We regret that we have no room for the Pennsyl-
vanians brilliant account of the enthusiastic
The meeting was a monster one-more than 5000
persons filled the vast hail. before the hour of organi
zation. 1.-THE enthusiasm irrepressble, from
the beginning to the end. The cheers and applause
of the present bursts of powerful acca-
nation. And when small knot of Free Soilers at
tempted to interrupt the meeting the rebuke of the
Democracy stern, commanding, and emphatic.
There is reservation in the opinions proclaimed in
the mastery and comprehensive resolutions and the
glowing and eloquent sentiments of the speakers.
All will be found eminently Pennsylvania and pa
triotic and therefore, emineny national and Amer
can. The old and the young of the Democracy were
present-the veterans, who had fought in many
hard battle. and who rallied with all their old ardor
for the established Democratic creed and the young
and gallant men who have embarked in the same
cause.-the cause of country and right.-were pre-
sent in force. But sentiment animated the
pact and Hring mass and outburst of approval
and applause greeted the resolutions and addresses.
They repudiated the Wilmot Proviso and its projec-
tors with scorn; and reairmed the old creed of the
democracy with overwhelming unanimity and de-
! cared that those who attempted to make that mis-
chievous expedient test were not entitled to the
favor or confidence of the party" Eloquent speech
es were made by Messrs. Charles Brown (chair-
man, John CadwaIader Colonel Page, Robert Ty-
Ter, Vincent l.. Bradford, Benz. H. Brewster and
Daniel Dougherty, Esqs. We cannot better fill our
space than by brief extracts from the speeches of
these gentlemen, which will give tomorrow.
1t will be seen that they regard the Union as in
fanatics, and that they call upon the North to as
sumo conservative attitude to respect the rights and
honor of the South, to maintain the compromises of
the Constitution, and to preserve the Union unmut-
lated and untarnished as it came from the hands of
Washington and his compeers. 1t is refreshing to
hear such sentiments come from the bosom Of the
North. May they spread and multipiy-bring the
fanatics to their and secure not favors, but
| stern, simple justice to the South. Rich. Eng.
