So at the appointed hour a few bitps, mint of them lead thither by rlosity, and a howling mob of ne grots, gathered in front of the resi dence of his fattier, Dr. Speer, and started up the menagerie by playing a tune.

But the boys didn’t relish playingsecond fiddler to the negro, and a dead calm followed this spurt of eloquence, notwithstanding the tact he tried to use the brogue of an uned ucated mart. —He then branched off iu to one of the most self-Iandatory narratives of the great things he had accomplished in congress, and one would judge that Mr. Speer had killed bills like an old lady would bed-bugs. From his as- sertion Emory tipeer bad the wAofe burthen of government upon his own shoulders, and every important hill uency, with any hope of a patient hearing, so long as bis official acta are screened behind the coat-tail of Judge Erwin, Mr. Speer was evidently disappoint ed with his reception in Athens, aud bis manner proved It.

It is a tact well known to the people of the 9th district, and one which the honorable gentleman can not and dares not deny, that hia course in congress, and almost his every ut terance upon the hostings, have been in the interest of the negro and the re publican party.
