MANLY & REID. On yesterday a very large portion of the citizens of our County, Whig and De mocratic, had the gratification of hearing the Speeches of the gentlemen whose names stand above. Few, indeed, have been the occasions when a more lively interest has been manifested by our citi zens than on this. At an early hour our streets were crowded : and after the speaking commenced we never witnessed better order or closer attention. We shall not attempt to sketch these Speeches. It is not expected of us, even if we could possibly do justice to either ists, although none of them ever wrote n book as did Lewis Cass lauding lo the skies, Louis Philippe, the dethroned King. We make these remarks, out of no unkind feelings to the struggle now going on to establish a Republic in France, but to show to the people that the stand taken by the Locofoco party against the Whigs because they chose to wait and see how things went on before they gave their ap probation, was insincere, as the above ex tract will prove. If they doubt now, is it not reasonable to believe that they enter tained doubts from the first 1 Was not the revolution begun by the very men who were engaged in the late bloody attempt to destroy the Provisional Government of their own creation ? None will deny it. one. For the hour of trial is close at hand. Every man in the Slate, and especially Now these Party organs ask whether it those who have heard Messrs.

The reporter of the Congressional proceedings for the Baltimore Sun, says : No report accompanied the bill, nor was the bill read, though it was ordered to be printed. Mr. Clayton sta ted, substantially, that the committee were agreed upon the general question of compromise, but upon the details could not agree, and were therefore compelled to fall back on the principle of ripn-interference, leaving the Supreme Court to settle all' questions as to the introduc tion of slavery into the new territories, which 'may arise under the Constitution. It is understood that the pro vision of the twelfth section of the Oregon territorial Reid, has probably determined, which of these gentlemen entertains principles ac cording best with his own views, and as a matter of course entitled to his support. The time for action draws near. The day for discussion has well nigh closed. Men are ceasing to talk, and are now calling not rationally and peaceably ordain a re publican form of government ?

The New York Courier and Enquirer makes the fol lowing remarks in regard to the judgment of the Court of Inquiry in the case of Gen. Pillow : " We take upon ourselves to say, with entire confi dence, that the Court of Inquiry has not absolved Gen eral Pillow and, although it may possibly, in view of his-having been about to be mustered out of service, have recommended that no furhter ; steps should be jaken against him the Court has, according to orders, report ed its opinion on the case and that opinion, we repeat, is not favorable to Gen. Pillowj - " The proceedings of the Court have for weeks been in the possession of the President. They have been Communicated to Gen. Pillow who is so little satisfied with them, as wc hear, that he is supposed to be exert ing all his influence with the President to induce him to , send them back to the Court for reconsideration." !

Wasjikhgton, July 18, 1848. The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says the facts in regard to the Court of Inquiry and Gen. Scott, are simply these : On Thursday morning last, the Court, consisting of Generals Towson, Cushing and Colonel Belknap, met in this city. General Whiting, detailed in place of Gen. Cushing, had not arrived ; but Gen eral Pillow presented to the Court a paper to the effect of withdrawing the charge he had made against Gen. Scott. This paper was taken ta Gen. Scott by General Towson. General Scott insisted that General Pillow had no control over the case and could not withdraw his charge without the approbation of the Government, and demanded an investigation. ; ! Gen. Scott also received from the Secretary of War, ! a notification of the same purport. Thus the case . S j stands. Meantime the Court stands adjourned until Au- DCr We understand that the Locos had ! g?J.,.. x:. ,L . , . . j "-"ciai imuw irn voieman b lor nis poor effort of ours in description of these speeches but most especially the speech of Mr. Manly. Suffice it to say, that Mr. Reid spoke first, commencing at 1 o'clock; and spoke two hours .and a half, really saying but little, for he is a slow speaker. But his speech was chaste, and covered the Democratic ground pretty well. He closed with the commencement of a tre mendous storm of rain, and amidst the cheers of his friends. Mr. Manly follow ed immediately ; and for two hours and a half did he enchain the attention of his audience. We saw a number of persons who remained, fixed, as it were, on their ; feet during the whole time, (not withstand- ! ing they must have become somewhat weary by this time,) nor seemed conscious of the least fatigue, or to manifest impa tience. His patriotic sentiments eloquent- , ly delivered, the beauty of his thoughts and style, and the extraordinary aptness and power of his illustrations, rapidly poured forth, and handsomely blended, failed not to elicit repeatedly the most enthusiastic applause. Even our Demo- cratic ffiends. many of them, were capti vated ; and if they did not unite in the cheering, found it quite impossible to lis ten to bis anecdotes, so truthfully illustra ting the professions, the practices, the fol lies, and the wickedness of the adminis tration, without indulging a hearty shake of the sides. Wc are sure, Mr. Reid's opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, that the Whigs have never been better pleased with the bearing of a candidate than with that of Mr. Manly. And we have a conviction that the honest Demo crats of the country must have felt that Mr. Reid either bad a very bad cause to sustain, (and this is true) or else, he is himself too scant a pattern to stand against Mr. Charles Manly. little salle, with tremendous applause ; but wc heaid a good many afterwards enquiring for the "point" of that story.". up his mind, to let ; without notice, an 1 er to worry hi mi: as he hoped that hi cral, and his ft !!c-.y A QUESTION. 1 bnnu.
