Gen. Wilson in City Hall.

There was large gathering of the friends
OF the Union, at City Hall last evening, to
listen to speech from Hon. Henry Wilson.
Notwithstanding the short notice given Of
the meeting, no arrangements having been
made for it until noon yesterday, the spacious
hall was densely filed, the floor being occu-
pied by gentlemen, and the galleries by ladies.
Hon. James T. McCobb presided, and intro
duced the orator, who was received with tok-
at Gorham in the afternoon, and was some
what exhausted. Nevertheless, he occupied
the close attention of the audience for one
hour and three-quarters, in an able and effective
address, which was frequently interrupted
with applause.
Abiding to the Consumption act, Gen. Will
son acknowledged that he had something to
do in framing it, and said, that as he had been
poor man once, snd dependant upon his dali
ly labor for support, his sympathies had al
ways been for the poor man, and were so now.
The conscription act was framed for the poor
mans benefit. The old act exempted some
thirty or forty thousand Office holders and
others, who could well afford to hire substi-
tute or pay the exemption fee; and in order
that the mechanic should have an equal chance,
the $500 exemption fee was inserted in the
bill. in order to keep down the price of sub
stitutes, which, without that proviso in the
bill, would have been at very high rate.
Gen. Wilson, after closing his remarks, was
greeted with three cheers from the audience.
