The democracy Of this city and county held majestic
demonstration, last evening" in the great Saloon OF ihe
and published in this paper We give theproceedings IN
full and refer 70 them with emotions o. reJocing and
pride. II was, In truth, monster meeting. Inc true
and tried came from all parts OF this great city and
county and the hall capable Of holding over iye thou,
sand PERSONS filled to suocation before the hour OF
organizalon masses finding It impossible 70 OBTAIN en-
trance. The enthusiasm rrepressible, from the be-
ginning to the end The cheers and applause OF the
present were bursts OF overpowerng acclamaton
And whepa small knot of freesoiers attempted 70 M
terrupt the meeting, the rebuke OF the democracy was
stern, commanding and emphatic There is no reseva-
on in the opinions proclaimed in the mastery and com,
sentiments Of the speakers All will be found eminenily
Pennsy yvanan and patriotic, and therefore emnenty
national and American. The old and the young OF the
democracy presenthe 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 Inc same
cause.-the OF country and rlgh-Were present IN
force. Bur ONE SENTIMENT ANIMATED THE COMPACT AND
MASS and outburst OF approval and applause
greeted the resolutions and addresses.
The efforts to put down and defeat this ennobng dem
onstraton have been herculean. Every device was re-
sorted 10, TO make 1t OF confusion and dlssensl0n
The basest motives attributed to its orglnaors and
friends and the basest caumnes fabricated and circulated
against them. The North American came 10 the rescue
OF the free soiers yesterday morning. and added ITS voice
voice vehement against the recent war; and SO bitter
upon the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the meeting. Infamous
pacards circulated to excite adopted citizens
against it, and the arrival OF southern democrats to dc
tate to the people was falsely announced. All would not
do, however. The aroused democracy shook on ana
tramped under foot these miserable manGuyres, az the
lion shakes the dew-drops from his name. The adopted
and native born citizens rallied with emulous zeal under
the call OF the meeting, and joined hands in me cause
which looks to this Union as the greatest OF all political
and its foes open and invdlous, as the
enemies OF freedom and the human race They repudi
ated the Wmot Provso and its projectors with scorn,
reafirmed the old creed of the democracy with over
whelmng unanimity, and declared that those who at
tempted to make that mschieyous expedient test were
not entitled the favor or the confidence OF the party
And word in reference TO the Pennsylvanian

of opprobrum and insult the part OF the Tree -so ana
abolition agators, and their allies the advocates oil dis
union We feel that we are not msrepresentng he SEN
tments of political friends Conscious that we are
right and resolved to perseyere in our course we now
have, what doubted the recorded endorsement
of such meeting has not been held in the CITY or
many, many years We are not disappointed at inns ex
preston; but unuteraby grateful for IT. Wei
that those who surround with us heart and soul
We feel that il is no treason TO uphold the glorious iaih
friendly relations with the patriotic sons oil the South
We feel that il is offence to denounce those who gsh
to divide that they may destroy the democracy We ee
in word that what has been vilhed as movement OIL
demagogues and aspants is proclaimed 10 be the cause
Of the right and OF the republic. And we say 10
those who have vanly attempted to create different I'M
pgession that the Pennsy will fight this great bat
lie OF the constitution and the Union until both are saved
from the fangs Of their INSCRIPTIONS enemies We now
ask attention TO the volumnous and significant proceed
