BRECKINRIDGE AND LANE MEETING.-At
Mozart Hall last night large audience was
assembled to hear speeches from U. S. Sen
ator Fitch and DR.. W. F. Sherrod, Breckin-
ridge and Lane Elector for the Second Dis
trict. On the stage were Major John Wes-
ley Hughes, Charles DENLY, aud G. w. Nc
Bride
Dr. Fitch led OF in a speech of couple
of hours long, of great earneStnesS and lib
eral use of authorities. 1t was iainly di-
rected against the Artful Dodger, Douglas,
and completely dissected him politically, in
skillful style. The Republicans came in for
fair share of skinning, and the Bell party
occasionally received touch of the Doctor 5
scalpel.
DR.. Sherrod followed in u short speech,
during which he gave the coup de grace to
Douglasism.
Much applause was given during the
course Of the anatomization by these two
old school doctors, who so we'll understood
their main business-the exhibition of the
morbid condition of Douglasism

Of the above amount the middle division
owes US S343.09, which they are unable to
pay at present, which deducted from the
above balance, leaves 81, O42.82 as the avail
able assets of the Company. The estimate
of the necessary repairs required to place
the Canal in immediate navigable order is
s., 2,850.OO-which leaves a deficiency of
$l,s07.OO, which amount must be raised by
additional subscription.
Judge Foster offered the following reso-
luton.
ResoIUed, That the Managers of the South
eru Division of the Wabash and Erie Canal
proceed, without delay, to collect all delin-
quency and stock uncalled for, and at the same
time solicit additional stock or donations, to
put the Canal in repair in accordance with
the estimate here submitted, and that they
be empowered to appoint, at the different
points on the Canal, assisting committees
to solicit further subscriptions for this pur-
pose; which was adopted.
On motion, that the editors of the city
papers, and the papers at Boonville, Prince
ton, Petersburgh, Washington, Bloomfield,
and Wortbingtou, be requested to copy the
proceedings of this meeting.
On motion, that the meeting adjourn to
Wednesday, October 10th. 1850, for the pur-
pose of electing managers for the ensuing
year. R. BALDWIN, Pres't

following way only:
He is charged by Captain Cook with having abetted
the HarperS Ferry Instruction and then deserving it
As he has informed the American public by letter, which
has appeared in many of their papers Captain Cook Is
wholly unknown to him. and his accusation is untrue
Unless Captain Cook person who once called on
him with Captain Brown, he does not even know who
he is
with Captain Brown, Mr.. Douglass has long been very
intimate and he entirely approved OF his plan OF helping
the slaves to escape the mountains aud secure their
freedom He cognizant of the liarpers Ferry pan
but did his utmost to dissuade him from it, In his anx
iety to avert what he deemed mpracticable scheme
he went about month before the event, to visit Capt
Brown at Chaubersburg, about twenty-eght miles from
Harpers Ferry His arguments were, however, unavai-
ing and his visit would doubt be taken as an evil
deuce that be was party the plan. He in no way
therefore, mixed up with the Instruction. except in so
far that he did not betay his knowledge Of it. and he is
not any way chargeable with deserving Captain Brown
