tired, the meeting was addressed By MIR. y. Watkins u
a bold and flowing strain, which seemed 10 have gond Il

ever saw kicked up was a little composed, he, the herr,
makes an apology 10 thu meeting and acknowledgment
to MIR. Lrakr, auI the Wings retire. The confusion
lasted, | suppose, enc hour and a half. After order was
restored, the proposition made BY the Wings was acted
IN and rejected by the Democrats, and the Wings re-.
tired 10 the Tavern the second time TO get through with
their business, and, some little time after the Wings had
commenced business, Mr.. Leake appeared before the
meeting with a proposition from the sDemocrats. Tne
proposition contained some lttlc amendment IL the onr
