The efficacy OF extensive adverts-
ing was illustrated in the very good
audience which assembled 10 near
Senator Blaines speech the other day.
For nearly a week his friends had bcen
at work drumming up listeners with
the view of getting as large an assem-
blage as turned out to hear Conkling |;
but in that day they failed Conklng
draws as curiosity moro than half
the people who go 10 hear him speak,
go for amusement. His tragic air,
drawling tone, and varied grimaces
make up funny exhibition, which
Mr.. Blaine can not afford.
Mr.. Blaine consumed the first hour
Of his time in reading from the speeches
of Daniel Webster, to show that he had
not called the Union "a confederacy,"
etc, and had not adhered TO the opin-
ion that the Constitution was com
pact betweeni the States. He main
tanned that the Capon Springs speech,
in which Webster spoke of the Con-
stitution as compact, was delivered
off band in response TO a screnade, and
that Webster subsequently, explained
that he had not intended to convey
the idea which his language implied,
or which il had been constructed to
imply Mr. Blame sala tnat tne ques'
