men, who came for no other purpose and
out OF no other desire than to hear what
these traitors to their country had to say
ana do. You have doubtless seen. Mr.. Ed
ltor, the call for this secesh meetino and
know the treason therein breathed, bat trail
torous as that call was, the speakers went
Tar beyond it in giving expression to their
reasonable designs to oppose the choices of
the Government, and desire that the Union
might be peoceaJy dissolved, and the South
ern Iontcderacy recognized as an indcpen-
"ehI nation 10 me, somewhat rejecting
on the condition of affairs, it is STRANGE that
men protesting to be Delawarcans. and
who, of I'LL others, in view of our past his
tory and present position, should be first in
their devotion to the Union and Constitu-
ton, can be 50 deaf to the voice ofrectitudc
and so reckless to the peace and interests of
thelr state rs to desire to desolate every
hearthstone withthe horrors ola war brourbt
about by men prompted by motives as trail
torouS and dcbaSed us their own, merely he
cause the President Of the United States is
not of their own selection. 4 sad and
mourntul history will that be when the anocl

Their political sins. l shall not burden your
readers with the prcliminarics Of the ORGAN !
lzatlon and adjournment Of the meeting.
At the appointed hour, II o'clock. the
meeting reaSsemblcd, and then, Mr. Editor.
came string of resolutions that would have
done honor to the most devoted admirtr of
jeff Davis They were the same resolutions
passed at the meeting in Kent, and are AS
i"!i OF treason as an egg is of meat. No
enthusiasm was manifested at their realino
and | could see plainly, from the heightened
vlSageS of the speakers, that they saw they
mad Il hard road to travel" "Tinder-boy"
,Chas. BROWN was then called for, and like
bold man mounted the rostrum. An at
tempt was made to greet him with cheers
but 1t was "no gO;" only DIR. Salisbury
ana tew boys, whom l suppose he gave
penny apiece, clapping. But "Tinder-
box" was not to be daunted, and OFF he
went, rafting like frying-pan to dogs
AL lie rchearSed his old speech with the
'rdor OLA whipped schooboy, and took his
scat amid the universal and profound silence '
If his audience. E
And now, Mr.. Editor, came Wizards
the potent, grave and rev. c
'rend Senator" The Doctors face was all =
'glow-smile after smile played upon his ,

Hope elevated !
And joy frightened his crest
IS he stood contemplating the certain tri-
Imph of "Willard." Out came Willard. :
Daring and foaming like the great boar of a
he forest The Doctor clapped, begged f
us friends to clap, but they did not see the Il
'olnt. Willard ranted and raved, ripped o
md roared, in bounding, sounding, sophie .
lfore tiOurshes the sweat streamed and "
he froth flew. He told them that he was
Ne'Nt0r, and how these Abolitionists want

indeed, Mr.. Editor, so constant has been $,
lis care, and so utterly absorbed has Will CT
ard been in the welfare of his constituency II
hat his eyesight has failed him, and he is :
compelled to wear green goggles. Now n
here is wicked gossip "going the rounds" a
hat he got somewhat too much of g Inspir- il

he bar and cut his eye against the spittoon. p
But what if he did fall down. that is no req "
on he was tight: many a man has fallen in v
bar-room and got black eye without be-
ng " out of the way" 1t is wrong, Mr.. :.
editor, to circulate such reports / take it al
lpon myself to defend a man who has been al
o ardent IN his e6arts, so sslI-S7!Gcing to the Il
'eOple of this State. A mans brain may CT

Willard. lie told them that the Hon Geo. St
