Jet of the meet ting. John Murphy, candidate
for County Judge. was loudly called for, and ad
dressed the meeting for nearly an hour in an ear
nest aud patriotic speech. He couclusively prov

sert his country in this crisis; that good men, re-
gordless OF party, should stand firmly by the Cow

Hon. Ephriam Garter, the nominee for District
Judge, being introduced, made cool, rorcible
aud argumentalive speech Of nearly tNo hours,
which was llsteGcd 70 with marked atteutiou-
! The speaker addressed his remarks principally to
Democrats who we're gliding away into the terri
bic vortex of treason, explaining the dilercuce
between INV genuine Jacksonian and Douglas De-
mocracy, and the sham alliance known as Peace
Democracy. His speech was calculated to open
tho eyes OF those who Imagine they con be loyal
citizens aud yet support the ticket headed by
Downoy, Bigler Weller, Robinson Il CO. Mr. G..
having been Democrat of the Dickinson-Butlcr
school, could consistently claim the right OF
couusoling his fellow Democrats on the momen-
tous questions now before the public. His ar
gumeuls were unonswerabe.

torncy, addressed the meeting in n short, pointed
