The decline in gold on Saturday and Monday
unsettled the marke: for most kinds of produce,
and prices becam nominal, to a great extent. but
both owners and buvers Withdrew from the mar
ket, the former under the impression that this de-
cline would be but temporary, and the latter that
il would be unsafe to operate under existing cir
cumStances, and the best course was to wait for
further Developments. The Government was in
the market for a considerable amount of meat,
but we notice that while the Commissary adver-
tiSed for new bacon he took old. believing that it
was as good rs new. Now this cannot be the
case; but even if it were, then he acted u~nwiselv
in taking il at the price bid under his advertise
ment, for he ought to know that he paid in this
way fully two per cent. more than he could have
gone into the market and bought it for.

upon his return home from the scene of his Con-
gres>ional labOrs. was Il proud tribute to a faith
full public servant. He did not reach Terre
Haute until the afternoon OF Saturday-the day
appointed for the Democratic meeting-and so
great was the anxiety to see and welcome their
gifted Representative, that hundreds had congre-
gated at the Depot long before the arrival OF the
train When he landed in their midst. and the
tall form of the "Young Sycamore" was plainly
visible. every one seemed bent on welcoming him
in person, aud il WIS with difficulty that Mr..
Voorhees, could work his way through the crowd.
Ii ever we had doubted his popularity with the
people, that demonstration OF their devotion
would have satisfied Us. A procession was
formed at the Depot and marched to the public
square. Here another immense crowd awaited
his arrival. Cheer after cheer rent the air, when
Mr.. Voorhees, appeared before the people who

him that the sea of upturned faces before him
was significant of the popular Endorsement Of his
public acts. and more gratifying than mere word
OF welcome.
Mr. VOORHEES,, in a half hours speech, spoke
eloquentIy and f~eelingly of the greeting extended
him, and of the continued dangers which besei
the good old ship OF state. He referred to the
legislation of Congress which sacrificed the last
vestige of popular freedom into the keeping OF
one man. The sword, purse and liberties OF the
people had been wrested from them and lodged
in the hands of the Executive by the passage oil
the indemnity, bank aud cunscription bills. While
denouncing these fragrant violations of the rights
OF the people. and exposing their favoritism and
injustice. he impressed upon his hearers the dutv
of standing by the laws, 5, long AS the ballot-bos
was free and the Courts remained oDen. Sub.
mission was better than revolution. There was a
point, however, where forbearance was no longer
a virtue, aud il remained for the advocates OF ar
bitrary power and apologists of oppression to
demonstrate their respect for law and order Dy
sdoing as they would be done by"
1t is impossible for Us to give even the spirit
much less a synopsis. of Mr.. VOORHEES, speech
lit elected the unwearied attention and frequent
applause OF his hearers. Other gentlemen al
dressed the meeting, but we were denied the
pleasure Of listening to their remarks Alto
gether the meeting was highly gratifying to BEN
ocrats as it was full of meaning TO all who study
the popular will and bow to its b~ehests.-l0reen-
