DauPhin. She was represented by ele
uen hundred of her intelligent and hardy
sons. There were also delegates from
Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio and Missis
slppi. One of the banners bore this
"Ohio and Kentucky are here, For bette,
times.''
The front part of the procession reach.
ed the field before o'clock, but it was
sometime after when the close of il
came in, and the city was filled with thou.
sands that did not 60 into procession, in
consequence of the continual rain and
deep mud. The Committee of Arrange.
ment announced the Hon. JOHN SER
GEANT as President, together with eigh,
Vice Presidents, (FHomAs ELDER, Esq,
of Harrisburg being onei and several Sec
retaries. .r ...s .-... .. .....
On appearing, Mr. Sergeant was greet
ed with deafening cheers, and made an
able and happy address, which was re-
ceived with great applause. The multi
tude were also addressed by the Buckeye
Blacksmith, the Hon. w. Cost Johnson,
of Maryland. and Gov. Call of Florida:
all of whom were enthusiastically ap-
plauded. At the same time, Mr. Stevens
was addressing a great crowd in the city,
who had not gone out to the ground. In
the evening, although thousands had left,
public address es were made in the Court
House. and in Market Square, by Messrs
Naylor, Sergeant, Montgomery, Grund,
Morris, Call, Smith, the Buckeye Black
smith, Mr. Bear, and others, which was
kept up till 2 o'clock in the morning. On
Saturday, the scene of animation still con-
tinued, as thousands departed for their
homes. The weather was clear and de-
lightful, and those that had waded through
mud and rain the day before, seemed ami
mated with new delight at the prospect of
a pleasant return. <-5
We neglected to mention at the COM

were made in the Court house and in the
Market Square, on Thursday evening pre-.

With the exception Of the injuries re-
ceived by some of the delegates from the
brutal attacks of DULLES and rutfians set
on them from the railroad, all things pass
ed off admirably, and to the satisfaction of
every one ..-a sd. .- ... .-..
We should add, that the procession was
greeted along its whole lines. as it passed
through the city, by the smiles Of well
come, cheers and the waving of handker-
chiefs of the Ladies, who crowded every
window and balcony and footstep where
they were out Of the reach of the storm.
Their enthusiasm seemed unsurpassed,
and from the array of beauty we should
think that the ladies of Lancaster were
unanimously for Harrison. .. 80.

"VIOLENCE-POSSIBLY CIVIL
-l5..-- IT,. WAR;" rs
In the Globe of recent date, we find
the following article which demands more
than passing notice:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CIVIL
WAR CAN ONLY BE PREVENT
ED BY THE FAIR ARBITRATION
OF THE POLLS; AND II MUST
BE KNOWN TO BE FAIR"
When we reflect that this threat ema-
mates from the organ Of Mr. Van Buren,.
one of the candidates in the contest refer
red to. and must of course be considered
as rc-echo of his personal sentiments,
we cannot find language sufficiently strong
to condemn the parricidal course which
he has assumed. 1t is not the first time
that this desperate advocate of the federal
Executive, has made similar incendiary
illusions and malignant threats: we have
heard from it, that the cause of Van Bu-
rem must be successful, or RIVERS OF
BLOOD WILL FLOW; we have seen
the friends of Van Buren, appealed tc, not
as the citizens Of arepublic, where the
civil law is supreme over the military, but
in the most violent language, and i'll terms
all lending to excite and inaame the most
angry feelings of mans nature, it has no
appeal to reason. but all to the passions.
The attempt has been studied on the part
of the Globe to veil the true issue Of the
pending contest, and hide the deformity
of the cause it supports, by diverting at
tention on subjects Of a more exciting ma.
ture, but which are totally unconnected
with the true questions before the nation.
1t is not however, to the general tone
of the Globe, that our remarks are now
directed, but to that dangerous and anti.
democratic tendency evinced in these re-
pea,ed appeals to violence, and their con-
sequent results. In former political con-
tests-durinr the widest party excite
