'sGreat Fillmore Rally at Odd Fellops'
HaH-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 will be I;kely
TO be understood. A Fillmore gathering,
such rs never before assembled in that build.

/ heard that will reverberate over hill and val

caught by the entire South. 1t was an ls4O
and '4S redvvus. 1t was the response to the
great Fillmore meeting in New York, and it
was n response too to those who think il fit
and decent to reve and ylify the only man

tefday, and the luxury Of the cool breezes Of
the evening, Odd Fellows Hall, the largest in
the city, was not only crammed by dense
mass of citizens inside, but the doors, wn-
! dows and every accessible place, presented
dense throng Of people, as though some ex.
traordinary spectacle was about to be exhibit
ed. We could not get neai enough TO make
out who the officers were, but we were told
that Mr.. Thomas E. Adams presided. As we
entered Mr.. Glendy Burke vas just mounting
the platform, at the call Of The multitude
"Fllmore Rangers" said he, and the words
were no sooner uttered thar the house shook
with tumultuous shout. He spoke but
few moments, but every sentence ELECTED ap-
plause from the vast multitude. He was fol-
lowed by NJ. A. Foute, ESQ.,, who was greeted
by perfect storm of enthusiasm from Begin
ming to end.

audience rose to their feet, waving their hats
amid long and vociferous cheering. In the

borne on to victory in l848, with the names

describe, and shall not attempt it. We never
witnessed a wilder scene Of political, peasur

be heard again, he closed, and was succeeded
by ]. w. Harmon, ESQ., who enchaned the
multitude Cor about half an hour, by lucid
, and powerful appeal for the Union, and the
election Of Mr.. Fillmore as the only means of
preserving it, being constantly interrupted bv

The meeting exhibited the right spirit. We
could not have wished better or more en-
thusastic one.
We have not room to extend these remarks.
We say again that New Orleans sends greet
ing to her sister cities throughout the Union,
as well as 10 Louisiana and The neiehboring
States. The assemblage OF the Fillmore
Rangers last evening isan earnest of what
The conservative Fillmore men Of the country
may expect of her in The day OF trial. Light

inscribe upon Them thos, words OF lire-"1'he
Union--it must be preserved" Millions of
hearts will tbrob in determined exultation in
response-and they will preserve IL.

gers were duly organized as a Club, and MIR.
E. T. Parker chosen President.
After the adjournmen,of the meeting, they
formed into line and matched 10 the strains of
martial music through the streets amid con-
tinued cheers.
Thus opens brightly and gloriously the
campaign here.
"IooK ON THIS PIcTUREW-"Ex. President
Van Buren, and Son support Buchanan"
Reader, where do you imagine we found
the above precious scrap Of intelligence! Do
not suppose fora moment that we clipped il
from some Anti Buchanan paper at the South.
Not a bit of it. On the contrary, we copy
il from the Intelgencer & Lancasterian, Mr..
Buchanan's home organ, published in The city
OF Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the residence of
the squatter sovereign candidatel

and asl yourselves what It means? II WINS

that Journal to drive off the Freesoil and
Buffalo Platform men from the support Of
Mr.. Buchanan.
GREELEY LIVING AT THE END OF TELE.
GRAPH WIRE.-The advance in the pay OF
members OF Congress, has caused great con.
sternation in ile mind OF Horace Greeley,
+, who thinks the country is about to I've swal.
lowed up in whirlpool of extravaganza. A
charge has been made that Greeley while in
Washington last winter, lived at The rale Of
S25 per week, but in extenuation for this a.
mazing outlay on his part, he says che was
obige 10 live at the end Of ntelegrapl, wire
which member Of Congress is not. As n
Member, he could have lived as well as he
desired and kept every necessary expense
within $40 per week."
JoHN RASDoLH's REBUKs TO HIS NEGROES.
Returning to Roanoke after long absence
John Randolph discovered that the negroes
had been very negligent. The barns were
empty, and there was nothing TO eat He de-.
termined TO assemble the negroes and give
them talk. "Ladies and gentlemen" said
he, ~ appear before you with great diffidence
on The present occasion; perhaps, ladies' and
gentlemen, you feel as deeply MS do, for af.
ter inspecting The barns, cannot lind any
evidence of your industry during NV absence.
What is to be dones We have nothing to
eat, and TO avoid starvation, one of us must
necessarily run away. Now, ladies' and gen.
tlemen, have proposition TO make, which
is this; that as one OF us must run away, we
had better compromise the difficulty, and
