The isss Democratic Meetings In the County


II was originally your correspondents
intention TO have attended all the meet
ings advertised for DR.. Henkle and to
have given fuller notice, as you had
promised, to Messrs. Furey and Robin
son. but we were unable to attend but
two of them. the Factory and Leonard
town. At the Factory. the unexpected
attendance Of the Hon. Fendall Marbu-
~, our elector, necessitated 4 report in
substance. Of his speech a. that place.
In Leonardtown We reported in substance
the speech Of Mr.. Furey ofPennsylvan-
ia with the earnest hope Of being able to
report the no less forcible a: d eloquen nj,
efforts Of Mr.. Robinson at either Chap
tieo or Mechanicsville. Itiscertainly our
regret that We were unable to attend
either OF these places. With the hope,
however, that some other of your CORES
pondents may give you report Of these
meetings, We will proceed to our under
taking.

The meeting was organized by calling

timed remarks. after which, he intro
duced DR.. Henkle. The Dr.. in his
usual forcible style, entertained the
meeting for over an hour. The Chair
man then introduced the Hon. Fendall
Marbury, our presidential elector, who
delivered himself a. follows:
