thy Of the liberal spirit of our people, and the
gathering such as to call to remembrance the
hallowed associations of the past, when, as
free people we battled for the supremacy of
the Constitution and real Union of the
States
Hon. JOHNSON n. CAMDEN, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of West
Virginia, has promised to be with us on that
day, and may be confidently expected to ad-
dress the crowd. Other able speakers have
been invited, among them Senator THUR
MAN, of Ohio, and Hon. WILLIAM
PINCKNEY WHITE, of Maryland, and it
IS not improbable that both these distin-
guished gentlemen will be present.

feeding the multitude will be ample, but in
order to make this part of the programme a
certainty, the ladies' Of this and adjoining
counties arc invited to come in their car
riaEcs and wagons, and to bring with them
their well-il baskets of provision. We
hope the occasion may be graced by thou
sands of the fair daughters of Jefferson,
Clarke, Frederick, Berkeley and Loudoun
counties, who are so deeply interested in re"
storing the Government to its former glory,
by rescuing it from the hands of the present
radical faction.
