GREAT MEETINGS!

The National Republican Caucus,
which assembled last evening in the
State House, was the most numerous
and respectable meeting that we ever
recollect to have seen collected in that
building, on any similar occasion. The
Hall of the Representatives was full to
overfiowing, and the firmest and most
enthusiastic spirit was manifested in sup
port Of the great cause which had called
the freemen together, and which is to be
sustained To-Day by their united votes.
The meeting was addressed at some
length by the Hon. Asher Robbins and
Henry Y. Cranston, Esq; and in a few
brief and pertinent remarks from Benz.
Hazard and Richard X. Randolph, esqs.
1t having been stated by the Committee
appointed at a previous meeting, that
Michael Freedom, Esq. one of our Re-
presentatives in the General Assembly,
would decline rc-election-though ur-
gently pressed to accept the appointment
it was agreed to support George G.
King, Esq. as candidate in his place.
The following is the National Republi-
can ticket for Representatives unani-
mously agreed on, viz.
Benjamin Hazard,
Nathaniel s. Ruggles,
EIea-er TrereH,
Chris. f.. Robbins,
Wiiiiam Baieman, and
George G. King.
The meeting then adjourned.
The anti-masonic and Jackson parties
assembled on the floor Of the State
House at the same time that the fore
going meeting was held in the Repre-
sentatives chamber. II exhibited rather
a "beggarly account" When our
friends passed through on the adjourn
ment of the National Republican meet
ing, the Hon. Dutcc j. Pearce was cx-
erting his lungs to prove, that there is
no such thing in existence as the Ma
tional Republican party. We think we
shall be able TO furnish the gentleman
to day with some few hundred sturdy
proofs that he is under slight mistake
in that important particular.

The fact is, that the Jacksonians have
