Governor Jarvis, OF North Carolina, was
in the city on Saturday, on his way to Yam
ceyyiIIe, where be had an appointment to
speak. lie was waited on by a committee
OF tue Hancock and English Club. and held
pleasant interview with the Club at the
club-room. In response to a toast offered
by Colonel FlOurnoy, in offering which
Colonel FlOurnOy spoke elOquently, Gov
ernor Jarvis said that he had many reasons
for special love 10 Virginia. Six inches OF
the bone OF his right arm was lying some
where in Virginia.; he had lost some blood
in defence OF her at Drewry's Bluff; and
Virginia now held his wife.
Colonel John n. Staples, OF Greensboro,
was 10 the city on Saturday. Colonel Sta
pies came to have share in the raising OF
a Hancock and English bsnuer. AT few
minutes after O'Clock, while Captain J. d.
Blackwell was speaking from stand, which
had been put up on the sidewalk just above
the Arlington, the Hancock and English
banner was run out over the street between
the Arlington and the pOst.ofice building,
and large crowd which had assembled 10
witness the ceremony {the Club being also
present and to hear the speaking, raised
their voices in applause. Captain Black
well hailed the banner as the flag OF liberty
and constitutional government, and the
names painted thereon AS the heroes in the
strife for such blessings. A weli-timed
speech every way.
Colonel Staples, the orator OF the day,
was then introduced. Colenel Staples toek
the ground that the complaints to be alleged
against the Republican party were precisely
those which our ancestors bad alleged
against the British King. The grievances
OF eur forefathers led TO the overthrow OF
British rule in the colonies, and the mis-
condnct OF the Republican party should
lead the people OF the United States 10 over
throw tue rule OF the Republican party.
Wben Colonel Staples read from the De-
clarafion Of Independence the ten counts
In the indictment OF the British King aud
Ministry, ii sounded like long-forgotten
bome-s0ng--one OF the songs often heard in
the days tha were: The days before we
hung our hsrps upon the willows and set
down by the waters OF Babylon. Then the
Colonel took W these counts one by one
and established them by statements IN a
slesr and lawyer-.like style OF time, place,
asd circumstances. "There is not" said
be. ga principle of constitutional liberty
which has not been vi plated by the Repub-
IieaB party for party pr 'rposes."
In the second divisi IN OF the Colonies

Republican party as sectiC nal 10 its chsrae-
