ANOTHER SAaPLE.-Last week we gave
a sample Of Corperhoad lying, in the way Of
extracts from the correspondence of the Du>
baque hera!d, from this city. We give an,
other sample below, from the Herald of the
10Th inst. The truth with regard to the at.
tendance q. Fouke's speech is simply, as we
are informed by Mr. Seymour, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Clerk of the District
Court, tlat about two thirds Of the seats were
well il!ed-;Ae actual conr would not ex-
coed 290, including Republicans, boys and
unna.uralized foreigners. The covert sneer
at lie women Of orr town is perfectly char
acteris,ic. There are but few women Of re>
spectabii,Y who could have been induced to
attend such meeting a: all. The four hun
dred Democratic torches are Of but little use
without men to carry them. The actual
number Of uniformed L Tanners at this date,
in ,he county, Is $50. The uniforms cost
| 81 each, while the torches carried By the
Democracy cos, abou, IS cts. That indi-
Gates yerY Clearly the difference in the spirit
and enthusiasm of the two parties. Says
the Herald correspondent.
Notwithstanding the bad, muddy, wet
and sloppy weather, there was very large
turn,oat to the regular Democratic Piow
BOYS meeting .son Thursday. In fact, the
crowd was SO large that we were obliged to
adjourn fom our large club room to the
Court House, which was densely packed and
filled by actual voters, and not by women
and children, as is the case at most OF the
radical meetings Row held in.his place.
We were prepared to get ont 100 torches
had it not raiuel al day and all the eve-
ming. This, however, we can do on any
pleasant evening, mucn to the modification
