tachmcnt and clearly proved the falsity
Of the assertions made by the Republi-

and advised all our people to conduct
themselves in an orderly, peaccablC
manner, but not to care snap for all
the Deputy Marshals that may be ap-

day.
The meeting was very largely atten

where our party is greatly in the mi

side.
VIM. Reynolds, Esq was first intro
duced' Mr.. R. proved that the falsit,
of the assertions made by Republican,
that our speakers are afraid to discuss
State issues, and for half an hour ex
posed the fallary of the ridiculous ca
pital which the Republicans attemp
TO make out of the attachment law
His remarks well received and warmly
applauded, After concluding, Mr.

speech.
