THE MEETING TONIGHT

THE MEETING TONG HIT
Every Democrat should attend the
meeting in the City Hall to night =
The meeting, we understand, will be
organized at o'clock, the hour named,
and the attendance of all should be
punctual, if they wish to hear one of
the most gifted and eloquent orators
which the old Keystone has produced.
We allude to. the Honorable JOSIAH
RANDALL. Other eloquent gentlemen
will also be present and address Che
meeting. Come forward Democrats
and hearth truth once more proclaim
ed in the old Hall where your sires
loved to assemble and point to the evils
which the triumph of the fanatics and
-factionists,were sure to bring about.
How true We're their predictions the
present ruinous state of the country
will attest. Democrats, as you were
not permitted to stay the tide of OWLS
that have flown from the accession of
the Radicals to power, it is now your
duty to meet in council and by united
efforts endcavor to modify, to some ex-
tent, those that already exist, and pre-
vent if possible, the rapidly approach
ing ruin engulfing the whole country
in irretrieyable misery and woe.

son to believe that the liberties Of the American
people are safe 10 his hands, and that, when every
principle Of the Constitution has been trampled
under foot by military osncs is of itself no tri.

proved himself great soldier, he has net aeted in

Epithets, North and South.

The radicals. both North and South, have the
most extraVagant idea Of the value Of epilhets.-

method Of conducting war with gongs. They ap
psrently expect hostile armies and camps to melt
away before their objurgations, like the Walls Of
Jericho before the blast Of tho miraculous trumpsta
Radical secessionlsts of the South never speak of
Northern generals or Northern men without an sc-
campaigning volley Of strong words; aud they doubt

Lincoln, fearing that those who are opposed to
