The California mails bring the report Of
speech made BY a. W. Weeks, At Sacra-
mento, which seems, like everything grown
in California, SUI geaeris. Here is a speci-
men OF it:
at Is scarcely necessary that | should
speak Of lincoln personally, for there are
hundreds here within the sound Of my voice
who know him, and know him well. They
know him to be high minded honorable,
and honest; one who, in all the walks Of
life, has shown himself to be every inch a
man-and that il six feet four Of him.
Laughter and applause, He is !. man
who, under all circumstances and in every
position, whether driving IN ox-team over
the plains Of Illinois, or beating stephen A.
Douglas ia a campaign in that State--for
he dis beat him--whether doing any or
all Of these things, has done it ncbly, and
has done it ably. Applause.l Then there
is one other audidate-Hannlbal Hamln
--of whom | wish to say word, as |
came from his State, and have the homer
Of D personal acquaintance. Major ellis
says that he has cot an old speech that |
somewhere in this city, years ago
III which ! abused IIamlin. Well ! don't
know but ! did; for when belonged to
the Democratic party used to lie like the
deyil. Laughter. l had to DO i. |
now plead the statute Of limitation in regard
to that speech. It j. four years ago since
made it, and he can't draw iton me now.
But, to the subject. | have known Ham
lin from my youth up. When but sixteen
years old, / went out and stumpped the
State Of Maine With him; that is, he made
the speeches and held the horse. Great
laughter aud applause He was Demo,
crat then, and myself belonged to that old
nartv whom il gas party.
