The lssgess and most enthusiasts Denoerat-
is meeting ever held in Nevada, assembled on
Saturday evening last. to listen to speeches
bin. The speakers were met at Grass Valley
BY large number Of friends, who formed q
procession aud escorted them TO Nevada. In
the procession we're between twenty aud thirty
carriages, and we should judge about seventy
nve horsenen. Every carriage and horse that
could be procured 10 the place was brought into
requitition. The procession was preceded by
the Union Brass Band Of Nevada, and on arriv-
ing, Messrs. Broderiek and MeKibbin appeared
on the balcony Of the National Exchange and
,hanked their friends for the enthusiastic re-
seption, and we're each loudly cheered Is they
retired. r.l afT
The meeting wvs organized thalf past eight
o'clock In the evening, and the number present
was vsriously estimated ct from fifteen hun
dred to two thousand. II was the largest polit-
eel gathering ever held in Nevada. The stand
was erected ia front Of the Democratic Club
room, and the verandas Of the National Ex-
change, opposite, were crowded with ladies.
EW. Roberts. Esq, was elected chairman OF
the meeting, and N. sOggs. Noble Martin, A.
Hartman, N. F. Holt, II. Kelley. and A. Davis,

the Chairman. and music BY the band, Mr..

to she audience.
Mr.. Broderick spoke about an hour and

ont, and frequently applauded. He isa fOrci.
BILE and effective speaker, and cannot fail to
leave favorable impression upon an unpreju-
diced audience. There is scarcely stump Or
ator in the State whose speeches, reported YER
batim, will read as well 90 Mr.. Broderick's.
He commenced by reviewing some statements
made in the published speech Of DR.. Gwin, re-
Gently delivered at Grass Valley, and showed
up the senior Senator in no very envable light
He then gave an account of the Senatorial elec-
ton Of 1857, and the reasons which induced
him to throw bis influence for the reelection
DR.. Gwin.
The history Of that election is briefly this ::
Mr.. Broderick having been elected himself, pre-
ferred Judge J. W. McCorkle as his colleague.
But MeCorkle could not be elected in fact the
only choice was between Latham and Gwin,
and as between the two, Broderick determined
to support the former. Latham had agreed to
support q certain gentleman for Collector Of
The port Of San Francisco, who was also Mr..
Broderick's choce. But few hours previous
to the meeting Of the caucus that was to make
the nomination, facts came to light which
stamped Latham as a treacherous migrate. He
had entered into base intrigue to foment
difficulty between Broderick and his friends.
ard his conduct was SO much worse than any
thing ever charged against DR.. Gwin, that
Broderiek determined to secure the election of
Gwin, which was accordingly done. Mr. Brod-
erick dwelt at considerable length upon this
subject, and his remarks we're taken down by
Q Photographic reporter, so that every one will
have an opportunity 10 read them.
In the course of his speech, Mr.. Broderick
he acknowledged his indebtedness TO Mr.. B. for
his election, and promising 10 future to take no
part in the distribution Of the Federal patron.
age. He then read another letter written by
DR.. Gwin about two months after his election,
to W. F. Anderson Of this place, urging him to
20 to work and carry the county against the
friends of Broderick, remarking that II Brode-
rick was defeated in the State he would be po-
litically ruined. No doubt Gwin wrote similar
letters to his strikers in other parts Of the State,
and We thus 6nd him, before be was fairly
warm In his seat, engaged Ia base attempt to
ruin the man 10 whom be had two months be-
fore acknowledged himself under the deepest
obligations. II is worthy Of remark that Mr..
Anderson was present at the time, and admit
ted to those around b m that the letter was
genuine.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Broderick's speech
Mr.. McKibbin ascsnded tho stand and spoke
about two hours. His speech was mostly de-
voted to q review Of the course Of the Admin
istration, particularly towards California, and
be kept up the interest Of tho audience TO the
last. We regret that we have not the space to
give synopsis Of his remarks. He concluded
BY alludng in appropriate terms to the sad ac-
cdent which occurred in the afternoon, aud
invoked for the unfortunate and suffering men
the sympathies and aid Of every kindly heart.
The meeting adjourned about twelve O'Clock,
with three lusty cheers for Broderick, three for
McKibbin, three for Douglas, and three for the
Democratic ticket.
