Dir. ]. T.. Norris was called upon for
speech. Mr.. n. took the stand, and remarked
that he had not much to say further than that
the Democratic prospects were good. He had
heard q letter read from gentleman in the

mcclellan and Pendleton) are elected their
first efforts will be to put stop to this cruel

Mr.. N contended that it became the people
of the District more than any other to endeavor
10 settle this question, tor their lands and
homes for miles around were made desolate
and laid waste.
The speaker then lauded the Democratic
party, whose members Were, he said, called
Copperheads by the Republicans; but he would
assert boldly that if any man called him (the
speaker a Copperhead he would tell HIM he
lied; yes, he would do more than that-hit him
in the mouth aud knock his teeth down his
throat Applause

else the acts OF the administration, and would
have spoken perhaps still longer, but one of the
officers of the association, who was sitting i'm
mediately behind the speaker, slightly pulled
him by the coat tail and whispered to him that
other speakers were waiting when he took his
seat.
The association was then addressed by T. G.
Clayton. T. b. Florence, and Col. Alexander,
after which the meeting adjourned.
