The Great Hagerstown Meeting.

HAGEssrowN, ND, October -, 1852.
10 the Editor Of the Republic:
DEAa STA: seize the earliest leisure to drop you
line in regard to our Wing mass meeting in this
place on Saturday last, the 9Th instant. 1t was a
day long to be remembered by the good Wings of
old Washington county. Never, except in 1910, was
there such political demonstration in Hagerstown
as that OF last Saturday and there persons here
who think 1t equalled even that. The procession
was over mile in length, carrying banners, flags.
coons, soup bowls, and other significant devices;
and the enthusiasm was unbounded Every pub
lie road leading into town alive with the hardy
yeomanry Of the county, coming in large process
sions--on foot, on horseback, in carriages, and in
wagons; and "a each delegation came into town
and wheeled into line, shout answered to shout,
amidst the waving of handkerchiefs in the hands
Of thousands oil the loveest fair who graced the
OCCASION with their presence; and the strains Of
music from six bands, together with the fife and
drum at the head of the "Cerro Gordo Club, rem.
dered the scene at once grand and imposing; and
the tears OF joy, too, from many an eye expressed
in unmistakable language the deep feelings of the
heart. After marching through the principal
streets OF the town, the procession assembled in
beautiful grass lot at the edge of town, where
large stand had been erected, and long tables
loaded with provisions for the accommodation of
WV PSoPiS hsu oCcu SupPucu ny tut central COLu-
mittee Of the county. The Hon. DANIEL WsIsrL,
late associate judge of the judicial district, was
appointed president of the meeting, and addressed
the people in speech of signal ability for more
than half an hour The meeting was then dis
missed for an hour for the purpose of refreshments.
Fifteen hundred net weight of beef and mutton,
with the bread of five barrels Of -four, all nicely
served up, were consumed in a hurry; notwth-
standing that hundreds, who dined at the hotels
and with private families, did not partake. At the
hour designated the speaking was resumed
RIcHARD /. Bowie, M. G. from the Montgomery
district, leading off. He was followed by ALEI-
AMBER r. BorELEn, esq, Of Virginia; after which,
the people repaired in front OF the court house, to
which place the stand was removed to avoid the
heat Of the sun, which had become intense. Here
the speaking was continued till a late hour in the
night, by GEoRaE A. PEARRE, esq of Cumber
land; RICHARD T. MERRIcK, esq.,, of Baltimore;
and J. PHILIP ROMAN and JOHN T. B. DoRsrY,
esQs,, two Of the Wing electoral candidates.
very much regret that my time does not allow
me to go more into detail in describing the events
of the day. Indeed, pen could do justice to the
enthusiasm and confidence manifested by all the
Wings present. No fears need be felt for this
county. ScoTr will carry it by o triumphant ma
jority-not less than two hundred, and IL may be
doubled Let other parts Of Maryland do as we'll
this county and the State is safe by three thou
sand majority. Very respectfully, yours. sc.

We invite the attention Of the Commissioner
of Public Buildings to the exposed condition
Of that portion Of the trench which has been
dug for public sewer, which is near the in
tersection Of Ninth and d streets, and to the
want of light to designate the dangerous
locality to the by-passers. Two or three nights
since, when the trench was not 80 deep as it
is now, horse and rider fell into it; and
during the pischy darkness of last night, if no
one fell into it, we can only say, from our
own observation, that those who approached it
owe their thanks especially to an overriding

We are indebted to our oblging contemporary
of the Jacksonville Republican for additional, re-
turns; but as we without any previous vote with
which to compare them, we can only state in gene

losers. Returns have been received from all but
two precincts in jefferson, Democratic county.
Broome (Dem.) for Governor beats Ward (Whig)
1913; Maxwell beats Cabell for Congress III. :"
Columbia county, it is believed, has gone for
Cabell for Congress. end for Broome bya small
vote for Governor. Probably the Wings have car
ried one Of the Assemblymen. In 1850 the ma
jority in this county against Cabell was over 80.
Aachua has gone for the Democrats; SO has
Hamilton for Governor and Legislature, thought
is reported that Cabell has majority in Hamilton.
Alachua is Democratic county.
Madison county elects Cabell and Ward, and
one Wing semblyman-Langford.
From Nassau nothing definite had been received,
but report says it has gone for the Democrats BY
email majority. '.@
Our friend Of the Jacksonville Republican adds:
"Our returns from st. Johns county and Putnam
show the election of Democratic Representative
for the two counties. There is doubt as to who il

Great Wing Meeting In New Orleans.

