and all persons in Washington friendly to civil
and religious liberty, to meet at Carusis Sa-
loon on Wednesday evening" the goth, for the
purpose of organizing Democratic Associa-
ton in opposition to Know Nothingism, and
all other isms, a vast crowd gathered at the
time appointed, resolutions fercely denuncia-
tory of the Know Nothings and eloquent in
iaudation of the Administration, were reported,
put to vote, and decided by the President to be
carried although it would have puzzled any
body to say which were louder, the ayes or
noes. MIR. Florence was then introduced to the
meeting, but the uproar was SO great he could
not obtain hearing. Earnest appeals were
made By the President and various speakers
for quiet and order, but the more they appeal
ed, the more boisterous the crowd became;
and at last, amid great noise and confusion,
the meeting adjourned till three O'Clock, Friday
afternoon, at the same place.
The adjourned meeting was more orderly,
although the Know Nothings and other out
siders were present in so strong force, that,
immediately on the adjournment Of the Admin
istration men, they organized another meeting,
exercised themselves in various patriotic DEM
onstrations, and finally appointed commit
tee to make arrangements for meeting on the
evening of the 26th, at the City Hall.

Maine Election
In 365 towns, Morrill, has majority over all
others of $50. The returns from the few re-
naming towns may reduce or extinguish this
majority, but he will, of course, be elected by
the Legislature, should there be no election by
the People If there be no popular election,
the discredit belongs to the Hunker Wings
who, without single reason which common
senss can sanction, persisted in running Reed

Things In Ohio.
David T. Disney, thorough Pro-Slavery
man, has failed to secure a denomination for
Congress from the first Congressional district,
George N. Pendleton being nominated in his
place William S. Groesbech is the Admins
tration candidate in the second district. The
opposing candidates arc, ]. Scott Harrison, a
member of the present Congress, and Timothy
Day, Democrat, who runs as an independent
candidate
The Cleveland Pldindedler, double-tongued,
as usual, upholds the Administration, and de-
nounces the Anti-Slavery men, and at the same
time glorifes the Nebraska Bill, as opening to
Freedom "the territory lying south of SO deg.
80 min, large enough to make States equal
in size to New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, and Illinois" By such miserable delu-
sions does it strive to reconcile Ant-SIayery
men to Pro-Slavsry measure.

being the discoverer of the new doctrine Of
Popular Sovereignty, which he first elucidated
in his letter to Nicholson, the editor of the
Union. He devoted about three quarters Of
an hour to making his speech, which was
very weak rehash Of the arguments usually
employed by Douglasite orators. After he was
done, Douglasism was thus endorsed by resolu
ton of the State Convention:
RESOLVED, That the delegated Democracy Of
the State of Michigan here affirm their contin
ued support of the principles embraced in the
resolutions adopted by the Democratic Nation
al Convention which assembled in Baltimore
in June, 1852; and that the doctrine of Con
gressional non-intervention in the domestic
legislation of the State and Territories therein
embodied, harmonizes with the true spirit Of
our Institutions and is the only platform upon
which the Democratic party of the Union Car
maintain its nationality and its ascendcncy
and preserve the Union.
