eloquence peculiar to himself, in a clear,
gentle stream of oratory, exposed the hol
iownes of Mr. Van Buren's claims to re

their officiat robes,"and held them up, den

Shepard stopped not here. He spoke of
ihe sub-Treasury, the dating rhild of Mr.
Van Buren, and convinced all cave the
prrjadieed and uncandid of the pernicious
effect that its practice would bring about:
of it tendency to build p and estabti-h
in our land an'aritcrary to oppress and
tyrannize over u: of its certain tendency
to reduce the hard-fisted de.ncrat, the
yeomanry of ..the land to a lel with the
serfs of KaMiia,, the menials ol the Turkish
Emperor. The Militia Bill did not es
cape his notice: its horrors and dark de
signs were depicted itt impressive Ian
guage. Mr. Miepard n this occasion, as
on all others won himself laurels if im
perishab'e honor; and when he sat down
the shouts of applause which burst from
the hearts and consciences of all present
gave signs that ah had been del gted and
edified
Mr. Cherry of Bertie, too, was there,
and addressed the meeting. We had nev
er heard Mr. Cherry, and only knew hini
as introduced to us by the tonguu ol fame.
And we know not how more truly to re
present his address than bv, he marched
into the field with a strong arm and sharp
scythe, that cut cleanly. We have rare
ly, il eveV, listened to a more efficient
popular speaker.
Nor was Augustus Moote silent on that
occasion, but called out by his fellow-ri'i-zens,
he delivered an excellent and elo
quent speech in the direction of our atten
tion to the very immoral tendency of the
present administration: a view altogether
original and we think, a matter extreme
ly important to be considered in the cum
ins election.
Mr. Speed, too, addressed the Conven-
