ENAGGERATION.


The Jrhir SAYS that the Harrison meeting which took
place last Saturday ct the Court House, was cramncd
and hundreds compelled to remain outside. The
number present Says the Whg) sis vaousy estimated
at from 500 COO We do not know by what ndard
the various estimates alluded to by the Wing made
or what he means by the word crammed. We pre-
senthad difficulty in getting in at the door, out at
the door-and found deficiency of elbow room while
there We do not profess to be adept at making est
mates neither given much to guessing. If We
were disposed guess at ALL should guess that the
number present at any time during the meeting did
not exceed three hundred and fifty persons IF there
were any who remained outside of the Court House. it
must have been from choice; for there want Of
room insde.-Cincinnati Republican.
TIE HARRISON MEETING AGAIS.-In our yesterdays

upon the wings OF yanie: Judge Wright, distinguished
for his attack years since upon John Randolph upon
which occasion the Roanoke statesman scarcely LETT

We look upon this meeting as the last effort Of the
Wing party to get up a feeling in Cincinnati, in favor Of
Gen Harrison It the last flicker of the Harrison
tusight in this quarter. We say it more in sorrow than
in anger for is mournu to reflect upon the wreck of
