TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. IA, 1852.
The Meeting YESTERDAY.

Notwithstanding the doubt about Judge Douglas be-
ing able TO attend the meeting yesterday, it
was large and respectable-not to compare with the
great gatherings OF 1910, admit-but il was quite
as large anticipated from the shortness of the
notice. The weather bore indications of inclemency
and the meeting adjourned to the State House.
Judge Douglas, who had arrived in the cars address
ed the crowded Hall in speech of mastery eoquence
and convincing arguments. 1t certainly great
effort, and could not have failed convince every
PreIudeed mind OF the aIacy Of the Wing doc
trines, and the hopeless prospects of the election Of Gen.
Scott He did not indulge in vtuPeration abuse of
Gen Scott but dealt bis blows at the principles of the
party.
We shall not attempt to detail the speech We could
not do justice to its great force and power We shall
have TO say hereafter.

Jobu HI. Bradley and the swamp Lands.

This great am of the Wing party IN Indiana, IS
determined to claim all the credit of securing to the
State the decision which secured to Indiana forty thou
sand dollars on the swamp lands Gov Wright, he
saws is entitled to credit that he bradley went to
Washington and had the thing done.
This whole history is in a shell, and we propose
10 give i, as II is The grant Of the swamp lands was
one of those accidental wndfas that happened in this
way Being a member OF Congress at the time, we
know all about it, In the 30th Congress, bill passed
granting the swamp lands lying in Louisiana to the
State on the condition that they drained In the
3lst Congress, Mr. Johnson, the member OF Congress
from Arkansas introduced similar bill applicable to
that State On motion of Mr.. Hail. Of Missouri the
bill was made general and to apply to the swamp lands
in all the States where there government lands
In this shape the bill passed. Gov. Wright took mme-
date steps to have the lands selected by the county
veyors. He wrote to R. W. Thompson to attend to
this business before the Secretary of the Interior and to
the directions instructions from the Depart
ment.
Now for Mr.. Bradley's agency About this time it
will be reeolected that Mr. Bradley became suddenly
enamored with the hopes of good fat office. He had
opposed the election of Taylor and Fillmore and had
voted for Van Buren, and Adams. He had opposed the
compromise bills, which created the territories OF new
Mexico and Utah, yet he exceedingly anxious to
be Governor Of one of those territories. He had, by
the mportunate dunnng, obtained a long list of
recommendations He wanted to 20 to Washington
and in person present his claims to Mr. Fillmore and
by the mode of dunning that he used get
to his recommendation, be induced Gov. Wright to ap.
point HIM attend to this swamp land interest in
Washington in company with Mr.. Thompson, which
might, and would have been done, by a simple letter
from the Governor TO the Department. Bradley went
to Washington, presented his recommendation, but
failed get the Office Of Governor of New Mexico, be-
cause he was a freesoIler. He remained in Washing
ton day two, visited the Land Office in company
with R. W. Thompson, and returned home. This is all
that he did.
If Gov. Wright had waited most of the State
Governors did, for Legislative action Indiana
would have lost forty thousand dollars by the operation
Without the sanction of Gov. Wright, neither Thomp
Bradley could have done anything
There is just about much gratitude in Bradley
we expected to find. 1t will teach Gov. Wright in lu-
ture to be little careful in selecting his agents
Experience is school in which the wise as well as the
foolish always learn something

New York Democracy.

