Public Meetino in Chicnt

At a meeting of large number of citi- zens of Chcot county, held at the court house in Lake Village, on the 10th October, 1859, Claiborne w. Sanders was called to the chair, and J M Batchelor invited to take seat with the chairman The meeting was then called to order by the chairman, and William 5. Street was appointed secre- tary. The chairman having explained the object of the meeting, an article was then read from the True Democrat, signed by one L. D. Harvey, derogatory to Judge Anthony H. Davies character as a gentle man, and a Judge. Whereupon, the meet ing was addressed by several gentlemen, touching said publication, and the follow ing gentlemen were selected to draft reso- lutions expressive of the sense of the meet ing in the premises: John R. Llewelyn, NJ. R. P. Mathis, D. K. Oursler, Wm. J. Neale, Samuel R. Walker, J. NJ. Craig, J. M Bliss and Wm. B. Street-by whom the following resolutions were reported and unanimously adopted by the meeting:
 l. Resotved, That, whereas, in an article published in the True Democrat of Sep tember 2lst, 1859, impugning the charac- ter of Judge Anthony H. Davies; and whereas we deem 1t but right and proper, that, when one so highly esteemed in the community, whose past services and present standing among us, entitle him to the great est confidence, and highest respect of his tellow-citizens, we deem it but just to him, in refutation of such publication, thus fully and publicly to express our regard for him, as gentleman-our full confidence in his integrity as an officer, and our high appre- clatlon of his usefulness as a citizen-be 1t further
 ,. Resolyed, That this meeting regard the said publication as wanton attack upon the character of citizen so highly esteemed, uniustifed by any act of Judge Davies, public or private.
 3. Resolued, .further, That in Judge Davies we have fellow citizen than whom, none has been more useful, whose acts no one can, with justice impugn, and who pos sesses our highest esteem and confidence as neighbor, a citizen and judge.
 4. Resolutd, lastly, That these resolu- tions be published in the True Democrat.

Es- The Baltimore papers contain sick

E The Baltimore papers contain sick ening details of fraud and violence at the election held in that city on Wednesday last The ruffians road about the city in hacks, voting where they pleased. They had rooms near the voting places, where they kept false whiskers and other articles to faci- lltate the business ofdisguising themselves, that they might vote as often as they changed their appearance. They had bull lies at the polls, armed with awls and needles, to prick those who proposed to vote the reform ticket. For all this the Mayor must be held responsible He pro- missed to protect the polls, and did not make an honest effort 10 do so. He ap- pointed notorious ballot box suffers judges of election, and when remonstrated with for doing so, demanded legal proof of facts known to every man in Baltimore phis Argus.

Et The autumn leaves are strewn over the sod, which covers the beloved form of our friend, Mrs. HARRIET c. G1BRs. with this sad and solemn requiem, we write thls tribute to the memory of the holy dead.
 In the dalntiest nosegay, there is ever one flower pre-eminent for grace and beau ty In this group of lovely children, Har- ret, most fragile and most fair, was by each most highly prized.
 The parents cherished her with unceasinr care; the sisters entwined about. and guard cd her with the most devoted love: the brother stood between her and every desire ready to anticipate and to indulge, and when but little more than one brief year gone, she was taken from the family hearth stone to husband $ home, it was still to be the center of another hearts affection to be the one pearl of great price in that husbands treasures
 In Harriet, extreme delcacv of person was united to the finest stamp of intellect and the utmost refinement of character Her taste was faultless, mentally and moral | ly; her mlnd, the storehouse of the most precious gems ot poetry and refined thought; her fancy, rhaste but opalhued, the trusty mirror of the most beautiful in nature; her heart, guileless and affectionate and the censer from which arose undving incense to her Makers throne Her thoughts, her affections with her prayers, were laid, rich | tribute on the altar of her Lord. S Dear Haddie, rare in excelencies of mind and heart, gifted and highly cultured, your crowning graces were those of the humble trusting Christian. These will ever be at tuned in the memory of the bereaved ones left behind, as most soothing melody; as the fragrance of crushed and faded flowers. they will be perfume, delicate, never-dy- ing, waited through our hearts and thence to Heaven.

 DlED-In this city on the 26th of Oct 1859, CALVIN H.. infant son of Calvin H. and Mary Overton, aged year, months and 26 days
 Another flower culled for the ever bloom ing garden-another sinless one taken home ere the blight of mildew of life had touch ed him:
 "Gone home-gone home-how many a prayer of
 love,
 Breathd out it's ardor to detan thee here And Fancy's dream its spell of fondness wove
 To make thee happy, as thou vert most dear. Weep not-'mid thornless flowers that never fade
 In bowers of bliss where raptures never cIov Thou hast thy home, thy changless mansion made.

 The deceased was native of the countv of Cork, Ireland. He settled in this citv twenty years ago, and during his life here preserved the character of an upright, hon. est man, good citizen and an unpretend- ing christian. He leaves widow to mourn hls loss, and a large circle of friends who will remember long his private virtues He descended to his grave in the fullness of years, in peace with his fellow man, and in confidence of enjoying that immortality in brighter spheres, where the humble and just man awaits his reward. He wore no crown on earth, for borne nown by naisfor- tune and physical afliction through life, his walks were among the humble and unos- tentatious., A crown of glory he now wears, for "of such is the kingdom of heaven" J.

Abolition Movement.

The declarations of the wretch Brown and hlS contederates, demonstrate the com pllcity of numerous black republican Iea- ders Tn the northern and eastern States - It was intended to make simultaneous at tacls on Harper's Ferry, Wheeling and Washington. Brown does not deny that he had conference with Giddings in rela- ton to the expedition. At Greencastle. Chambersburg and other points, boxes have been intercepted containing rifles, pistols, bikes and other weapons. They had form for provisional government drawn up, with constitution and ordinances, com missions filled out and the whole plan of a rebellion chalked out The white men are all from the free States Papers have been found showing the organization is extend ed, having manifestations in several of the States. Boxes of Sharp's rifles were seized, all bearing the stamp of the Massachusetts Manufacturing Company, at Chicopee, Mass. Brown intimates that there are abo- litionists settled in Maryland and Virginia who were to help him and to whom he look ed for assistance.
 Other facts go to show that the affair was controlled by prominent aboltionists in the west. One negro says he recruited at a fair in Lorrain county, Ohio, and money was given him to pay expenses. Others were sent from Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and the caster States. Cook, the scoundrel who escaped, is a Connecticut man and taught school. Brown sent off thirty or forty slaves in charge of three white men. We give a copy of the letter from Gerrit Smith found with the draft, in possession of l Brown.
