The daily comet. [volume] (Baton Rouge, La.) 1850-1856, 1852-10-15

According 10 notice ported abou, town, .
meeting took place at the Court House, on
Wednesday night. The impression PREVAIL
ed that the meeting was to give expression
to public feeling with regard to the treat
ment received by the Crescent City at the
hands Of the Spanish authorities in Cuba
the Court House was crowded. I. G..
Davidson was called to the Chair; r. C..
Nicholas, Col. D. J. Fluker and U. B.
Phillips, elected Vice Presidents; P. NJ.
Hatch, Secretary. On motion a committee
Of three were appointed to draft resolutions.
A. NJ. Dunn, J.J Burk and Geo. w. Chris
tine. According to appointment G. s.
Lacy addressed the meeting in very elo-
quent speech. in which he fully canyassed
all the questions at issue etween the par-
ties Messrs. Davidson, Dnnn. and Wood.
ridge spoke, before the committee repor-
ted resolutions. As the resolutions are
very lengthy (some sixteen in nun'ber.) we
must close on any further notice of the
meeting to give pace TO them. Had we
time OF place for comment upon them. we
should make war on the overweight pat
rio.ism embodied within them: which is
more on the Fvioso. order than anything
we have vet seen on the subject.
We dislike TO let them piss without saying
something about them. in order TO keep up
the reputation we have won in the COM
munity for Temperance. But thew must
com"-and come at once. whist there ia
