A meeting was held at Hamden on Thurs
1ay evening last and the preliminary steps
taken to form Buchanan Club. The school
house was pretty well crowded and consid-
atable enthusiasm was manifested by the
Democrats present. Brief addresses were de-
livered BY Judge Hewitt and 3. F Bingham
Of this place, and by Mr.. Spencer, of Park
srsburgh, Va, who happened to be there
through a failure 10 connect with the Mari
eta road. The eloquent remarks OF Mr. 5.
drew shouts ofhearVy applause from the au'
iiencs, and we trust disabused the minds q
come persons presentas to the feelings ol the
southern people for their brethren in the Tree

the efforts oi the firs-eaters Of the South, and
the intensiHers OF the North, to bring about q
collision between those who should. as ~
