DTThe second County Mass Meeting OF
the friends of Bell and Everett, held last Tues
day under the auspices of the Young Mems
Bell and Everett Assoc iation OF Elkton, was,
contrary to our expectations, quite as numer-
ously attended as the meeting of the 18th inst.
No light parade, more than mere escort
OF the district delegations, was intended or
attempted. Even this, however.-though less
Imposing than the procession of the 4th, was
very fair display the equipments of the
Club rendering 1t unusually attractive. Al
: clock p. Nj. there was collected at the
stand in the rear of the R. Il. Depot perhaps
the largest assembiagc Of ladies and gentle
men convened upon any similar occasion in
the county for years.
After the organization of the meeting BY
the appointment of w j. Jones ESQ.,, as
Chairman, with three Vice Presidents and
one Secretary from each district Of the
county, and short speech from the Chair

Hon. Thomas Swami explanatory of the cause

ana expressive OF his entire sympathy with
the object of the meeting and the success of
the Constitutional Union party. After the
reading of the letter the Chairman introduced
Hon. Ii. Winter Davis, who proceeded to
make one Of those eloquent and string
speeches for VIII ich he is so noted all over the
country, and in which the Democratic party
MIR. Davis lavorite object of attack, came
in for large share of his attention lie
stormed the democratic citadel with the hot.

from The democracy all kind of abuse. -
lie is accustomed and hardened to the abuse OF
the locofocos, however, and as he has said
we believe, is no child to be frightened out
oil his course, by the insane cry of aoolitlonist
sent after him by democrats.
With Mr.. Davis ideas of the propermethod
Of conducting the canvass for Bell and
Everett we are compelled to differ. Mr.. d.
thinks the opposition to democracy should
nave been united all over the country; that
there is not sufficient difference of opinion
TO prevent such union against COM
mon enemy. We are disposed to deal with
things as they are. The opposition is not
united, and, as we think has been clearly
proven by events which transpired prior to
the nomination Of Bell, as well as since that
time, could not have been united in this can i.
vass without too much sacrifice of principle en-
the part of the more conservative portion OF
IT, " hatever our differences on this subject
may be, however, weare willing to unite
heartily with Mr.. Davis in his honest desire
TO defeat the democracy in Maryland as else.
where. We are anxious to do this with John
Bell, because we believe, as no doubt Mr..
Davis does, that Mr. Bell is the best and
safest man to put at the head of affairs.
Mr.. Davis speech, some parts of which
were warmly applauded, concluded the ex-
erclses at the stand, Archibald Sterling Jr.,
Esq, who came up with MIR. D., from BALTIC,
being compelled to return home without
speaking, owing to the lateness of the hour
Of organizing.
The torch-light procession at night, ir
connection with the illumination of the
houses of great many citizens of the town,
drew together more people than were perhaps
ever gathered together in the town. The
streets and side walks were literally alive
with people from almost everywhere. The

cles, most of them in the hands Of equipped
men, we heard variously estimated at from
1000 to $500 certainly not less than 1000
persons witnessed the beautiful sight. A
failure TO procure additional torches prevented
an entire fnlfillment of the advertised design
to have 500 voters in the procession. A full
supply Of torches for those who were anxious
to carry them would have swollen the ranks
considerably beyond 500. 4
Among the equipped men were the Union
Clubs of Mddletown, and Newark, Del,
composed, together, of over sixty men. for
whose visit and cooperation the Elkton
Club are greatly obliged. ,..
| The performance of the Middletown and
Elkton Bands during the day and night,
added materially to the interest of the exer-
cises. We cannot conclude this very hastily
drawn sketch of the days proceedings with
| out abiding to the marked order and decorum
OF those engaged in the procession. 1t was
very marked feature Of the affair, and in
Gicates truly that it was parade Of men.
