after few hours notice, was we'll attended
by ladies and gentlemen. An organization
was effected BY the election Of Col. Abraham
Curry as Chairman. Lewis Doron Esq, al
Vice President, and Henry r. Mighels as
Secretary. Mr.. Stewart was received
with applause, and proceeded to a
brief review Of the attitude Of the Democratic
party of to-day. He drew the lines with
much precision and nicely between the two
great parties which are contending for tn
mastery in American poitics-divding them
into the Union. or loyal party, and the dis
union or disloyal par,y-demons,ra,ing the
fact that the so-caled Democratic party, as
at present existing is simply party Of refuge
for all the disloyal elements Of the country

Union and sympathy with secession. As
illustrative OF modern Democracy, Mr..
stewart proceeded to portray the
character OF their leader, Hora,io Seymour,
and the acts and sayings of that model Cop
perhead. The speaker then gave us very
truthful and amusing description Of the
Blair family in general and Frank Z. Blair

deeds Of the grea, Union party, placing tina,
record and their deeds in startling contrast
with what was presented by the Seymours,
the Blairs and tn Democratic party. The
infamous character of the leaders of rebell-

harites were passed in review: and the
