FIFTY THOUSAND AM

FIFTY THOUSAND AMERICAN FREEMEN
ASSEMBLED IN COUNCIL ON THE
BANKS OF THE CUMBERLAND, IN TIE
VALLEY OF THE MISSISSIPPI, AND IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE HERMI-
TAGE
We hasten to announce through an extra slip, that
the grea, Genital Mass Meeting, yesterday, at Camp

greatest and most brilliant popular gatherings ever
known.
ON "Wednesday, Nashville was, from sunrise TO
sunset, as Military camp. On every road TO the
city 10 be approaching companies battalions
and regiments, mounted and on foot, with their bands
Of music their banners and their mottoes on their
way TO this great encampment Of the sovereign yeo-
pie. Their reception by the city escort The loud,
continued and almost deaiening huzzas with which
they were greeted by our CT who surrounded the
Public Square and literally crammed the balconies OF
the Nashville Inn, far supposed any hing the kind
we ever witnessed. The ladies', too were there. -
Their white handkerchief waving from almost every
house, and their bright smiles beaming from cyeIy
window, IN approval of the magnificent display. All
who could not I've accommodated public and private
hou within he CITY, repaired to tho Encampmcn of
The People, and there pitched their tents.
After the ligh ing of candles Tor the night the
Hon. Thomas I. Marshall, Of Kentucky, addressed
thou sands in front uf the Court House on the an.
neration Of Texas.
on thursday morning, at daybreak, a national "a.
lutte he'd us all from our sumbers the stree :
were soon crowded, and the road to Camp Hickory
was filed with passengers, who continued TO move IN
that direction until eleven or twelve o'clock when the
great grove OF that camp fifty acres IN extent was
as iuli a. II could hold.
There were two miles Of table on which the

PALSY 1T is stated IN the Boston Mercantile
Journal, that gentleman of Salem was a few weeks
since seized with paralysis Of the left arm, and TO use
his own words, st seemed as though sword bad

gree recovered the Of the same, but II stl re-
naming IN bad state, IN company with friend he
went 10 Ipswich forrecreation and exercise, hoping
20 receive benefit from the same after slroIng
about upon the shore, and becoming much Ia
tigued, he found resting place upon the sandy
beach, During his siesta, his hand became imbid-
ded in the sand very shortly violent ptcking and
twtching sensation commenced Receiving eDcou-
fragment from this nexpeeted return Of action IN the

found his surprise and delight, that he had entire

there any benefit from mel ely covering the limb with

an effort of nature, which happened at the time the

Thus we find, to our utter establishment, that
Mr. Clay runs behind his own ticket; and when
we compare his popularity with that OF General
Harrison, as discovered in the same countiesin the
elections of 1910, we find difference of several
thousands between the votes cast for them. The
returns already received from Pennsy lvana, en-
bracng nearly twenty counties, therefore, de-
veope the extraordinary fact, that Mr.. Clay is
weaker than the whlg party, and that he will RIM
behind the wing ticket most probably throughout
the State of Pennsylvania and if he does so in
Pennsylvania, what is to prevent the same result
from being exhibited throughout the Union IT.
therefore, from the facts received from Penn
syvania, we are justified in drawing rational
conclusion, such as we indicate, what becomes oil
his chances IN all the doubtful States, such as New
Jersey, Georgia, Maryland, Ohio, New York, and
perhaps others Has Mr.. Clay better chance in
these States OF running ahead OF the wing
ticket than ne has IN Pennsylvania We think il
Is very questionable, and considering the exlraor.
binary results In the recent elections in all these
States we have enumerated, we should not be AT
all surprised to find that the whole Of them had
gone for Polk, that if Mr. Clay got one OF them.
i would be more by accident than any thing else
With those views, therefore, growing out Of the
absolute returns from Pennsylvani how can the
matter be explained Mr.. Clay has been put forth
IN tariff State the exclusive tariff candidate.
He has been distinguished statesman well
known to the whole country-far superior in men,
tai and intellectual strength to his antagonist, Mr..
Polk-and in every point of view but one, well
qualified to stand at the helm of State. And yet
with all those traits and features and circumstan-
ces in his favor, Mr.. Clay is weaker than his own
party, and we are naturally led to ask why is this?
what is the cause Of thisl we verify beiiepe that
the prostration Of the whig party and the diinution
Of the vofe TO Mr. Clay haze been caused by the mo-
'at influence Of certain portion Of the people gho
