All the speakers landed the Democratic party, and bitterly denounced the AYhigs and Know Nothings. a large portion of those present wore oppscd to llit! object of the meeting, and accordingly, when the meeting adjourned, a countermeeting was quietly organised, and was addressed bv Captain Cutter, of Kentucky, and Captain Oarrington, of this city, ^lhe crowd was as large at the last as at tbc m«»i, and after adjourning to meet again next Tuesday evening, the vast assemblage quietly retiered.

And lie concludes this illnatured document with saying "that those who knew him best would dohini the justice to allow that 110 office of honor in the power of the Crown to bestow, would ever influence him to forget or lie?:lect. the duty he owed his country, nor the most furious rage of tho most intemperate zealots induce him to swerve from the duty he owed His Majesty."
