CAPT. DovRSER AT DALLAS.
Last Saturday there were two political
meetings held at Dallas, Marshall county.
One, and The one Of the day, by the Repub.
licans, and another very small one by the
Democrats. Earlier in the day two poles
were raised, one beautiful symmetrical
poplar, which went up decently, quickly
aud in order, the other the usual spliced,
irregular hickory, which was raised with
difficulty and much trouble by the few
Democrats who assisted in the erection.
Atnoon there were 500 or 600 Republic
cans gathered around town, aud about one
fifth or one-sixth as many Of tho other
party. About noon Capt. B. B. Dovener,
J. S. Stocking and L. r. Smith, Esq, ar.
rived In town, where Messrs. Wilson and
Smith already were. The Democracy
seeing the scarcity Of their numbers began
negotiating for joint discussion, but as
usual their arrogance defeated the pro.
ject. Captain DoYener proposed as
both Wilson and Smith were present
that Wilson should speak fifty minutes,
Smith follow with a half hour; then Dow
ener with an hour, Wilson with twenty
minutes more and Dovener close with
thirty minutes, or ten minutes in the az.
gregate less than the others. Alter dis.
cussing this proposition for some time the
Democratic speakers declined, and taking
with them their few adherenis, went to the
hill nearest the Pennsylvania State line
and held meeting, II II could be dignified
by that name.
The Republicans had secured the Todd
Cornet Band, and headed by this proceed
ed to point near the Presbyterian
Church, where they were called to order
by DR.. Marshman, who named Captain
Henderson for chairman, with the follow.
ing vice presidentsi A. II. Kimmins, NJ.
NJ. Slater, I. Jamison, Joshua Ackley.
Secretaries, DR.. I. +. Marshman and @. q.
rrussell.
Captain Henderson, in few well chosen
sentences, returned thanks for the honor,
and took occasion to advert to the Re.
publican party and It's advantages to the
country. He then introduced Captain
Dovener, who, Tor an hour arraigned Ben
Wilson and his party 10 this State for NAL
administration and Misrepresentation.
He first called attention to the fact that
the Democratic party was sectional party
and an aristocratic party; next, that It was
not party in which the interests OF the la.
boring men could be trusted, and last, that
the Democratic party was General Han
cock, aud General Hancock the Demo.
cratic party. In support OF bic first prop
osition he demonstrated clearly that the
Republican party is the party Of the PEG.
pie, for the people and by the people; that
Ii Is the party Of free press, free votes
and free speech. In West Virginia, the
substantial benefits. such as school houses
and school systems that hsd arisen from
The time the fiity-iour counties had been
taken from the "motherof Presidents" and
erected into State were shown indubi.
tably to have resulted from the efforts oil
Republicans. The notification principles
OF South Carolina, the efforts to defeat the
amendments to the constitution Of the
United States, and the numberless other
acts OF narrow and selfish nature oil e..
tAblished his sectional proposition. In
this connection he called Col. Wilson TO
account for refusing 10 vote onrSenator
Willey's resolution offered in the West
Vifg a Constitutional Convention, which
affirmed the supremacy Of the Constitu-
ton OF the UBited States and denied the
right OF secession. (see journal Consti-
tutional Convention, page l74.l
The Democratic party is all things to all
men. Democratic speakers Of this
State tell the people they are In
favor Of tariff; In the South they
inform the people that they are not in
favor OF tariff. With James a. Garfield as
President, the Democratic maiorlty In
Congress will not be permitted 10 repeal
the tariff which projects the manufac-
tureu aud lEboring classes Of ourcountry.
The speakers review Of the record Of
the two parties was inciSiye and telling,
aud the speech was greatly enjoyed and
will do good.
Hon. james Stocking and George B.
Caldwell, Esq, also spoke alter the Cap
tain, and both were as generously ap-
as their predecessor.
