TERROR IL TIE CAMP.

The alarm Of the leaders Of the IOco-ioco
party hereabouts, was clearly demonstrated
on Tuesday the 10th inst. The Wing
party had published several weeks before
Court that they would hold meeting on
Tuesday of Court week, and that they
would be pleased ipersons generally would
attend. The Locofocos Immediately took
the hint that the Wings were DESTROYS of
free discussion, and fearing the effect upon
the popular mind, they Immediately deter
mined TO prevent it. In accordance with
this determination, they lost ne time IN call
ing meeting to take place on the same
evening and not satisfied with simple call
we learn, they collared and drummed
all the suspected and lukewarm until they
got them within the precincts of tho coun-
cil-chamber. Even here, however, their
iancied security was disturbed, and there
were not wanting some who disguised By
the arts and the frauds Of the party, their
