free soil men, &c, &c, were, fraternally,to listen
TO the dscourses several distinguished orators and
statesmen" Of the democratic school Accordingly,
about IL o'clock yesterday, the several democratic
associations Of this city assembled at Jackson Hall,
where some fourteen omnibusses and carriages innu-
merable were in waiting and preceded by band OF
music took up line of march for Bladensburg Hav-
ing arrived at that classic spot where many hreeater
has winged his man they found g large sssembage OF
the democracy and mobocracy already on the ground
who received them with tremendous cheers Here
then, for while they all proceeded to attend to the
Tying II with little old rye which, it is said is quite
an Improvement. Whilst the democracy is feasting
Itself we take occasion remark that this spa pos
sesses superior medicinal qualities its
compopent parts being IRON and magnesia Wepro-
phesy when the memory ofSaratogs shall have been
forgotten in the chaotic mazes Of time the virtues of
the Bladensburg spa spring will be sung by unborn
millions"
During the afternoon several aistin guished ora.
tors and statesmen addressed the crowd with great
vigor and effect. The cheers for Cass and Butler
given with will. General Taylor no whar, ~
and Martin Van Bon was excoriated with abundant
skill Among the honorables announced to speak,
were Foote, Henley, and Bowden; but Mr. Foote had
since and MIR Henley is at present stamping it in
Indiana. MIR. Bowden, Of Alabama, however was at
his post and gave the multitude second edition of
the speech he delivered at the democratic outbreak
this city a week ago
MIR William Zabriskie of New Jersey then called
upon the stand, and made excellent speech in
favor Of Cass and Butler, and democratic principles
generally.
As the shades Of evening darkeped the scene, the
transpare lighted and Chinese lanterns
put in requisition. The speaking was kept up till
some time this Sunday morning and strange to say,
the the proceedings lasted the greater the
enthusiasm and before the meeting broke up, which
it ally did Cass and Butler were elected by
triumphant msjorty-in the minds Of nearly every
present
We observed good many persons in this city, this
morning, who had participated ia the barbecue and
truth compels to say that they had decidedly hard
looking appearance.
Sods-wster and sings we1have also heard were in
great demand, and headaches unusally
We greatly afraid will be compelled to take back
what we have said in favor Of the spa, it produces
such results 1t is strange before heard
of its causing people to describe curves" but 1t may
be that the pitch Of enthusiasm to which the orators
wound up the multitude, added to the mineral pro.
perss of the water caused this strange result much
In the way that the mixture Of the blue and white
papers of sedlitz powder creates commotion which
could not exist were they separate. OMEGA.
