Capt. Willard announced that there
were plenty of vaca1 seats forward,
and we are sorry to say many of them
remained vacant, although there were
sufficient number standing in the
back of the room to have nearly filed

Mr.. Whittlesey, late Secretary of
the Senate, moved that all editors,
whether Democratic, Johnsonian, Re-
publican or Radical, be invited to
take seats on the stage Judge Law
was then called out and made one Of
his learned and logical speeches..
He said he was particularly pleased
to again meet his Democratic breth-
rem In this old Democratic Temple,
where they used to assemble during
the dark days of Know Nothingism
where he and others stood in front OF
the Irish, the Germans and Catho-
lies, to protect them from the bloody
Know Nothings. The right spirit
prevailed then, and the Democracy
had triumphed. They had then re
ceived nine-tenths of the German
vote, because they were then their de-
tenders. They had then met with g
success never equalled. The same
spirit was necessary now. They
must be tvigilant and watchful
and they would bring every man who
felt that Dimecratic doctrines were
right, who believed. the doctrines OF
the National Union party were right
to Join them, and at the October
election they would achieve glorious
victory. As sure as the sun set las
night, he said, the Democratic party
with the Union men who had joined
them-for he was sure the Dimecrats
had not changed, and he had not
would restore themselves to power
and place. The Judge portrayed the
beauties of peace, explained mos
lucidly the differences between John.
son and Congress, discussed the
question of representation in a most
learned manner.
For instance" said he, " if there
is section where there is one thou
sand white men and five hundred ne
groes, the Radicals declare that il
they don't let the negroes vote, onl.
five hundred of the white men shall
vote. He was ready to take in the
Rebel States without conditions. w
