John 7. Dye spoke last night, at English's
Opera-house, to an audience Of less than 500 per
sons, his effort being a superfiueus elaboration
of the reasons inducing his withdrawal from the
Republican party. Mr.. Dye read from a care
fully prepared but badly digested manuscript,
and made frequent blunders, balks and repeti-
tons. Mr.. Dye is not an orator, as Brutus was
he's about such an orator as Judge Jordan is.
There was scant applause, and what there was
of it was very scattering and painfully perfume
tory. When the meeting adjourned 500 misera-
BILE people went home with the ear-ache.
