Esq, as chairman, and Mr.. George Hardness,

Again Mr.. Campbell essayed to speak, and
this time the largest liberty was afforded him.
He spoke of having gone to copp's not as an
invited guest, but as one Of tho old Wings,
thinking he might be allowed corner in that

" He's an Abolitionist
Mr.. Campbell proceeded to define his posi-
ton on the slavery question. He would say
there what be would say at home in Ohio, or
elsewhere. Slavery was fastened upon the
country by Northern as well as Southern votes.
He did not believe it an institution calculated
to encourage the industrial resources of the
country where it existed; but he recognized
no higher power than the Constitution Of the
country.
On the conclusion of Mr. Csmpbell's re-
marks, three cheers were given for Willard
Fillmore
Mr. Richard 8 Coke came forward in an
swer to the call. Itwas many years, he said,
since he had addressed a political meeting
He bad been called an aristocrat; he did ut
know why. He believed in the intelligence
OF the people In speaking of the present
troublous political times, he alluded to past
dangers of dissolution when parties were ar
rayed against each other even more bitterly
than now, but which had been allayed by the
healing influence of the people. He looked
with horror upon these outrages in Kansas,
but believed that the people would fix the
proper punishment upon the perpetrators.
The meeting adjourned with nine cheers for
Fillmore.
DAVID Y MOORE, the " fast voter" who
escaped from the county Jail with Bailey.
Croggin, and Ray, a week since, was recap.
tured about O'Clock this morning in an alley
opposite st Patrick's Church, by Deputy
Marshal Phillips, assisted by Messrs F Ward
and Dove of the Auxiliary Guard, and Riley
and Ward of the Jail guard. He arrived in
the city about half an hour previous to his ar
rest. The information having been obtained,
the deputy Marshal arranged his assistants
and trapped the fugitive N the alley desig-
mated. He offered no resistance when taken,
and was returned to his old quarters.
The information was given by person re-
siding near the house where Moore lived at the
time of his arrest. Moore's family moved out
OF the house, and he probably knew nothing
Of 1t lie went to the house, ard the person
who notified the Ofi,er saw him, and gave the
information which led to his re-capture.
TIE EXCITEMENT NUIsANCE.-Ifth the yellow
fever fails to run riot here shortly, the escape
OF this community from its rayages will be
wonderful Those who doubt the fact are in
yited to go anywhere Of a calm day within
half mile of the place near the Seventh
street road, whereOn the human excrement of
the city is spread for manufacture for agri-
cultural purposes. Everywhere within the
distance OF that spot mentioned above, the
smell on such day is almost sufficient to stun
a bullock. Men may swear what they please
as regards the healthfulness of such an odor,
on trials for making and keeping up nuisances;
yet piles of oaths mountain high, will fail to
make such tainted atmosphere innoxious.
Since the action of the Court upon the subject
we know OF no remedy whatever, that this
community have against this growing and dan
gerous evil.
WHO'S COMMISSIONER OF THE FOURTH WARD
The late rain washed away the foot bridge at
the corner of Fifth and G streets, with a goo

remedied, by the simple process of mailing a
plank across the pavement, which throws pc
destrians into the street. What makes the
case the more conspicuous is, that the scene
OF damage is just opposite the store of the late
Commissioner, OF whose promptness and faith.
