polls should be more carefully man
aged. BIr. Parsons closed, as h,
was in duty bound, with a few
words to the ladies.
Esq. Worley followed. He sail
that while the crowd was present to
admire the new bridge, he was pres
ent to build a bridge ont of public
opinion, over which he would pass
into The next Legislature of the
State. The cutlery against the
Chaneery Court, though in many
things a just one, should be care
fully considered before anything is
done. Sometimes it is better to re.
pair house than tear it down, and
so with this court. The hardness
and negligence should be corrected,
and to this purpose public opinion
should be directed. Magistrates
should have jurisdiction over all
notes of hand, and the collection of
taxes should be in the hands of
eonstables. School commissioners
should be paid or not held response
bic. On all other points Mr.. Wor-
ley agreed with Mr.. Parsons. Mr..
WOrley made no claim to any gift
of speech, but claimed to be a man
of common sense. He spoke flu
emily and seemed to desire the
good, and nothing but the good, of.
the country.
Mr.. Newbill spoke next. He
took Issue upon no point of impor-
lance, but gave expressions to sen
timents in harmony with the other
candidates. Mr.. Newbill was more
fluent and happy than usual, show
ing enthusiasm and yigor of
thought.
The candidates mentioned the
Gubernatorial contest were pleas
ant in their bearing toward each
exception to the agree
ment upon all questions was shown
in the last speech in thinking con
trary to Esquire Parsons, that |
criminals should be punished ac-
cording to their intelligence. All |
Of the candidates agreed with John |
Q. Adams, that the only true doc |
Irine is the procurement of "the
greatest-gOOd to the greatest num-
Der." Gov. Browns doctrines as
in Pulaski last week were
made the text of the gentlemen's
speeches on several points. of
,Ourse all the candidates were very
sweet in words, though not quite so
pretty in face, when the ladies were
addressed. They looked IS sweet
IS they could, and the ladies, know
Nc that they are sweet and pretty
themselves, did not seem to care if
he candidates were a little rusty in
,hiz.
The crowd listened very closely,
so considering the fact
hat there were so many young men
md boys present. Your reporter
lever saw so many young people
present at a gathering of the Kind.
The boys were unusually good
as handsome as the
5irls. Pulaski was well represent
d in beauty and avoirdupois. !,
The new bridge, the completion

tructure, rejecting great honor on
he contractors, Messrs. Grove
Brothers. The whole work is done
N a heavy, solid plan, and will be
landing whom the present Grove
amily are gone where all honest,
aithful men go. Away down the /
liver of time the little Groves,
hOugh without a change there will
lot be many of them, viii point to
his bridge as q proud monument of
heir ancestors hard work.
There is great need for a good
turnpike over the road on which
his bridge stands, and new that the
ntire county has been SO munificent
n its contributions to the aid of the I
vicinity, the people liv- i
NC in that section should come up
literally with their money and
'uild a good turnpike from some
,Oint on the EIkton turnpike TO

With their rejoinders, z. w. Ewing,
ESQ, was called upon to make
Peech, to which he responded in a
iappy effort, complimenting the
aides, the young men, and especial

their work. The dinner

quite glorious, and in spite

warm sun. A good spring was
lear at hand, at which Polk Aber-
lathy made himself the most useful 1

heir thirst.
