TIE TRIUMPH OF PATRIoTTsM


Great pains having been taken latterly to
communicate an impression Of the aversion
OF the First Congressional District of Penn
sylvania to the energetic measures of the fe-
deral government, IT was deemed proper to
give this misrepresentation that empSaocal
and legitimate contradiction which the voice
of the people themselves always uneouivo-
cally affords. Accordingly on very short no.
tees the usual preparatory measures were
taken for General Meeting at O'Clock in
the afternoon of Wednesday the Goth inst.
Before the time appointed an immense con-
course from the city and all parts of the
County, with some from Delaware County.
were already on the ground (: and by half past
three O'Clock the whole Republican phaianx
~ all its renovated union and symetry, con-
sisting fnot less than TWELVE THOUSAND
citizens. were at their posts.--At four o.
clock precisely.
WILLIAM JONES, Esquire, was called
TO the chair, and
JAMES WEST, appointed Secretary.
The purpose of the meeting having been
briefly explained by the chairman, the fol-
lowing address was read by Charles L1eer-
sou, and adopted, not only unanimously, but
with the reiterated peals of the heartiest as
sent, as were all the resolutions which were
read and severally put by the chairman.
