From the Phila. Inquirer of Nov. 90.
A large and highly respectable NEE.
ting Of the friends Of MIR. CLAY was
held at Carols Bolivar Hotel, on, Sa-
turday evening last. Col. John g.
Watmough was called to the chair and
Messrs. Cope and Macaf erty were
appointed Secretaries
We rejoice to be enabled to state
that the proper spirit prevailed the
meeting-thal general disposition
was manifested to yield all personal
attachments, in order to promote an.
ION and harmony aud concert Of &C.
tion among the entire opposition, and
thus to ensure the triumph Of our
cause and our candidate in 1886
The meeting was addressed in the
course Of the evening by Josiah Ran.
dali, Esq. Col. John G. Watnsough.
Col. John Fl. PoUeH, and one or two
other gentlemen. The merits and SER
vices Of Mr.. CLAY were adverted to
by each Of the speakers and in Lam
guage ofthe strongest eulogy but The
sentiment was universal that the pres
ent is not the time TO urge the claims
Of any particular individual, to the
exclusion or disparagement Of the O.
Their distinguished gentlemen of the OPP,
position and that hence, in order to
allow the whole opposition an oppor-
tunity Of concentrating THEFT strength
and harmonizing in their course, it is
expedient to hold general concen-
lion, at some future period, in which
the whole party may be fairly repre-
sented-the claims of the various can
didates canvassed-and The most avail
able selected. A resolution to this
effect was offered by Mr.. Randall,
and adopted without dissenting
voice. Another resolution was adopted
empowering the chairman and secrela-
ries to appoint committee for the
purpose of making arrangements for
general Town meeting for the election
of Delegates 10 the proposed Con-
yention.
The friends Of MIR. CLAY have in
this matter pursued a magnanimous
course-a course admirably calculated
TO allay the strife that has existed a.
mong us-a course that we have rea-
son to believe will meet with the hear
~ concurrence of all who ere opposed
TO the Albany Rsgency-whether the
friends of WEBSTER, HARRISON, Ev
ERETT, or any other distinguished
