A great Tolgas meeting was held in Cincinnati last
week i.h speeches were made by the delegates who
hal returned from Charleston. The speakers chopped
no Southern Demo- a,y, James Buchanan and Caleb
Cushing with th,uonchaance and rapdity with which
they are ccss,omed a that ssincrous city TO cut up
hogs. Hon. J. j. Faran, who presided, speaking of
Charleston, sail.
He had been in that convention and conyersaEt
with h, inside and outside feeling Charleston, and he
would here proclaim boldly the people Of the great
city OF Cincinnati that Northern had chance 10
express their sentiments Charleston. 10 Northern mau
could De head the public meetings held in the streets
atui.ht on account OF the his>ngs snd yelngs OF the
Grcsters and upon the floor of the convention these
nobooded SOutheruers would hiss at Northern speakers
-om the galleries Even The Charleston ladies so far lost
sight OF good breeding and decorum, utter dispar
aging remarks concerning the ladies of the Northwest
many Of whom had accompanied the delegates and were
known 20 the Carolina daughters be from that section
o. this great and glorious Union Il was only 10y the
earnest appeals of prominent Southern men, that North
ern speakers could get the least show TO CRATE Even
southern men, who refused to 20 with the seceders
treated with like contumely Such the feeling that
existed In Charleston ar-amed for her hospitality and
goof uqppcrs and known to be the very heart OF dis
uniousm in the country"
OF Caleb Cushing he said his name fought to be held
in de ,statoa and contempt by every true Democrat in
America
The next speaker was Mr. Thomas ]. Gallagher of
whom the account says:
"The speaker walked into Messrs Buchanan, Slidell
Bright CO. with gloves of Said that they had hound
cd Nr. Douglas. The former had forgotten the dignity
of his high position and crafty his feelings Of Spite
envy jealousy had prompted others persecute the
Little Giant; he had gone far as 10 forbid the
members OF bis Cabinet visit Mr. Douglas at Washing
ton and had issued his orders that of the members
OF tine families of those distinguished unconares should
visit Mrs. Douglas. Was such meanness ever before
known? Was II not without precedent? As for Slidel
Bright and others the English language fails to furnish
of sufficient bitterness in which 70 denounce them
WOcesters mammoth edition wholly inadequate 10
the accomplishment OF such a task. II was all prompted
bv jealousy Bright and Sidel desired be President
but the Little Giant in their way. Yes, added the
speaker and he will continue to be in their way. As
compared with them, Judge Douglas like the noon
\ Jay sun when compared with two-penny candle-he
/ was Ike the lion as compared with mouse. He would
ultimately crush Bright, Sde and Company; he woull
shake these pgmes from him the King of the Forest
shakes the dew drops from his name
Mr. j. Durbin Ward next took the stand, and, among
other things, said
An old Wing, named Caleb Cushing was President of
the ConveutiOu-a willy cunning oily, hypOcritca JeS-
uit who can give better for doing wicked act
than the devil himself At first he all fair play, but
as ait became apparent that Douglas choice
he went to cheating, and perverted the panest rules OF
order and language.
"But there another influence beside those have
ed said the speaker which brought against usthere
was not twOcent postmaster or collector or oice-hod-
er OF any Sort but Charleston. This immense
horde had been down by Buchanan to prevent the
nomination of the peoples choice, and Buchanan had
rather this Union dissolved than Douglas elected
| President"
These extracts illustrate the spirit that acuates the
Dougasites of the West and afford US some means of
forming an opinion the possibility of harmonizng
