Meeting or the Democracy-Loeofoeo Flo
quence, tEs.
The lscofocos had glorious meeting up at Now
lan's, on Wednesday. They are the boys for our
money. They have our sympathiss and good will,
although we do occasionally stir them up little.
They are characterized by hearty frankness-an
abandonment ofa other consideration, for the mat
ter Immediately in hand, which will inevitably give
them the victory in the long run. The wings wear
finer coats, drink costlier wines, and make bet
ter speeches, but they cannot contend with the
hard-headed, hard-handed, and hard uthed demo-
cracy. "The thing is anpossibe,"a of the loco
foco orators said in the Park, on Monday. They
may organize clubs, get up celebrations, squabbe
and fight for precedence among themselves, and
when they go to the polls, they are bound to be
licked. Democracy is destined to temporary
verses, but it will sweep the board at the close Of
the game. The Twelfth Ward meeting at NOwian's
presented choice exhibition of the elements that
go to make up great party. The Huge Paw Asso-
citation, from the Eighth Ward, came to the
ground, with miniature ratification, called Fort
Stephenson, mounted on trucks and drawn by four
fine white horses. As the itinerating fortress hove
in sight, the patriotic Twelfth Warders began TO
fire salute; and it was returned from the Fort and
they kept on firing until they had discharged hun
drod guns. Several ether clubs on to the
ground, andbefore the meeting organized there
were about $500 pers ons present.
The meeting was held in the open air. and Alder
man Jarvis was made President. Col. Hepburn, of
Georgia, made spirited speech on the occasion.
"Fellow citizens" said he, "the wings are fond of
signs and wonders, and Of deducing favorable
from occurrences which strike sensible men as ut
terly trivial aud unimportant. WE'LL in Indiana,
they determined to make omen of their own. So,
they caught hog, which they called Van Buren,.
and then they caught coon, which they christened
Old Tip, (roars and yels.) Well, my friends, they
made ring, and they put the representatives ofVan
Buren, and Old Tip into it, and the way the hog
licked up the coon was sin to Davy Crockett
(Fociferous cheers and shouts.)
MIR. Wright, of New Jersey, fol owed in pretty
good speech, and then Mr.. u d. French, one Of the
members of the Assembly from this city, made bet
ter one. By the way, Mr.. French is a sensible, in
tel!igent man, and will make figure at the bar by
and by, if politics don't interfere with his business
A Mr. Hawk and two others spoke as well as they
could, and then there was great cry for " Blood
good" "Bloodgood,'' Hurrah for Jack Blood
good" "Curse my eyes if we don't have a speech
out Of old Jack" Forward came his Honor, say

me for several weeks past with cold in TIE head,
which renders me incapable of doing justice to you
this occasion. But this occasion is one in which
every who feels the pure affection Of the stream
Of democracy should buckle on the bucker, nail it
to the mast, throw away the scabbard and rush into
the CONSERVATION Of the fight. The buelight Hart
fori Convention Fcderalists are in the field, and
barking for the mastery Of democracy. They have
got a candidate who don't know nothing, and who
don't say nothing. They will rake HI to elect
him, while we are pnins upon our oars, when we
should be on the guy r.ree for our principles

services on our canals and railroads. The federal
lists passed the alien and sedton laws and has always
oppressed the democracy. The day is coming,
hope, when OConnell can write the epaph Of EN-
met that Ireland is free, and shall take her place
among the king doms ofthe earth. The wings abuse

The time has come for you to awake, and in Novem-

He concluded by offering resolution that the COM
