GREAT MEETING AT THE CAPITOL.
IN. meeting of citizens on Wednesday eve
Inc a, the Capitol, to express their disappro-
zoo Of Gen. Jackson's election, was great
- Overwhelming. The Hall of Delegates
from ,he entrance to the exlremi,y-,he bench
md The intervals between them-lhe win
Leo. the area in the centre OF the room, the
r,,,y and gallery, were filed TO sufiocation.--
Tn, crowd was so great that the business oil
III, evening was conducted with great dificul-
- and those who Came prepared TO address
,Tr a.srmblage were compelled To rSlinquish
,B,, n,rpose. Richmond from her foundation,
has seen no meeting so powerful in numbers, so
venerable from the age, responsibility and talent
If hose assembled We knew it would be
Lrue. bu, i, very far exceeded our most SAN
p,i,e rxpsctsuons-we knew il would be re-
,prcrable, bat that term is deficient in signlf-
cane to express its character.
We were curious 10 see the account our hreth-
Yen over The way would give 10 this meeting,
ard here too, we were not disappointed. The
LEOPARD may change his spots, the Ethiopian
his hue, as soon as we may expect from these
gentleman candor AMI fairness on political
matters. On this occasion, as The event de-
scribed happened under their very noses, and
was Witnessed by hundreds, we imagined thai
heir relation Of it would have been more cir
tanspecl. But il is necessary TO produce GER
ain fleets at a distance, and we have there
fore 4 meeting Of 600 RACED TO 400, and be-
tween $50 and 200 freeholders reduced TO 100!
This account will be copied by all the Jackson
,,,srs. and throughout the United States the
readers Of Jackson papers will believe that the
meeting helG was next to an entire abortlon!
'Ths logic Of the Editors Of the Enquirer is
as conspicuous as their fairness. They observe
a,ba, they had stated before, tn. majority in
Richmond was doubtful, s. had even conceded
j, might be with the Administration" Their
hypothetical admission of q fact well known 10
every man lb NlGnlllOnu, "dS Sti'ai"g PAOSi
orremarkable candor. But hear what follows.
"laey are disposed now to retract the eonces-
~sion-they think they have erred in giving the
Administration a majority" That is TO say,
,h,y were satisfied before the meeting that the
Administration had a majority, but since that
event, and the overwhelming dcycloa1nent oil
he strength of our political friends, - are
disposed to doubt il. Verify, here is a second
Daniel come to Judgment. How remarkable,
that he largest meeting ever held in
and constituting a majority of the freeholders
,hemselv, .shouldohly prove that that m ~alority
VAS a minority!
But 1t is useless 10 expose the disingenuous-
less Of the Enquirer, for happily on this occa-
sian al least, it is seen, lelt and condemned, by
The g,ca, body Of our citizens. Suffice il 10 say,
Ihal according to 4 comparison OF estimates
made By different gentlemen, a majority oil the
city freebolders was believed TO be present,
rumhers went away who could &c, no entrance
md numbers more were prevented by various
rau>es from attending. At the polls they VIII
samp this misrepresentation with its true char
.;tzr.
