At l..s week. at the call Of the Mayor, va well

of feet 70 to indicate enthusiasm. Able and
patriotic speeches we're made BY their Hosors
Judges Campbell and Cbristiancy. BY Hon. 7.
n. Cooley, Hon. Geo. w. Peck, and Colonel A.
w. Williams. The sentiments expressed by the
speeches we're heartily responded 70 BY the au.
dencs in the manner above mentioned, but We
would much rather have seen the approval OF
that audience taking on different and more
practical form.

troops, and ir wants them moo. We must follow
