On last Friday evening the quiet of our peaceful village was disturbed by tho nrrival ot a Mr. Pitkins and the re. Downed "Dead Duck," who came for the purposo of making speeches at the Republican meeting held here on that evening. . The announcement that the eminent patriot, last named, would bo present, had drawn forth quite a crowd, and when the meeting was called together the Court House was respectably filled (by Democrats mostly.) ;: Hon. Henry Souther was called to flic chair, and iutroduccd Judge Pitkins, of Louisiana. The Jnlge is rather o pieusaDt speaker to listen to, and were it not for tho innumerable uiisreprcscn. tations he made, his speech might pats. The next speaker was John W. For. cy. He launched forth by commenc ing a vile, vituperative strain of slander against Gov. Ricler. Put every one knows the character of both these men so we!l, that it would bo unnecessary for us to say anything on the subject. Every candid man must admit that de traction of Gov. Pigler from such : source would add more to that gentle man's record than praise. After he thought ho bad killed and buried Gov. Rigler, he commenced on President Johnson. Here the speaker seemed to be in his clement, he stigmatized him as "drunkard," "wretched traitor," "dema. cogue, and other scandalous names which tho meanest pot-house politician would blush to make use of. His speech WB8 nothing more than a tissue of lies strung together, and very pooily done at that. There was one important nd. mission made by the speaker that of hisbcing iu favor of negro suflrage. The Republican organs arc trying to deny that negro suffrage is an issue in this campaign, We point them to th fact that all their speakers Mid leadeis ire in favor of the measure, and advo te it in every Fpcech tliey make. After Forney had emitted enough of virus to let him sleep comfortably, lie proposed that Mr, Souther muko Fpcccu. JMr. feouther arose and ''com menced for to begin." Ho had some thing io say in iavor oi negro suitragc alao. The coolest part of his spec was in reference to the Radical caudidote for Congress. IIo wanted everybody to vote for Mr. Scuficld. This U certainly refresh?1)::, wben wo tuko iiJfc consid eration the fact, that it is only about six weeks since that the speaker wrote letter to the Erie Di jxtU h, iu which he implicated Scofiehl with some very incau actions, and termed him as anything but a gentleman. What has "came o'er the spirit of his dreams" to mako him cbangc his notion we arc nt a loss to even imagine. When lio bad con IuueU ho proposed three cheers tir j great military humbug, Geary. eu thiii was propood, wc expeetcdto ;ar a "perfect ground-swell ;" but wc ere uooiucu to disappointment. In- 'stead of three rousing cheers, there ffCrc but three very faint ait ntits. The meeting then adjourned. M. NEWS DEPOT AND PEIUomCAI-.
