cite last Monday, Judge Wade NJ. Jackson
IN The chair and Il. L. Boon Secretary

lion. find OHniaing any expression of opin.
ion on State policy.
Mr.. Alexander Aldriage was the selec.
ted Speaker for the occasion, and made a
thorough democratic speech, which means,
unbounded gensraliiies in favor Of dsmocra-
cy, and the same kind Of denunciations Of
every thing opposed 10 democracy. He
sung The old song, that the salvation Of the
country depended upon The success Of The
demOcracy-that they were the only na-
tianal party, and that they stood shoulder TO
shoulder, a solid phalanx against Black Re-
publicanism; t, all Of which, it Is only nee
essary 10 sag, that in !;.e Houss Of Repre-
sen'a'ives, during all Inc reeen, struggle
Tor Speaker, that party never vas able 10
bring its whols strength 10 besI en- any
ui:s Of their party FOR Speaker. and by their
divisions, are responsible for the election
Of Black Republican Speaker.
He declared for Claiborne Jackson for
Governor, but failed 10 tell whether he was
Rail Road or anti-Rail Road man-Banl;
or anti Baak-but the name had magic in It,
becsuse old Andrew foggei the British al
New Orleans! Good democratic reasoning
that.
J. W. a Patterson being loudly called
for took the stand at The conclusion Of As
speech. ?. was excited, anl as he progress
ed, we learned lis excitement grew out Ct
certain lies and misrepresentation that had
been circulated against hin by lis democratic
brethren, the chief Of which was, that he
was an independent candidate FOR the Leg
slalar., and was striving TO break down the
party. He spoke at SONS length on mat
tiers personal 10 himself contras!sd Squat
fer and Popular Scvereign.y-argued tie
Bank question, Equality of Rights, Sc
The personal matter we emit, and on the
other questions, we failed 10 comprehend
his drift. He boldly charged upon the de-
nocracy, that they had no State Policy: one
wa, for Banks ard Rail Roads, and another
against; the people ought to be cautious who
they sent 10 JeEers0n-,he Legislature had
dono notl.:ss--Old Howard paid large
revenue, and 20: no benefit, because hor
representatives nai!her asked anything, nor
demanded what was her rights, YET sic was
paying her money for the benefit Of others
lie thought and acted fer hlmself-would
DO no dirty work, and was, promoted CIT"
--tiat is defeated when he was : candidate,
and Pnshed aside whenhc waited 10 redeem
his character, we suppose by making a.
other race. He asked nothing, waniei
nothing, but il his views sui;el the PEG
pie, and they united III cali upon hin, lie
WIS 4, their service. ard won!l net stop
10 ask who was CT he Track, c. who put
him there.
Il. L. Boon Icing called On, declined in
favor of some older psrson-hoped some
one would speak-.hought some democrat
ought 10 answer Paiierson-and called for
Herndon.
Herndon teak the stand, and at once en-
dorscl Patterson and his speech! Fl. spoke
at grea! length, and with much vehemence.
We have no room to follow liz ram5iin.
remarks, and it must suffice t.at he sung
songs Of praise to The demOcraey-they
were The hope Of The Union, and all that
kind OF bOsl, which no body believes. and
which, has utterly failed to come within lie
axiom. t'that lie well stuck to is as good
as the truth" When Harrison was can
didate they sung the same song-ditto when
Clay was a candidate-dit,o when TAYLOR
was q candidate-d;to when Scott was
candidste-dittc when Fillmore was can
didate: the song is stale, besides being a
nonstrous lie and SANDER,
The SUCCESS Of the democracy, and their
administration OF the affairs of the Govern
men, is what he's done the mischief, ard as
they see their own party now broken and
