Genaral Thomas Ewing addressed Dem
Ocratie mass meeting here on Tuesday last.
Although the General isa very gentleman

he did not talk here like man whose heart
was in the work in hand, and 1 make no
improper statement in saying that he awak-

scripture Language, and said to his Demo-
cratic audience of abORt.one thousand peo-
pie, q We have piped unto you, and ye
have not danced; we have mOurned unto
you, and ye have not lamented. General
Ewing does not seem either in his element
or at home in addressing Democratic au-
Gienee. There was great deal more en-
thusiasm shown at the Greenback mass
meeting addressed from the same stand by
Hon. Solon Chase, of Maine, on Saturday.
SOlon Chase, and them steers, is GER
taihly a very singular and yet interesting
combination. In spite OF themselves he
had many Republicans in his audience
cheering him to the echo, as he made his
frequent quaint, eomical and decided hits
and points. His illustrations were mainly
drawn from down east farm life, and he
had much to say about "hogsp and
"steers," and "pork." and, ''peeling
bark, " " cowhide boots" :. ::.calico. . but

sharp and very shrewd down-east Yankee

in the Republican ranks admit that Mr..
Chase isg remarkable man, and enc ealcu-

among the farmer voters. His public re-

with that of General Ewing, and this is
probably owing to the fact that he Chase

The acquittal of Gully in Missis-
sppi in the face of Mrs. Chisholm's
Gear aud positive testimony will ex-
no little influence. on the ap-
roachi1g Presidential eleeion. 1t
easy 70 say tat it has % more
bearing upon national affairs than
the undue postponement of the Rev.
Mr.. Hyden's trial in Connecticut.
But most of the Northern people do
look upon it in that way. They re-
gard the bloody outrages at the
South, like that by which Mr.. CHS
holm died, as proofs that the war is
not yet entirely fought out-that
victories are not yet complete; and
they are naturally apprehensiXe
that if the Democratic party, which
includes the former Confederates,
almost to a man, were to get control
of the Executive Department of the
government, such outrages would
increase in number, and that Union
men in the old slave States would
find life hardly eudurable, if posi-
bic. We belieye the American peo-
pie by a large majority are deter
mined, first and foremost, that the
fruits of the war shall be fully pre-
served, and that the slasehOlding
spirit shall never be permitted to
rule the nation again. They care
more for this than they do for the
currency OF any other question.
Hence arises the most formidable
difficulty in the eleetion of a Dem
ocratic candidate.
