The locos had an enormous mass meeting adver-
tiscd for North East on last Saturday. They had
sINTEEN speakers named on their bills, including
many Of their able men all over the country, not
one Of whom was present. Their names were
published cheat and deception to delule the
peoplc-in accordance with the usual system Of
Buchanan tactics They had one speaker, how
ever the Hon. John CadwallalcI of Philadelphia.
whose remarkable speech we refer to elsewhere
There was very small crowd of people present
and Cadwalladers speech turned several voters
over to Fillmore from the Buchanan ranks He
spoke in Elkton in the evening and we have
heard three voters named as having declared that
he made them 60 for Fillmore instead of Duchan-
an. Pass him around again.

does not require it. DR. NJ. has been long enough
in politics to know that those who take an active
part in public meetings are liable to have Just
such references made to them. If we are correctly

Doctor was the presiding officer not only abused
