w. II. Smith of Portland, contributes to this
issue of the Journal an interesting account of"An
Old Time Political Quarrel" in which the Hon.
Jonathan Cilley, of Thomaston, took part. Mr..
smith recently delivered very instructive lecture
on "The Duel between Cillev and Graves" Def ore
large audience in the hall of the Grattan Literary
Association, Portland. The Press says:
Mr.. Smith traced i'll graphic manner the steps
which led to the fatal meeting between Cilley and
Graves. He showed that Henry Clay was the real
cause of the duel, that Southern hate urged it ON.
and that Cllley as a brave man, Jealous of the
honor of his state could not consistently avoid the
fatal duel. Hawthorne's beautiful eulo of CilleV
who was his clasSmate, was read as part of the
lecture. The duel itself, its sad result, the horror
which the fate of Cilley created throughout the
country, and the intense feeling exhibited in Maine
were all described with a minuteness and intensity
of feeling which held the audience chained during
the lecture. AT the close of the lecture the society
rendered Mr.. Smith an unanimous vote of thanks
| for his able and lntercS ting address.
