porters, saying that they will find more diff
Guilty in reporting him than Mr.. Sumner. He
had not been weeks in preparation, and they
could testify that l had not handed the news
papers my manuscript three days in advance.
Those stereotyped debators will soon get
foored when they come in contact with the
impromptu orators of the London Discussion
Halls.
CHAws UP TWO NEWSPAPERS.
One paper, the Chicago Tribune, calls my
speeches gas! wrote them, and they pub
iished the letter, saying, "Yes;" intimating
thereby that they were both luminous, and ex-
hilarating Is not gas preferable to tallow
candle? Another ,one-'nasted newspaper,
with a one-story editor, said that l was trying
: to lead the conservative element OF Massachu-
sets against Charles Sumner, reminding him of
a donkey in a china shop.
HIS LABoRs AND HIS DESTINY.
Imoved on the strong instincts of my nature
long before any party organizations in Boston
L have paid my own advertising bills, my own
posters, aud my own schemes | have stumped
the State, New Bedford, Fall River, Taunton,
Haverhll, Lawrence, Lowell, Salem, and
Lynn-my object is to redeem the State; to
drag the Boston merchants out of the aboli-
ton mud they have sunk into, so that the sun
shine of free speech may fall upon them, and
then shall hurry back to carry out my desti-
ny over the sea.
LAVENDER KIDS AND PATENT LEATHER.
1t was amusing to see them 1.-THE old mer-
chants) come up to him, he said ON change,
with solemn faces, TO give advise. Anything
about the nation? No. Only that | should
have more OBJECT with the old merchants, if
did not wear lavender kid gloves! Another
thinks that my hat is worn little too much
one side! and that patent leather boots were
not exactly the thing for business men. just
as though it was any of their business what
clothes | wore, or how l walked.
BLUsHING BUT MODEST BOAST.
have done more for Boston, more for Mas
sachusetts, more for the nation, during the past
fe wmonths in Europe,-than the Boston mer-
chants have during the past few years.
THE MILLIONAIRE.
l want no office, no money. 1 am indie
pendent of the world. Ny %ite has Just had
an elegant house presentedto her by her father,
er. in Madison Avenue, New York. Some time
! Isettled 100000 upon herand my chlldren,a and
intend to make IA million sterling out OF my
Horse Railway Patent in England. Therefore
L am not dependent on any man to dictate how
l shall wear my hat, or what color shall be my
gloves. As for the abolition newspapers, the
range of their guns can never touch debater
who for eighteen months has stood fire proof
against the Editorial Battlers of England.
The wonderful condescension of the great
genius of discussion Hall" the wonderful
accommodation of the "lghtning Train'-the
"flst Train," is wonderfully exhibited in the
fact that he could leave schemes involving
million sterling, and wife upon whom a hum
dred thousand had been settled, to enlighten
the common people at two bits a head'
GRAND PERoRATICN.
Two hours have gone so quickly have
omitted much | wished to say. Mr.. Sumner
is IA man of small grasp, small range of intel
lect can talk more sense, and commerce,
and finance, and statesmanlike thoughts in an
hour than he can in week. Why don't he
meet me in debate, fhe dares to, instead of
sending out the two lunatic members of his alb
olition firm?
Probably the brilliancy of intellect displayed
in Music Hall, has never been equalled unless
by the intellectual pyrotechnics of Monday
evening last, or, possibly, by Maddocks, the
Penobscot genius, in Bowdoin Hall at Bruins
wick, or some of the best efforts of Daniel
Pratt, Jr., the "Great American Traveller"
Envious men may assert that the "fast Train"
has got off the track, or should be stcitched off,
but the great majority Of clear-headed, highly
cultivated. and thinking men will continue
to regard him as the prodigy of the age! He
said that he long since laid all modesty aside,
and for fifteen years he had taken the advice
of no one,-and his audience cheerfully gave
him credit for telling the truth. Mr.. Sumner
evidently dare not encounter his genius fice
to face. Its thought by some to be re-
challenge to discuss the combined originality
Of ideas" is allowed so long to remain unre-
sponded to. Probably Mr.. T. will attend to it
in good time. One Portland gentleman, in the
exuberance Of his admiration, exclaimed, He
is the WIswELL of Boston.' Could higher eu-
logy be pronounced?
