The crowd was both large and enthusias-
tic, and the market space was illuminated by
q large bonfire.
Mr.. Gallagher being called upon, delivered
an address Of some length, in which he said
he regarded the nomination of Mr.. Douglas
as triumph of the people. He would not
give the SecederS' meeting dignity by terming
it a. Convention. They had no power to
nominate candidate for President. He
spoke of the Judas Iscariots Gushing & Coz
Of the North, and aristocrats Of the South, in
a manner that certainly eclipsed the most
violent Republican TRADE we have ever heard
He uttered bitter denuncations against ''this
man Breckinridge who owed his present
elevation to Northern Democratic votes, and
who had been raised, until his brain reeled,
and he had become unequal 10 the position
he occupied. He had been, and was still
mere cat s-paw for designing men. But the
question would soon come directly to the
people of the South, whether they would
have Douglas or Lincoln for President-and
they would be compelled to take Douglas
They dare not do otherwise. Before one
month the Northern Democrats would have
a full confirmation of what he said.
General Lane received fair share of at
tention; the speaker declared him an ig-
noramus as statesman, and contemplate as
soldier. The Southern Senators hoped to
make Lane President through an election by
the Senate, and then they would use him as
Charles Rule, Esq, one of the delegates to
the Baltimore Convention, gave an account
OF his stewardship, and was followed by Mr..
Toohey and other speakers, all of whom did
their best to kindle Douglas enthusiasm.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously passed; after which the meeting dis
persed: T.
