The Mass Meeting Of the people Of the

Not composed of packed delegations and pro-

sinew VI the county,"
Theft proceedings were characterized by
degree Of harmony and enthusiasm seldom
witnessed in political sssembages. Soeech.
es were made BY Messrs. Blythe. Of EvaDs-
vile. and Nc Masters, Of Princeton. After
consultation, Judge HALL, Of Princeton, was
nominated as q candidate for Congress by
reclamation! Judge Hall needs no intro

this nomination. He is worthy, estimabIe
and eminently qualified for the plsce--con.

constitution and It's compromises.
In our humble opinion, the adoption OF
any platform was unnecessary. Such man
as Judge Hall needs no platform. His whole
life is but an exempIifcation of the princi.
les of true patriotism, and certainly no one
need doubt him now.
But there are questions Of vital Importance

FALL ELEcrIoSs.-The following is a list
the States yet to vote this fall, and the
time of holding their elections:

WONDERFUL PREsERvArIoSs.-A writer
in the Boston Recorder, as an illustration oil
Providental care relates the following mar.
velous incident, and vouches for it au,hen.
tic:
Elias Boudinot, founder Of the American
Bible Society, was returning in chaise
to his home, late in a dark night, from
court he had been attending many days.
He did not know that a recent ireshet had
carried away oil the plank from the long
bridge that lay in his accustomed path.
Therefore he drove right on, as though there
were a bridge there, and reached home
safely. His friends inquired by what road
he came. "The usual road" he replied.
impossible, said they, "there are TO
planks en- the bridge" He persisted, and
they, trembling for his verscity or his sanity,
eagerly went with him next morning early
to survey. When arrived, they found the
very tracks Of the carriage at either end of
the bridge and on the sleepers, and the very
footprints Of his horse on a central sleeper.
There was no more to be said; sanity and
veracity were both safe. Some power had
presided over the instinct Of that horse, had
ordained the correspondence of those wheels
with the sIeepers over which they passed,
and kept the man in ignorance Of his danger.
Was that power fate or chance!
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1854-09-04

ELEcTIoSsERISG TRIcKs.-We see il stated
that, just before the recent election in Iowa
dispatches, newspaper extras, and handbills
were sent all over Iowa announcing that
Congress had passed the homestead bill, and
reminding poor men that for this they were
indebted to Democratic Congress and Pres.
ident. Politicians in Iowa say that this
dodge lost the nti.Nebraska ticket one
thousand votes.
This reminds US that on the eve of the
election in North Carolina q telegra phic
despatch was sent from Washington stat.
ing that euery Wing member of the House Of
Representatives had voted to repeal the fup.
tive slave law, and that all the Democrats
had voted on the other side! No ouch vote
was taken during the session.

Rnrc ConsistencY.

Probably some few Of our fellow.citize M
may recollect that certain Col. May ad
dressed the good people here last week, in a
vehement speech in favor Of the Nebraska
law and against congressional interference
with the question Of slavery in the terrific.
ries. Well this same distinguished or extin.
guished Col. May, wasa member of Dem.
ocratic convention in 1s49, which passed
the following resolution:
Resolved, That while Congress has no au.
thority to interfere with the domestic policy
OF the several States, il has undoubted pow.
er to legislate for all our territories, whether
newly acquired or not, upon the question or
slavery-to permit or prohibit it's exercise
theren-and that il is its imperative duty to
pass such laws as will effectually prevent the
introduction Of the peculiar institution into
any territory now free.
II it was right in ls4s for Congress to leg
islate for our territories upon the subject OF
slavery, is it not right now! This illustrates
the hypocrisy and Inconsistency Of Col.
May, just as we have already proven the
the same for that other orator, Dr. Fitch
As Tor Mr.. Mcdonald, the third orator, who
was in company with Col. May to illuminate
this benighted region, he was nominated for
Congress by the very Democratic convention
which passed the above resolution! What
rare Nebraska birds these distinguished gen.
tlemen are. Ha! Ha! Ha!
