The Gardner men had "a great rally at Faneu
hall last Thursday evening. BY the aid Of bands
of music, torches banners and transparencies they
gathered several thousand men and boys.
The meeting was presided over by George WASH
ington Warren, formerly rabid Union-savipg
Wing, Of no especial note or standing In his
opening address he significantly declared that he
went for a broad American platform, that is
American and nothing else' [Tumultuous applause

the Anti. Slavery measures of the last Legislature
as impolitc and reasonable, and was in short as
strongly Hunkerish as his natural feebleness would
allow.

resolutions were read evidently written by his ex-

might have added. But there can be no question
of the correctness of this resolution. The poll
ticans who understand their trade have all turned
their backs upon Gardner. His supporters are
merely amateurs, whose knowledge OF politics Will
never hurt them.
