MEETING OF THE Young DEMoCRACY.-The
young democracy of Boston, which is largely
represented among the delegates at the state
convention, held sort OF conference meeting in
Washburn hall last evening, to talk over the
issues Of the approaching presidential campaign
The meeting was organized by the choice of
Charles II. rockingham of Boston, president,
with list of twenty.three vice presidents and
four secretaries.
The president, on taking the chair read
short speech from printed slip, copies of which
were circulated in limited number among the
reporters and other favored ones in the audi
encc. He said the corruption in Massachusetts,
of which Butler had so much to say one year
ago, has been steadily increasing; and the only
way in which the evil can be remedied is by
-;p, IN
ference he applied to the present condition of
the nation, and compared the two parties, say
ing that the republican party offers nothing
toward the paciication Of the country, while
the democrats and liberal republicans come for
ward with the fraternal and patriotic cry of re-
form and universal amnesty. The speaker
closed with some talk about the title of LID.
attached to the names of Grant and Greeley,
seemingly confoundng it with that of NJ. d.,
for he said the country had had enough of
Grants doctoring and would install DR.. Greeley
as family physician for the next four years.
Mr.. Charles A. Sweeney of Charestown was
then introduced He began by abiding to the
democratic party as the party of reform and the
republican party as grave diggers, who, with
shovel and pick, are endeayoring to dig up and
resusctate issues dead and buried He reviewed
Gen. Grants character and administration, say
ing that two problems presented themselves to
him on taking the presidential chair-how to
get rich and how to continue in office another
four yeaIs-and spoke in severe terms of the
presidents course in the San Domingo matter
aud in regard to Dir. Houard. Senator Wilson
was then taken up and characterized as a
scheming politician and man without princi-
pie.
The speaker reviewed his knownothing record,
and said that he first obtained office by pander-
ing to the worst prejudices of the people He
eulo9ized Greeley, denounced the course of
Blanton Duncan, OConor and Adams in refer
enCe to the Louisville movement; spoke cheer
fully of the result of the Maine election; alluded
to the alleged corruption in the government;
and closed with a hopeful view of the situation,
prophesying grand tidal wave which shall
sweep over the country in favor of the man Of
ability and good intent.
Charles E. Mann of Evansville, Indiana, was
then called upon, and responded with very
hopeful view Of the political situation in that
state. He was very severe in denunciation of
Senator Morton, while his illusions to Hen
bricks were of a very fattering nature, and
were received with enthusiasm.
Thomas Riley Of Boston was the next speaker.
He confined his remarks mostly TO the record OF
DR.. Loring and Gen. Butler, the last two repub-
