cheers were given for Gen. Scott.
General HoUsroN again came forward agreeable to q
request of the officers of the meeting for the purpose of
refutng certain allegations that had made relative
to General Jackson's policy the subject of the
nexation Of Texas. After apoosizins for again ad-
dressing the meeting, he proceeded follows IL

put this matter to right Il has been procsimsd to tho
American naion-it has been published in European
that went to Texas agreeable to the wishes OF
General Jackson for the purpose OF producing revo
luton. and eventually bringing about the annexa-
ton Of that country to the United States and we're 1t
not contradcted the character Of one whose

free and independents but further oorresponded
With General Jackson from 1882 up to the day that

Enthusiastically cheered by the immense assem-.
blage; and rush was made from all quarters of

Al a quarter past o'clock the meeting ad-
| journed, aud the crowd rushed for the stairway,
over which they tumbled heels over head, and
| when they reached the hall below, there u
| goodly number of cooked hats. When about
hall OF the company had passed out, three cheers
| tor Houston were given on the stairway, by
| party who were bearing him on their arms, led
| by political philosopher, who, feeling rather
fearful for the Generals safety cried out, d" Cit
out ov de way, jintemans, mere comes de jim
| eral ~ This remOnstrance, however, did not
| stop the crowd, a.d they rushed on, carrying
every one before them. A portion OF them
stopped In the bar-room, when new discussion
was taken up, one swearing Tor and another
aga INST the WilmOt Proviso, each calling the
other id traitor, and general outbreak was
momentarIly expected which, however, did not
take place.
The lights IN Old Tammany were extinguish-
ed and at 10 o'clock quiet again prevailed. TINS
was one of the largest meetings ever assembled
and certainly one OF the most quiet, notwitu-
standing d mighty feeling for fighting seemed to
pervade every bosom IL Was called war meet
ing, and the mass OF those present wanted war
meeting.
