cd, and Judge Robt. Crenshaw, of
Cadiz, made a few Introductory re-
marks, appologizing for the non-ap-
pearance of Hon. Jas. A Mckenzie,
and other speakers who had failed to
put in an appearance. He wound up
his remarks by introducing Capt.
Charles Duvall, of Princeton, who
made very appropriate 18th of July

had made similar speeches on SINH
lar occasions.
Hon, Jas. b. Garnett, of Cadiz, was
next called upon, and after reviewing
the progress of our country, drifted
into the political situations, which he
handled in very satisfactory man

difference between protective tariff
and tariff for revenue only. Mr..
Garnett's speech was well received.
