There was but little animation displayed by the com.
rany and but for the uproar occasionally made by one
two enthusiastic friends Of Mr.. Albertson, the
publican candidate TOR Sheriff, the meeting could
scarcely have been kept together till ten O'Clock.
The first thing our reporter heard upon entering the
an exclamation from some one, TO this effect
Come, wake up there Mr.. Chairman d-n it, be alive.
Excuse my profanity, but we don't want 10 go sleep"
gentleman raised his hat up to the u length Of his arm
above his head and addressed the Chairman protesting
against the want Of spirit displayed by the meeting, and
calling for speech from some present.
VoIcE-Speech from the Chairman.
CHAiRMAS-Gentemen, your Chairman is working
him. Sir, (pointng the man in the crowd with
his hat raised) the Chair calls upon you for speech

ing man. Where's Mr.. Dow9
voicrs-Speech from Dow. Dow, Dow. Speech from
somebody, If not, let's all go TO crying Dow Dow.
Here the chairman and read the returns from the
Eighth ward which did not appear TO give very general
satisfaction. However, when he announced that the
Third district Of this ward had given Albertson
jority Of eight Kelly, it elected some applause.
Mr.. Dow, of the Ninth ward, at length took the
stand and made few remarks; He said that
there had been difficulty in the Seventh Con
gressional district between himself and Mr.. Briggs
but that had been healed by his yielding his preten
sons TO Mr. Briggs and he happy 10 announce that
gentleman's election by handsome majority.
The meeting was addressed by several other gentlemen

Judge Quackenbush, Know Nothing also made some re-
marks, but we have not space to notice them at length
The meeting adjourned at twelve O'Clock, in pretty
fair spirits which had been rallied by some flying ele
graphic reports from the interior of the State favorable
" the republicans.
