Upon these resolutions and their susgcs'

the speeches OF the evening. The ten minute

ccssion Of speakers during the three hours
session. There was much enthusiasm, much
of high and excellent spirit manifested. All
parties were represented in the course Of the
| evening, from ultra pro-slavcry, to its oppo
site, and yet all were for the Us1oS AND TIE
| LAWS.
The entire affair went through With full
tide Of enthusiasm, from the time Of its organi
zation to It's close at a late hour, when it We.
unanimously moved to adjourn, to meet again
at the call Of the Committee, it being very eyi
| dent that there was quite enough enthusiasm
| and rood intent to be carried over to another
OCCASION.
