witnessed at any political meeting in this place
so large an assemblage. Apart front the interest
which ordinarily attaches to tbe discussion of po

the Republican Whigs for the success in debate,

Whigs present; that our candidate bore himself
with an ability, candor, and honesty worthy of
all commendation. He surprised and delighted
his hearers. We had expected a plain, straight
forward, strong speech ; but he added te all tlii
such an intimate know ledge of the suhj eet, he dis
cussed, and illustrated them o forcibly, yet
