ed, and passed of delightfully."- in every Par
ticular. There were representatives, pres
ent from every district in the State-united,
they had all secured the greatest political
victory ever achieved in the State by any
party-so If they did not have a delightful
time at this meeting, il was all their own
fault. We only wish we could have been
present on the occasion, as one of the repre-
sentatives Of the "banner district" Of Dem
ocracy, but which this election had its Dem
ocratc majority reduced two thousand.
By 10 o'clock on the morning Of the LIST,

Of Ripley. President, with one Vice-Presi-
Douglas Mcguire and E. H. Ellis, CT the La
fayette Courier, Secretaries. The shall was
opened" by Col. Henry :. Lane in one Of his
happiest efforts.
Col Lnpe's speech is spoken of in the
highest rms, as most alb effort.
He was followed by Hon. Sam. Parker, in

chilly elucidated the great Importance OF the
late election, and the necessity Tor an adher-

been eff cited. IL had demonstrated that the
people Gould always be trusted TO protect
their Interests aud rights, and however they
might have yielded to the influence of party

AT the close Of his speech, the assembl,

enough, and broad enough for the Who'll.
American people to stand upon; which wa.
adopted unanimously, and with great ap

gress over the famous DIR. Odds, made one q
his best speeches. He was followed by Nj
Riley, Of Hancock, and by Mr.. Orth, Of La
