|of excitement, and mixed much with the
people, and felt and acted freely with them,
at different times, since the year 1857; but
a degree of animation now prevails, or is
about TO prevail, which goes beyond that
of past times, and may be considered an
augury Of exceedingly important public
events. And this animation and excite-
ment is hourly increased by the new diff
,cultles experienced in business, and the
great increase of persons cast out of
employment. More than 10000 spindles
have been stopped in the neighborhood Of
Providence, Rhode Island, only; the I'm
ion manufacturing company of Maryland
have stopped both their great cotton mills,
and discharged several hundred persons

neighborhood is doing only half work, that
the people may earn something and others,
must soon follow this lead--and large
number Of mechanics are without work.

number congregated was supposed not to
be less than fifty thousand, mutitudes at
tending from adjacent parts of Pennsvlva-
MIA, New Jersey, Delaware, &c. MANY
cattle and other animals had been roasted
whole, and there were 200 great rounds of
beet, 400 hams, as many beaves' tongues,
NC. and $4,000 loaves bread, with crack
ers and equal supplies of wine, beer and
|clder. This may give some idea of the
magnitude of the feast. John Sergeant
presided, assisted by large number of
sice presidents, 81. Strong bands of mu-
sic PLAYED at intervals, and several salutes
were fired from the miniature frigatc, which
were returned by heavy artillery provided
tor the purpose, &c. Several speeches
: were delivered, and number of regular
