INCIDENTS, ETC, OF SATURDAY EVENING AND
NIGHT The news on Saturday afternoon that
DOUGLAS was nominated by the Baltimore
Convention, put the Republicans into n condi
ton Of long-facedness, and for awhile they
looked as though they were lost, and it wasn't
worth while to try to find the way out of the
woods Finally a happy thought struck en-

tons, for it don't amount to n straw.
r When the cannon aroused the sleepy heads
and slow-goers on Saturday evening, the crowd
, on Sd street visibly increased. The illumina-
ton of the EMPRE building 1--WE will say it
right here, for it belongs here) was an attract
, i've sight, and was very generally admired by
the crowds of ladies and gentlemen upon the
streets; it reminded them-(so we heard fair
8 ladies say)-of gala times in the past, and the
incident, as small as it seemed, got up a nice,

ded for the EMP1REl Its the best newspaper

After a weeks drumming for the Chase
meeting, the Republicans were indebted to the
+, Democracy for the crowd they got. Had it
not been for the stirring up Of the great pub
) lie pulse by the news of the nomination OF
Little Dug, and the firing of cannon, the aC
fair at the Court House Corner would have

Chase! What in the mischief do they bring
