TIE JOINT DISCUSSION.

The joint discussion on Monday last,
between Judges Wilson and Gooding, at
this place was listsned to by about one
thousand Republicans and Democrats,
the Republicans being largely in the
majority, -strict attention Was given to
tho speakers throughout the whole time.
Judge Wilson opened the debate, in
speech Of one and quarter hours dura-
ton. Gooiing followed talking one and
9 half hours time, and Wilson having
fifteen minutes at the close.
Wilson's opening speech was strong,
and argumenativs, and full Of good hits
ut the Democracy, and showed up the
many charges ofcorruption &C., made BY
them against the administration and
members Of the Republican party, to be
false in every particular, aud proved his
assertions by official documentary evil
dence, sufficient to convince any fair
minded and thinking person Of their
truth.
do0ding's speech consisted almost en-
tirely Of the oft repeated slang, and
abuse Of President Grant, his admins
tration, and Of the leading members Of
the Republican party, the larger part oil
which were mere assertions, AID no eff
ont made By the speaker to substantiate
them further than his own blathering
assertions.
Wilson's fifteen minutes at the close,
was taken up oy an arrangement OF the
political and private record Of his op-
i ponent, which was scathing and sTsevere,
and made the Hon. David vince and
squirm as though every thrust went
straight to tender point. Every
charge made by Judge Wilson, was full
sustained by the evidence, which neither
Goodiug or his friends, dared deny was
not genuine, and was so conclusive, that
it staggered the faith of many of the
Democr cy in the honesty Of their can.
didate, and we predict that the discus.
sion did not make any votes for Gooding
but had the contrary effect.
The Republicans felt proud Of theil
candidate, and went away feeling mort
confident than ever Of his election.
The meeting throughout was orderly
and the best Of feeling was elected BY al
parties.-lLiberty Herald Aug, q.

Meeting closed On Monday morn

anca. The attendance of tent

was(very large, though quiet and
orderly; the second Sabbath the
attendance was smaller, with good
order except slight disturbance

ing. I'VE believe, was performed
entirely by ministers of this locali-

failed to satisfy the expectations
and demand Of the public. When
people who only take moral view

not superior to that they are &C.

The General Policy of the Admins.
tratiOn.
On my assuming the responsible du-
ties OF Chief Magistrate of the United
States, it was with the conviction that
three things were essential to its peace,
prosperity and fullest development.
First among these is strict integrity in
fulfilling all our obligations. Second, to
secure protection to the person and pop
erty of the citizen of the United States,
in each and every portion ofour common
country, wherever he may choose to
move, without reference to original
nationality, religion, color or politics, de-
manding of him only obedience to the
laws and proper respect for the rights o,
others. Third, union Of all the States
with equal rights-indestructible by any
constitutional means.
In conclusion, l would sum up the pol
icy OF the Administration to be =
thorough enforcement Of every lava
aithiul collection Of every tax provided
for ; economy in the disbursement of the
same; . prompt payment Of every debt
Of the nation reduction of taxes as
rapidly as the requirements Of the coun-
try will admit; reductions of taxation
and tariff, to be SO arranged As to afford
the greatest relief to the greatest number
honest and fair dealings with all other
peoples, to the end that war, with al
its blighting consequences, may be avoid
ed. but without surrendenng any right
or obligation due to US reform in the
treatment Of Indians, and in the whole
civil service Of the country and finally,
in securing pure, untrammeled ballot,
where every man entitled to cast vote
may do so, Just once, at each election,
without fear, or molestation, or proscrip-
ton on account Of his political faith, ma
tivity, OF color.-[U. 8. GRANr.]
