Governors going over to Greeley and
his crowd reminds me OF story which 1

and tbs younger Of them had cosset named
Billy which be hadrais4d from its birth with the
tenderest care. Finally the young men had to
part, and 50 were compelled 70 divide the sneep

I have no idea that Mr. Freeman means what
| he says boui Gen. Grant, for he cannot believe
that this intelligent audience will vote for Grant
1 daughter In regard TO the heresy, of which.
Gov. Brown says have accused him, i must tell
him that only confined my remarks to the
mistake that the Governor has Of the d. ference
between State rights and State sovereignty, and
Mr.. Dnnnington's speech is the purest kind OF
advocacy Of the latter. The State govern uent
Is government Of limited power, and State
govereiQ1ty is an I'm accessibility. You have list
eued verv patiently TO our remarks, gentlemen,
and thank you, as know do my two conpett-
tors.

ming all of the candidates started for Cart hage,
where they viii make their next speeches.
