Orestes BrownsOn was the principa,
speaker at the meeting unless we except
Gen. John Cochrane, the candidate for vice
President on the ticket. Brownsou was
very much interrupted in his remarks and
became at times very caustic on those
bothering him. One fellow who was very
much delighted with his denunciations Of
Mr.. Lincoln, enthusiastically yelled out
"GiVe him hell /" from which expression

son said that ''in 1856 he had voted for
Buchauau-but in 1860 he did far worse

Only few months ago Mr.. BrownsOn
was very severe on Mr.. Lincoln because
the policy of his administration was too
SLOW; because he did not lay. bold of the
Slavery question radically and pull. the

formalities. Now he is ready 70 suppot,

The meeting seems to have contained q
very large, if not preponderating elemep,

recognized their presence, and made obsi.