The Albany Argus speaks follows in regard to the
results of the late Democratic Convention in that State
ssThe results of the deliberations of the convention
are now known throughout the State and already the
responses of the Democratic Press have reached us,
even from its most extreme points.
"These responses we need scarcely say are Of the
same unvarying and gratifying tenor. Every where
the nominations appear TO be received not only with
tire satisfaction but with reoicngs. The voice Of
graduation and of confidence in the issue of the contest
heard from every quarter where the results had trans
pred.
"The nominations were the results Of liberal spirit OF
Cancellation and concession. Those who the pro-
ceedings cannot fail to perceive that this the spirit
which animated that portion Of the convention which
had the ascendancy in the temporary organization and
after the conflicting claims seats settled, the
clear and undispued ascendancy in the permanent or.
ganization and in the subsequent proceedings. This
spirit that quarter led the harmony and unanimty
which characterized the action Of the convention the
selection of the strong and unexceponable ticket pre-
scented for the support of the united Democracy of the
State-and TO the good feeling animation, and conf
dence with which that body finally separated
"The same spirit Of Cancellation and concession ap-
pears to have gone from the convention to all parts
Of the State; and from the tone Of the Democratic
press, feel the gratifying thet with united
energies and harmonious counses the Democracy Of the
State prepared enter into the great which

AS GOES NEW York GOES THE UNIoN-The
Buffalo Commercial (Scott Whig) has some very sensi-
BILE remarks the prospect in New York. 1t sets out
with the following:
at seems to be conceded all hands, that the vote OF
New York decide the Presidential election-hat the
contest is really narrowed down to this State. "As
goes New York SO goes the Unionn No President was
chosen against her VOTE and the election Of 1852

admission"
1t finally comes TO the following frank conclusion:
"At the same time, we cannot shut our eyes to the
fact that there is occasional indications in different quar-
ters fitted to erce some approximations in the minds of all

On the nomination Of Gen. Scott the Wings expected

their hopes. They shouted to the charge, but there

Now should like to know what these thousands

Greeley calls them, expect gain by elccting General
Scott. In 1910 the Wings and Gen. Harrison inveighed
against party and party spirit No decar of prin

Now if any Democrat has made up his mind aban-

for Gen. Scott who tells us, if he is elected, he will
look among the Wings for those to carry out the
of the Wing party, and he will administer the
government as to produce union and harmony among
the Wing party. These his published pledges,
which he will redeem. But Greeley and the Wings
think that there is large class of citizens who
ashamed of openly procaimng their sentiments in favor
of Scott, will sneak the election and put for
him, all the time claiming to be Democrats The man
who talks understands but little of the native nde
pendencs OF our people. The man who openly advo-
Gates the election of Cen Scott is prince compared to
him who will do the deed and dare not it. Such
things may be done in the land of serdom but here the
poorest that walks the rich and teeming earth of

dare do. The votes of Demscrats in this country

The Meanest Thing on Record.

Among the items of extravaganza and corruption set
forth in the Whg "ExpOsitor," got up and circulated
for the benefit of Nicholas McCarty and the Wing par
ty, is the following:
Funerals ................. .S52S.I3'
bers died. to- wit:
Henry Hostetter, Of Vermillion
Joseph c. Holiday, of Blackford
Bradford Glazebrook, Of Putnam.
Isaac Morris, of Henry.
According the custom of the Indiana Legislature,
every State Legislature in the Unon and the Congress
OF the United States, their deceased members were
buried at the expense of the State They died in the
service of the State and their remains sent
their families in charge Of committees. The whole ex-
penses OF these four funerals amounted to the sum
above.
Heretofore of any political party has been
heartess and souess enough object such expen-
dtures That honor is reserved for the author Of the
Wing "Expositor"-the same who So violently con.
dennis Gen. Pierce for refusing vote s25 900 as
present TO the widow Of Gen. Harrison.
More than eight hundred thousand dollars have been
expended in the funeral expenses Of Harrison Taylor,
Adams, and Clay, yet Democrat has complained.
We do not charge this thing the Wing party of In
diana. The Wing members of the Legislature voted
for these expenses and they will spurn and despse
small soued man who would dig up the ashes Of the
dead and harrow up the feelings of the widows and
friends oil the deceased, to make few for party
purposes Desperate indeed must be the fortune of the
Wing clique Indianapolis, when they will resort to
such despcable means.

The Swamp Lands.

The Democratic members of Congress, according to
the Wings, entitled credit for obtaining the

nothing do with obtaining the order for the
