SECOND EDITION.
What is Said OF Our Senator.
from the Princes Anne True M4rslauder
THOMAS r. RID.

On last Thursday night Hon. Thomas
F. Bayard, of Delaware, delivered an adj
dress to an audience as large as ever gath
cred in the Court House of this place.
The Senator had been invited by the A.
& NJ. Association of this County to deliv-
err the annual address at our fair this past
week, and he had consented. Taking adj
vantage of the presence ofthe distinguish
ed gentleman amongst us, our Tilden,
Hendricks and Henry Club formally in
vited him to address them while down
here. He readily consented and designa-
ted Thursday evening at 1870 O'Clock as
the time. The club had but one day to
give notice of the matter, but that one
day was enough. The house was crowd
ed. Ladies, gentlemen and lads, all that
could get in and even near the place,
were there.-The prestige of that great
name-Bayard-m great by the father
and still greater by the distinguished son,
who spoke that night to us, would have
crammed house twice the size of our
Court House, even in this Country town.
And the address that he delivered added
still another simmer of glory to the bur-
nished crest of the character that he bears.
1t was in no wise what we term a politi-
cal speech. 1t was so calm and deliber-
ate, so statesmanlike and strong. A re-
view of the immediate past, merciless
sitting of the present in the fiery crlIcible
of his great mind under a slow heat, that
while it separated the dirt from the gold,
consumed the former and left the latter;
a saddened but hopeful outlook into the
future of our country and the chances of
| the perpetuity, or death and downfall, of
our form of government. We can not
pretend to give a contented synopsis even
| of that address, but we can not forbear to
| reprint one great utterance that fell from
his lips.-In words SO simple and calm he
said it too, that the audience sat hushed
and still. "When | look at the way i'll
which unprincipled men," he said, "have
outraged the laws, the trust of the great
American people, the confidence of the
bettor men of their own party, it does not
make me angry but it makes me sad, so
sdd." This was said with pathos, and a
sudden overlooking Of his face that was
lighted all up with energy but moment
before. He looked tired of the contest
ard the people could not break the spell
with applauding.
The spell that fell ON the audience was
the outerowth that mesmeric influence
that emanates from some men who were
born to lead, command our influence. We
have heard great many accomplished
orators in our day, we have heard men
speak from whose lips the streams OF
words and thoughts dubbed in one unin-
terrupted flow of magnificent eloquence,
but we never saw an audience SO spell
bound as that one was on Thursday
night under the magnetic presence OF
that great man. For moment after he
had taken his seat the spell remained un
broken, and it found vent in deafenins
greeting. Ladies, fair and flushed, clap
ped their little kid gloved hands togethe
and their eyes sparkled and their teetl
cleaned. Then came call for Hon
= Eph. King Wilson of Worcester county
@ At first he did not respond and ap
= pear. A second call was made and h
o came to the stand. DIR. VIM. III. Gall
If arose to introduced him formally but hi
G voice was drowned in the cheering tina
' greeted Mr.. Wilson's presence. Mr.
/ Wilson said ''that he appeared to say tina
e he could not make a speech tonight
a 1t was cruel, it was a peculiarly refined
!, species of cruelty to ask him to follow il
/ the wake of the distinguish Senator, VIII
t, had Just taken his seat andwh held then
= suspended in mid air on thread Of hi
eloquence from the last half hour" Blu
the spirit of the evening was on Mr.. vii
son and he was betrayed by it into an ad
dress that would have done credit to an
one. In the first place Mr.. Wilson is a
honored favorite with the people Somel
set county and almost every utterance wa
applauded to the echo. We can not Civ
full report of the addresses for want {
space but we have tried to portray til
effect and those, who were present, wi
understand us, when we say, even that
impossible.
