Discussion.

DAeN uhoAuns
The Hon. J. r. Ella, Radical member Of
Congress from New Hampshire visited Vim
chester on Monday last, for the purpose Of in
struetingthepeoplein their duties. The Times
says
Gle occupied about halfhour in his open
ing. by going over a long rigmarole as TO how
he fed his 'keows down to hum, how much
hav and c0ttou-Seed meal he fed them. how
much milk they gave, etc, and a number Of
other things pertaining 10 his domestic affairs,
which seemed 20 possess very little interest
for his audience Launching out then into the
sea of politics and morals, he declared himself
a devoted follower of VIM. Lloyd Garrison,
and then his speech resolved itself into the
usual stock in trade Of down-east spouters-
New England educational and intellectual su-
perjority
THE lateness Of tie hour scarcely allowed a
fair division Of time with the Conservatives
but loud and prolonged calls brought TO the
stand the Hon. Andrew Hunter, of jefferson,
I'm other DAYS the old war-horse Of the Wing
partv. We regret that we can only glance at
the remarks If Mr. Hunter. Taking up the
educational subject treated by Mr. Ella. he gave
q graphic sketch Of the New England system,
which brought down the house in thunders Of
applause. There are few men who can use
the scaIpel Of sarcasm with such deXierity as
Mr.. IT. and his speech carried us back 70 the
DAYS when he and Henry Bedinger locked in
friendly discussion.
" His excoriation was unmerciiul, and laid
bare the maluguity and Ignorance Of our
