The MEETING OF THE CANPAToS.-Ihe
greatest political meeting ever held, came
of at Springfield. H.. on the 9Th inst
The crowd was so large. that no attempt
has been made to estimate the number.
The procession was eight miles long and
the torch-light procession. at night. was
two miles in length. The correspondent
of the St. Louis Democrat says that the
largest Douglas Convention ever assem-
bled, might have been cut out OF this
Lincoln demonstration, and there would
have been enough left to whip ayoung
earthquake, and nutroar the Camanche
tornado. John Hanks, Lincoln's old
rail-msuling partner, was present, and
was enthusiastically cheered. In the pro-
cession was a wagon containing loom
driven by steam. upon which piece OF
Kentucky jeans was woven, passed to an
other wagon, where pair of pantalOOns
were cut out BY tailor. and passed on
to a sewing. machine. where the panta-
looms were made up. They are to be
presented to Old Abe, after his election.
Mr.. Lincoln went to the Fair grounds to
look on, but was carried to the stand by
the crowd, where he returned few words
of thanks and encouragement, and then
retired. This WAC in striking contrast
with the conduct of certain small indi
vidual, who is gadding about the coun-
try, delivering a thread-bare speech to
every crowd Of half a dozen men that
can be drummed up to listen to him.

ENLIGHTENED LAws.-ChriSt declared
that the Mosaic laws were given to the
Hebrews because OF the hardness of their
hearts. We would be inclined to think
that some of the Nebraska laws were en-
acted for like purpose, were it not that
they can be accounted for upon palmer
grounds. e., ignorance of the law ma
kers. The laws of Kansas, and Of other
States and Territories, have been severe
ly criticised /; but it must be conceded
that Nebraska takes the palm. 1t will
be recollected, in this connection, that
Nebraska has never had other than Dem
ocratic Legislatures, and her Governors,
of course, have been Democrats of the
deepest dye.
There is on the statute books license
law, providing that, for every violation
of the law, the Justice shall render judg-
ment for the whole amount of costs, with
a fine, } and be committed to the COM
mon jail until the same is paid The
first Legislature passed law concerning
the running at large of stations. A lit
eral Interpretation of the law, as it was
worded, required that the owners of such
animals should be casteratedI When this
bungle was discovered, the law was amen
