November. The Advertiser proposed to print this speech afterwards but it failed to do so. which I regret as l 1t was a splendid and able exposition of the conservative element of the party In North Alabama--they had tired of radi- cal rule and negro domination and were determined to wrest the State from them.

It was a great period in the history of Alabama and every young man of the present generation should acquaint himself with the true situation then to fully appreciate how much their fathers had to do to gain establish good and honest government
