ABOLITION A GRAND Raj
LIZ AT CALAIS

Large flaming bills had been posted up
for some weeks announcing that Hon. b.
). Cowen and other very distinguished
speakers would address the citizens OF
Calais and surrounding country on the
political questions of the day on Tuesday
the 22d OF September at enc o'clock, Z.
NJ. The good women of the village Gor
there are many good ones, although much
in favor of the curly -heads) had made
every necessary arrangement to entertain
with the best grub" the multitude that
was expected on that occasion. And the
accommodating citizens OF the other Sex
determined not to be at loss for a con-
veuient house in which to hold the meet
ing and thinking that the multitude would
be so great that the Temperance Hall or
school house would be entirely too small
to accommodate the crowd; they cleaned
up and seated the large and commodious
packing house Of Mr.. Benninghouse.
The morning came and beautiful
one it was. All nature seemed to smile
and all the Brough-i,es rejoicod in anticl-
patton Of the glorious demonstration
which is much calculated to revive their
dropping spirits. And then they ex
pected the logical reas oning OF Cowen and
the soul-stirring eloquence OF Morrow
would drive the frightened copperheads
into their holes so far that they would not
dare again to make their appearance un
til after tho second Tuesday in Ovto-
ber.
The morning passed, mid day came and
with it the two great apostles OF Aboii-
tionism, Judge Cowen and the Hon. Mar
shall Morrow, bourn by couple of
i sprightly gray horses being the same color
OF the horses used by Christ and his
: apostles some years ago. l suppose In
this these modern apostles wish to initiate
their ancient brethren as nearly as posi-
Bile, for there is but u very slight differ
ence in their mission-the ancient ones
desiring to free all manking from sin and
the modern ones desiring to free then
cotored friend. Time passed. One o'clock
came, and with itcame three men OH horse
back and one on foot. Two o'clock came
aud with it one more man OH horseback
aud one on foot Great sensation among
: Abolitioni. IS One was heard to say tina
. "he was much like the man who said he
:. was never right, for when he had mea
he had no bread, and when he had breaC
he had no meat" So he said it was will
him in attending Republican meeting
tl.is year, tor whenever there was GROVE
there was no speakers aud now We hav

three O'Clock came, but it brough
= ncnc OF the multitude with it. So the,
h concluded that the school house woui'

m This large (and I assure you very en-
+ thusiastic) audience was addressed b
IN Judge Cowen for about one hour, afte
10 which Hon. NJ. Morrow informed theI
;, that he would like to have more OF b
i own party present, as lie was Dcmocrs
but not Vallandigiam one, and if the
,e would drum up crowd he would sta
of and address them at eandle-li shting.
re Accordingly, at the appointed tim
I'd about twenty persons assembled to liste
be to Mr.. Morrow.
,s Judge Cowen, unwilling to let such
splendid opportunity pass, chokod h
Hon. friend off and proceeded to make
speech Of about one and half hours
length, in which as usual he made sever
h Misrepresentation. AT the close
Judge Governs speech Hon. NJ. Morro
T. proceeded to address the audience in h
a usual argumcntative C!) style, which W
he interspersed with some very eloque
NO strains, with now and then spicy ane
n dote about what happened when he was
of ''member of the Senate"
lid He very persistently lahored to pro
ip, that he was still Democrat of the Je
on fersonian School and that the Valla
ny dighamers had gone of and left him..
th But the good citizens of Calais knew th
ng be formerly stopped with Democrats al

st, ultra and oldest Abolitionist in the to,
