Thtckens Rejoicing amongst the
Whigs-All up with the Pope OF Rome,
and the Panic Spreading In the Democratic
Camp!
The great mass meeting of the Natives in Park
Place, with a Drummond light, innumerabe
torches an hundred patriotic banners, and terrible
enthusiasm took place last evening in spite of the
severe storm OF rain, which commenced about sun
set But the inclemencyo Of the weather prevented
a great many from coming out, especially of the
Wings, who had intended to be there in great
numbers. As il was, about fifteen hundred persons
assembled, of whom, probably, three hundred were
boys between twelve and eighteen, who did con-
siderable service in the way of adding to the en-
thusiastc tumult of the occasion.
The chair was taken by Aid. ELIAS G. DRAKE,
who introduced DIR. A. MERCER to the meeting.
The Doctor then read the address and resolutions
Of the nominating committee OF the district, which
was received with cheers.
