Flllmorc meeling in Row orleans.


The press of other matters upon our
columns has prevented us from making
note of the recent Fillmore and Donelson
demonstration in New Orleans. 1t was in
response to call for the revival of the
FILLMORE RANGERs"-the Old Guard of
the glorious battle of 184S-ahd all agree
was one of the noblest and most enthusiast
tic meetings ever held in New Orleans.
The following account is from the Bulletin.
Read it Americans! 1t will do your hearts
good:
"GREAr FILLMORE RALLY AT 0DD FELLOWS
HALL New Orleans sends greeting to her sister
cities OF the South and West and East and North.
She spoke last evening at Odd Fellows Hall, and
in tones that viii be likely to be understood A
Fillmore gathering, such never before assembled
in that building, took place, and Fillmore shout
was heard that will reverberate over hill and valley,
along the plains, and over the prairies, and be
echoed back till the spirit of it shall be caught by
the entire South 1t was an 1910 aud '4S redivivus.
1t was the response 10 the great Fillmore meeting
in New York, and it a response too to those
who think it st and decent revile and vilfy the
and directing the whi wind OF the times, aud out
Of them bring peace and safety.
| Notwithstanding the intense heat of yesterday,
and the luxury OF the cool breeZes of the evening,
Odd Fellows Hail. the largest in the city, was not
only crammed by dense mass of citizens inside,
but the doors, windows and every accessible place,
presented dense throng of people, as though some
extraordinary spectacle was about TO be exhibited.
We could not get near enough to make out who the
| al sknN Morn
E. Adams presided As we entered Mr. Glendy
Burke was just mounting the platform, at the call
of the multitude. "Fillu ore Rangers" said he,
and the words were no sooner uttered than the
house shook with a tumutuous shout. He spoke
but q few homents, but every sentence elected ap
plause from the vast multitude He ives followed
by II. A. Fou;e Esq, who greeted by perfect
storm of enthusiasm from beginning to end.
Occasionally, ss he spoke for the preservation OF
the Union and Mr. Fillmore, the whole audience
rose their feet, waving their bats amid long aud
vociferous cheering In the midst of his speech, a
company entered, bearing one of the identical BAN
ners which were borne on TO victory in lS48, with
the names "Tayo and Fillmore inscribed upon it.
We wish the whole country could have witnessed
the scene that followed. We cannot describe, and
shall not attempt it. We never witnessed wilder
scene Of POLITICAL pleasurabe excitement. As soon
as Mr.. Foute could be heard again, he closed, and
chained the multitude for about halt hour, by
lucid and powerful appeal for the Union, and the
election of Mr.. Fillmore as the only means OF pre-
serving it, being constantly interrupted by cheer
after cheer, though it were impossible to help it
OH the part of those present. The meeting exhib-
tied the right spirit We could not have wished a
better more enthusiastic one.
We have not room to extend these remarks. We
say again that New Orleans sends greeting TO her
sister CITIES throughout the Onion, as well as to
Louisiana and the neighboring States. The assem-
blage of the Fillmore Rangers last evening is an
earnest of what the conservative Fillmore men OF
the country may expect Of her IN the day OF trial
Light up the watch fires. Take the banners and
inscribe upon them those words of hre-"The
Union-it must be preserved" Millions OF hearts
will throb in determined exultation in response
and thev will preserve it
We ought 10 add that the Fillmore Rangers were
duly organized as Club, and Mr. E. I. Parker
chosen President.
After the adjournment of the meeting they form
ed into lice aud marched to the strains Of martial
music through the streets amid continued cheers.
Thus opens brightly and gOriously the campaign
