On Tuesday evening last these gentlemen
ressed large crowd of persons at Mo-
Ldft Hall in this place. Samue's opened
b speech of an hour. vandever followed
r an hour and half, and Samuels closed
y half hour speech.
AS the newspapers for months have been
Dadcd with the line Of argument used by
each in defence Of his respective positions,
It is not our intention to give details of the
Hcches Mr.. Samuels' first speech was
Deral defence of the Democratic party,
ITS usages, principles, platform and cand
etes Mr.. Vandevcr did his best to mis-
hderstand the position ef Judge Douglas,
and made his best points in replying to
what never has been asserted by Douglas,
pr maintained by the party supporting him.
His speech was cunningly arranged mass
Of half quotations and unauthorized infer
Ienccs from the speeches Of Douglas. To
prove that Popular Sovereignty" was not
I supported by the Democrats, he asked Sam
uels if Territorial Legislature could repeal
i an act Of Congress authorizing people to
assume Territorial powers Samuels re.
kplied as all sensible men must reply, NO
4 this, Vandcver grew facctious and tho
Republicans cheered most Justify. W.
knew that these modern lights believed tina
party convention is higher authority thar
be Supreme Court but the idea that
4 Territorial Legislature can repeal an act o
=. Congress is a step in advance of all the ab
urdity we have heard in this comical cam
paign. The very decided Endorsement give1
70 Mr. V. by his friends present to this rev
evelation is proof that their notions o
popular independence cannot be distin
guished from state Of society where eacl
man is law unto himself Conscience il
the guide, and private judgment the arbite
"a doctrine that dreamers talk about, ant
practical men in all ages have ignored. Mr.
vandever was pretty trough on Samuels
but when "Our Ben" gave him the bencfi
Of the closing halfhour, the audience wer
satisfied as to who had the eloquencc, tn
sarcasm and the argument. We neve
heard more scathing rebuke of publ
speaker. His half quotations were pointe,
out, his charges against Douglas on tn
Homestead question and his plasterin
Of llamlin on the same, were shown to b
merely the electioneering stories of gen
tleman who wants to be reelected to Con
grcss. Vandever had quoted Gcorgi
paper to show that Douglas was in favor {
Slave Code; Samuels turned the tables O.
him by quoting the McGregor Iress in T:
ror Of negro equality at the polls, to prov
that Vandeecr was of the same opinion
This hit was received by the house wit
applause long and loud. Indeed the clt
sing speech was received with irrepressib
bursts Of cheers at the closing of nearl
every sentence. Democrats are deighte
with their eloquent champion, and are grow
ing confident that his election is p-obabl
Mr.. Samuels has scarcely doubt Of ii
success Of Douglas in Iowa.
