and the band played national air.
Mr.. Simpson Il. Moses, was made President
with II Vice Presidents and Secretaries, and
the orator of the evening. Hon. E. Etheridge,
was introduced and received with cheers.
Mr.. E. said in view Of what had been seen by
the citizens OF the National Metropolis, he was
setonished that they were in favor of any thing
h18s0 ehaDge in the Government. The Gov
SRn}1efs was once the pride of every citizen,
Bgt't0f the last three years it had been the
8daues and there was prospect that change
was 70 be made they could not do otherwise
thAH,rejoice.

stitution. The first as soldier and citizen had
always done his duty, and the latter was
Moet promising young man. IT these men as
Mp1ed the reins OF Government next March,
~ people OF Washington would not shed many
taers for Father Abraham.
a. MI T.. continued charging the North was
51nd do wn by one desPotism, and the South
ooh
Hall, Lincoln, &c, were as much disunion as
Jeff Davis. He did not mean to charge Lin
cbln with disunionism, fer he did not believe
Mat L. had brains enough to tell what q dis
unionist was. The secessionists OF the South
were the immediate cause of the rebellion,
while the Abolitionists of the North were the
remote cause, ana they both must be put down
forever.
Eff Lincoln was elected the war would go on
IN four years longer, and If things 60 ON as
they have the citizens reed not be surprised to
- the Presidency exposed for sale at center
Darket, with old Simon Cameron and Ben
Butler as chief bidders. The first being great
trickster would probably buy the article, but
I'd Ben Butler, whose reputation for stealing
was good, would get to the White House first

and 9thers as to the bravery exhibited by the
ss.1he speaker then proceeded to pay his res
Poets to Jim Lane and Andrew johnson, and
he charged the latter with having made as Bit
ter q secesh speech as had been made since the
South seeded.
Better times were coming, however. The
military had interfered with elections, but he
did not think that AIRY fraud would be at
tempted at this election. Delaware, which had
been oyerridden by soldiers, a few days since
gave q apdsome democratic majority. and he
1ered with, would reject the new constitution.
Mr. Etheridge concluded by reiterating his
GeuHees that johnson had been disloyal, and
had done much for the rebellion.
s1essrs. Florence, Clampitt, Utermehle, Akin
and Norris followed Mr.. Etheridge at the main
sand; while on the south side of Massachu-
large wagon being used, in which one of the
vice presidents, MIR. u. T. Griffith, presided,
and from which Messrs. Aiken, Nerris, r. W.
Fenwick, Clayton, Miller, and stout GENTLE
man spoke.
The latter, a Montgomery county farmer,
weighing about three hundred pounds, was
introduced to the crowd as "Old Fatty,
from Montgomery" and received with laugh
ter and applause, and shout after shout for
sold Montgomery county," and after order had
been restored, he went on to say: "FelIow-
citizens, am from old M Montgomery. G"Hurrah

you let me 60 on. Pm freeman. G"Go in fat

tleman here attempted to leave the wagon, but
was persuaded to continue, when he said: 81

MARKS, but, after short pause, was induced
to proceed

Mere the wagon holding the stout gentleman
made q sudden lurch across the avenue, q
utmher of young men and boys having seized
the pole, and others doing service at the rear.
The crowd, however, followed, calling on
EsFatty" to continue, and he exclaimed, sHow

the boys kept on and drew him and his col,
