you, in all sincerity, that our accounts from all

What will old Edgecomb say to the insult cast
upon her in the above Circular2 She will resent
it with lofty crest and flashing eye, and her real
vote for Polk and Dallas will shake Coondom to

Would that we had space to devote to such a

Mass Meeting at Gregory's on the 18th instant !
We learn that there were at least 1900 persons
present; that the best order and finest spirit pre-
vailed; and that several changes were made from
the fedeIalto the democratic ranks The people
were addressed by Ms ssrs. Reid and Dobbin, of
Cumberland, and Mr.. M'Rac of this City, DR..
Cameron, that veteran and warm hearted demo-
crat, presided. The speeches of Messrs Reid
and Dobbin are said to have been able, luminous
and animating, while that of MIR. M'Rae, which
was confined more to the Texas question than
to any other, struck upon the masses of the peo-
pie and stirred them like the tones of trumpet
Thanks 10 these gallant and able champions OF the
