The CELEBRATION YESTERDAY.

a very large audience assembled at

o'clock, to listen to the Grafton of our
friend Robt. f. Mediation Esq. A
press of other matters prevented our
presence during the whole discourse,
but we were there long enough to
Judge of the burden of the song.
Mr.. Mediation possesses all lie e.
ments Of q popular Speakers elo-
qucnt and brings to aid, a very poetic
turn of mind, combined with much
profound reading. His Grafton yes
terday was decidedly mastery effort :;
and well delivered. But we think that
he dealt rather severely with an ilnag-

make our pen particularly facile and
glib ia abuse, we must indulge the
luxury and vent our spleen on The
town at large, and the miserable set Of
stark mad sane and scmi-sane bi-peds
inhabiting it. What we are about tc
say should not perhaps be styled
abuse" for every word is deserved
and deserved richly. We defy any
man with half an eye, to look at the
proceedings Of a meeting Of citizens at
the Court House few nights ago
read the resolutions, and gel the gisi
of the buncomb speeches made on that
occasion against The Senator from this
district, without coming to the unhi-
assed conclusion, that this place above
all other places il a great place-a
place than which none other is to be
found any where on the map of crea-
ton more huge i'll its proportions
What has been the result of the ac-
ton Of that meeting, Has it not
been a slur-a ref, elton upon the
Judgment of the whole concentrated
wisdom Of the State in General assem-
DIV convened ? II has. And we mar
vel not, that they have become TO some

We premise thus much. from the pro-
eecdings Of the Indignation meeting.
and from the tenor of the huncomh
speeches made on that occasion. We
should like to know how it is, that this
people is more Interested in the wei

FIRE Fairly On "Wednesday night
a fire broke out NM the Advocate
office, and the building was nearly
consumed before any alarm was civ
en-. The street was soon iammcd up
with people, yet none had the temeri-
ty to cry out Fire most inter
csting cry. when one is not interested
in plank houses. The fire was in close
companionship with number Of ven
cradle old fame buildings; and all
would soon have been swept out Of
existence, but for the promptness with
which the two fire companies were on
shc spot and the fact that the cistern
ut the corner of Third and Church
streets, was full. Fer few moments,
our neighbor Of the Advocate, was in
a warm place, and fellow feeling
was INDUCED in, on orr part for him.
for this has been our position for a
time back. BY the way, the gentle
man who deposited a few kegs of gun
powder in our front office, will ohlige
US to send and get the same. We
like not the smell Of saltpeter.
The Boston Transcript SAYS that
the coolest spot vet heard from, is
