 The immense gathering at the democratic meeting surprised the most sanguine of the op- ponents of the dark lantern conspiracy, at its numbers, enthusiasm, and marked determina- tion to sedeem Indiana from the embraces of both "Sam" and "Sambo."
 The preliminary meeting on last evening, filled the Representatives Hall, at the State House, to tooverhowing Numbers were compel led to ostand outside or leave the house, from ina bility to hear the speeches of the evening.
 This meeting was organized by calling the Hon. John W. Davis late Governor of Oregan, to the chair, when it was addressed by Gov Wright, in an effective speech of one hour and half in length, a synopsis of which I forward, as cut from this mornings Sentinel, for publi- cation in your issue of Friday.
 He was followed by the Hon. John L. Robin son, who exposed the trade and dicker made between Sam and the abolitionists, on the 18th of July last and the conquest made by the avowed abolitonsts, of the redoubtable "Ame- rlcan party'' in Indiana.
 The immense meeting of to-day was or ganized in the State House square, at II o. clock A. M, by the appointment of the follow ing officers
 President.-Alvn P. Hovey, of Posey county.
 Vice Presidents (being one from each Con- gressonal district:
 NJ. J. Bray, P. J. Howard, Z Tannehll. J :. 5. Foley, James Osborn, J. N. Gregg, J. Hum- phreys Jacob---, R. F. Grces, Daniel Day, James N. Lewis.
 Secretaries.-John G. Norman G. w. Lane. J. W. Dodge, and w. E. McLain.
 Mir. Mcdonald moved that committee of one from each Congressional district be appoint ed, to whom all resolutions of a political charac. ter should be referred, which was unanimously adopted
 The following gentlemen were then appoint ed J. E. Mcdonald, c. R. Dyer, P. NJ. Kent, S. Buskirk, John W. Spencer Edward John son, Alex. Morrison, w. M Franklin, J. Lowry, Samuel Hall, and J. w. Doda.
 Seats had been arranged for an audience of 5000, with stand for the officers and report CTS, on the lawn in front of the State Honse. but they were found entirely insufficient, and also that no speaker could be heard by the im- mense audience filling the squares
 The Hon. John G. I'avis, cf Parke county was therefore appointed chairman of another meet ing, and stand erected at the east of the capi- tol, for the officers and speakers.
 Meantime, Washington street, measuring 12O feet in width, was filled, as approaching the capitol, with additional delegations arriving on the ground from the several counties of the State
 The first described meeting after some happy and pertinent preliminary remarks, by Mr. Twyman, of the Paducah Democrat, was ad- dressed by Col. E. B. Carpenter, of Covington, Ky, in speech of two hours in length, in which Sam received "post mortem" exami- ,l, o1o IL. like tiayng alive. He commenced by remark ing that while, as Kentuckian, he might feel shame at the deeds of violence and cruelty per petrated upon her soil, he might claim, with more truth than the Pharisee, to thank God that he was not like other men, who had done the work or commttei the sin; nor, as a demo- crat, could he hesitate to speak the same sent;- ments on the soil of Indiana as in Kentucky, while the followers of the omnipotent Sam must crouch to Sambo, as the worship of the latter was dictated in Indiana, by Henry Will son and his asSociatcs-the reason was obvious, that the democracy was the party of the na- tion
 The prcmonitory whistle of the locomotive admonishes me that I must defer any further account of this "dissection' of Slm until another opportunity to describe the able speech of Col. Carpenter.
 He was followed by Gov. Willard.
 At the other stand speeches were made by Gov. Davis, Hon. Mr. Alen of the Shaw neetorun district, Ill., and others.
 The committee on resolutions have noty vet reported, but are understood to have agreed unanimously, to report upon resolutions in support of popular soverei i5nty," as applied in the Nebraska and Kansas bill, and ex posing the pirate flag of know nothingjsm in its black de- formity, in contrast with the bright banner of our country, 50 long embematic of our demo- cratic institutions.
