disunion, firstdo all you can to
save the Union with honor; then if sheer
necessity drives you to the lastresort, all
will be with you, but yoa can't be per-
mitted to elect Lincoln and then take ad-
vantage of your own act to precipitate dis
union-Rtchm0nd Wig.
The Concord Stands I'd Yentilates some
doubts whether Gen. Pierce is in earnest
in his support of Breckenridge. 1t says
he has done nothing to aid the movement,
and that all his friends are for Douglas.
