The occasional letting of Of fire-crackers by tho boys
in tie crowd. the performances of the band between
tie delivery of the addresses and the occasional tu-
multuous cheering of the assembly, together With
the heat Of the weather, some OF the announced
and unannounced speakers who crowded the
platform became simulated and excited be-
yond endurance. The Chairman evidently did
not call for speakers fast enough TO give opportunity TO
the Iising husiasm of tho champions OF liberty"
TO give expression TO their sentiments, they divided
into two companies each occupying rear corner Of
the plat fo TO give vent to their burning thought for
the ediiication of The men and boys below.
The western corner Of the platform was addressed
flint by j. WILKINSON SLEIGaT, Nj. d., who acted as
Chairman. lie said have met here for the purpose
of atestng our reputation and our antagonist hos

hored lis hearers TO take of the municipal inter

" connected. Ii would be necessary he thought for

to the ProbibiiOry Law on the ground of humanity.
Mr.. OLIVER related bis experience in coming to this
country; said he had been natur tlZed eleven years,
ard had been law-abiding citizen during that time.
lie stated the astounding fact that neither himself nor
children had during the whole OF that period been
taken before a ma y straie for misdemea1or.
Col. MAYSARD followed ia bis usual patriotic style,
declaring for freedom TO drink TO do anything bus
inclinaions might lead him TO as being the right Of
American citizens.
The speakers on the west end of the platform were
Judge MoRTEN, Mr.. MUSDAY and Mr.. McADAa, who
harsngued the multitude the great constitutional
privileges Of American citizens aud their shocking
infringement by The PIohibtory Law. None OF tho
spec, hes however seemed to indicate any very spcci
f or concerted plan Of action ia regard TO the Law,
some recommending, in all indirect manner open re
ssance but without showing in what that resistance
was To DC made effective. The balot-box was pro-
nounced the only legal means to overcome The dill
Guilty.
The final dissolution Of this great grog gathering
was accompanied by few consolatory pieces by the
band and the interested parties went away rejoicing
in the tremendous speeches that had been made, and
the prospect of continued corner-business after tho
Fourth of July.
