GEoRaErowN AND IT'S AFFAIRS.
Gnonorrows, December 4--I2 !

GE0R0ET0Wk, December 4---lz IN.
Forrest Hall was crowded again last night
to hear the discussion upon the all-absorbing
subject Of Retrocession. The meeting was or
ganized BY appointing John Dickson, ESQ.,,
chairman, and John Kdwell, esq, secretary.
VIM II. Tenney, esq, at the solicitation Of the
friends of the measure, delivered speech OF
some length in favor Of it, and recapitulated
the many advantages that Georgetown would
derive from the consummation of the measure.
Samuel McKenney, esq, was then conducted
10 the stand, and after stating to the audience
that he had arrived at an age when he felt
more disposed to seek the shades of quietude
and retirement than to enter again the arena
of politics, went on and reviewed the speeches
of Messrs. Addison, Ould, and Tenney and on
the other hand showed the many disadvantages
Of Retrooession, and the many burdens that the
citizens of Georgetown would have to shoulder
if they went back to Maryland, which they
would be exempt from in the District of Column
bia. He also hastily reviewed the condition of
Georgetown for the last fifty years, and cited a
number of striking events in her history during
that period, and concluded with some very SEN
sible remarks in favor Of annexation to Wash
ington. The meeting then adjourned to meet
again on next Wednesday night, at the same
place and hour.
The Georgetown Debating Society meets on
Friday night, at o'clock, in the town school
room. Subject for discussion: Retrooession to
Maryland, or annexation to Washington.
