N. Hornish in bis opening speech was ven

whether be WAS elected or not he viii prOsa.

During his opening speech, be bad great
deal to say about Greay, Wendell Phillips, Bin,

strong ground against the Confscstion Act
snid it was palpable violation Of the Constih
ton in three distinct points-the leading one .,
which was, that the act denied the accused {.
"day in Court" and thus cut of al right Of de-
Tense. This, said Mr. a., was gross violation
Of the Constitution. he stood BY the Conssitu.

nunciation Of Greeley, Phillips, &C., be bad %.
one word of abuse or denunciation for JefL d.
Wis and his rebel cut-tbroa: minions. Not I
word--not hint. Nay, 30 far from this be
seemed pleased ct the recent Federal disasters
in front of Washington. ''
Mr.. Wilson occupied his hour and half IN
q calm, mastery and argumentstive speech
He reminded Mr.. Hornish that be a. J had 4
word Of abuse and ,denunciation for anybody
and nything, except jeff Davis and the wick.
ed rebellion carried on BY him. .'al 8as.at
M. Wilson took up the Democratic platform
about which Mr. Hornish had not said one
word) and riddled it completely. He showed
where he did, there was not rebel sympathizsr,
or z G. c. in the whole district who would
not vote for Mr.. q. He expected none such
to vote for him. sf v4j

each one separately, and showed why be bad 20
voted and all the facts in the case, and as he
presented the facts in each vote, be called on
the audience to say whether he had done righ:
in so voting, and you ought to have heard the
hearty response of aye, aye. that wen. up from
the crowd. - '
Mr.. Hornish attempted TO reply, but failed
entirely. He spoke just twenty minutes, said
his time was out, and begged the people to e1-
cuse him, and would be much obliged TO them
if they would let him off!!! This they refused
to do, 90 he closed cp by attempting TO run q
political parallel among the Generals in the
army. he said no Republican General had yet
met with succees-sbas oil our successes were
under Democratic Generals. just at the close
he said that on some proper occasion be would
undertake to explain and defend the Democratic
Platform and felt himself fully competent V
the task. One would naturally suppose that q
set public discussion would be proper occasion
to explain ard defend Platform on which .
candidate for Office stood, asking the people to
vote for him. But 60 did not Mr.. d. tbink-he
preferred to give that Job the 20 BY, and did 20.
Prior to the discussion, there was side scene
took place in the Office 0: one Charles Negus,
Of whom you may have heard. The faithful
were assembled there, and among them were
Mr.. Hornish and Lord Casey Of the "PlaiDdeaL
er." Hr. H., it would seem, had some notions
of propriety and honesty about him, that mus:
be got rid Of in some way. So be was told plain.
ly be must forego all euch notions--he must
pitch into Wilson-must abuse him, BLACKBOARD
him, or they, the faithful would NOT support
him. HorDish bad IN idea the Union could Be
saved "as it was." Col. Thompson said that
was all DID nonsense. Another of the Faith.
al be wanted was ito have Wilson whipped
"and be must be whipped" Eea r-.~-5
Thus you see, what sort of spirit fills the
minds Of the Mshoneyitee. Hornish who seems
to have some marks of q gentleman about him,
10 forced under the lash to become BLACKBOARD,
and degrade himself before the public in order
that these men may have chance 70 vent their
malice and hatred toward Nr. Wilson, whom
they we'll know they cannot defeat BY fair and
honorable means We shall 80 whether NJ.
Hornish will continue under the lssh, and do q
be 10 told, under the threat that il hs dent do -,
they will ignore him. p.
