THE TOTH OF NOVEMBER DEMON

STRATION.

FIRST PUBLIO XllllllO.

A large number of the friends and supporters of the
annual Fifth of November Demonstration met at the
Holy Trinity Schoolroom on Friday evening last. The
mooting was chsracterisad throughout by the greatest
enthusiasm, which speaks well for the success of the
coaling display.

The Rev. H. Everett again very kindly gave his
support sod approbation by taking the chair, and was
supported by Di. Fisher and most of the committee
ass of last year.
The Citanutax said, as they were all aware, they,
had met there that evening in oonsequenoe of a bill
that had been printed and placarded about the town
C4lll/Off upon those interested in the demonstration on
the sth of November to meet together and see if they
weld owns to some sort of arrangement to carry it out
in • prva. manner. (Hear, hear.) He was very
plasma hadsed to see such • good attendance, for it showed
him there were • great many interested in trying to
keep up what they had carried out so very suocessfully
for some years past. (Applause.) For his Own part
he felt exceedingly glad for the part which he had
taken and for whatever he had done dating these years,
In respect to this matter. He could honestly
say that if he bad his time over again It was
not alwsys they could say that with everything) he
should at in precisely the same way as this. They
often found people who said that it was • silly, childish,
thing, but he o,ull not help thinking, that in one
respect, they had been most successful, and had
managed not only to keep the ye riCP, and I, ittlown a great
deal of what was very olde,.tion Ode in 1,441, but they
had provided • great deal of innocutt pleasure rind
amassment, not only for the young inhabitants, but
also for the old inhabitant, of thia town. He was quite
sure that a very great number of the inhabitants took
• great deal of pleasure in the demonstration of the
Fifth, whereas before there was • great deal which
everyone, both young and old, must have very much
deplored. In consequence of that they were not (pin
to allow the demonstration to die down. He was
very much afraid if it was allowed to die down, and
*as not carried out in the way it had been daring the
last few years, they would have, in its place, much of
that which would be a disgrace to the town, all it was
formerly. Therefore, he hoped and trusted that those
who were present and took an interest in the matter
would all try and do what they could to make the
demonstration of this year as good and as effectual as
It wee jug year. He thought he might honestly say
that those gentlemen, who had atang to do with it
last year, and who carried it out in the way they did,
deserved very great credit indeed. It was most
admirably done. What wee worth at all was
eeceth doing wall, and he hoped theyd:rOnuld try and do
it as well or better than last year. (Hear, beer.) The
object of that meeting would be first of all to appoint
• committee of management to carry out the dots& of
the demonstration IN perfectly as possible, and he
ghoeght they could not possibly do better thse
the --te gentlemen on the committee as they iritang
