TIE LARGEST INSERTING EIER MIN wi


THE PEOPLE.
THE LARGEST MEETING EYER HELD IN
PHIL.!DELPIIL4
10000 LIVE NATIVES IN THE rIEIpl,l
We have heard mass meetings spoken Of.
but never saw one before last night. Such an
ont-pourlng OF lrcemGn was never before wit
messed. All the avenues to the State House
Yard were blocked up. We found every one
prepared to stand up in defence of his rirhts.
They came like rush of waters, swapping
the hopes Of the two old factions There was
indeed multitudinous array OF freemen with
eyes flashing and hearts beating for their native
land.
The departed spirits of the martyrs of Ken
slngton appeared to be lowering near and
smiling upon the patriotic speakers as they elo-
quently dweIt upon the pure principles of our
party. The spirits Of all the departed heroes
OF the revolution appeared to be nesting round
our couatry's flag, as it waited in the gentle
breez ePIaylng round the Square of INpEpENp-
ENCE. As we cast our eyes towards the old
Hal, we imagined we could see the smiling
faces OF the sgners of the declaration of indie
pendence-and anon we thought we could hear
Their approbatory remarks, and one voice loud
er than the rest, exclaimed, your cause is Just
onward, onward, and larry not until YOU
nave accomplished all you are now struggling
lor-by the immortal name of the father Of
your country, stand firmly the love YOU bear
your wives and little ones, be true unto one
another-for united, You must conquer.
Let love OF country be your foundation stone,
and you c%n erect Il temple Of Liberty which
tile combined powers OF Europe cannot shake
BE true to your country and your God, and the
PEOPLE OF your happy land will rally around
the standard of freedom They thea took Il
winged Hight, and at that moment, as if by
one impulse, the thousands upon thousands
who had congrcgated together sent forth oac
mighty shout, and on looking above, we again
tancied we saw, in letters Of light, the names
WAsHINGToN-SUIFLEG which hoy
cred our own native bird, the proud Eagle.
At the hour OF assembling, the whole city
appeared to be Misunderstanding our eyes
north, south, cast and west, the streets were
lined with lanterns and transparencics. Hero
came the boys from good old Southwark, num-
boring thousands, having in tow their gallant
little ship "Washing There they came
from, the Northeln Liberties and kensington,
in myriads, towing the pride Of Kensngton,
the model ship 'Native American" And again
they came from Spring Garden-good old
and smiling faces. Aud Moyamensing now
comes, making as fine an appearance as the
best. Manayunk, Roxborough, Moreland
Lower Dublin, in fact every place was repre-
scented. Oh, how freely the blood coursed
through our veins as we gazed upon that null
titude of American freemen responding to the
call of their country. Never before did we see
such sight The women, God bless them,
were there, urging on their husbands, fathers,
brothers, SONS.
The State House yard was not capacous
enough to hold all who had come forth to hear.
On the corner of Fifth and Walnut streets, the
ship Washington was stationed, from which
number Of persons spoke Along Fifth, north
and south-Waluut north and south, were
filled with people. In Sixth street the Native
American was stationed, from which, likewise,
speeches were made. Sixth street and George
street were completely blocked up. At one
time we counted no less than sixteen different
persons addressing distinct meetings. With
this demonstration before us, the coons and the
loco.iocos may unite, and bring all their foreign
forces up, and we can beat them singlo-handcd.
We give below the names of some of the
speakers, it being impossible to obtain the
names of all. Messrs. Broom, Levin, Reed,
Ashmcad, Perry, Cornman, Bruff Alexander,
Rankin, Banning, Phillips, White, Harmer,
Phipot, Mr.. Freeland, Of the N. York Shider
Club Doctor Chaloner, Smith, S. A. Dobbin,
Stiles, Of n. Jersey, and a host Of others.
1t would be useless for US to attempt de-
scription of the speechcs-sufiice it to say they
were eloquent and wcll-timed. A nambei Of
fine bands of music were in attendance, all of
which dscoursed most eloquent music. As the
old State House clock tolled the hour of nine,
nine cheers were given by the whole meeting
for the Native American party-and such
cheers-we hear them ringing in our ears at
the present time.
We wish our readers to bear in mnd-and
to be very particularin the remembrance-that
this was meeting of the dead Natives. On the
l4th approx, meeting of the lire Natives will
be held, at which time they will kill the cOons
and the cocks, and on the following day they
will bury them.
All hail the Native American party-the
Native American party all hail.
