that the dlttsrouCe bCtTyGa the Two parties

is concerned it made itt,le ference which

was not equally true last fall. lie tlen

Mr.. Stewart charged that the calling Of

that it would have the effect of c'avl'lGg

This announce meht caused the hDpefa. Mr
Cooper 20 elevate his eyebrows AID sQulrm
in hi, chair, but the audience appeared
70 relish it hugely. H3 closed by exh)gt
ing all 70 awake TO the imp0r.aQc3 Of tho
struggle now impending
The Sweet, sweet Lesson Of Love"
| Ia introducing the next speaker Chau
man BrOstus alluded - the DLTlI AID
Jonathan era IN politics that had been
inaugurated, and introduced the golden
haired angel OF reconciliation" Hon
Thomas V. Cooper. That synonym Of
| hOpefulnCss began with the statement tha,
the trst disSenslOns that visited the Rs
publican party were born 10 the campaign
OF 1872, aud that their culmlnatIon had
been reached in the defeat OF the party
last year. He admitted that there did
exist cause for these troubles. Tho
speaker did not come to dispute the views
OF any man, for as sensible meu, We must
deal with the world a. We find Il. After
careful scrutiny Mr. Cooper had discov
cred that John Stewart aud himself
had learned 1.-The sweet, sweet lesson
Of love-" This tatfy was almost t0I
much for some Of his auditors and
considerable laughter was evoked IN
consequence.
The election Of PattIsou, it was claimed,
had lmperlled the principles Of the gov
ernment, and the reason for this astOund
ing assertion was given in the fact that the
executive had insisted on obedience to the
constitutional mandate enjoiling appoc
tionmeut. He bitterly denounced the
alleged coercion of the dear Republican
Senate, and claimed that Robert e.
} Cassidy, as the speaker termed him, was
the cause of all the mischief. Everywhere
contentment was said TO reign within the
party lines, and the absurd claim was
made that the return of Stewart TO the
fold meant that the whole Independent
faction of last year had been harmonlzed
After some more glittering geueraties OF
the same order the speaker closed by
insisting on the necessity of individual
effort in order TO ensure party success.
5 A Mr.. Graybill next arose and in an in
, distinct voice read a series of resolutions a.
the sense OF the meeting, which approve
; the course of the Lancaster county Re.
! publican leg islatOrs on the appOrtOnmcn
question, and denounced with awe -uspir
ing warmth every thing that had it's origir
with the wicked Democrats. The meeting
was then declared adjourned, much TO tn
3 satisfaction of many who were growinG
! somewhat restive under tho lengthenel
! dose of Republican oratOry 10 which thcl
