RAYS HUI, Oct. 2, 1868.


FRIEND MEYERs 4al e.
have concluded to give you few stray
lines in relation to the grand C) Abolition gath
ering which Davy Over was to have addressed
yesterday at Fairview. Davy was no doubt in
buoyant spirits, thinking of the immense gath
ering Of citizens he would lave under the sound
Of his voice to listen to his eloguence in this
stronghold Of Abolitionism. 1t the hour ap-
pointed for the maeting, the delegations began
to arrives each delegation was composed Of
single man, ard ere long there were present seven
Abolitioniss.s and one Democrat. Davy thought
the assc' nblage too small and too much scatter
cd for him to waste his precious breath in speak
inc GO 50 few and the Abolitionists sneaked back
Tilhout hearing any of Davy's cloquence. Poor
Dayy. there he sat by tho Little King Of the
II;ubor, who was trying to console him by tell
ing him that they would be out on the day Of
election, wringing his hands and looking to SEQ
the masses gathering, but they were not visible,
then turning his head downward, evidently sur
veying those Internal regions, where ere long,
lie no doubt expects to join the rest of his polit-
ical friends in singing praises to Fatller a be.
The Little King appeared anxious tohaye some
advice from Dayy, il his Abolition friends fall
ed, as great many OF them viii, to ee present
on the day of election, how he could BEST fola
two tickets together to make up the deficiency
of absent Republicans, without being detected
again by the Inspector. This meeting was d
sad affair to some of those sapient gentlemen in
| this township, who have heretofore led the mas
ses by fasehood and deception, but which they
can do no longer, as the decreased majority
which East Providence will give shoddy Andy,
will abundantly show. Yours, truly, a.

The editor of this paper, although a candidate,
reGrained from ''blowing his own trumpet" and
has hitherto permitted his political enemies to
assail him almost without reply. He now takes
this opportunity to say, (what is unnecessary to
be said to any man Of sensa) that he is, as he
has always been and always will be, a UNION
MAN, in favor Of the Union as Washington
and his compeers made it, and now pledges him
self, if elected, to use every effort in his power
to bring about restoration of the Union as it
was. t.t

Fraud and Forgery!

In the Bedford lnqui,rer, of week before last,
appeared what purported to be letter written
by b. L. Meyers to a Mr.. Reed, in Woodberry.
This publication was made to incense the friends
of Mr.. Hall and the A boition trickstcrs thought,
when they accomplished this fraud, that they
would certainly make great capital against the
Demcratic nominee for Assembly. But they have
been circumvented and their FORGERY will
avail them nothing are but two persons
Of the narle of Reed in Middle and South Wood
berry tt,s., and they have made the following
statements which place Mr.. Wheelbarrow in
about as enviable light before the public as did
the brand recently put upon him by the Burgess
and Council. Read these statements, Repub-
cans. and blush for tho fraud and meanness of
which those who claim to be your leaders have
been guilty.

tofore the stronghold Of the enemy. GEORGE

The popular song of these times is
"When this Cruel War is Over" It is
the greatest musical success ever known
ia this country. Within the space of 8
few months, 10000 copies of it have been
sold and the demand is increasing instead
Of falling of. TIE publishers and owners
Of the copyright have a music store in
Brooklyn and have hitherto done a limited
local business. But they have, through
the agency Of this one simple ballad, be-
CONF known throughout the trade, andean
command every catalogue in the country.
The song is a fortune to them. The best
work by the most famous composer Of the
world would not be one-tenth part as prof
liable. The music and the words Of the
ballad are not remarkable for beauty OF
originality. But the melody catches the
popular ear, and the words touch the pop
ular heart.
