Our Neighbor was in very bad way last
week, in view of an abolition meeting that was
to come off at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 2Sth
and 29th., having for its professed object to
promote separation Of the Free from the
Slave States, and the call for which was sign
ed by the enormous number of 6O33, some of
them hailiRg from Iowa. This is the last day
of the meeting, and we have awaited its COM
ing with fearful forebodings on account OF the
probably increased excitement and purtuba-
ton of our neiehbor, and have fervently pray,d
that on his account the said Abolitionists
might have the goodness to postpone the catas-
trophy until he acquires more tone of system,
to enable him to bear up under the calamity
with more becoming resignation. During
yesterday and to-day, up to the time of going
to press, we have watched for the symptoms
which might be expected to accompany, and
perhaps little precede, the final plunge of
the Great Locomotive Of the Union from the
track, followed by the 81 Splendid Cars 30
rici ly freighted with their precious load Of
Passengers; but we are most happy to 81 ate
that, up to the last moment, no unusual phe-
romena had made their appearance, nothing
particularly murky had been detected in the
atmosphere, and the world seems to be jog
ging along about as usual, as well as could be
expected, and we do hope that the day will
close, and the sun 60 down upon a Union
uninjured in the least particular by the mee-
ting alluded to. So confident, indeed, are we
that midnight of this Goth day of October, will
find the Union all right, that we proceed to
express to our neighbor our congratulations
upon our escape, together with the hope that,
IN a reasonable time, bis shattered nerves may
be restored to their usually quiet and healthy
condition.
Seriously, there is one thing about this arti.
