j who seemed moved by an earnest desire to hear
j what their county men, Messrs. Wright and

j After the meeting was organized, Col. Wright
| proceeded to address the people In that por
tion of his speech which we had the pleasure
of hearing, lie cohdeinned in unmeasured
certain resolutions ami listening to ad
dresses from our fellow townsmen, Col W .
F. Wright and lion. Hugh Buchanan, on
the great issues of the day.
On motion of A. D. Fieeman Esq., the

transaction of business the meeting adjourned.
Towards night it was thought proper to have
a torch-light procession, but owing to the brief
intervening space notice of the resolve was not
general. However, about 8 1-2 o’clock all the
business houses of the city were illuminated,
and the people in large numbers collected in
