tee nondescript met hero to day. The Hon.
II. N. V. Holmes was elected chairman. Mr.
Waller, of Eola, was nominated fur scorctary,
but begged to hi excused, beoauso he "could
not write well ciough." Ho was excused, and
I. F. M. Butler wits nominated ; ho plonded
"unwell," and mis excused. Isauo Hall waa
then nominated, bnt begged off. on the ground
thnt Ae, too, "could not write well enough.''
T. H. Wait was then elocted secretary, and
the world ooiitiuuid to revolve.
Tho ohair addressed tlie meeting, and said,
that he was an oil fashioned man, and would
like to see things done up in the good old
fashioned way. (Applause.)
Mr. Hayderi ucn arose and said that the
ohair reminded him, very much, of an old lady,
(applause,) he once knew or had heard of
with respeot to the ' good old way" of doing
things. (Great applause.)
The committee on credentials retired, and
tho chair took Uo stand. He spoke of des
potism In the abstract t and, I thought, exhib
ited some ignoraioe of history, by inquiring, In
a very loud voice, "Who Is Abraham Lincoln?"
Tho audienco linked blank, as though they
were entirely unriile to answer tho question.
He thought the dtmooraoy were certain of vic
tory in the coming campaign, nnd he believod
the abolitionists to be very bad men, and great
cowards if it wera. not lor fear, they would
arrest him from that stand I (Cries of "That's
so," and applause.) Ho tnid: "Fellow-citizens,
tho iron heel of martial law which is
just no law at all waits for you to-morrow !
anil, I tell you, it will prte upon you!" (Mur
murs, and looks of terror.) He was a Union
man, and "fur tho Constitution us it was, and
the Union si it is!" (Immense applause.)
Yes, lellow-citizens, 1 am a Union man, troni

Hon. Ira F. M. Butler said ho would like to
hear Judge Haydcn speak. As the Judge ap
proached the stand, eomu one suggested that
Mr. Holmes had not finished Ai speech; where
upon the chair rose, and motioning the Jndgo
to a scat, rcruined the tangled thread of his
discourse. Ho said: "Fellow-citizeus, tho de
mocraoy have iought tho Black Republican
party from time immemorial!" : (Enthusiastic
applause.) He Baid, the 'Black Republicans
hail, ouce upon a time, done a very dirty thing
at Washington. He held his audience spell-
uouml, as he related an anecdote, entitled tue
Kansas-Nebraska act," He then gave us the
history of the "Bull and the Cumut," and said
he nnder tnod the whole "programmy ! it wa.
lofree tho niffger ."' (Great applause.) He
men wound up Willi tlio lulluwiug perorution :
"Now, fellow-citizens, I want lo hear Judge
Hayden speak. I'll just quit, aud give him a
show. I would like tu speak longer, but I've
been a-ploning so long that I don t know no
thing bnt 'gee' and 'haw'!" (Cries of "Go
on!" and thunders uf applause.)
Judge llaydeu touU the stand, and spoke at
great length, about "a big, fat man" ; lie be
lieved they called him "Governor Gibba!"
(Applause.) He spoke uf jewelry manufac
tured from the ehtu bone of u Yankee ; and
seemed to wax fierce. He gave a "reason fur
the fnith that is in b'.u," in this wise: "They
blame us for pitching into Abe Lincoln, and
not into Jeff Davis. Now, the reason why we
Sitoh into Abo Linoolu, and don't pitoli into

converts from Abe Lincoln's party we have
no converts to iimKo iroiu Jult Davis I party! "
Ho said that abolitionism was Incoming vopu
lar, and it behooved the democracy to be up
and doing. He said there win a great deal of
diesntisfuutioD in the Uuiou party about their
notuinutiuns in this county, aud that the time
had come when democrats eould do something,
and it was their time to work, and they ux.uld
work! (Great applause.) Ben's right-hand

fiirenuon enough more to make up over a hun

total damage done to tho plates, etc., belonging
to the Cnniaiiuhu, in getting thom out, wa are
told, consists in the breaking of a small iron
rib aud tho slight bendiug ol two others all of
which can readily be repaired. All tbo bright
work belonging to tlie machinery has beeu got

which aro expeoted to be recovered during this

wrong if yoo do not. To be tare, yoa never
knew them to do anything very bad, but it may
ho on your account they have ootw Perhaps,
if it had not been' for' your kind earc.i they
might have disgraced themselves and families
a long tiiuo ago. Therefore do not relax any
effort to keep them where they ought to bj nev
er mind your own business that will lake oare
of Itself. There is a man patting along hs is
looking over Ihe fence be. suspicions of him ;
perhaps he contemplates stealing something
some of these dark nights there is no know
ing what queer fundus he may have got into
hi bi tul. . If youi uud any symptoms of any
one passing out of the path of duty, tell every
one else that you see, and be particular to see
a great many.: It is a good way to circulate
such tilings, though it may not benefit yoertelf
or any one else partioul'..ly., -Da keep eonlo

it is said there , was silenoe in Heaven lor the

i If, after nil your watchful oare, yon ceanot
see anything out of the way In auy eae, you . ,
may be sure it is not because they have not

moment, yoa lost sight of them throw nut
bints that they are no better than they should
lie that yon should not wonder if people
found oat what they wero after In while,
