the dense thrOng. 10 o'clock came but no I'M
usual stir-noon at last ame-no crowd, no
speakers and no body save a lew struggling Re-
publicans, and a few Democrats; after waiting
patiently, however, for a short time, the speak
ers arrived, the crowd commenced pouring in
from the North, South, East and West, consist
ing OF Democrats in partieular-a large and re-
spectacle crowd Of Republican eXpectants mum
bering nearly one half the entire mass; and a
few ofthe laity Of that party. Comprising Ia
dies, men, niggers and all, about $50, all told.

where a stand and seats had been previously
prepared for the occasion. After the noise and
confusion had subsidized the meeting was or
ganizel by calling the Hon. B. 5. Coweu toth9
