Heated the stars and stripes, and preceded
by Band that discoursed most excellent
music, marched to beautiful grove adioin-

seats had been erected, and where dinner
was being prepared. Arrived at the stand
an organization was effected by calling
Judge JNo. nj. DAVIS to the Chair, appoint

eral Purport of the meeting in few well
timed remarks, after which an adjournment

most excellent quality, and the crowd
seemed 70 be in fine condition for dispatch.
irg it, as sheep, shoat and beef, with ac-
compartments, disappeared from the ample
tables, as if by magic. The providor, how
ever, soon re-filled the dishes, and after all
had satisfied themselves, we noticed several
animals uncut, and something like cord Of

Dinner over, the crowd repaired 10 The
stand, and Gen. ROBERT WILSON, Of An

tive, Union speech. The speaker review ed
the whole Presidential question, or rather
The position, qualifications, and claims Of
the different candidates, coneiusively show
ing that BELL was the man for the crisis,
in view of his enlarged experience, national
sentiments, and the fact that he was nomi-
ted by national Convention, and upon q
National Platform, which could not be
truly said of either of the other candidates.
The speech was listened 10 with the most
marked attention. and We regard it as good
seed, which will yield well. Gen. Wilson
was followed by
Capt. Prachard, of Carroll, who made q
stirring appeal in behalf of the Union. The

passed; the recent elections almost indicated
the election Of Lincoln; but so long as the
blow was not struck, there was al least
hope Of staying it. He would that all

only candidate who was in the race with

were quite eloquent, and highly patriotic
in sentiment.
After Capt. P. had concluded, the meet

In the evening quite respectable audi

were addressed by Col. SwrrzLER, Of
Boone. The Col. delivered one of his
Paixhan load Of Facts and Figures, clear
ly showing that Lincoln, Douglas and
Breckenridge were all sectional candidates,
and we've nominated by secticnal cOnven-
tons. He somewhat startled the Douglas

work of the meeting, and 10 omit several
other matters incident 10 our flying trip
to our neighboring city.
