Previous to the reading of the Resolutions, the
Clay Club of the XIvth Ward sang one of their
heart stirring melodies The President then in
troduced to the meeting Mr.. A. A. OvERroN,
of Georgia. He was received with great ap-
plause. He said it was the first time that ne
had had the pleasure of expressing his anxious
wish for the election Of Henry Clay to the Presi
dencv. In Ganraia we have the same stars and
not erpect him to say any thing new, but in
c.-gia they have as good coons, with as much
strength, as long claws as that same old coon
that he saw here. (Appause)
The Wings Of Georgia were as enthusiastic IN
the good cause and as unAinching as in any other
part of the Country. The Mass Meeting held in
Georgia could not even by their enemies be con-
sidered as failure, for there were not less than
$4,000 persons present. They had heard the Tar
iff bill of 1912 denounced as Black Tariff bill,
but did they believe it2 (Cries ofno, no. How
IS it that the income of the country had been IN
creasng? Every thing proved that 1t was by
Protective duty that the revenue should be raised
There are few men, he acknowledged, who
deemed the Tariff injurious 10 the country, but he
would say, that if they uttered one word for the
dissolution of this Union, they were so low and de-
graded that no color was too black to paint them.
After paying tribute to the talents OF Cal,
houn, he said that even he, with his celebrated
anti. Union feeling and principles, had rebuked
those who have attempted to injure the Union.
This Union was the object of his day dreams
and night thoughts, and he rebuked them when
called upon to strike at the Union.
He then delivered brief history of Mr.. Clay,
and concluded his speech by saying
/ tell you, fellow.citizens, that Georgia is ss
sure to give her vote for Henry Clay. as you are
standing here They call him dictator. He
is such dictator as we want. HIS dictation Is
the only one under which we Will move. We
march under the banne. of man we know
James X. Polk has none Of those noble traits
which characterize Mr.. Clay. You believe you
are nsht-you are going ahead-othc.s will JON
you've viii triumph on the 4:h Of March next
A man-a Statesman-will take the char of the
Chief Magistracy of the United States. We
send up shout that viii strike terror to the hearts
here will live to zee his triumph.
The speaker retired amidst enthusiastic bursts
of applause and splendid display of fireworks
the music playing Hail Columbia ard Yankee
Doodle The Glee Club hen sang.
..C,sar the way for old Kensucky,
The old Coon neyer tires"
The President announced that, owing to the
engagements OF Mr.. Dayton IN NewJersey, he
could not have the pleasure Of Introducing him
to the meeting tonight. Mr.. White was also
expected but he had not arrived, bat he would ~
troduce to them gentleman VINO had Just returned
ed from the West, and he would cheer their hearts
by his account OF the progress in the good cause.
He then introduced JAMES Baooxs, ESQ. Of the
New-York Express.
Mr.. Bsooxs then addressed The meeting in a
brief and eloquent manner
After he had concluded, the Giee Cluo sang I
Jimmy Polk Of Tennessee to the tune Of Dan. I
dy Jim from Caroline
JoHx 3. sceIss, Esq. then was loudly called
for. He responded TO the caH iu an s6le and
eloquent manner.
Several other distinguished persons then ad
dressed the meeting; after which the resolutions
