And'what is better than all, we are presented
wiiii the exalting assurance that we will gather
a rich haivest- in the approaching Presidential
flection. .
Never has it been our pood fortune to hear a
more fascinating and commanding exhibition of
popular powers in debate, than was extended to
the good pecple of Orange at the last session of
their Superior Court. Dr. Smith, the Whig
Kleetot for the Orange Dintiict, addressed the
people in a very effective and sensible speech on
Tuesday evening of the Court week to which
we have just made reference. The Hon. Bed
kobd Bkown being present, replied to the Doc
tor in what was pronounced by those present to
bo-a eryepbUvflbrW He was CUwd
ty Judge Msnoum, in a speech of overpowering
eloquence. We did not hear the discrssion on
Tuesday evening, and we consequently re-affirm
what has been already expressed by otheis, when
we say that the speech of Mr. Mangum on this
i region was believed to have been the ablest
sniongst the numerous efficient popular efforts
which be has made during the present campaign.
.Il was said, by those who heard the two distin
guished speakers, that Mr. Mangum got greatly
the better of Mr. Crown, on Tuesday evening.
And it would appear that this impression was in
nnie respects just; for Mr. Brown was not sat
isfied with the result, and requested the further
prosecution of the debate. Mr. Mangum readily
tisenteri to the proportion; and 11 o'clock next
morning was fixed upon for the resumption of
Hie debate. The people accordingly assembled
pointed hour, when "Mr.'Brown addressed them
n. . tlMttch, of .about. one .hour and. a Jislf in
length. W justly owe it to Mr. wown to say,
that his defence was as able as any we have yet
heard on his side of the question. Ht was how
ever replied to by Mr. Mangum, in a speech jlis
tinguielied equally for its brilliancy, its strength,
and for the great diversity of its charms. He
wept away the whole of the magnificent but
siry edifice which had been reared up for Martin
Van Buren by Senator Blown. Mr. Brown re
j'lined in' another speech of about an hour's
: length., Mr, Mangum.. surrejoined, and the de
late was continued until the hour of sunset sp
proaohml, when the assembly quietly dispersed.
We have never seen the people evince sucfTan
-xtracirdinary willingness to hear political deba
ting. They not only appeared to be willing, but
foliehei.e that the discussion should be eontin
"cdj Bde yicliere . lf: it had 1 embraced
several hours in tlie night, it would have been
fiatifying to those who were present. We
hl not fretend to provide our readers with
ketch of Mr. Mangum remarks. Let it suffice
to say, in conclusion, tli4t it is now universally
admitted that he encircled his brow with new
nd unfading laurel.

some appropriate demonstration of their gratifi
cation and pride. They consequently gave a
barhacue, which was distinguished for the pro
fuse assemtlaae of alj the substantial goods of
life, lo wit, roasted oxen, pigs, turkies, lambs,
ducks, chickens and hams all of which delecta
ble crcalurt comwit were rendered ' more pal
ateable by plentiful libations of that grand
republican liquid kard cider.
The HUctor for the Orange DisliiiU, Doctor
Smith, lind previously consented to deliver his
views to his fellow-citizens on that occasion; and
it was confidently expected that ihe Hon. W. P.
Mangum, Geo. K. Badger, Esq., and the Hon.
K. Knyner would have impaited sdditional inter
est to the occasion by their presence. They
were, however, called in different directions by
previous engagements. The absence of these
distinguished individuals was of course produc
tive of regret to those generous and noble-spirit
ed republicans. But they were, independent of
t'le gentlemen to whom we have jm t referred,
gratified by the presence of a large concourse of
visitors, both from Orange and Chatham. They
were entertained', during the space of two houis,
bv Dr. Smith, wha delivered one of the most:
ical condition of the country, which we have
ph wa hr I
been'farouredn hearing during the present cam
paign. The speech abounded in illustrative
facts which were ("rawn from the past Congres
sional history of the country, with which the
Doctor is known to be eminently familiar. He
furuUhed to his hearers a perspicuous and mas
terly sketch of the abuses of the present and the
past administrations, of their awful assumptions
of despotic power, under the deceptive cover of
democracy. He dwelt with peculiar emphasis
upon the hypocritical professions of economy in
which the administration has ao prodigally in
dulged itself, and concluded his rcmsrks by re
tiring, in the most animating terms, to the mil
itary nnd political career of WILLIAM H EX
R V U'ARRISON. He adduced some of the
most Sj'lei did pioofs of the devotion of that il
Instriout; cu.'ien to" the good of hli i country
pointed out thp services he had perfurmed--the
immense sacrifice'' of personal convenience and
interest' he had nade fr Ihe public good eon
tiasted the conduct of Martin Van Buren, who
was reposing oil couches ,-f f ae, during the last
ded hi address by drawing parallel between
Harrison and the illustrious Father of his coun
try. He observed that though Harrison nor any
other individual, living or dead, could claim the
proud pre-eminence of being considered equal to
Washington, yet that he bore a more striking
similitude to that magnificent pattern of human
greatness than any other person now on th shore
of human existence.
At the conclusion of the Doctor's address,
Governor Owen being present, was loudly and
repeatedly called fur by the people. That dis
tinguished gentleman accordingly mad hi ap
pearance on the stand, and delivered an address
of about fifteen minutes in length which was
seasoned with patriotic sentiments, and with
passage of benevolent wit and humour. He
remarked that he had previously resolved not to
''pialrticipli'tirtYa
political contention, (at least until the great Oc
tober Convention,) but that he was unable to re
sist a call o flattering from such a resectable
portion of hi fellow citizen, without incur ing
censure for an offence familiarly known in thai
circle as a tnnp. (vociferous shouts of laughter.)
It should be here recollected, that the studeut
of the University have, for time oet of mind, ap
plied the term nap to in absence on their part
from recitation or prayer. He congratulated
the Whigs of Orange upon their late, glorious
successes entreated them to persevere in well
doing to the end of the contest and expressed
his own willingness to participate in the present
noble struggle for libeity, in any honourable
way which could have a tendency to promote
the consummation of the glorious results they
were so ardently aud justly seek ingy
" The following gentlemen being called foi.ad-

Striking incoRSisteucjr.
The Administration of John Adams was bit
terly opposed and profusely teviled, because he
sanctioned a standing army cf 8 or 10,000 men.
Yet, Mr. Adams was justified in this measure,
by the fact that the United State were eontlaul
ly threatened with invasion from the strong arm
of France. The Negro Witness Chief and hi
friends both, are loud in their -oni plaints becanse
he is condemned for wishing to establish
standing army of 900,000 men, in a peiiod of
profound peace.
Observe the dlirerenr.
William Henry Harrison i represented as
the poor man's enemy because he signed a law
whilst Governor of Indiana, which required ev
ery voter lo possess a freehold of fifty acres of
land. It appears, however, that the laws of Con
gress, by which Indiana was regulated when
Harrison was Governor, expressly required that
this freehold of fifty acres should be possessed
by the voters in the Territory. Gen. Haniaon
consequently had no discretion Jn. the mailer.
He was compelled to approve the law which wan
passed by the legislature.

owning property should vote in elections. He
said, in addition to this,
" That it vould cheapen the right of
