lsPEoILL TO THE APPEAL.I

6AILATIE, TENN, October 19.-Tbe
people OF Sumner county had ar
ranged to give Col. r. l.. Taylor a
grand reception at Gallatin today, end
they came in from all points, all over
the county, in full force, at an early
hour, ready and anxious to add, every
man, his full quota to swell and make
the reception such in all particulars.
They formed procession Of rome 800
and went to meet Bob at DR.. James
Franklin's, three miles on the Nash
vile pike, and placed their cham
pion leader at the head Of the column
and moved forward, increasing their
numbers all along the march, till
nearing the town they were nearly
doubled, moving into town with fine
music and enthusiastic Democracy, in
vehicles, on horseback, and beautiful
ladies, handsomely hsbited, escorted
by knigbtly gallants, adding much
prestige to the general impression Of a
most superb demonstration. After l
O'Clock the speaking took place in DR..
Schell's yard. Bob opened his speech
In fine style and proceeded to
deal heavy blows upon the Rs
publican party, aud rs derelictions
were handled without gloves. He
warned the voters to look into the
history, theories and practices. They
have been in favor OF csntraliziDg all
the power in the general government,
TO the utter ruin OF the rights OF the
States; bad kept up war tariff Of 43
per cent. for twenty years after the
close Of the war, taxing over 10000
articles OF commerce used by the
great messs5 OF the common people,
with only light rates on the luxuries
used by the rich, making the rich
richer and the poor poorer. He
epoke of our country's vast resources
and iicbne's and abundance OF
its minerals, its vast surplus products,
all kept out Of the mark5ts OF the
world by the policy OF the Repub.
licans, by the Chinese wall Of their
war tariff in time Of peace. He
showed how they taxed the people Of
ten States after DISTINGUISHING them
and declaring them out of the Union,
and when Andrew Johnson, as Presi-
dent OF the United Slater, took issue
with them they accused him of
high crimes and misdemean ore,
and upon that charge tried
to impeach him, but failed,
and they then forced him, by an un
constitutional law, to retain Stanton
and others in his Cabinet, notwith.
standing they were obnoxious to him
and his constitutional policy. He thus
went on from point to point in his ar.
raignment OF the Republican party and
policies till the vast crowd we're with
him and profoundly convinced that,
as he eaij, it was the corruptest party
that ever disgraced the earth. Hesway.
ed his audience as the winds do the
forests and they shouted for Bob long
aud loud and pledged him the rous-
! INCEST vote ever given any candidate
in that county, and they will do what
they say. ALI was in pretty fee trim
and made one Of the best speeches he
has during the canvass and he made
good Impression on the crowd. His
speech did not differ from the ones de-
livered before. He acquitted himself
with much credit, even before an
audience largely Democratic, who as
far o. possible, gave close and earnest
attention. Atno place has the broth
ers had better ca's of citizens to
hear them, and the impression left by
the brothers is that they deserve great
credit for planning and carrying on
this canvass on a scale so kindly and
elevating. AS Bob was not well, they
made no rejoinders, but returned TO
Nashville to go to Lebanon tomorrow.
