Here the assemblage, as if tired of roaring,
came to a dead pause. The silence was but short
however. Calls for Kelly, Rynders, Chadsey,
&C., were vigorously persisted in, until Mr.. Mes
bitt informed the audience that he was very SOr-
ry, as a Democrat, that Rynders was not here
as he used to be.
DR.. Chadsey then came forward and made a
short speech, which was frequently interrupted
by the Clisorderly conduct of the throng. He

platform commenced shouting for Judge Morris,
of Long Island. The Judge, who was seated ut
the reporters table, resnlutely refused to move.
He was dragged by main force, however, to the
stand, and there informed the crowd that he was
not present TO make speech, but would be
happy to crafty them on some more convenient
occasion. This being deemed satisfactory, he
was permitted to retire.
