4 Curry, George Tufly l.. c. Mckeeby, IL. j
/ Phillips, T. ID. Edwards aud James 5
Slingerland. Henry II. Mighels elected
Secretary. The Chairman, after abiding tC
the objects of the meeting, stated the fsct
that the Hon. Benz. Douglas who was an
nounced to address the meeting was una
voidably absent by reason OF severe illness
and further, that Hon. VIII Campbell being
present, would deliver an address. The
latter portion Of this announcement was re-
ceived with applause and Mr.. Campbell
/ being heartily called for came forward and
delivered speech of rare force and ability.
He began by briefly reviewing the causes
which led to the War of the Rebellion, and
/ stating succinetly the early events OF the
struggle which followed. He rehearsed, in
strong terms, the part taken by the Democ-
racy tof which party he contritely acknowl-
edged himself to have been a memberl in
lending aid and assistance to the rebels.
He alluded to that party as the peace party
ia war and the war party in these days Of
peace. Abiding to the Democratic candi-
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presiden-
cy, he stated that wheE he used to speak
from the stump in the interest ofthe De-
rnocracy, he brought down the applause of
. tho frralt ha6 hr
Blair Chen an abolitionist) as "a monster of
iniqni.y." In an eulogy upon Abraham
Lincoln, Mr.. Campbell expressed himself in
terms of the Hottest eloquence which met
with loud and continued applause lie made
i. splendid allusion to Grants victorious ca
rcer As general, and contrasted his course
with that of Seymour. He characterized
Grants brief, senteItious orders and savings
rs Of more true and significant el0quence
than all the Democratic speeches pat to-
gcther And this is the man, said he, who
hariny shown the greatest magnanimity to-
ward the surrendered rebels, is termed by
such men Pitzer "a butcher" Here the
speaker made happy hit at the said Pitzcr
He said that he hardly knew what to do with
that luminary Of the Democracy unless he |
took hint from what 4 man said to a bum !
m2r in Reno, who wanted a drink for moth
ing, aud who gave as his excuse that he could /
get 10 work. Said the man, l can get you !
employment on the railroad, a a red light .
for locomotive. Mr.. Campbell left the au-
dierce to draw their own inference. Spark
ling, brilliant, witty illusions, apt anecdotes,
and stirring flights OF eloquence character
lied his speech throughout, and he launched
tnunderbo.ts of satire and invectiye, wither-
Ing and resi>tless, at the Copperhead De-
moeracy. He reviewed the action OF the
Democracy at TJmnany, and placed the
fearful and threatening attitude Of that party
Ia I strong light, characteriling it as the
most Ferilou5 and reasonable position ever
occupied By any party in the United States
He made strong appeal in behalf of the
icsconstruct:on acts of Congress. justifying
negro suffrage as measure of justice and
correct policy, and a means OF protection ,

@'nted startling picture Of the present con- ,
dition-the new (Blair) revolution-in the ,
Southern States. The speaker criticised t
he financial policy of the Copperheads, !,
illustrating it by anecdotes, which brought =
down the house with shouts of laughter. $
Then he criticised the peculiar position Of g
he Nevada Democracy upon the d" Coolie
luestio showing its complete fallacv.
The neglect of the Democratic party, during
Is long domination, to protect our foreign
'orn citizens, and the etfectual protection az
orded b the Republican were passed in re-
lew. Mr.. Campbell concluded his splendid ~
peech with perora,ion which glowed with n
;rcat eloqrNnce. The ting, which was L
ar5e and enthusiastic, adjourned with three fl
iear.y cheers for Grant and Colfax, and
hrse cheers for Will. Campbell
