Point.

Notwithstanding the rain and cloudy weather. the
meeting on Felps Point last evening was well attended
exhibiting spirit in the opening OF the campaign which
must pioneer the party on TO victory
CharlesJ. nj. Gwlnn, esq, one OF the electors, first
spoke and we regret that we have not copy OF his able
remarks 10 present 10 our readers-the speech was
perfect gem.
Mr. Robinson, OF Indiana, followed Mr.. G. This gen.
tleman, who now fills his third term as member OF
Congress from Indiana spoke with great force and eo
quence. He reviewed the positions occupied by the two
parties, and showed clearly the fate reserved for the
country ii II was inrusted TO counsels so dubious In
character as those which must surround General Scott
He showed, Also the want of full acquescence which
the wing candidate exhibited in the very principles OF the
whg party, doubtful they were. We have rarely
listened to speech OF greater agumenative force and
power than that delivered by MIR. Robinson, and we only
regret that we cannot have the pleasure OF hearing him
oener at our political meetings.

ered as eecior al large, summary OF those opinions
