ale a group of the old sachems were gathered
about the table with papers and records OF the
past for action AS the crowd grew denser by
continued fresh arrivals, uerTiment and good
nature Increased in proportion. Everybody In
turn SAID something funny, at which every body
else was expected 10 laugh, until the cOunte-
nances OF all were radiant with smiles, The
genial faces of the president, Sir. John z. Nor
ris, Judge Moore, DIR. Culyer, K. s. Davis and
others, who have kept the old association alive
- through evil as we'll as good report" were
sunny. A number who were becoming imps-
tent for business we're calling upon Judge
Moore to entertain them with a speech, while
a crowd Of new corners were scrambliug around
membership.
The room becoming too much crowded Mr.
Norris called the meeting TO order, aud stated
that they hoped TO get the large hall above in a
few minutes, as there was a German aSsoca.
ton meeting there which would soon vacate If.
In the mean time he stated the objects of the
meeting 10 be 10 take into consideration the
project OF getting up jubilee demOnstratiOn
to commemorate the recent Overwhelming vic
tories which had been achieved by the united
efforts of the Democrats and honest conServa-
tiVeH of all parties throughout the land. While
they were waiting for the hall he invited appli-
cants for membership to hand in their names.
Mr. K. s. Davis suggested that this had better
be LETT to y committee to consider the names OF
applicants, az the first thing they knew
wM. A. COOK AND eco. s. GIDEON
would be knocking at their doors, and the as
soclation don't want them. Laughter.l
Here the proprietor of the HAN announced
that the society that was entitled TO the large
roOn had waived their right and it was at the
disposal of the association. [Applsuse I
The crowd then jammed through the passage
and stairway and soon the benches of the more
eapaeious room above were filled with the iol-
lest set OF Democrats that gaslight has sheen
upon in this city for many night.
Secretary Allen read the minutes of the last
meeting, and DR.. Culver collected and credited
the dues of members each a twenty-five cents
scrip, and one dollar fee each of new members.
The following we're elected AID planked
down: Rev. q. w. DennisOn; Col. Joseph Sew
George W. Rush, Daniel G. McCarty, L. v
NOonsn, ID. ID. DTane, Henry Ingla, WIN. A.
Barnes, Thomas j. Allen, j. q. Bates, j. L.
BOiseau, and DR.. Aaron w. Miller.
The char repeated the objects of the meet
ing, and said there had been two demonstrs-
tons already, one the other night when they
serenaded Senator Thurman, and the firing OF
two hundred guns yesterday in honor of the
victory, yet the revolution had been so signal
and OverPOweTing that it was deemed best TO
have one grand demonstration. They were cut
of from the states, the people in the states have
had their TejOiCing5 over events which have as
toniShed both democrats and republicans alike.
The democrats have not alone achieved these
results; it was the great conservative masses OF
the entire people Of all political parties. The
Jackson Democratic association intend to meet
hereafter weekly and keep the fires burning
white house; a democratic Senate into wonder
CapitO, a. there has been a democratic boiy
into the House of Representatives, and happy
aud prosperous people throughout the land,
(Chetrs) Then will the people again hsar the
JISGLihG OF SILVER AND GOLD IN THEIR
POCKETS;
then will the mechanic ana labOrer receive the
fruits of their toll in hard coin instead OF worth
less rags. These are things to be hoped for,
and, like faith, evidence or things not seen.
The rich bond holder can now go TO his safe,
draw out his bonds, tear Off his coupons, go the
United States Treasury, get his gold and siver,
while the poor man gets his pay in rags and
ekes out a miserable existence. The people will
rule in the fnture and rest the one man power,
row ring power. The contest was between the
rich ard poor; capital and labor. Poor men
who have been out of employment by the mis-
management Ofthe party in power have turned
and defeated the party. 1t was question OF
bread and butter on the one hand and one man
lower on the other. The people will yet rule.

here demanded to know of the chair whether or

are still mem beers of the as-ociation-if go he
demanded that their names be stricken from
the rolls.
The chair replied that the old list was not in
the hands of the secretary just then and he
cOnld not inform him.
The call being loud for judi e Moore, he arose
aud said be had listened with great pleasure to
tHe project OF having demonstration. They
hsd been so long bound down and oppressed
that the light thrown upon them by recent
events made them DESTROYS to come out and
show their strength. Heretofore in the political
history OF this government the south have had
something TO say, but since the present party
came into power there b al been no south known.
The great agricultural south once used to be
rich, free, and prosperous; il held the balance
OF trade, kept hard coin i'll circulation by means
OF its great staple, cotton. What is il now? Its
laboreFs unemployed, the great staple left I'M
cultivated, and the gold and silver shipped
abroad to supply the demand from foreign
countries. 1t is folly to talk about specie pay
ments until the south can be permitted TO re-
turn TO their agricultural pursuits in peace.
Then viii we hold the balance of the worlds
trade again. Let the south manage her own af-
fairs without the aid or the Attorney General,
who has handcuffed her best citizens and
marched them hundreds of miles 10 prison un-
der negro guards. The course pursued by the
so shameful that even the negroes had become
Disguised. This disgust had become general
it had even reached old Essex county, Massa-
cbusetts. There are thousands OF reasons for
these victories. They are not exclusively
democratic victories; il is the uprising
of the honest and good of the land
TO protest against republican misruIe.
A system OF ring rule. like the board OF public
works, had been established through the length
and breadth OF the land, and the people were
determined to shake it off. [Applause.l He
welcomed all into the fold to share their JOYS
and their rewards. The Old constitution as it
was, was their only salvation. [Cheers.l There
Is 10 power on earth that can save the republic
except the doctrine OF state soyeTeignty-the
pillar which sustainR the great fabric. When
state sovereignty is lost the union cannot exist.
In the same ratio you Cypress a state and in
fringe upon her rights, in the same ratio you
weaken the whole body polite. This great ele-
mentaTy sy stem was recognize by our fathers
ia establishing the constitution, and had never
been ignored until the present party got into
power and have ruled by the right of might.
[ AppIause.l As IL is now, the President of the
United States and his Attorney General can
make or unmake states. AS an evidence of this,
look at LoUisaua. lApplause.l Thank God,
Kellogg is reported sick with CHOLERA, and he
hoped IL was true, and that the epidemic would
spread until all who upheld him would become
sick. He wanted to see Publication in this
city, but he wanted to have some OF their dem
ocrAtc friends from the states Co be present and
tell them how it had been done. Applause.
