The procession then headed by the German com

city y returned TO Columbus The roads were dusty
aud man crossed at the ford yet by Wing count,
we understand there were 500 persons ia the
procession il crossed the bridge. Alter marching
through the principal streets, Governor Cass, Mr.
Hamer and Mr. Melville were escorted To the Anne
rican Hotel, where quarters had been assigned
them.
In casting our eye over the procession, and seeing
the disconsOale look Of our coon friends, Tor the
first time we were struck with the full force oil tue
EXPRESSION " terrible army with banners
To whggery il was terrific sight, TO see the ban
ners of the democracy in the field, supported by those
who never quail--who maintain their principles only
from stern conviction of duty alike TO their country
and their God. AS we saw the waving branches oil
the nnumerable young hickories, interspersed WIN
the banners we thought of Byram rood coming 10

Between the hours of and o'clock, the speaking
commenced in the State house yard, from s'ahd
erected for that purpose. Gov Cass, upon being In
troduced 10 the assemblage, addressed them IN

do him Justice, and hence we will not make the at

and were listened to with the most profound alien
| ton. AS speaker he is truly eloquent-his voice
loud and clear-and has 1t been our fortune TO
hear closer or more logical reasoning, or better

Gov Cass was followed by Mr.. Gansevoort Mel

sustained the high reputation which had preceded

and certainly no superior. With the lmpetuosity OF

AT he conclu son of his speech, Mr.. M. proclaim

cene of the great State OF the great West amid her
sturdy democracy, he invited them To friendly con-

You have accepted the challenge, said Mr. Mel

Democracy there assembled what have dared to do
10 their name and will tell them too, of the fixed

IN this contest, will have struggle for IT, Her
are in the field with Sas Wr ght at their head, and
he would tell the Democracy of Ohio, that If they
gave larger majority than New York, they would
. deserve immortal honor.
Mr. HAMER then took the stand The sun al

After the torch light procession was over, the De-

State House Yard where they were addressed by +

Cincinnati. Upon taking the stand, Mr. Buchanan
referred to the challenge given by Mr.. Melville that

Mr. Buchanan sand he had been somewhat famous in
