The 'Whig Meeting S.-The Old
- Spirit aroused.,
The ‘Thig county meeting on Monday
night was - ono - of - the - most enthusiastic roan
ileslations oUpopular feeling which our par
ty has ever exhibited. The highest. color

the proceedings were , lull of life, spirit and

the character of our meeting. The stagnant
feeling which had existed is now fully alma;
'sed, and we confidently predict a majority
of several hundreds *IRVIN, ' , Arms

The speaking,by out friends Ehotsrernantr,
Ecc and ADAIR, was excellent, au,dpartooic
of the enthusiastic spirit of the meeting.—
Their remarks . on the various political topics
were not only pertinent and welllimed, but
glowed with true and fervid eloquence.
We have the‘timony of many who vis.
iced the locoloco meeting,, that the ‘Vhig
meeting exceeded it in numbers by FOUR
