The speaking was soon after opened by the patriotic
and venerable president OF the meeting, in speech
which proved that his vigorous mind has not been in the
least impaired by the weight OF years. and which served
as lesson to the young democracy to walk steadily and
seadfasty in the support Of the great Of equal
laws and nd equal rights which has been 50 Long
was followed by Col Philip F. Thomas in speech OF
about two hours in length, which excited the admiration
and applause of the entire audience, and which was
mastery vndicaton Of himself from the many charges
which his reckless and despaing political adversaries
have brought against him. Able eloquent and argumen
ative speeches followed from Robert NJ McLane, esq.
our talented and deservedy popular candidate for Con-
gress in the 4h district Francis Gallagher esq., of
candidates for the Legislature John F. Norris esq.
county; and Col VIM Fell Giles, and William Pinkney
Whyte, esq. With such array of talent, and such a
number Of democratic speakers i is needless for us to
that the efforts of each speaker elected the wamest COM
mendatons and commanded the hearest applause OF this
great democratic army Want OF space forbds us from
desire; but this will not be expected OF u.s. amid the
excitement and qualification which this great outpourng
Of the democracy has occasoned.
1t is out of our power to determine how many thou
sands visited the place OF entertainment in the course OF
the day; but from the numbers that were coming and
going from the beginning to the close of the meeting we
should say that visited by ateast twenty thousand
citizens Had not the clouds drenched the earth with rain
for the two preceding days. and thereby prevented hun
deds from other parts of the State from cheering with
their presence and lettering the old and the delicate by
OF the dampness of the gronnd from joining in the
celebration, this number would have been more than
double Up to late hour on Sunday night every one
but shortly after break of day in the morning, the clouds
gradually dispersed, and the with magnifi-
and sfendOF truly cheering to the hearts OF the
democracy and which indicated that the very heavens
look with favor upon the great object we have in view
Amid the immense throng nothing was to be seen or
discovered but evidences Of pleasure and satisfaction on
every mans counenance-not incident occurred to
mar the eDioyments of the occason-the arrangements
for the speaking, the dinner &C., were ample and com.
enven the occasion with their best performances From
the spirit the enthusiasm and good feeling manifested by
every member of this large assembage there is no long
any doubt that If the wards of city shall be thor
oughly organized, Baltimore will give democratic ma
ority that will asonish the Natives and the wings too
Great Gathering Mt night in front OF the Old
Although it had only been announced from the stand
at the above meeting, that it desired that friends
should reassemble at night in front of the Republican
Office, complete the good work which had been so
gorousy commenced in the day. yet before eight O'Clock
old fashioned democratic gathering had congregated
and such one too as never fails to prove the precursor
OF glorious victory The ''Od Citadel" brilliantly
Illuminated and the proud banner OF the FREE" waved
gracefully the head Of the mighty mass.
The meeting was opened with some spirited and we'll
timed remarks by VIM. Alexander esq.,. who, upon
Guiding introduced our gubernatoral candidate Col
Thomas who, although suffering much from his two
hours speech in the morning. again favored his friends
with one OF his admirable and eloquent speeches The
Hon. VIM. j. Brown, of Indiana was then introduced
to the meeting, and delivered most entertaining and
convincing speech, in which he exposed in mastery
manner the Inconsistencies, misrepresentation, and
false prophecies OF whgery. Next talented and
teemed townsman, VIM. ? Preston, esq, being loudly
called for arose. and in his usual forcble eloquent and
augumentave STYLE closed the speaking for the evening
Take the proceedings of the day altogether they were
such to cheer the hearts of the fearless champions Of
the peoples cause, and will, trust be the means of
stimulating friends all the State to do their whole
duty between this and the day of the election
We will close this hasy notice of this Joyous celebra-
ton by exhortng the democracy of Baltimore to perfect
their ward organization al onceto call and hold frequent
meetngsto consult together the best means of poll
ing the full vote of their wardsand take such other
steps will show that " Mexican whigery' shall re-
ceve disastrous repuse in their attacks upon their
government, as the armed forces of Britain received from
patriotic fathers thirty three years ago. Again we
say 10 our friends,--oRGANIzE! ORGANIZE !!
