had the inspired eloquence Of your former men
your Causin, your Thomas ana your old Bill

they would now be advising you to stand by
American liberty once more and would be batsiing
with me in our attempt To cast Oh the shacklss Of
Radical rule.
Carl shur,1 and other eminent Republican ~
Rcpublican party, but because they objected to
certain parties and measures Of the administra-
tion, they were put upon the shelf and are now
in disgrace and retirement-Grant's measures
and men being the only legitimate themes Of
praise. Hayes was once in Congress and every
vote which he cast there was opposed to the work
ing mans interest in the country. You are bound
ask old ST. Mary's to stand by Us IN such
emergency = II 10 nothing but patriotism which
now prompts me To make this appeal 70 you. II
Is TO protect our homes and frssides. Don't be
false now to the great and glorious cause OF
American Independence and Constitutional Lib
erty. The most gallant men Who fought in the
Fedsnl army, Hancock, Hooker, Sigel, McClei-
and are battling for these principles Ihope that
our cause will not be forgotten by you and on
the 9Th day Of November we win hold such q ju-
tilee As was never seen before in old Maryland.
The meeting was then addressed BY
Messrs. Furey and Robinson in their
eloquent and enthusiastic manner until
late in the evening when after much
cheering, the gathering dispersed.
THE MEETING IN LEoNARprowN.-
This meeting was not advertised as be-
ing one of the regular meetings propos-
ed by DR.. Henkle, in his canvass of The
county at this time. as he had already
held meeting at this place, but for dis
play, enthusiasm and all, it vas a grand
success. The speaking took place from
the porch Of Fenwick's Hotel, which had
been saily festooned by the. stars and
stripes. and decorated by innumerable
Chinese lanterns. A raised platform for
the convenience ofthe speakers had been
built and carpeted. The meeting
was called to order by Jos. H. Key,
Esq, the President of the Tilden and
Hendricks club, OF Leonardtown, and
Jos. F. Morgan was chosen Secretary.
On motion, Jas. T. NJ. Raley, Capt. C..
J. Norris and B. r. Abel were appoin-
ted committee to wait on the Speak
ers and invite them to the meeting
This duty performed. the chairman in
troduced Hon. Fendail Marbury, who
was followed by Mr.. Furey. We were
unable to report literally the eloquent
effort Of Mr.. Furey, or even to give,
substantially, the argument and elo-
quent flights INDUCED in by him. We
will attempt, however, to give a skeleton
report Of the same.
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow CIi-ens II canno,
express tonight the pleasure afforded me in
greeting such q large assemblsge Of the citizens
OF Leonardtown. A month ago had the hon
or Of addressing an audience here. The skies
were then dark in the political .heavens-a great
crisis was then before the American people. The
storm coming from the West was fraught with
either victory or defeat which no one but the God
who rules the destinies Of nations could tell
then said, that God would decide for the right
and now victory has Numbered from the shores
Of the Wabash-now the olive branch Of ever

I have lately stood on the spot where your
beautiful Patuxcnt empties into the Chesapeake
and . fairer country have never seen. have
also stood near the fallen trunk Of the Old Null
berry on the banks Of the beautiful St. Mary's,
under whose shade Leonard Calvert made his
treaty with the Aborigines Of this country. IL
reminded me Of the classic Elm in my own ma
tive State, under which William Penn made The
treaty which gave the broad lands Of Pennsyl-
vania to the same glorious galaxy Of thirteen =
Pennsylvania and Maryland are alike in perpe,-
ua:ing the principles Of civil and religious iber-
". II remains for them to give the eosp-ds.crccs

have found the same earneSsness all over this
district which am greeted with here tonight.
Grant acknowledges the hand writing on the
wall, and like BeishaIxer Of old has fallen back
on the last refuge Of tyrants-sorce. new cam

dent placed him in the Presidential chair that he
