Here young gentleman, announcing himself as
\. w. Drake, made long, rambling speech.
The audience became inpatient, and Harry
Williams, the Chairman, pulled him by the coat
tail, and that having effect, DIR. Hobbs moved
that the meeting adjourn.
Here a scene of uproar ensued amid which the
Chairman put motion that the address shouldbe
printed and circulated far and wide The motion
was carried
Dr. Hobbs renewed his motion for adjournment,
which was violently opposed by the Chairman,
who said the business was unfinished
The strife and confusion continued for some
time, Williams ever and anon shaking his fist at
his opponents, when at length the matter was cut
short by proposition that this meeting be now
dissolved, to meet again to appoint Delegates to
the National Convention to nominate Daniel Web
ster for the Presidency.
The motion was put and carried, and the meet
ing then separated.
