yes
The question being taken on the motion, the
Chair declared it to be decided In the affirmative
and declared the meeting adjourned
This decision of the Chair caused great excite
ment rush was made towards the stage. and
cries for Breckenridge and Douglas rang out
from all parts of the hall. The Douglas men
declared that the motion to adjourn had been lost
and called upon Mr.. Ratclifte (who had by this
time taken his hat and cane, apparently with the
purpose OF leaving the hall) to return, and again
put the question
Foremost among these was Mr.. Holland who
addressing Mr. Radcliffe in vehement manner,
told him that the reason he thus unfairly adjourned
theimeeting was because he knew they 1.-THE Doug
las party) were largely in the majority and if the
proceedings We're conducted fairly would pro.
coed to elect officers of their political sentiments
Mr.. Radcliffe, in an excited manner repealed the
imputation that he had been actuated by any sue b
motives. Mr.. Holland, approaching him with
cane In hand, and repeating his assertion, Mr..
Radcliffe branded him as a liar, and immediately
made towards him, at the same time brandisllin9
his cane. serious difficulty was for some time
imminent, but through the interpostion Of friends
the parties were separated, and quiet partially
restored.
Cries were made for Mr. Ennis to IA Ike the chair.
That gentleman, after repeated calls, came for
ward upon the stage. and urged bis friends to be
calm and dispassionate. 10 one (he said) felt
more indignation at the course which had been
pursued there by MIR. Radcliffe and others that
evening than himself but STILL as the President
OF the Association had declared them adjourned,
let them quietly abide by the decision, though an
unfair one. B.. .
Mr.. Robinson and Mr Mulloy then made a few
remarks; after which those present quietly dis
persed.
