Democratic Meeting.

The Democratic meeting last week, fel
on an unfortunate day for outdoor Assem-
blages, and the programme was changed
from the park to the Opera House, which
was fairly filed. The opening speech wa:
made by gentleman by the name of Ham
lin, whose volubility and dancing-jacl
style of OratOrical action answered about
the some purpose as the point of the
wedge IN opening the way for the broader
and sffeetive end that follows. He wa:
followed by Senator DOolittle, a gentle,
man of some ability, but about the greatest
good that can be said Of him, is that he
was formerly Republican. But he left
the Republican party some years ago under
circumstances which make him peculiarly
fit to be the champion of such a reformel
as Gov. Tilden. By written proofs given
under his hand he was shown TO be guilty
of corruption in office; and when his letter
containing this proof was published, after
he had entered the service of the DemOc
racy, number Of appointments which had
been made for him in the Northwest were
withdrawn, and he was retired from the
Democratic stump, because he was toe
heavy a load for that party to carry.
The portion Of his speech that was listen
ed to was rather heavy, but its weight wa:
of somewhat solemn character. In sub
stance he told his hearers they might keeE
their boot heels still-it was too solemn al
occasion for applause-he wanted theil
serious judgment and conscience. Tht
way that serious attention was repaid was
rather amusing. It was in an effort tt
quiet all apprehensiOns about the assump
tion Of the rebel debt in case of the success.
Of the Democrat party, because there was 1
constitutional hindranes to collecting Con
federate bonds He led his hearers to be
ieve that this put an end to any rebel de
mands upon the treasury, and this while
he must have known that there were mil
lion Of claims now filed in the COMMITTEES
rooms swaiting action. And as to. th'
rampamcy of the rebels if. elected, the oatf
takensupon entrance to Office would be
guarantee for their good behaviorl Suef
is the stuff for which the sober eonsidera
ton Of his audience was-askedl And thii
they seemed to loOk.upOn as the endsof thu
law on these questions. Our desire to SCI
and hear Senator Doolittle became satisfied
without waiting for tbe,hnale.
