The meeting was organized by Mr. Joseph Libbey being called te the Chairand Mr. Henry Craig being appointed Secretary. Mr. Stake offered the following resolutions which were adopted amid muchapplanse: Whereae, at “a public meeting in this town, on the 2d instant, of the friends of Mr. Hill,” certaim resolutions were adopted, and have been published in the National Intelligencer, which are, in Many respects, most grossiv and inexcusably erroneous; therefore, we, cifizens of Georgetown, who are now here assembled d who intend at the ensuing municipal elec- m, fo vote for the “People’s Union Picket,” do eet forth and proclaim as follows: Resolved, That we are loyal citizens of the United States, heartily devoted to the instita- tions of our Goverament, which we are pre- pared to uphold, vindicate, and maintain, in m to All adversaries in, or outside of d States. d, That we have a profound respect for the President of the United States and great admiration for the wisdom, firmness, pa- tience, and fidelity which have illustrated his Administration ami¢gt trials, dangers and em- barrassments more Than ever confronted the executive through all previous administra- tions; and that we will give him all the conn- tenance, aid and sapport which it may be at any time in our power to afford.

Provisions.—Tnhe feature of the week has-been the heavy contracts awarded for packed pork, and beef and bacon shoulders and sides by the commissariat department. Trade requirements continue limited. Coffee.—Since our last weekly review con- tracts have been awarded by the Commissary of Subsistence for 200,000 Ibs. Rio at #40 33 per 100 1bs., 200,000 Ibs. do. at $11, and 561 bags do. at $4012. The decline in gold has checked the trade demand, and the market closes dull and unsettled. Ordinary to prime Rio we quote at 20a214 cents for gold. Steck of Rio in first hands only 5,000 bags, but several invoices held in other markets are offered Candles.—Large awards were made in Balti- more and Western markets tor adamantine candles by the commissariat, at prices ranging | from $33 90a35 per 100 lbs. Other varieties continue in moderate demand at quotations, | viz: Sperm 50 cents, patent 60 cents, and meld | 28a29 cents.

Goy- | errment contracts for 1,000 bbls. were awarded at $1 Hai 39 per bushel, and 6,000 bushels at $1 45a€1 48. Fish —There has been only a moderate job- bing demand during the past week, and no sales from the wharf have transpired. Resolved, That, as owners of property, we have beheld with alarm, and have every rea- son to complain of the wild extravagance and profuse expenditures of our Corporation for some time past, and that we are now feeling the pressure of the enormous debt which has been entailed upon our town, and which is grinding us under burdens which threaten, eventnally, to depreciate our property, crip- ple our resources, and to plunge us into 4 gulf of embarrassments from which noman’s hands Will be able to extricate us. £esolved, That while contemplating these dis- asters, and strongly desiring to avert them, we cannot permit irresponsible and thoughtless ““ward politicians” to make for us delusive expedients and false issues to bewilder the people and impede their march right on in the Toad to retorm. Resolved, That we know Henry Addison, the man who has been twenty years Mayor of the town; that we heartily approve of his able and untiring devotion to the duties of his office; that we thank him for the many measures of his suggestion, which have been so promotive of the best interests of the town, as well as for his successful opposition to measures and propo- sitions which would have been ruinous in their consequences; that, as a politician, we know hint only as a loyal man of the Republican creed, and that po man, or set of men, who has any character to lose, will have the effrontery to deny his identity with the present National poesuaucl or his devotion to the Presi- lent. ‘ Resolved, That while we do not wish to injure Mr. Tiill by any unnecessary expression ot dis- paragement, yet it is due te the occasion, to our interests, and to the elevated and responsible office of Mayor of this town, to say—and we know him well—that he bas never evidenced, by anything that he has ever said or done, even one qualification for that position. Resolved, That a eommittee of three gentlemen be appointed by the chairman of tnis Meeting to present copies of these resolutions to the President of the United States and to the Hon. Postmaster General. Mr. Addison introduced Major Hamlin, of the army, (son of the Vice President) to the meeting, and he proceeded to speak in terms of i Warm appreciation of the character of Mr. Addison. He had conducted the affairs of the town in such amanner thatno argument was required, and Mr. Addison’s reputation for | integrity, honesty and thorough loyalty is not enly proverbial in the District, but it was knows throughout the country. He telt sorry that the opponente of Mr. Addison had made charges against him which they know to be false. There was not & man in the period which Mr. A. had filled as Mayor of the town, either President or representative, but who regarded him as a thorough Union man. May. Hamlin closed by proposing three cheers for “the Union, Constitution, and Henry Addi- son,” which were given with a will. Mr. Stake bere came forward and read the editorial in a Washington paper of yesterday or the Georgetown Mayoraity, and he charged | that that portion which spoke of the friends of Mr. Addison as being disloyal, was false. The article stated that“Mr. Hill had been identi- fled with the interests of the town for many years,” but he (Mr. S.) wished to state that Mr. Hill some time since stated to him that he (Mr. Hill) bad bat little interest m the town, his business being in the city. As forthe quali- lications of Mr. Hill for filling the office, he cid not think be possessed any Copies of the | parer from which he quoted had been spread | over the town broadcast, but it would do Mr. Hill no good. Mr. Stake closed by stating that Mr. Addison had defeated propositions which would have | been the ruin of the town Mr. James J. Kane made a short address in which he stated tpat it seemed the Union | Leaguers wanted Mr. Addison to be Mayor, or | they would have nominated another mar than Mr. Hill, who had no earthly chance. Capt. James Goddard tollowed, stating that by his action at the first meeting he had become the special object of attack, and it had been said that Be had been the President of the McClellan Club. He acknowledged it but de- nied that he was a disloyal man: avd contend. | ed that the Democrats were loyal. He denied | that there had been any collusion between the triends of Mr. Addison and the Democrats, and he (Capt. G.) had not spoken with Mr. Addison for two years, Mr. Craig here came forward and stated that when the other party charged the triends of Mr. Addison with being disloyal they should Jook sharp that the same charge did not attach ‘ves, He had heard that one of Mr. UO tMeuiecs+ ~~ —- ‘Wechineton to Hill's friends had gone ever w +w———.- solicit a gentleman who was known to be an- tagonistical to the Government, to come over and speak at the Hill meeting on Saturday nigbt. and he asked where was there con- spiracy! Mr. W. J. Geary followed Mr. Craig, and stated that a prominent gentleman of the town bad three times comeover to seehim and asked him to make @ speech advocating the claims of Mir. Hill at the meeting on Saturday night, and be was ready to make an affidavit to the trath of the statement. Old Abe once said it was “a bad time to swap horses while crossing a stream,” and he thought it would be a bad wme for the people of the town toswap Mayors. Mayor Addison was called on and stated that they had all heard of two men—George Hull and Old Addison. The opposite party had re- sorted to mean, low and contemptible devices to defeat him, but their acts wonld be felt by themselves. He had been Mayor for 20 years, and he knew the people of the town and did | not believe they were tired ofhim. Ifthey could | not get & betier man than (jeorge Hill, Jr., they | would mever get rid of Old Addison. God for- bid that they should have any such man as George Hill, Jr., who had slandered and vill- fled him. He predicted that when the ballot- box was open Hill will think that there has been some spiritualism abont it, thera will ba fo teow Hill tickets Laughter and applause } After cheering the candidates the meeting adjourned to meet to-nicht attne corner ot Gay- and High s'reets.

