ticns were had; which, from their unique.
ness, think should be chfdficled for the
benefit Of future generations.

The business Of the meeting was intro.
duced. almost exsIns vely, IL not entirely by
John +. Simpson, gentleman that voted
for Mr. Buchanan ia 1856; add was as in.
variably seconded, by George Barry, a life
long Demecrut. Mr.. d. Zane and James
Atchison. were appointed committee on
resolutions; who, after retiring SO short a
tine. that, If their amannensjs had operai ed
by the lighting celerity Of steam power, he
could not have transcribed them whilest the
cammittee was absent from the meeting;

first time, making their acar,iniance,
proves that they were concocted, Gu, aud

ism. You and the public. suppose, can
judge after the next eruption of the B IL
Everett cess.pool in your town, where, it is
presumed, they will FIRST sse the light of
day, and thence forward dispel the dark
clouds Of political error.
At the close of the meeting it was an
nounced that n.neteen names were subscrib-
ed to their constitution. Three or four of
whom. after due search and diliigent enquiry
are all that can as yet be hscertained 10
have voted for Mr.. Fillmoreoin 1856; the
balance voted for Mn. Buch4sa, or did not
vote at all st that election.
Such is The antsgonisiic aggregation of
men aud principles. placed on a political
platform. that has face, and principles tha.
can be logically construed, ! TO suit every
point IN the political compas with which
Americans arC invited and expected to coal
lecs. And .or refusing to b, humbuged by
this transparent farce. they are tr.drced as
political rats. |. for one, glory IN rafting
all such nondescript compounds of re repulsive
principles and inpracticable men; the only
obi ct of which Is to seduce Americans into
the support Of men, who, but a short time
