9 Welearn from the Cincinnati Times, of the 4th
inst. that another great meeting of the friends OF
Fillmore and Donelson was held in that city on the
night of the Sd, for the purpose of ratifying the
nominations made that afternoon by the County Con
yention and hearing speech from the Hon. Humph-
rey Marshall Of Kentucky, who was in that city at
the time and had promised to address them.
As less than twenty-four hours notice had been
given not more than usual gathering was antici-
pated but by s o'clock one Of the greatest assem-
blages of people were present that had ever come
together in the city. With the exception, says the
Times of the Union mass meeting of the week pre-

made lengthy and very eloquent speech, in which
lie reviewed tile questions presented in the present
campaign; the policy of the different parties and the

lcan candidate, had no history as a statesman-no
public record except his short service in the Senate

stage at time When he might have distinguished
himself, being the compeer OF great men, and asked
to be shown any act by which he had done SO. He
had been Federaist and advocate Of the high tariff
and is now before the people as Democrat. He has
always been a subaltern-Iever the leader of his
party. He had turned 18th every turning. =.
