The War Democratic Mass Meeting.

The Convention to-day has been a
success, both as regards numbers in at
tendance and the accomplishment OF the
object proposed by the projectors. That
object was the organization Of Demo-
Gratis of the jackson and Douglas stamp
who oppose secession and treason, and
go in for the suppression of the rebellion
and the vindication of the authority of
the Government Such an organization
was made to-day and constitutes the left
wing of the great and invincible Union
army which is now marching on con-
quering and to conquer.

streets and the State House yard, and

siastic yet orderly. l heard railroad
conductor, who had his train crowded
with excursionists going 10 the mass
meeting, remark, that he hadn't had a
bit of trouble with them; but if they had
been Butternuts, it would have been al
most impossible to get through the train
on account of their drunkenness and
rowdyism.
