The RntilcatIom Meeting.

Notwithstanding the indications of a
severe storm last evening, at an early hour
our streets were thronged with crowds of
citizens; bon6res were kindled and shot up
ward their cheerful flames; the spirit-Stirring
strains of the band were heard, and there
was a general rush to the Court House,
which was soon filled to its utmost capaci-
ty. After the audience was fairly seated,
and were checrel with the inspiritug
strains from the band, Philip Decker was
called to the chair and f. NJ. Thayer ap-
pointed secretary. Mr.. Jones was called on
and proceeded to address the meeting. lie
announced that he was candidate for At
torney General As to his qualifications
zens, perhaps better known:to them than to
himself.
He then entertained his hearers at some
length on the great subject now dividing
the parties of the country, Summary OF
which we are unable to give, at any length,
this morning.
After Mr.. Jones retired, Judge Baker and
Mr.. Hynes of our city, and Mr.. Embree, of
dresses. Almost every allusion OF the
speakers to our gallant standard-bearers-
old Abe Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin-
brought down the house, and every demon
stration of an intention on the part of the
audience to go in this campaign and win,
WAS given.
After the addresses, Mr. John Foster in
troduccd the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted:
ReSolced, That we candidly approve of
the nomination of Hon Abram Lincoln Of
Illinois as a candidate for President; and
Hannibal IIamlin of Maine for Vice PreSi-
dent; that we recognise them as the worthy
standard-bearers of that great national party
whose mission it is to bring the government
back to the principles OF the Fathers of the
Reptile, and to drive from power the cor
rupt oligarchy whose extravaganza aud mis-
rule have brought the National Treasury to
poverty, and proStituted the powers of the
government to the extension OF the curse
of slavery.
,. That we pledge ourselves to the sup
port of the Opposition State ticket, and
recognize it rs one OF the important duties
OF the citizens Of the State of Indiana to
accomplish a reform in the administration
of the State Government, and return to
economy and honesty.
3. That, in order the more properly to
accomplish these objects, the President of
this meeting appoint committee five, who
shall confer with the people of the different
townships of Vanderburgh county, and Sc
lcct County Executive Committee.
Mr.. Geo. Foster moved that immediate
steps be taken for the formation of "A Lin
coin club, thereby to secure more perma-
Aent organization. lie read short article
OF organization, which he requested those
willing 10 join the club TO come forward
and Sign their names to.
The President appointed the following
gentlemen to act on the committee i'll ac-
cordance with the resolution previously
passed.
MessrS. Conrad Baker, Geo Woltlin, Robt.
