Gzf- The meeting at Liberty Hall, on Thursday
urht. demonstrated, beyond the possibility of a
Doubt, that the people can no longer DO cajolcd
and humbugged by the specious plea OF "Cltizens
meetings" All the prominent actors were gentle
men who, as long as party meetings ana party
nominations were subseryient TO thor own views,
we're in favor of them. The very person who
offered the resolutions has long held Office, nomi-
mated by party meetings. 1t may be, "breakers'
appear in the distance, and hence "a change has
come DER the spirit of their dreams" How IS 1t,
that the one hundred and .ffty men who composed
the so-called "Citzens' meeting" only nomina-
ted one officer? Did they mean to say to the
other 1900 citizen voters, that the nominations
made by the Opposition party could not be I'M
proved 1t was trnly distressing 10 see the dis
appointment of some who calculated upon receiv-
ing from the one hundred and fftymen, nominations
for the other Offices in the gift OF the CITIZENS !"
But the one hundred and fifty men SAID IN object,
proper men have already been nominated, and we
recommend their election. Ills hoped that the
Old Liners will see the folly Of hereafter trusting
their affairs to the management Of rae recruits.

GENTLY he has discharged the duties of Magis-

The public without any compensation, and intend

ference to the rcncontre between Messrs. Robert
son and Guard, which appeared in the Gazette OF

Mr.. q. was provoked, insulted, and defended HIM
self with natures gift alone, against knife. lie
was ruthessly beaten, almost bntchered, and no

alive. He was dangerously and almost fatally

hun, and whatever wounds he may have inflicted
upon his assaiant, were absolutely demanded from
motives of self defence FERITAs.