Adjourned. Common Council.—Present, Messrs. English, Olements, Collins, Cragin, E. Shoemaker, psed Grain.— Offerings at the Corn Exchange since Friday last, though moderate, have been beavier than during the six or seven previous Wweeke, and with the exception of wheat, which | rules steady, all varies have declined. Flour.—During the five previous days of the past week there has been comparatively no g@emand tor shipment, and the inquiry trom the trade has been restricted to good and choice brands of super flour, the supply of which is moderate. Teas—No improvement to notice in the de- mand, and the market exhibits some heaviness under the decline in gold. Cotton._The lower grades are heavy. Ordi- nary upland and gulf we quote at 70 cents, middling at £3 cents, and middling fair at 92 cents. §& Tobacco.—Iuspections of leaf tobacco during the past week have been extremely light, but owing to the heaviness of gold and sterling the market has been much unsettled and closes very dull. Molasses.—{n the absence of sales nominal | quotations only are given. | Wool.—Prices have been maintained, though the demand continues moderate. Whisky.—No transactions of importance in raw whisky have been made public since Sat- urday last, and the market has shown some heaviness. Petroleum —During the past week receipts have been unimportant, the Government hav- ing t.ken up the trinsportation on the Penn- sylvania railroads, and with some inquiry, prices close very unsettled. FrxanciaL.—From yesterday’s New York Commercial: Goid stood steady at about 200, singularly Withetanding the tendency of successlve acbieyements on the coast to put down the price. The news of the fall of Wilmington, received this morning, hadno appreciable effect Upon the price.

Private telegrams from New York, received last even- ing, state that trade in the afternoon was brisk and prices firmer—showing that the late trade sale in this city has established a basis of value for goods, and given to the marketa strength and tone which, for the last few months, the mercantile community has been vainly seeking. The event will prove that the late sale has been ofinculcnlable benefit to Boston, as well too in its social as in its commercial relations; for it has attracted to us a great number ofemi- nent merchants, who, if they speak sincerely, will be glad to visit Boston again, not for busi- ness merely bat to enjoy her hospitality and be- come better acquainted with her institutions The proceeds of the sale were $3,000,000.—Bos- ton Journal. {0 The tunnel under the lake at Chicago is making very rapid progress.
