THE KANSAS QUESTION IN NNEW-ROCHELLE.
A reputed Custom-IIOuse official, resident Of New.
Rochelle and few of his sympathizng brethren,
some dave ago issued flaming hand-bll setting forth
that the National Democrats Of that village were
crDected to sustain the administration Of james Bu-
chanan and the Lecompton Constitution and that
meeting would be held in the Town Hall on Friday
evening" for the purpose OF expressing their opinion 10
relation to the recent Message Of the President and to
prevent, if possible their member OF Congress disre-
pardpg the request of his constituents.
AT the closs Of meeting which had been held in the
hall for the nomination of village officers, and before
the chairman had opportunity of leaving his position,
motion was made in favor of Mr. WIN. Lawton pre-
siding over the proposed demonstration on the part OF
the Democracy in reference to the aabsorblng ques
ton of Kansas affairs.
Mr.. RoBER1 III. Coles, Surrogate of the County o.
| an amendment, moved that Nr. Cyrus Lawton take
the chair. This followed by clainorous cans ior
the latter gentleman and il became evident that
there was going to be little fun in the course Of the
proceedings.
MIR. LLOYD rose and made psintive appeal to the
meeting in favor Of Mr.. VIM. Lawton.
"A hundred voices" Shut up. Sit down. ]
The amendment of Mr.. Coles was then put and car
ried by an overwhelming majority, and Mr. cyrus
Lawton proceeded to take the chair, and enthusiastic
| cheers and some opposition.
Mr.. WIN. LAwros here rose to make an expana
ton He conended that the meeting had been called
by those in favor of sustaining the Administration o
Mr.. uchansn, and they had invited only such TO
unite with them in the proceedings az entertained the
same sentiments.
Mr.. LIoYD-Never mind. Come, National Demo
crate let's GO and express our sentiments under the
blue vault OF heaven. Come, NatlohaI Dcmocio'',
come along.
In accordance with the very pathetic appeal OF Mr.
Lloyd about dozen left the room or rather retired
toward the door, to take few observations OF suose
quent proceedings.
Mr.. Cyrus LAwroN then briefly addressed the
assembage and stated that he did not come there 10
preside that he ndisposed, and felt himself un
| able TO do 70, and hoped the meeting would select
some other gentleman discharge that duty, and con
| cluded by nominating Thaddeus Davids, who was
almost unanimously elected, whereupon the DoNers
returned ard expressed their satisfaction with the new
turn of affairs and their entire confidence in the course
which they presumed Mr. Dayids would pursue toward
| them, and Mr.. L,wToS here took occasion TO make
| some auson to Mr.. Coles having been Soft Shell
Democrat. His remarks we're replied TO by Mr.. Coles
| who contended that he had always been Democrat
and never traitor To his party, while Mr. Lswton
had deserted the Democratic ranks and joined the
Know. Nothngs.
| After the sparriDg and excitement had subsided,
| ALBERT BADEAU and CHARLES b. DUTcHER were
appointed Nice-Presdents and LAURENCE II. HUNT
| INGToS, Secretary. 3,
After the reading of the call, Mr.. LLOYD produced
number of papers and stated that he had some srs
outops to offer but before he could get out the nrst
| word hundred voices called out 10 him to sH
| down. sit down - and down he had TO sit. -, .
| Mr.. CoLKs-I offer as az amendment that tue Cnsu
appoint Committee of five TO draft series OF res'iu
| tions expressive OF the sense of the meeting.

the meeting proceeded TO business be wished thI,e
who present and in the least opposed 10 ,1s
object for which the meeting had been called, "oui'
keep silent and avoid taking any part IN the proceeu
