alive vshemence. But Mr.. Kearney, having mag
niled vision, says there were more than twenty
thousand A series OF resolutions brought cut and
dry to tho meeting even aver that ihsrc were twice
tho latter number. Mr. Kearney's oratoey was of
the scavenger Kind. He sends elegance and deccncy
the mniton bowwows, and shows, at all events,
that he has Owed ccep the garbage OF our elastic
language. He has raked up goodly quantity OF un.
sxvory morsels and he dist tributes Them broadcast
