The meeting was addressed by the
chairman in some very appropriate re-
marks-by Geo. 6. King, Esq. (who
gave a brief but interesting account of
the proceedings ofthc Harrisburg Con-
vcnti"n--by DR.. Henry +. Turner, and
others. Though the crowded state of
our columns, we regret compel us to
omit what was said almost wholly we can
not refrain from stating the substance of
tho remarks of DR.. Turner. They
were alike pithy and appropriate in re-
fntation Of the groundless nnd wanton
calumnies Of the loco-ioco press, en-
gendcred and put forth in parts of the
country where Gen. Harrison was lenst
known.-Dr. Il. bore ample and hon
orable testimony from personal know
ledge Of the distinguished abilities and
eminent qualifications for the high office
for which the Wings Of the whole coun-
try had determined unanimously to sup
port Gen. Harrison. He stated in sub
stance that it hud been his good fortune
10 spend about year Of his life in the
West, which led him into an intimate
acquaintance with many Of the most in
fluential and intimate acquaintances Of
Gen. Harrison Of both political parties,
who, without n single exec ption, always
evinced the most profound respect for
his public services and private virtues,
and ranked him among the first men of
the Nation. He also STATED that he had
had the satisfaction of spending some
time in company with Gen. Harrison
himself, and that the pleasure and in
s,ruetion he then received in listening
to the able and statcsmanlike manner
in which he discussed the affairs Of
Government, with Judge Burnet and
others, was only cquallcd by his sur
prise at the ignorance or malice ofsome
Of his political opponents, who were en-
deavoring TO make it appear that he
was an imbecle old man, untitled for
the Office Of President Of the United
States.
Henry Y. Cranston, Esq. also made
n fow romarks in behalf Of tho older
part Of tho audience who came there
