thanks rendered him by the Hancock and
English Club Of this place on Wednesday
evening last, for having so generously fur
hlshedr free OF cost, an almost unlimited

The richest speech of the campaign was
delivered before the Hancock and English
Club of this place, on Friday evening last,
by Gen. Joseph Mcdonald, who not only ex-
celled himself in the matter Of time, the
speech occupying over foTty-minutes, but

we are only sorry we can't give 1t to our
readers with all the dramatic effect which
attended its deliverance.
