The joint ] olit.cal discussion last Friday evening, at Cheshire Hath bet ween Bvuator oi this place, and Biinon P. Thompson, Esq., republican, of Rensselaer, drew a very good liouse considering the limited notice given. Very few poopie outside of t'rowii Poiut, or iu town either, knew or the debate until it was over. Senator Wood opened the discussion iu a speech of 30 minutes, iu wnich be charged tbe republicans with having made all the land grunts to railroad companies and legislation generally and iu the interest of bondholders and capitalists, and agains. the poor people and laborers. Mr. ■ Thompson followed iu a speech of 40 ■ minutes, iu which he showed that the land grants were not only voted tor in Congress by democrats, but that every democratic national conventiou resolved in favor of tbe government giving tbe aid granted to railroad compan les. If Mr. Wood was opposed to the land grants be did not agree with hispaity, and consequently was not j in accord with that party; and »o with mlT other questions. Mr. Wood's arguments were in opposition to the i rect.rded principles of hispa ty. After ' Mr. Thompson sat down Mr. Wood had ten minutes to the debute, and in justice to him it must l>e said be made the best of a bad cause. There was no mistaking tbe judgment of the audience as t?> the' weight of Wrgument. It wtevall one way The republicans were in the bett ptasible humor, and the demo.-rats—well, there did not seem to be any of them there. Mr. Thompson proved himself A ready and able debater, familiar with all the political questions now prominent aud lo discuss them iu an- eloquent aud dighitied manner. He made many friends. —Cruwu Point Register.
