for the purpose Of breaking up the Demo
cratic party, and many other absurd things.
At the meeting Singleton presided, and
taving had every thing arranged beforehand,
lad the speakers named bY bis boudsmen'
Ben Edwards VAS on the ground With mau-
uscript OF speech in his pocket that would
fiji every column Of the State Register, but
did not get chance to deliver 1t, and finding
1t was no use trying, after pokinS bis nose
into the crowd at both stands re 2eated1y, left
the ground in disgust
Instead Of Edwards, Il. Clay DIAN took
one stand and L. n. Ross the other. These
TWO great men made time race Of 1t, ard It
wss hard to tell which made the most black
guard and demagogical speech. Ross beat
Dean in ind and ii time, but Dean laid out
out Ross on low yu1garity, and consequently
took the crowd. These two may be consid-
cred the great guns Of the day. VIM. G.
Curry, Of Cincinnati, and Christopher Crib
bene, Of st. Louis, were the next on the Sim
gleton programme, and they certainly toed
the mark Of peace to the satisfaction Of the
crowd.
Both spoke right ont In meeting Curry
said that the South WIS right aud we were
wrong. That If the doctrine Of State rights
was correct, then the South had d perfect
right to secede, and- he was1n favor Of ac-

had q perfect right to wage the war he was
waeing, to arrest Vallandigh.m, and cut off
al your .heads, ard string them up like SO
many oLions.
Here he Was interrupted by DR.. French, of
this city, who whispered to him that he
was going too far, and begged him to desist,
hut the crow wn5 With Curry, and cheered
him wildly. Finally French told him openly
that he Was traitor, and two or three more
policy Democrats begged Of him to give way
for few moments for resolution. By this
trick Curry was at length prevailed upon to
dry up. j.
