Y The Conservative meetine a. the Acade-
ny Of Music last night was one Of the
graz, dest and most imposing poiifFlitc;al as
sefibiages ever held 10 Petersburg. An at
tractfYe. feature OF the. occasion was tue
presence OF. large number Of ladies', WDo,'
with their escorts, occupied seats IN the
first gallery, which, had been specially EeI?
served for them. Their presence not
only added dignity, but interest to the
occasion, and they gave as close attention 70
the arg uments or the orators as, the yerlest
politicians. Tie. arguments OF Messrs.
Tucker and Kelley were. CLOSE, logical iu-
cid, and unanswerable and the reasons
they gave why the, McCulloch bill SHOULD
stand as the. law OF the State and the hnai
settlement OF the debt question were con-
,yiucing. The enthusiasm Of the vast au-
dience was unbounded, and broke forth IN
loud peals OF applause that fairly SHOOK the
building. At one point OF Mr.. fuckers
vi
would not prove, faithless to their ooil-
ratiops, but would rally TO the sup.
bort OF the honor and credit, OF the
Old Mother Commonwealth, the audience
gave a rousing cheer, and it only needed
leader to make the proposition for niue
cheers for the honor OF the State, and they
would have been given with will. The
peopIe of Petersburg are thoroughly arous-
ed on this question, aud ii the signs DO not
faiithey will give rousing vote against
further reimbursement at the polls in NoVem'
har So. .....r..-. ..--.. -. -
