number Of about 1900, near as we could Judge
The Hall filled at an early hour-numbering In all
at least three thousand. The meeting was called
to order by Francis Extraordinarily Will

thsn. was laid upon the table the grand Irish petit
ton Garrison, at this juncture, in his own Pecu-
liar way, informed the neetisg that reward Of
500 had hcen offered by the slave holders for his
head, but says he, slappnx the roll with his hand
with greater force, " here Is voice, my Irish

huxzas, and shouts Of Hurra for Dan o. Connell,"
"God bless Father Matthew" Hurrah for re-

was again restored, and Garrison had completed
Of his bttsrest Trades against the south, and
an high eulogium on the patriotism Of John @.
Adams, and in a special manner for his last demon

gave way, however, for Col Miller. Alter he had
concluded short speech, appsal & to the lrishfor
their aid in the cause, as the natural enemies Of
opp ression-tho Bradburn assembled the rostrui
and let squirt stream Of dirty blackguardism, W
