1t was the intention of those having
the demonstration in charge, that The
speaking should take place in the
Court House; but finding it would
not hold one-fifth of those in attend
ance, it was subsequently, arranged
that the speakers should hold forth il
the open air in a wagon in front O
the Court House. Short speeches
were then made by Messrs. Cranor
Jones, Conser, whitney, Helm anc
Stone; and about 10 o'clock the
crowds dispersed.
1t is frequently and persistently
charged by the Radicals that Demo
Gratis always get gloriously drunk ane
boisterous on such occasions /; but i
affords us much satisfaction to sa,
that there was not an intoxicated per
son to be seen on the grounds. Ev
crything passed off pleasantly and il
order. A party who swear by sucl
men as Logan, and Yates, and Gran
linen whom their friends dare no
deny are most inveterate drunkard
had better cease peddling such Sian
ders and falsehoods against the Demo
cratic party.
