A MISERABLE ABORTION.


the attempt They bad published the call for
the meeting in their organ, in the most con-
spicuous style and had resorted 10 especial pains
TO attract crowd on the occasion, but all in
vain. The people have been too often deceived
by their hollow promises and insldious miSreP:e-
sentations and, therefore, stayed at home and
treated them with the contempt due TO their
trickerv and dishonesty. 4 friend who counted
the number of persons present at the meeting
when in fall blast, assures US that IT did not
exceed eighty-seUen, or eighty-eighf, all told !!
By dint of hard labor, the Abolition boss
politicians, of whom MR. F. JORDAN and Mr.. J.
II. FILLER, seemed to be the most active, finally
succeeded in organizing the meeting. They
managed to raise President and were SO extra
ordinarily successful as to obtain the consent of
two men 10 act as Vice Presidents. Indeed, they
were even so wonderfully fortunate as to secure
the services of few secretaries, whom they were
compelled to take from Bedford Borough, for,
had they taken them from the rural districts there
would have been great danger that no material
wouldremain whereofto construct the committee
on resolutions, which was to be composed OF one
man from each district. After the 'heavy
work" of organizing the meeting was at last
finished, MR. JORDAN, of Simon Cameron and
"Buzzard Feast notoriety, stated the object OF
the meeting and moved the appointment OF
Committee of one from each election district 10
draft resolutions. MR. JORDAN called over the
townships ard bo.oughs, but only eagdf men
could be found who were willing and ready to
assist himjn punctuating his resolutions. When
Ma. JORDAN called out Cumberland Valley, bis
face wore q most ugubrious expression, and he
could not refrain from making fling at the
gloIious Democracy of that ever faithful town
ship There was no response from "LitHe
BeEsP' arhen .fbolitioRisms s-cailed upon its
name! Whilst Ma. JORDAN and his committee
were out tnkeriDg at their resolutions, Ma.
JOHN II. FILLER, entertained ~ the large and
enthusiastic audiencewith one of his most brill
liant and elaborately written out, though badly
committed, lectures on-bosh! MR. FILTERS
platitudes fell forceless upon his hearers, and ii
seemed that not even the strong favor OF the
sweet scented negro, with which his speech was
so delightfully."- perfumed, could induce his Abo-
lition friends to sit still long enough to hear him
olt. Seeing that bis efforts were thinning the
meeting, be cut short bis remarks and retired.
in evident disgust at the dullness OF his hearers
in not approaching his most remarkable and
extraordinary address. Mr.. FILLER in the
course of bis speech, undertook TO say that un-
der the English Kansas Bill lately adopted by
Congress, Kansas could not be admitted into the
Union until 1860, or until remote period, un-
less she would accept the Lecompton Constitu-
ton, and, therefore, would be compelled 10 re-
main Territory for years TO come. Now a
certain Governor Walker: whom Mr.. Filler glad
Iy accepted as authority short time ago, denies
this in toto. He (Walker) says that Kansas
will have the requisite population TO entitle her
TO one member of Congress in very short time,
and, therefore, the people of that Territory
will not have 10 labor under the disability Of
which Mr.. Filler complains. We opine, how
ever, that the longer Kansas will be kept out of
the Union, the better Mr.. Filler and his party
will like it. 1t is but short Sine ago since we
heard Mr.. Filler publicly declare that he and
his party did not desire that the Kansas question
should be settled and that they wanted Kansas
to remain as it is. This we can prove and we
dare Mr.. Filler to deny it. His tears over
this matter, therefore, are not genuine. Like
many others of his political friends, he is con-
siderable of crocodile about the region ol
the eyes.
After Mr.. Filler had concluded his speech,
Mr.. R. D. BARCLAY was called upon, who pro-
ceeded to rehearse the editorials of the Bedford
Abolition organ on Senator Bigler, and Other
Democrats, in which audable and interesting
performance he employed himself until the
Committee on resolutions returned from the
pow-wow in the jury-room. Of the resolves o
this redoubtable Committee, shall speak a
length n our next. We can only, at present
add that more miserable abortion 10 the shape O
a political meeting ihaa the one under consid
Grafton, has never come within our knowledge
