Loud cries were then made for R. r. Daniel ESQ
who promptly took the stand in acknowledgment Of
the call. We are sorry that not being master OF the

Danlel commenced by moving that the letter lust read
from Samuel Taylor, Esq, be printed with the min-
utes OF the meeting; which being carried by accama

before concluding he pointed out, in strain of the
happest logic, the absurdlty of the doctrine of peace
ape secession, and drew just and eloquent picture
OF the inevitable horrors which must attend dsrup-
ton OF the Union. Mr.. Daniel had too much good
taste upon such occasion to enter into an elaborate
discussion OF the questions but we under AXE TO saw
that never before IN so brief compass, has topic
been handled with greater cogency of argument and
elegance of illustration. His speech throughout was
llstsnded to with deep interest occasionally interyunt

death OF the pure and lamented Leigh, we know of
no one who possesses the same power to charm and
enl!ghten public audience.
