dress them from the portico Of Browns Hotel At
the time appointed the entertainment "came of, /"
though certainly not in the manner desired by Mr..
Wise and his friends nor by any lover Of proprety
and good order. Our readers will not be surprised
to learn that not present to participate in
the performances Of the evening, nor to listen to
the sayings or look upon the scenes presented.
The Union" of yesterday records the event
concisely. II states that mass meeting Of the
Democratic citizens Of Washington had been an.
nounced to be held in front Of Browns Hotel at 9
o'clock on Saturday evening" with the view Of ex-
changing congratulations on the result of the re-
cent Gubernatorial election in Virginia; that long
before the hour named large concourse Of people
had assembled on the avenue, extending from 9Th
siastic call for Mr. Wise soon brought that gentle
man to the balcony in front of the hotel that
when he commenced speaking his voice was liter
ally drowned by Interruptions; and that, finding
be could not be heard he and his friends left their
opponents in possession of the ground
A professional and usually accurate reporter has
presented to us the following sketch Of the brief
remarks Of Mr.. Wise, to which we give place, un-
der the impression that 1t presents faithful YER
eion of all that WINS and and done
At nine o'clock Mr.. Wise was introduced from
the balcony to the auditory, and was greeted with
applause by portion Of the crowd, and boots and
Kisses by another portion. He commenced his
speech as follows:
Fellow-citizens of Washington, / never regret
ted more in my life than now that have not more
strength. 1t is not generous to trample on pros
trate foes. [Cries Good and hear accompa-
MED by groans and other noisy demonstrations
But II ever q man might be allowed TO put his
heel on the neck of an enemy, might be pardon
ed for doing so tonight Renewed Interruptions.
If there was ever an opponent domineering and
dctatorial It is that illiberal party which assumes
now to rule America. "Sam" has boastcd that he
was the invisible invincible but have met the
black knight with his vizor down, and his shield
and lance are broken He had crossed the North,
stamping his foot, so that the nation might feel
the shaking of the earth. But he travelled In the
night, with dark lantern In hand, and just before
day, the darkest time Of the night to do his boast
ing. Men became appalled,, their blood curdled in
heir veins, their muscles crowded on their bones,
and fears came over the minds of the people. l
had proclaimed that this invisibis invinciblc was
easily conquersble. knew the rock Of defence,
and that rock was the indomitsble Democracy--
Here, as at every preceding sentence, there was
noisy interruption.
Mr.. Wise then briefly related the travel perform
ed and the oratorical tolls endured by him during
the canvass in Virginia, and continued follows
Notwithstanding that Sam has achieved victo-
ries in the North / knew he could not meet the
masses Of the people in their primary sssemblages
in Virginia knew he could not stand before
the pibroch and trump OF liberty. He might live
in the land of the secret ballot, but he could not
survive the vipa roce Of the people Of Virginia. BY
that voice Sam was overwhelmingly conquered In
the Old Dominion. [Applause, cries Of huzza for
Sam, Kisses, groans, dc.
That is a demonstration, suppose, OF liberty,
Of Americans ruling America. The ear Of the peo-
pie is not to be allowed 10 listen to the language
Of liberty. Not only are these Sans hurrahing for
the destruction Of religious liberty but they would
trample on the freedom Of the pen and Of speech.
