ly feeling deeply grateful, not only for the
fruits Of the earth" with which the mbors of
the husbandman have been crowned, but also for
the blessed hope held out to the people of this
country Of return to constitutional liberty,
assembled, at the invitation Of their brethren OF
the fifth district, at Dublin, to celebrate the day
IN mutual rejoicing for the recent great polii-
cal victory.
The weather was bulmy as the breath If
spring, and the songs Of birds were all that was
necessary to make the sprlng-ike illusion per-
feet. The arrangements for the occasion were
well conceived and successfully carried out. A
large OK had been procured, and roasted in the
o!d-iashlOned manner in Il hole in the ground,
and when the head cook pronounced the huge
roast done, it was carved and served to the large
crowd IN attendance. After the barbecue the
feast oil reason commenced. The meeting was
organized by the selection of Cunningham Il.

dents, and j. Il. Ely Secretary. The first speak
er introduced was Col. Herman Stump, whose
eloquent rcmarkc were listened to with atten-
ton and evident pleasure,
Col. stump was followed by Joseph 4. Hcuis-
Ter, Esq, of Baltimore city. Without diSparag-
Ing the splendid efforts of other gentlemen in
this county, during this falls campaign, your
correspondent can truly say, that Mr. Hculslcl't
speech was one of the ablcst and most forcible
that he has ever heard. His clear,
trumpet like tones ut once arrested attention,
and when aroused the whole audience listened
almost hrcathlessly TO the burning, eloquent
words that were poured forth as from fountain,
for nearly an hour In vivid words he recalled
thememory oithc days of the immortal statesmen
Calhoun and jackson, aud paid glowing tri-
butte to their genius and patriotism. He con-
graduated the Democracy upon their late glo-
rious victory, but urged them, in the hour of
their triumph 10 be magnanimous towards the
vanqulshed foe. am unable to give you even q
fair outline OF this mastery eitcrt, which all
who heard will long remember.
William Young, Esq, was the next speaker
introduced. He said that although not one of
the speakers named for the meeting, yet he felt
1t his duty, wherever and whenever called upon,
to lend his aid in the cause of Democracy; to
promote and advance, as far as in his power,
constitutional liberty and the government of our
fathers. Mr.. Young spoke earnestly and elo-
quently, and when he concluded, G.. w. Rich
ardson, Esq, made a speech, which was credit
able to his head AMI his heart and which clear
ly showed the force of early training in the
Democratic faith,
! must not forget TO mention the excellent
gor Cornct Band. This band has only recently
been organized, but their selections and the
style III which they were rendered would have
been meritorious for more prNcticed perform
ers.
The day passed Off pleasantly in every respect,
ana about sunset the audience dispersed.
