posed of. The whisky question was discussed.
One would suppose from the speeches of Demo
cratic politicians that the chief end of this gov
eminent was to distil whisky and enjoy it for
ever. BE had done what he could to mitigate
the rigors of the law, but he would never favor
| a whisky rebellion" such as had once cursed
Pennsylvania. He would rather have revenue
| collected from whisky and tobacco than from
bread and meat. We pay in East Tennessee
less than $780, 600 the Federal Treasury, while
we received over $4,000 for pensions alone
His time having expired he gave way to
- COL. BLIZZARD, -
Who followed in rejoinder of thirty minutes
He wasnot in favor of tariff at all ON sugar
coffee or tea. He was in favor of tarifing lea
ther and everything not required to sustain
life, according to its value. He went into a
dry argument, to show that the present tariff
dissriminates against the agricultural interests
of the country, all of which we failed to see. He
made another onslaught on the "bloated bond
holders which fell 'still-born upon the au-
dience. The National banks were again set up
and knocked down at single dash. He said
his competitor had been a STAKEHOLDER, while he
had not been, and seemed to think this clinch-
er. He disposed of the liquor and railroad
questions in his way, and then retired, having
excited no enthusiasm. He was slightly ap-
plauded by half-dozen men one time
ME-. MAYNARDs -REJoINDER.
Mr.. Maynard followed in rejoinder Of thirty
minutes He defended Mr.. Wisencr and W. B.
Staley, who had been charged by Col Blizzard
with having been rebels. He most successfully
refuted the charges made. He took up Col. BIS
position on the tariff, and said that it appeared
to him, that as children were born barefooted,
leather was as much of necessity as anything
else. The poll tax clause i'll the New Constitu-
ton, he charged, was discrimination against
the poor man, whether white or black He dis
cussed the whisky laws and showed that the
State laws were somewhat oppressive, as we'll
as the Internal Revenue laws. His rejoinder
and his original speech were most happy i'll
their effect. delighting his friends and ominou,
of defeat to his enemies
This is the first time we have heard them to-
gether, and we fully concur in the universally
expressed opinion that Col Blizzard is no match
for Mr. Maynard in debate, and his effort only
reminds US of q poor swimmer striving againsta
strong current. His friends were evidently dis
appointed with him yesterday, as he failed to
excite the slightest enthusiasm. The court
house was well filled yesterday, and We think
there is no doubt but that at least two-thirds Of
them were for Maynard.
We say to our friends, work q few days and a
sweeping victory is ours.
