I THE OBEAT HAIUtOAD KEhTIXG. t It trill b« recollectvd.by our reader*. thato t two week* ng» we refered to u railroad j , Meeting, to be held at the Court House, on j , the IStb inst- a* announced by handbill-. f tomc hnqoreds or thousand* of whirh had : , been circulated. broadcast. through this j f county noil Atlantic, from — nobody seemed. I j to know whom qr where. Well, the a for'- ^ raid great meeting did really couie off. and ( our cxjH-ctutions, a« intimated iatbo a»-U tide aforesaid, were folly n-ulixsd. Wc j supposed that it wna the last expiring gasp . . of opposition of a certain ••Indivjdaal.'' in I j • connection with the Atlantic .City fnterest. ( to a Kailroad to t'a|«! May, and the beat j ( intereita of our county. And »o It etiden- | tly wn* ; and a very faint gasp it proved to be, and any one who witnessed it, tnast ■ , have been aatisBed that it can never been iln-', nor kick again. Well ' pence to ita nines.' "j i But perhaps we ouptit to make a little!, explanation here. We hare noticed above ( a* weli as heretofore, a certain "individ- | ■al" Now there is a cer ain "individual, somewhat noted in thia county, whose nuni" for reasons of onr own. we seldom use, *di- j ! toriaWy, n our columns; nod that the pub- i ■ licjnay Wit be, in thednrk as to the imli- : s v (duality of said -individual." we will fay j that he is not very high of stntare, and not [ quitt so broad as ho is long, bat rather bor. ; ilering on that proportion ; and, some ; years ago, was well known tbronglioul the i county, as a pedestrian, portable merchant, , wbo accomodated the ladies from houio tot house wilh sundry oolioua, and, subscqnmit ly, has been known in other oapqciii-* , hut, more recently, as a very rklen*iv<\ 1 "praueticul railroad mt.nn." Perliujui tlto ' reader will need no farther descriptnpi, but ; t lest there should bo sornu doubt, we will j farther add, tbnt his phis is not lilly t white, j nor yet i|uite beet red ; whether from rx- i posuru to the weather, during u long sea j voyage from his native *"euunthry," or some i other cause, we ure not now prepared /io ; say. ' Hut to onr au» jecl. At the appointed lint" doag went the Court House hell ; arid. lo \ from all quarters, came the people, until. • t the opening ur llui.iuer.tinc. there were, j nil told, Iho ruormous number of fortyeight. besides six' or eight who entera l sob- j eequenlly ; being, we should judge, m least ono to every hundred handbills cir- ' s minted, including your humble scribe, i Booh ou enormous gathering is a sublimit comment on the good sense of our people ; I that' isgof tboiie who staid at home. Finally, after some hesitation and delay. ! Uso. L Ludlum called the meeting lo or- 1 der, when N. A Wensell was Called. to the | chair; and tint* (irganixed, wu . were ready > for the speeches] with Big anticipations,! from the announcement of the handbill*^ and the. remarks we heard dropped before the meeting, that three lawyers were In be among the speakers. All**thilig» being qow ready, tho chair . introduced ilia first speaker as Mr. McMullin Jisq . if we *remember uright; al any rate lh« M was a Mic | I or Mac and an' K#q. lo it, which wurw th* ; ino-t important |mrts,.aiid we will leave the • reader to fill the deficiency. About the speaker's personal appearance there was j nothing | cculinrly strikin.', except a beun- j tiTnl moustache, which he gracefully twis- | ted, and a peculiarly health} r, ruddy cnur.tr- ' momcc. it least, in'spol*. As a speaker he j was evidently quite as qydl stocked with | swlf-asserance, sonort urn ess of vnicn and j rwrboeity, as with a knowledge of Kn»li*b j grammar or the subject of railroads,* rr good sense. U» wtut exceedingly eloquent , , that is. jfi gesticulation and slapping of his ' haCds. , l|o Ki.-l.u* that they wanted to| know w*hai tro people of Cape May and j I Atlantic proposed to do. ami wliat tiny ! wanted of them, - and that if tbey wet* J ready to take hold of the work.

He informe^ us that there were , plenty -of men in Philadelphia who want to j advance their capital' in' lb# enterprise, j when th« people decide to put forth their • energies. Hut wo conno'. undertake even « ' synopsis of Ibis speech, which contin'fed. I we should think, at least ten minutes; hut! ■ the most important part, to lis, was the .

Well, we suppose I . there l». if this speaker was properly IntroI doced, hut ifial is about nil wo know of ' ; or should ever b arn l«y listeuiny ti»-^ I his speech, oreven fare to learn. In per- , sural appearance there was .nothing strif;4 lug. and ww en« only ery flmt »boufd i j him to be quite geuteelvmild, tnode-t ami unassuming ; and the ssme character- j istics are uot very iuapplicable to h>» ] j spegch, which consisted, as near as *« con j I rvccollect, of ubout ten sentence* ami uiuu ! l„ng —a, nud t'.e graceful whirling of a j C»pe M.ay diamond in his mnulh, which, 1 probably, may oceount for the most "irapor5 tant parts of his nddr-ss, the i i This s|H-aker, like the first, was to ; advance capital, though he didn't know ; much about Kailrgads, frwdl his own con- ! fessiot, and, uk any wue might judge who • ; heard him. Hcfore closing -bis adJre->si : . a bicb occupied about five minute*, iaclu- [ I d,u(» -s.'hs said he wanted to hrur ' some or.o speak uu jhe subject, who was . better posted than himself, (an exceedingly i sensible remarketed fyiuliy called wpon | Mr.— well, never Wlimd — llu called Upon i j "another iudiridual'' a description of whom ; we hare given before, who. with a "boujd" ' and majestic step, took the stand : hut, to j attempt even a faint outline .of h;s speech would be presumption. vWd couldn't poit ray on pape'e the pcculiajlg cluuqutht voice j with which it was uttered, nor could wu . give any. idea of tlm velocity ' with which thought tiow-eilpanlvss soirto one will furn-i-h u- with a cut of u streak nfJiglitning, ; occa«Monnlly "fetching up" against a stoheI I fence ; whan, we uu p poseT<h3^fea ko_r Laii 1 forghtlciL h>a lesson.
