David Todd, r. z. Ranney, II. B. Payne,
DR.. d. b. Woods, J. w. Gray, ESQ, and
other distinguished speakers would address
qnence, however, only president" Todd
was there, hanked by d. NJ. Wilson, ESQ,
of Youngstown, who probably ranked a.
moUg the 'other distinguished speakers" I"
The Chronieie says there we're probably
cne hundred and fifty persons present, Of
which number about fifty were Republi-
cans.
After the reading Of series of resolu-
tions, which were accepted, but not adopted,
by the meeting, Mr.. Todd took the stand.
fter indulging in few stale platitudes
about his lifelong labors in the service OF
the Democracy, aud the vast indebtedness
the people were under to that party for all
the good that had ever bsen accomplished in
the nation since its organization, be proceed
ed to arraign Messrs. Buchanan aud Breck-
enridge, and other prominent "bolters" sS
distractors and mischiefmakers in the hith.
erto hai monious ranks of the Democracy.
He thought it not honorable that men who
had been SO favored by the party should
now turn traitors to it in its hour of need.
lie regarded it as presumptive evidence if
a man was an Office holder under the pres
ent Democratic Administration, that he
was traitor to the Democratic party. He
mentioned frequently and Extensively, the
m IF Y
Ter, the latter of whom was present. He
charged them with being traitors, boilers
and deserters," and recommended that they
be shot, as all deserters should be- He
said the Administration party was "a mis-.
cradle faction, whom official position had
corrupted" He charged that Judge Bir-
chard was influenced in his present course
by desire TO receive from the President
the place made vacant, on the United States
Supreme Bench, by the death OF Judge
Daniels. He attributed to Judge BARLEY
the same motive. He was satisfied TO
charge Judge Fuller as corrupt without
motive, for he did not mention any place
he was after.
lie next proceeded to pitch into Mr. Rt-
ezel of the Trumbull Democrat, for merely,
giving as items of news, that the Demo.
cratic party at Baltimore was "split up,'
and that one faction had nominated Doug
las and the other Breckenridge, and for
placing two National Democratic" tickets
at the head of bis paper, which he playful
! ly characterized as "his celebrated two
horse act" He advised all democrats to
stop taking the Democrat, as be bad done,
and contribute money and start another
paper.
Mr.. Todd in substance further said, that
these bolting democrats, President Buchan-
an, MIR. Breckenridge, Judge Birchard,
Judge Fuller and Mr.. Ritezel, claimed that
Douglas was not the regular democratic
nominee "Did not J." continued Mr.. T.,
''as President of the National Democratic
Convention, declare him TO be tie regular
nominee tc the democratic party, and ask
God to have mercy upon him the Union
which he represented 2" This form of ex.
preston, attributed to Mr.. Todd at Balti-
more, indicative to Mr. Douglass speedy
execution, we have hitherto regarded as a
joke, but now we have it by authority.
The Chronicle says that Judge Fuller, in
few well-timed remarks, repelled the abuse
and charges brought against him. He
maintained his consistency and integrity al
a democrat, and after few remarks by
Mr. Wilson. the meeting adjourned
