EiZZlesI !

The Abolitionists seeing how hopeless their
cause had become, resolved to galvanlze into
life their defunct party, by holding two "Grand
Mass Conventions" one at Bloody Run and the
other at Schellsburg In order to draw crowd,
they advertised these meetings for weeks, in
their organ, and sent out huge posters, setting
forth the times and places of the meetings, and
the names Of the distinguished gentlemen"
who were to address them. Among the speak
ers named, were John Scott, of Huntingdon,
and Henry D. Moore. of Philadelphia. These
speakers were announced, just as Curtin, Scott
and Others were announced for their meeting on
Court week, to deceive the people into attend
ing, out of curiosity. But the people did not
attend, this time, and the redoubtable Scott and
the eloquent Moore also failed to make their
appearance. The meeting at Bloody Run, con-
sisted Of about 250 people, men, women and
children. A delegation from Bedford took its
own rations along, expecting the hotels at the
Run to be 50 crowded that it would be impossi-
bic for them to get anything to eat. But when
they got there they found it necessary to put
their baskets aside, and, for shame's sake, to
patronize the tables of the hotels. The meet
ing was addressed by fellow named Shriner
who last year tried to beat Mr. Slenker for Au-
ditor General, and didn't succeed, though lie
stumped the State against him; also, by a leath-
erheaded pettifogger from Huntingdon, named
Brown, by Yankee razor-strop man, who calls
himself Texan, and by fellow who pretends
to be preacher of "Peace on Earth, Good Will
to Men," but who stoops to drag his minister's
robes in the filth of Abolition stump-speaking.
Considering that this meeting was held in what
was once the stronghold of the opposition, and
the extraordinary efforts to drum out crowd
which had been resorted to, it was one of the
worst failures we ever heard of.
THE CoLvINs PORCH ''MAss CONVENTION"
But the greatest izzle was the "Grand Mass
Convention" advertised to be held at Schells-
burg. The Razor-Strop man and Shriner were
taken up to that place in state. A large dele.
CATION, composed of three carriages, from this
place, formed their escort. Arrived at Schells-
burg the speakers were properly groomed and
liquored and everything was in readiness for the
opening of the ''Grand Mass Convention" Then
it was that pair of red eyes were seen to look
down the street and up the street, in anxious
search after the mass of human beings expected
to be present. But, alas! for that sad pair of
ruby eyes, the extent of the crowd aoas confined
to Co'vins porch, and poor Shriner and the Knight
of the Razor-Strop, diagusted and humiliated,
were compelled to speak to an audience of about
80 persons! Oh, ye gods! how are the mighty
fallenl
