made political speech from the balcony
of the Edwards Honse, the street was
crowded to hear him spout aboli,ionism
for the success of the Republican candi

Last Friday evening, he spoke here
again; and what falling off was there, m ?

hear him Three dozen. big, little. old
and young. would cover the number in at
tendance. He spoke on the war. and asked
for volunteers to fight for the government
Was an election Of more importance to
Republicans than the honor. the safety and
perpetuiiy Of the government? May be

If Mr.. Packard had given notice that
he would deliver an address to the Wide
Awakes, the house would doubtless have
been crowded with enthusiastic listeners
ready TO cheer every EXPIRE ssion which sa
vored of abolitionsm.
