Captain Maiison—Union Meeting

ciated so vociferously the word But when the gag law suited him,

Ciipt. Manson's cull for the previous question, in the Union Meeting on Satimhy last, was in perfect keeping with Democratic tactics, as exhibited by that part}* for the last three years or ever since it saw that the day of its ••just retribution and final overthrow

was near at hand. The motion was undoubtedly in accordance with parliamentary law nevertheless, the law

lias always been regarded with ill-favor by deliberative bodies..and has been very rarely enlorcod and then only, ••when the subject'under discussion had

been thoroughly exhausted, and had "become tiresome. And even in that case, but few men are willing to bear the odium of such a motion. ISTot so with our gallant Captain, lie seemed

to fairly glory in executing the gag law. Why, we failed to discover, un

less it was that he was afraid to abide a full discussion of the subject for when Dr. Labarce asked, as a matter of courtesy, the privilege of being

heard, the Captain stoutly insisted on the fairness of his motion from the

fact that one Republican and one Democrat had already spoken on the question entirely ignoring the existence of motie

the American partv. When the

:ion to aajourn was made, early

the meeting, no one flow off the handle I

scrnpled notto use it. *oweverybody

as legal prompter to our worthy chair-

man on Saturday last, lie may 1M

scientific to the last degree, but it f^y

strikes us forcibly that lie is the verv

man who, at the previous L'nion Meeting. made a motion to lay the resolutions on the table, in order that they might be discussed"—which, we humbly submit, manifests parliamentary knowledge of a superior order.

We clip the following notice of our

Express, of January 1st: •, Messrs. Davis, Allen & Co., of Crawfordsville, delivered during last week at the Pork House of J. D. Early &Son 701 hogs—the average weight of which was 25-1 lbs.

The first 195 hogs delivered weighed 275 average among these were eleven that scored the following tremendous weights: 694, 555,488, 445, -133,423, 429, 400. 418, 403, 400.

Total, 5088 lbs average, 4G2 lbs. —The hogs above alluded to were all raised and fatted in Ripley township,

this county. Old Ripley is a number one section of country for farming and stocK-raising—and then she has an enterprising population one that would cause any section, though among the

Dissensions have arisen which threaten the existence of the Union, which we have so long cherished. and which we so ardently love, we, citizens of Montgomery county, without respect, to party, solemnly declare it to be our duty, and the duty of every American citizen, to come forward now and assert his unalterable love for the Union, and avow his willingness to make any sacrifice consistent with integrity and honor, to maintain it therefore,

E PRESIDENT DENOUNCED BY KI1E SOUTH

ERN MEMBERS.

in any of the States between Pryor and Love.,03 h.ne I

ex'.itcd and

seen greater turbulence maiiife* ed than to-day. Barksdalc, Moore, ILhdman, and H11 st led the van, and denounced the President in unmeasured icrms, calling him a traitor, a iolatei of sacred pledges, &e. They discovered no boldness in Anderson act. but rather looked upon it as a picpe of cowardice, iciiuu Nothing could restrain their eloquence trade:! JUid they insisted upon speaking in defiance of rule.

BATtKSDALE BELM»EIIENT,

Barksdale. particularly, would proceed to assail Major Anderson and tho President, though rapped to order by the Speaker to an extent which drowned his voice. Thc .Republicans called upon the Sergeant-at-Arms to perform his duty, but Barksdale, heedless of all remonstrance, proceeded and got thro his oration. It can hardly find a placo in the Congressional Globe.

The South Americans made short speeches, expressing admiration of Ai clerson. but declining to vote for the resolution, as they thought it looked to coercion. The decisive vote—12-i to 56 by which the resolution was adopted wiil doubtless be peculiarly gratifying to Major Anderson.

TOOMBS TO BE ARRESTED AS A TRAITOR..
