The Meeting OF Republican Freeman at
the State Hou.r on W Weduesday evening last,
was the uost numerous We ever rc.eleet
TO have seen assembled on a similar occasion.
Many men, whose sentiments weie known to
be Republican, bul VINO hed long since reas-

snims,ing with the iiyeiiest hopes Of sue
cceding in lne spptoachins contest, both in
this town, and throughout the state.

bestowed any epithets, which their political
conduct would not jIs.y and strictly warrant.
