regret our inability to make a verbatim,
report Of his remarks on this point. This
portion Of his address was exceedingly
well.timed and appropriate, and full OF
"thoughts that breathe and words that
burn" His denunciation Of the Radical
party were none the less scatbing because
ornamented with all possible courtesy and
great elegance and eloquence of words.

briefly but very plainly indicated the pr(
per course to be pursued by the Democracy
of Texas, and advised unity, energy, aGfiv.

of the Prospect of victory in November,
and Of the carly dsenthrallment of the
people Of the South from military law and
Radical dcspotism. His effort, though
brief and made under state of physical
fatigue, was most happy one, sustaining
his well earned and honorable reputation
as correct and able debater and states.
man. lie was frequently applauded during
the course of his remarks, and retired
from the stand amid the deafening cheers
of the people.
The occasion was real awakening of
the sleeping spirit of the people, and will
be the means of creating an organization
that will unite as one man all the friends
of the white race in opposition to the gor-
gon enemies of the Constitution and the
Republic contemplated by the Constitution
and maintained by the suffrage and affec
tions of the American people. Let the
suggestions made be acted upon promptly,
openly, zealously and fearlessly; let the
Democracy of Texas arouse themselves and
Radicalism, and they will be vastly instru-
mental in preventing the Butcher from
ascending the throne of monarchy reared
upon the ruins of all that distinguished
our country as the asylum of the oppressed
from all other lands, and made its flag the
symbol of triumph wherever it was kissed
by the breeze Of heaven, and its name
mighty as that of immortal Washington,
the fash of whose uplifted sword was the
radiance of success. To this end, nothing
within the power of Throckmorton, and all
others such as he, will be spared to rescue
the South from chains and bondage and
force the Legislature and departments of
the government under the egis and within
the orbit of the Constitution. He is no
''summer soldier" When the sky is black
with warning clouds, and hurricanes are
abroad, he puts on the full panoply Of "a
hero in the strife" he is imbued with that
old Roman valor that
-"tears success
Fen from the spcar-proof crest ''
OF rugged danger"
and he will follow the wolf of Radicalism
to the innermost recesses Of ite secret den,
probing its vile carcass with the javelins
of wit and irony. Under the leadership of
such men the result of the crusade Of the
American people cannot be doubtful-the
hour of the downfall of the Inidels is
