TIE Radical Mass { y Meeting.-If
we could bring our mind to the point
of imagination which {. E. f." did when
he telegraphed to the An,erican the ac-
count OF the mass meeting held here
last Thursday, We might be able to
agree with him, but unfortunately can
not. Notwithstanding large posters,
containing the most fragrant accounts
ofithe Radical majorities in the recent
elections, and couriers sent to the sever
al districts to stir up the faithful, it was
found convenient when the organization
took place to adjourn to the.courtsroonl,
it being quite large enough to accom-
modate the immense atioag. A portion
of the procession in passing our office
gave three cheers for Seymour and
Blair, for which they will accept our
thanks. ssapgs, iiii.

tanned solid instruction, and it was lis

marked attention. m a
