humbugs, which have been recently practised by the
Opposition-that have also the great principles OF
Virginia TO support; and candidate TO oppose, whose
unftness for the high station TO which he aspres is

MIR P MAYO delivered short and thrilling speech.
Mr. w F. Watson made very clear and animated
address He showed that if the Federalists had car
ried bare majority in the Legislature they were in
debted for their meagre victory to statagems and hum
bugs-hat they had cried up Mr. Poinses Report into
the plan of standing army-tha the President was
not responsible for that Report; and he showed by
reference to the public documents that the details Of
the plan had been called for by the FL Of R-had never
passed through the Presidents hands, nor obtained his
approyal-and that, to the second great humbug OF
the Opposition, the extravaganza Of the Administration,
thew had thrown out handful, the eve of the cleo
ton without giving any adequate opportunity for coun
teracting its gross epresentations giving most
parbed account othe public expenses, which the recent
Statement from the Secretary Of the Treasury, with Mr.
Bentons Speech, had completely exposed, and dissl-
pated into thin air-He said these deluslons would now
vanish; and with proper exertions, the Democracy
would obtain glorious victory, in defence OF their
PRINCIPLES, in November next. (Cheers)
On Mr. Demons motion, resolution was passed,
giving the thanks of the Meeting TO the Chairman and
Secretary.
