Elections of the author. copy was requested
for publication. Tac Band played appropri
ate piece of music.
Mr.. MoFFArr, professor of languages in the
Miami University a: Oxford, was then introduced
by Col. Noble, and unclaimed the attention of the
audience in an address of an hours duration.-
We cannot speak O. this Grafton it should be,
and shall content ourselves by saying that It de-
monstrated Professo. Moffat to be original
thinker and philosophical reflector. Its style
and the manner of its delivery was smooth and
pleasant. We understand that it will shortly be
published in pamphlet form, when we hope II may
have extensive circulation.
The Hon. H. w. ELLSWORTH, Commissioner
of the Patent office, at Washington city, being
present was introduced and at tho solicitation of
several gentlemen gave full and familiar des-
cription of the Electro Magnetic Telegraph re-
Gently erected by Professor Morse, between
Washington city and Baltimore. His explana-
ton was SO simple and his illustrations plain
that the opcrations of that heretofore wonderful
thing was understood by all who had the pleasure
In he Of
Mr. Ellsworth paid high compliment to Indiana
He stated that he had visited almost ovcry sec
ton of the Union-cast and west, north and south
! that he had twice visited the Rocky Noun
tnins and had surveyed large amount of the
public lands in the west, and during all his ira
wells he had been looking for place to locate
himself and his family, and that he had determin-
ed to move to this state in the course OF tho en-
suing year. We learned from Mr.. Ellsworth
that he will in short timo remove to Lafayette
in Tippecanoe county.
! Mr.. Ellsworth is a pleasant speaker, and gave
highly interesting account of some OF the Ia
Dor saving machines recently patented
After the Band playing another peco of music,
procession again formed and marched to
to the hotel of MIR. LashIey whore an excellent
dinner had been prepared Of tho good things of
the land. Tho best feeling prevailed, politics
were forgotten. and those assembled met as follow
-ono destiny.
A celebration of tho anniversary Of the same
glorious day was also held near Washington
We had not the pleasure of being present, and
have not learned any thing of tho ceremonies
had there. 1t gotten up by tho Washington
nians and of course conducted on temperance
principles. The day and the cause is worthy of
enthusiasm.
Mossrs. Smith and Parker, addressed thor fell
low citizens at Cambridge on Friday, and at Cen
treve on Saturday last. At tho former place,
they were listened to by crowded audience as
sombled in the large hall of tho seminary. We
were not at Centrevie ON Saturday, but under
stand that considering the very busy of
the year there respectable turn out of the
Wings and few of tho locos.
We are Informed that after Mcssrs. Smith and
Parker left, the locos took possession of the Court
House and listened to speeches from Messrs. Test
and Perkins.
! ErAndy Kennedy stated in his speech in this
place, few weeks since that the wings previous
to the nomination of Mr.. Polk, had prcpa red :,
printed, folded and franked twenty tons of docu-
ments, designed to operate against the election of
Mr.. Van Buren,, and that they were then laying
in Washington city, of no service. We are au-
thorzed by those who know, to say that the state
mcnt is false, utterly and distinctly destitute of
foundation--or as our modest friend of tho JEFF
fersonian would say, mighty ELoSGArIoN Of the
truth.
