The Bell & Everett Mass Meeting.

The mass meeting of the Bell and Everett
men was held on Tuesday The day was un-
favorable, rendered so by the falling Of rain
nearly nil the afternoon, at night the meet
ing was held in Belvidcre Hall. Several gen.
temen from a distance were present We
have not received list of the officers or any
account of tina proceedings, nor have we time
or space to give any extended report ourselves.
We deem it proper however TO state, that the
speakers with one accord and most eloquent
liy portrayed the gories Of our Union, and
most vehemcntly denounced the Breckenridge
party rs bent on its destruction. Mr.. Dem
Ilis, Of the Eastern Shore. dwelt upon this
Ipoint with peculiar force, and denounced, in
hnmeasured terms all who engaged in
HE unhallowcd work and called upon Heav-
In to send thuuderbolt to destroy the
lyrctches; and then announced that il he was

could thereby defeat Mr. Lincoln, he, Mr..

.ate this fact now that our readers may un-
,rstaud the position Mr. Dennis occupies.
The closing speech was by Mr.. Roman, and

ump speaker. and was received with marked
oprobation, as it well deserved.

DEDICATION OF THE RICHMOND (VA) CLUB
HoUsE.-The Richmond Wing says-Never
have we witnessed anywhere within the lin
its of the Old Dominion so glorious and en-
thusiastic political demonstration as that
made by the Bell and Everett men of Rich
mond, evening before last. We sincerely
aud honestly believe that it was the grandest
and most imposing affair of the kind that
ever came off in the State. Not even in
1870 was there anything that could surpass
it,. The torch-light procession was exceed
ngly magnificent, and all honor to the gal
liant and intrepid young Wings of Richmond
for their zeal and energy in getting it up.
1t was the longest and largest procession that
we have eve seen on any occasion, in Rich
mond. The streets were literally thronged
and packed with q living mass of humanity
and the doors and windows Of the private
houses on Broad street and Grace and Frank
lin and Main along which the procession mo-
we'd, were filled with men and women and
children, all over-howing with enthusiasm
and excitement. The men and the boys
haIooed and shouted, and the ladies and the
little girls waved their handkerchiefs until the
scene presented to the view of the spectator
was magnificent and thrilling beyond descrip
ton. Not the oldest inhabitaut in the city
ever saw anything like it before. 1t was a
demonstration great, glorious and enthusiasts
tic beyond example.

A GEORGIA DoUGLAsITB.-Th Douglas
papers have announced with a great flourish
that the Hon. W. B. Gaullon, of Georgia
has taken the stump for Douglas and
Squatter Sovereignty. That the reader may
form some idea of the doctrines which this
honorable gentleman advocates in his stump
ing tour, we copy the following extract from
one of his speeches in the Charleston Conyen-
ton:
"He was slavery extension, Stare hads
man. He believed theinstitution to be right
socially, politically, morally, and relisiously
He believed that, if the institution Of slavery
were to be abolished civilization would 60
back 200 years. The prohibition Of the
slave trade had put an end to all hope Of ex-
tending the area of slavery at the present
time. There is but one remedy at present
for the evils the South complained of, and that
was to reopen the african Stare trade. IN
this he looked to the Northern Democracy 10

''He told his fellow Democrats that the At

Christian man. lie told :hcm that tie slave
trade Of Virginia was more inhuman, unchris-
tan in every point Of view, than the African
slave trade; for the African slavc-traler eoss

and his friends in the North assert that their
object is to put down Southern utras and

PLATFORM.
Hon. II. W. Hoffman on the Stump.


The largest political assemblage of the
campaign assembled on Saturday night,
to hear our fellow townsman on the pen
ding political issues.
Mr.. II. appeared only in compliance
with request preferred by U number Of
gentlemen, his political friends and en-
brocipg some of our most substantial cit
izcus. The address was well considered,
each point clearly stated and maintined
By irrefutable argument. Many passa-
ges we're truly eloquent, and the whole
address which occupied nearly two hours
in its delivery, was listened to with pro-
found attention.
We regret that we are not enabled to
lay the speech entire before our readers.
1t was thorough vindication and en-
dorsemcnt of the course We have seen
proper to pursue in our columns through
out the canvass. His denunciation of
the fusion in New York and elsewhere
on the part of the Bell and Douglas lea
ders was Justly severe and drew out such
manifestations as showed that the hearts
of his audience beat responsive to his
own. He deprecated the effort which
was seeking to carry the choice of Pres
ident into Congress, and believed that
those who were engaged in it could not
possibly do the country n worse service;
nor could they involve the Union in more
tremendous perls or hang blacker
cloud over our Political horizon. Re-
garding the election of Mr.. Lincoln as
moro than probable, he referred to the
fact that friend and foe united in pro-
nouncing him honest, and then quoted
from Mr.. l.. wherein he had said that
call the guarantees those (our) fathers
gave it Slavery should be not grudging-
y but fully and fairly maintained"
Mr.. II. assumed that if Mr.. l.. was
honest in these declarations, as all con-
ceded he was. then the constitutional
rights of the South would not be inter-
fercd with during his administration. -
So far as we have been able to ascertain
Mr.. H. reflected the opinions of almost
the entire Opposition party in this sec
ton of the State.

"But said Mr.. c, If Lincoln be elected

requesting that Mr.. McRae should be heard
Mr.. Clingmau often and loudly proclniming

question that any gentleman might propose.
When order WAS restored, Mr.. Clingman
enquired whether the gentleman had any otl =
