PHOffcdH, lot tne assembling OF tHe De-
mocracy at tae Masonic Hall, on Tuesday
night last, to rejoice and "felicitate them
selves" because ofthe imaginary victory
they had achieved. in the late COMPRESSION
al election, some sixty or seventy persons,
as we learn, were all that gathered in the
spacious Hall, notwithstanding the young
voters were to be despatched with praise,
from a certain quarter, on giving their first
vote for the Democracy.
We were not present, but we under
stand from friend who was, that "thc
up,errifed' did their rejoicing, as they do
every thing else, in very unique and
peculiar manner. We are told, that al
though the object Of the meeting had been
stated, as we have above reported it, the
presiding officer, on taking the Chair, not
seeing any thing, either in the faces of the
"unterriGed" before him,orin the complex
ion ofthc election returns in his pocket, to
inspire jolliiy, opened the Fluctuations" of
the evening, by declaring that he did not
eraetly hnoso for what purpose the meet
ing had been called. but presumed some
Committees were to be appointed; where
upon one was raised for the purpose Of in
vi,ing Gov. Johnson and Mr.. Bocock to
address the people Of Lynchburg. during
the canvass. Mr.. Glass stated it was more
than probable "Old joe could not be pre-
sent when Mr.. Summers would be here,
but he could speak for Mr.. Bocock, that
he would be hereto meet Mr.. Summers in
debate, it was tendcrcd
Mr.. A. ID. Read then assembled tile
stand, and discourscd on a great many
subjects in very short space, as you may
have seen in'the dictionary, in addition to
telling an anecdote, in which he likened the
Wing party to certain depraved oharac-
tiers, who. in the imagination Of an ancient
North Carolina lady, were to rob her
hen houses and corn crib when lis Satanic
majesty's power should cease on earth,
which event had been told her would come
to pass early. Twas happy illustration
and an amusing anecdotc-very.
Samuel |. Booker, esq, was then called
up, and spoke respectfully, courteously
and well. Though differing with the Wing
party on all points, and more especially on
the right Of Secession, as discussed in the
late canvass, he was ready to accord to
them patriotism and fidelity, and warned
his patty against the impression, which
might have been made by the other speak
ers, that the Wing party had abandoned
their principles. He told them that they
would have another battle to fight il Dc
cember, and that the Wings would be alive
to their cause and their principles.
Next came Mr. Glass with his "Union
humbug," which has, OF late, much unset
tied lbs nerves. On rummagng his pockets,
he found what the nearer might have sup
posed TO be an abstract Of the proceedings
Of the Convention which framed the Fed
eral Constitution, (thoughhe failed to state

auditory, as such facts as it contained were
"knownonly tothosc more generally read"
These, he said, were Mr.. Madisoes re
marks on Edmund Randolph's proposition
to clothe the General Government with
certain powers, should State attempt Sc
cession, and 70 prove the right Of secession
he intended 70 apply them. With his re-
marks upon what Edmund Randolph de-
sired, and what Jas. Madison said would
be the effect of it, all was very clear
In illustrating the position Of the Wing
party, he personGed certain orator who
had become a candidate for Office, and as
all candidates make speeches, said Mr.. g.
Ihcarken Paulus SO tlid the hero he was
then initiating, whosepowers oielucidation
were SO great, as always to bring him tout
at the same holchc went in" which happy
hit Mr.. G. applied, with grca; effect, to bis
political advcrsarics.
Mr.. G. closed with his stercotypcd APP
peal to the young and rising generation,
though our informant, after having listen
ed very atteutivcly to his remarks on this
head, is not able to assign any other reason
for a young man TO aiiict himself 18th Lo-
cofocoisnn, than, that Mr. G. desires it.
Mr.. Kent arose next, ard offered to APP
propriate,,o the uscsof Democracy,a rclig-
ious song,and then the ''uncrrifcd" dispers.
ed, having greatly rejoiccd.
