To Mr.. 8. D. DAKIN.

In order to show the precise complexion Of the
meeting alluded to by Mr.. Dakin, the following
editorial article from "the Pennsy yvanian" is sub
mttcd:
'THE MEETING ON MONDAY sIeHr.-Tbe meeting
of "all parties" on Monday evening, in favor Of the
dry-dock, turned out, as II was feared II would
prove, a sheer native American failure. We en-
deavored to prevent this, by calling upon the cti-
zens generally to attend, but the natives had pre-
arranged matters in such way TO keep it in
their own hands. Had both the other great parties
attended in strength, the meeting, instead Of being
a movement in favor of particular sort Of dock,
and particular party favorte, would have been,
what L should have been, an expression of the
opinions Of Philadelphia on subject in which she
feels deep and pervadng interest, and demon
stration in favor Of dock without reference to the
name it should be called by, or the parties who ex-
pected to be pro6ted by it, politically and pecun-
ary. There would have been no difficulty in pro-
ducing this result; for il was, we are told
that the meeting was by no means favorable to the
schemes Of the native leaders, in making the meet
ing movement in favor ofthe sectional dock.
"Gen. p. Sken Smith, Of the Eagle, who is said to
be one of the most liberal Of his iliberal party,
offered resolutions in favor Of dock without desig
mating any particular plan, which he prefaced by a
speech, in which he declared the interests of Pha-
deIphia to be greatly superior to party. These
olutons were adopted by accamation-at the only
stage of the meeting when there could be said to be
anything like order unanimity in the voting.
After this, one OF two of the other native lead
ers advocated the sectional dock par excellencei
and Mr.. Titus offered resolutions in favor OF
| il, which were fairly scoffed at by the meet
| ing. The utmost excitement prevailed when these
resolutions we're offered, and no enc could tel
whether they had been adopted or not although
they appear, from the proceedings sent u.s. oy some
one yesterday, as the only resolutions passed. WI

IN forcing upon members his own peculiar views in
favor Of the sectional dock, Whatever may have been
the feelings in regard the description Of dock that
should have been adopted, the parties should have
len that question to be decided by the proper depart
ment, and should have devoted themselves TO ensur-
ing the success Of the bill making provision for this
improvement, without regard TO It's name. As il
is, we have now to thank them who have made thi.

WAsHINGroS, June "a, 1886.
SIR Ii is not true that have exhibited any carl
cature Of the sectional dock, unless your proposed
dock for the government be itself a caricature.
have exhibited six sets Of carefully made boxes,
each set representing tank and two end-foats,
constructed after dimensions which you yourself
have proposed, and caused to be published, all on
a scale of one-tenth of an inch to the foot have
never exhibited these boxes sections as anything
more than what they really are--namely, the es-
sental parts and features Of the proposed iron tank
dock OF course have not undertaken to exhibit
all your complex machinery; which is, so tar, in
your favor
| am not surprised that you should be unwilling
that the two principles of docking should be exhib
tied side by side on the same scale with known
weights.
The ship model which use occasionally to Sc,
upon the sections, is Of such weight as TO make
the weight of dock and ship about 80 tons less
in comparison with the displacement than in the
dock which you have proposed to build for the gov
ernment. This is much more in favor Of The
dock.
All these facts | propose to establish by actual
make the same trials Of dimensions and weights o
your own model in iron Of dock such as you have
proposed to build for the navy to raise ship o
5 200 tons.
| also propose that you shall submit to the same
trials of measure weight, and proportion of parts
the model which you have been exhibiting falls,
proportions with a view as firmly believe, to mis-
lead and defraud the government.
As to your insoIent dictaton Of what use | shal
make Of my own models, shall treat with that con
tempt which they so richly deserve.
