THE BucHANIER MEETING IN PnHLA-

blast about their late meeting in Philadel-
pha. 1t was represented as immense, over
whelmins, ets. The Times tells the story
as follows;
ssThe meeting yesterday, in Independence
Square, after all the immense preparation
which was made, was sorry failure. Il
was much inferior in point Of numbers to
the Democratic mass ratification meeting
held there, when Gen. Cass and Douglas
were present. The American meeting held
some time since, was infinitely greater in
point Of numbers. We have heard the num-
bcrs yariously estimated at two, three and
four thousand We should judge that the
number in the Square, mo time during the
| afternoon, exceeded three thousand; we had
been led to expect, from the extraordinary
efforts made by Forney and the State aud
city democratic committees to make this the
great demonstration of the season, that mol
less than twenty five OF thirty thousand per-
sons would be present.
The procession was also failure. There
was no enthusiasm, no spirit, no life in it.
