Mr.. Pixies Speech,

Mr. Pike addressed our citizens on Thurs
day evening last, ON tho political issues Of the
day and acquitted himself admirably. 1t was
the first time that he ever addressed an Els
worth audience, and the people turned out
au4 gave him crowded house.
Mr.. Pike did not spend the time allotted
for him to speak, in discussing matters that
have no political relation to the pending cleo
ton, but at once, after r-capltulating the
points that all parties agree upon, he stated
very coneisely the points Of difference between
the two wings OF tho Democratic party and
the Republicans, and then arraignsd these
fragments Of u once proud party, for trial
upon the several counts of the Indictment
which has been rendered against them by the
Grand Inquest Of tue people. The first charge
was = that this party has labored, and is
still labJring to extend the slave system over
free territory" His proof Of this fact, run
Mn. through two administrations, vas am
pc and conclusive. W reasonable or un-
frsjudice4 pers n can dispute this proposition
Of TIE Hon. Speaker, or can honestly say
that the proof adduced did not fully and
overwhelmingly sustain thc charge. His dis
section Of popular s1yerci -nty, as illustrated
by the successive and continuous declarations
Of is reputel champions, North and South,
and Of the platform, was keen, sarcastic and
able. = Was alsl, the definition Of the speak
or, a. to what true Interpretation Of the real,
living principle of popular sovereignty is,
..ssentei - by the audience as being the on
y sound view t. BE- taken # the doctrine
Tais etrine, as understood by the Speaker
i, hat tie people IN very !1.'!resentati'e Dis
triet IN the Union, have something t. say in
regard to the institutions which shall be es-
t!blished in the territories, while they are
such, and Representation should reflect those
views. All the people Of all the states are
:, s4uatter soyereisus in this respect, and
nave something to say in determining the
character Of the territories while remaining
as such The people have not given up this
right To the fec who may happen to first &c,
