A messenger at this moment entered the room
with dispatch, which announced that Lancaster

and while the audience was endeavoring to catch
the point thereof, great sensation near the door
proclaimed the arrival of a fresh dispatch: and
room was made for a messenger to rush up to the
stand, bearing in his hand missive for President
Boyle. Breathless silence In an instant pervaded
the room, and the president, after careful ,cru
uhy OF the mysterious paper, rose from his seat
and announced that the dispatch was from PhiIa-
delphia; that returns had been made from eleven
wards, giving Foster majority of ~ 600 and
some odd hundreds. Three tremendous cheers
simultaneously burst from the excited throng at
this intelligence. The President said that dis
patch was so good he would read 1t again. which
he did; and three more cheers and tiger followed
the second reading. The Chair said the dispatch
was from John Barker, and somebody said John
BARKER wasa good egg; whereat three more cheers
Were given for John Barker, who had sent the
hopeful dispatch.
The widest excitement now pervaded the
: crowd, and MIR. w. II. Hope got up, excitedly
and said that IL the last news should prove to be
true, Philadelphia city was good for 20 10 ma
jority for Foster, and the State would be carried
By at least 30 200. [Cheen