From the Ne,r Orleans Bee. October 7.
The Wings OF the First Ward having called a
meeting at the Horae Station last evening for the
purpose of organizing themselves into Ward
Club, we repaired thither in the expectation OF
meeting few hundred of the gallant and indom-
liable Wings of that district; but what was our as
tonshment on reaching the ground to find ii occu-
pied by fully two thousand of the most enthusiastic
ScoTT and GRAHAM men we have encountered
since the opening of the campaign.
This vast assembly was organized by Colonel ].
b. Walton, who call ed the following officers to the
stand:
H. M. Summers, president Henry Renshaw,
David b. Forbes, J. Bachino, w. NJ. Batson, Al
fred Mcllhenny, v. H. Rodes, Michael Fritz,
Adolphe Layet, A. G.. Blanchard, James Ross
Isaac Hart, vice presidents. ]. Jay Osborne, R.
II. Prendegast, secretaries.
On motion, committee of three was appointed
to receive the names Of all the Wings of the district
who might be willing 10 form themselves into
club, with the understanding that the signers to
the list are to meet on Saturday evening next for
the purpose Of proceeding to the organization of
A loud call being then made for Mr.. !. N. Marks,
this gentleman stepped forward, and made most
effective speech He had hardly got under way,
however, when the sound Of music heralded the
approach of the Scott Rangers, and the Scott and
Graham Club, who marched up one thousand
strong, the former under the lead of their gallant
Captain, Charles M. Waterman, and the latter
win their worthy and respected President, Oh ris
tian Roselius, at tho head. simultaneously the
clubs from the Fourth District and from jefferson
city poured in, together with numerous other
Wing attachments from remote parts Of the city,
thus swelling the number present to between three
and four thousand.
Mr.. Marks closed his speech somewhat abruptly
in order to give place TO the Hon. J. P. Benjamin,
whose presence was speedily noticed by the assem.
bled thousands. His appearance on the stand was
the signal for loud and repeated cheering; after
which the distinguished Senator made most elo-
quent and telling speech, which was listened to
with the Disqualification by the vast multitude.
In contrasting the servicesrendered by the two
prants for the Presidency no took occasion to point
out that both the civil and military life of franklin
Pierce had been a complete blank. In Congress he
had never been accused Of originating a single
measure, whilst his military career had consisted of
series of personal misforunes. His whole history
could be summed up in few verbs: "a statesman
without o measure; an orator without a speech;
and general without victory" Mr.. Benjamin
administered severe rebuke to a certain United
States Senator. who had 30 eoquently and digni.
fedly styled General Scott "a feathercd mendi.

Speeches were subsequently, made by Colonel

The misrepresen fations II regard 10 the corres-

are strange. No written communications OF the
character pretended passed between Capt Long

the resoluti IN Of Congress far different than WAS
designed by either house, before he lett Turkey,
and hat his views that subject after einbsrking
while hesitating at 6rst became finally conhrme
in the purposes of visiting the United States, with
the expectation of securing aid and co operation 10
the cause for which he proclaimed himself to be
enlisted. :,
Upon arriving at MarseiIles, objection was made
to his landing, which was overcome by pledge 70
sul Hodge, that no popular demonstration should
be provoked or arrayed The public now know
what happened. Subsequently crowds came on IN
boats anticipating an address rom nossuan
to him the propriety of retiring below 80 as 20

being compromised, as these gatherings threaten
ed to do temporary estran cement RESUMED
from this cause, which was afterwards reconciied
1t was here that Kossuh desired to be conveyed 70
England which Captain Long declined, for the
reason that such departure from Instructions
would transcend his authority.
Kossuth then asked to be landed at Gibraltar,
and in separating at that point from Captain ong
he embraced him, and Madame Kossuth exhibited
much emotion, as indicating their gratitude and
pain at parting. The correspondence is connneo
TO letters between Commodore Morgan and Capt.
Long, and from both to the department. There is
much detail as to the position OF some OF the suite
suggestions being made, upon apparently good evil
dence that the titles of some of its members were
conveniently assumed. 1t is also stated that the
private secretary of Kossuth was known 10 be a
champion of the Red Republicans in France.
When a call shall be made in Congress, the Presi
dent shall determine whether TO present the whole
testimony recorded, or portions of it, as may
seem most discreet in his judgment
