LETTER FROM PITTSBURGH.


PITTSBU EGIf, Sept. u, 1850.
S,ecial Correspondence Of The Freeman.
The .'foppers'' meeting on Saturday
uight was an immense affair. Delega
tjons came in from all the surrounding
connties. and the leading politicians
from the western part of the state were
ouartered early at the Monongahela ana
St. Charles. Green, Fayette, NeSimore-
land. Beaver, Washington, enang0,
Armstrong and Indiana were all repre-
sented. Not one-tenth OF the people
who came could get near the hall. or get
a sigbt at either Butler or wEO ForHey-
arrived on the noon train. and from That
nour until they went to ;he ball, were
busv shaking hands with the curious
crowd. Buffers speech WAS much the
same as that dciVered in the east and
already published. lie speaks IN Il
muffled voice. and cannot he heard any
great distance. yet You would know II

often seen Of him. lie does not speak
from notes. but off hand. and straight
ahead rs fast as he can talk IL. The APP

often interrupts him in the finish OF a
good sentence. lie WAS dressed like a
bridegroom, with swallow tailed coat
white necktic, and button-hOie boquet.
