Last evening, the regular meeting of the
Jackson Democratic Association was held AZ
Csrusi's Hall, which, tbs unnecessary to say,
was not flied by half large and en- IA usiastic
crowd as on Tuesday night. AK O'Clock
there were present perhaps twenty i've per.
sons, including b. T. Swart, R. s. DAVIS,
=. A. Aiken, DIR. T. q. Clayton. I. Newbauk,
l.. L. Barnes and ]. w. Mead. Most of these
occupied the stand. where they were subse-
quently Joined by Mr.. VIM. Flynn, and al
though the spirits Of some seemed to be down
Dr. Clayton was in very good humor, and
CHARMED, as did Mr.. Aiken, that Pennsylvania
was safe, ard thar Indiana had gone for Hen
dricksi and in this they Were backed by Mr.
Davis, the secretary, who announced TO the
reporters, 4" We've got EN-" There was some
Little figuring as 10 the number of electoral
votes the Democratic candidates would receive.
ana 70 their satisfaction they figured out the
election of Seymour and Blair. On close in.
spectlon Of the list Of States, some expressed a
doubt as to the State OF New York; they were
afraid that Col. O'Beirne having gone over ID
the Radicals would take that State with him.
About O'Clock, Mr.. Swar;, President, called
the meeting 10 order, the number by that honr
present being over fifty persons. An invita-
un was extended for the presentation of names
Tor membership, and the names of Samuel
Goodman, OF Hartford, Connecticut, aud Tnos
ID Sandy were presented and they Were
elected.
Mr.. VIM. Davis offered resolution that until
the news from the States, the hall shall be
opened twice per week; and Monday and
thursday nights being designated, the resolu-
Mr.. Aiken offered the following; which was
adopted:
ResoIued by the Jackson Democratic Association
OF the city 81 Washington, That We pledge our
selves to redouble our exertIons to secure the
triumphant election of Seymour and Blair
He also read-'.Re soIred, That we deprecate
any attempt to'-(Dr Clayton. Oh, Oh, Oh
The President, Oh. no y and he withdrew the
paper. tearing II up.
DIR. Clayton was introduced, as having Just
returned from Philadelphia, and he proceeded
10 address the audience, stating that the cam
paign IN Pennsylvania was the best conducted
campaign he mad ever heard of, and in the city
OF Philadelphia they had carried the city by
2,sWO, and elected Democratic Mayor in a city
which for twelve years had been a perfect hot
bed OF radicalism. The Radicals &C kno wledged
al - o clock that the State had gone Democratic
by from two to i've thousand, but the papers
showed different in the morning. This was
the tactics of the Radicals to misrepresept the
result and keep up the spirits OF the party un-
nj after the Presidential election. He felt sure
that the State would go for the Democrats in
the general election. If the State was sure for
the Radicals the Press and ChroHicIe would
have put out their big heads on the following
morning. They had heard from Indiana that
Hendricks had been elected. They were vet a
united party-leavIng out Butler, Logan and
MI O'Beirne He felt no encouragement, and
was surprised when he reached the city to see
some of his Democratic friends holding to the
iamp-posts, on account of weak knees. He
nad seen the great ovation paid by PhiIadel-
pbIa 10 Mcclellan, which was such a one as
showed the esteem in which the people held
hlm, and was probably the greatest ovation
ever paid man in this country.
MIR. Aiken followed, (being introduced by Dr.
Clayton as the next champion of Iberty.) and |
commenced by stating that he indorsed what |
DR.. Clayton had SAID. The Associated Press |
was in the hands of the Radicals, aud they
sent dispatches to suit them. They had cheated |
the Democratic party in Philadelphia out of |
six thousand votes OF white voters who had |
fought for the country. He knew OF Judges of |
election who made false returns. and who
refused the votes of honest Democrats He saw
nothing but bright skies, and in November next |
seymour and Blair would be elected; for IL |
they los. Pennsylvania and Ohio and carried |
Indiana, there would be enough States to elect
the ticket. 1t made no difference if such men as
Col. O'Beirne-who was hardly out of the
army week before he was installed into
offce-go over TO the enemy, AMI il any clerks
now wish to Join the Grant an CoIfix Club.
afraid OF their petty offices, n would request
them TO follow O'BeirLe
UT. II. :. Davis followed, saying that he was
as strong In the faith rs ever, for he had re.
ceived a Geographic dispatch announcing the |
election of Hendricks, and Pennsylvania and
Indiana had both gone for Seymour and Blair. |
The days of the Radical party, the Bureau and |
National Banks were numbered. I'VE have
got them" They could not trust a military
man-he Will sacrifice the country to crafty
his personal ambition. II was all buncombe,
the Radicals carrying the State OF Pennsylva-
MIA. and when the vote was in ii would be
shown that Pennsylvania was Democratic. In
Seymour and Blair will be elected,
and liberty will again smile over the length
and breadth Of the land, and Of the Radical
party it may be then sung
1.-The harp that once through Tara's halls
The soul Of music shed,
Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls
As if that soul had fed"
Dr. Clayton was again called out, and briefly
addressed the Association; after which they
adjourned.
