| We were not present during the first part of the
meeting, SO cannot speak particularly of the
| speeches made by Messrs Capers, Mcconnell and
| Harry Hays Of this city, but from what we heard,
| and from what we know of these gentlemen by
their previous speeches during the present can
| yass, we can state that one of them was want
| ing in patriotic argument or eloquent appeal on
| this occasion.
/ 1t was whilst Col. Field was speaking that this
| writer arrived on the ground with the party from
Brashear City. The Colonel was speaking in his
strongest and most powerful strain of argument,
/ and resumng after the interruption caused by the
arrival Of the railroad party, at last brought his
address to close, amidst the heartiest plaudts Of
| his hearers.
The next and last speaker was MIR. Adolphus
Olivier, who had accompanied the Brashear party
down the road. Though the hour was late and the
rain had commenced sprinkling, the crowd refused
to leave, and Mr.. o. was forced by his friends to
take the stand, just to say few words any how
This he did and though impeded by his hoarseness
and visible debility, (he result of his late labors
throughout his own section of the State,) and
| making his debut before new audience under
these necessarily dsadvantageous circumstances
he still made deep impression, and won from his
hearers ali the applause that was due to an orator
SO winning in his and so fervid in his strains
of eloquence. #mz.Mzz
When Mr.. Olivier concluded the rain was falling
lightly, but the crowd was still unwilling to dis
perse. Wr. Wm.C. Quirk being on the stand, was
shouted for, and responded, not in a speech, but
by singing, Alone patriotic song which suited
very neatly, after the fiery peroration of Mr..
Olivier. Mr.. Qurk sang as melodiously as OF
yore and when he got through the meeting gave
three cheers and tiger, and concluded to adjourn
The Algernes with their band of music escorted
the 0rleanians to the ferry boat, where there wa
a long and merry interchange of cheers for tn,
Union, for Bell and Everett, for New Orleans, fo
Algiers, and SO on. The brass band accompanied
and serenaded the city crowd over the river, AM
upon the landing of the boat the rain was falling
SO heavily that the party dispersed without furthe
ceremony.
