POLITICAL ITEMS.
RousrNG DEMONSTRATION IN ONcYSArI.-A cores
pondent Of the New York hzpreS under date oil lsIn
inst. says:
"Porkopolis never witnessed such mass meeting as
last night blocked up its streets and squares As early
As seven o'clock the gathering commenced in the Fifth
street Market Place. aud before eight o'clock the throng
could be measured by acres. The torch light bearers
extended to such length that the marshal divided them
into four different professions and they conVerged 10
the rendezvous from four different quarters. The effect
was splendid. The long lines Of light extending in every
direction as far as the eye could reach, Illuminated the
cty while rockets and Roman candles illuminated the
| upper air.
Three different stands were erected from which Gen.
Leslie Coombs Hon. Lewis d. Campbell, Col Kinney
and others delivered stirring addresses. But numerous
as were the speakers the OF humanity was too ex-
tensve for their voices to reach all, and while $4,000
people we're listening TO Union speeches, about 1000 pa
raded the streets with orchghs and music. The last
movement was extempore affair, and got up for the
benefit Of those who could not get within earho of the
speakers
Such an immense meeting has never before been
known in the West. Even the Black Republicans con-
fess that there is not material enthusiasm enough in
their ranks to approach it. The fact Is the Union men
are surprised at their strength and this meeting has
given the cause a and wonderful impulse"
ANOTHER IMPORTANT ACcEssIoS.-It is with much
pleasure says the Mobile Advertiser, that able TO
announce on the very best authority that talented
| and respected tOWnsinan u. " AnuefeOn, Esq, VINO,
with number Of other oldime Wings Joined the Demo-
cratic party and supported Buchanan the best not
the only means put down Northern sectionasm, has
embraced the cause Of the Constitutional Union party
and will be heard from on the stump, in support OF
! our "noble and true" candidates.
Mr. Anderson sees clearly, what all our Wing friends
who mistakenly thought that supporting Buchanan
the best of rebuking fanatcism will sooner or
later appreheud NEARLY all OF them have already done
ths that the which led them into the ranks of
the Democracy should now induce them enlist in the
Bell and Everett army. Every day it is becoming
apparent that the only conservative candidate in the field
having the least chance Of defeating Lincoln, is John
Bell of Tennessee and hence the conservatism and pat
rosm Of the country, irrespective Of party are rayng
enthusiastically to his standard.
We welcome Mr.. Anderson to our swelling ranks with
sincere qualification and expect TO very large bene
its dow from his patriotic course.
A CANDID ACKNOWLEDGEMENT a Breckenridge ana
Lane ratification meeting in Madison, Ga, few nights
since Col John q. McHenry had the manliness to
knowledge the soundness aud worth Of candidates
| The Madison Visitor, a neutral paper, says:
HE complimented Mr.. Bell a sound man, and Mr..
Everett as a pure, heightened noble gentleman, whose
sense of Justice lowered above the storm Of anaticsm,
which distracted the country and eoparded the rights
| of our section Of the Union"
'This, remarks the Augusta Chronicle is very differ
ent from the common herd Of Breckenridge siangVaHg
ers, who are accustomed from party bitterness or
from ignorance to denounee John Bell large slave
holder as "unsound" and Mr. Everett Of the purest
men OF the Republic, as vile AboitionisE Common de-
cency ought close the mouths of the slanderers, if
nothing else could"

this community and the country, as an advocate OF the
