,ri,c nepuF,,5can Meeting.

\ very able address was deliveredin the
Court House on Saturday evening last by
the Hon. De Witt Sprague, of New York
city. The speech occupied in delivery
au hour and half and was listened to by a
large audience to the end with interest. 4
word as to the speaker. He is a lawyer by
profession and is engaged in the law
business with cx-Judgc Joachimsen at 239
Brodway, \. y. Ia the early days of the
rebellion when a student at college he enlis-
ted and took part in the first Bull Run
fight, where he was wounded and taken
prisoner and became boarder at Libby
prison for a short season. He subse-
quently enlisted company of which he was
elected Captain and was in the Frcderic!ls-
burg battle where his company was badly
cut up and himself received four wounds
which have caused him much pain and made
several surgical operations necessary, bat,
notwithstanding all this he has better
physique than one out Of thousand cop
perheads who dexterously avoided the smell
OF gun powder while our nation was suffer
ing for want of their help. The speaker
also acted at one time as cx-Gov Bucking-
hams private secretary, and was subsequent
! ly made consul to Germany and was after
wards promoted to the consulship of Italy.
His wounds give him right to speak for
his country, such as no eX-Rcbel Democrat
or Coppcrhcad can claim.
The speaker first passed in review the
history Of the Democratic party, and, after
! he had shown that the Southern portion Of
that party rcbclled against its country and
fought for four years to destroy the Union,
and during all this time received the active
/ sympathy of a great portion of the leaders
Of the Northern Democracy, he then III.
quired whethcr.it would be wise and states
man-like to hand the Government over to
their care In this connection he inquired
where were Gov Tidcn and Gov. Hayes
when our country was trembling in the
balance ? In answer he showed that while
TiIden was actively engaged in scattering
copperhead doctrine and refusing to have
anything to DO with Union meetings the
! object Of which WAS to foster and arouse Il
patriotic spirit in the breasts Of all good
/ citizens, Gov. Hayes was down South scat
tcring bullets and shedding his blood in
order that his country might live Was it
a difficult matter for good intelligent citi-
zcns to make q choice?
| Iiidcn WAS never heard from on r(t6rm
until long after Brine betrayed Tweed to
! the New York Times and when it had be
come certain that Tweed must fall, then
Ti!dcn began to help put him down. While
