On Monday, it being our Court week, our


Democratic candidate, Mr.. Shepard, addressed a
respectable concourse of citizens, composed Of
both parties, He was listened to with profound
attention, as he we'll deserved, as his speech was
not only able, but eloquently delivered. He spoke
about an hour and a hall, when he took his seat
amidsr a roar of applause. Mr.. Nathaniel Boy
den, who had been previously selected bya meet,
ing of the Town Whiggery to reply to him, now
mounted the rostruin, and held forth at great
length. Alter speaking against Mr.. Shepard as
long as he could 6ndlany thing to say he began
speaking against time,--that is, he went seriously
to work to spin out thetime so as TO cut Mr. Shep-
ard off from reply. He spoke on until he had
pretty we'll exhausted himself, and wholly ex-
hausted his hearers, and then sat down much ap-
plauded by the town WhiggeIy. As soon as Mr.
Shepard arose and began to reply, many that had
left the House returned again to hear him. He
took up some Of the bold assertions of Mr. Boyden
and handled them ia style thht pleased the most
of his hearers, who showed their qualification by
strong manifestations. MIR. Shepard replied about
a half hour and closed his remarks The Dem
ocrats were well pleased throughout with Mr..
Shepard, as he has proved himself to be an able
and gallant champion in the canse ofrhe people.
We cannot predict what the result of the contest
may be, but if Mr. Shepard does, not receive sue
cess he certainly deserves it.
