"Harry Coon and Harry Clay,
Will very soon be Polked away"

Utpd0W. MS Town sent a large 0elegauon-
Forty seven horsemen preceded the numerous dele
blankets and the names Of Polk and Dallas them.
The last solitary and alone" representing Texas,
coming IN Numerous banners also accompanied
this delegation.
The horsemen passed through the village in order
TO escort the .2hens, CatskiU and Corsaeke delega-
tions who were then within hearing, to the village.
They Ioon returned, and with them the immense
delegations from these three places, making pro-
cesson Of nearly two miles long We also noticed a
number of our Hudson friends who had joined them
before reaching the village. Together they made a
most magnificent appearance. The Catskill Empire
Club, with banners, &C., made grand appearance.
The Democratic Cannon Company also from Cats
kill, told well Tor the young democracy. Upon en-
tering the village they left the procession, withdrew
to retired spot, and assisted the monster guu TO
ticulate Polk.
The banners of these three delegations were beau.
tful ones, and told well Of the spirit with which they
were animated. Success only crown such Ell
forts. The Inscriptions ON some were
"The unbought sons of Greene are We
Democrats of Catskill.
There might be more, but there can't be better.
We come, we come, we come, to conquer"
banner representing an almost starved working
man, (wiih an empty plate before hun, and knife
IN one band and fork IN the other,) exclaiming,
:" Where's that Roast Beef"
Equal and exact justice TO all men, the Shoemakers
as well as the Manufactures"
"No distribution of The public lands.
No assumption OF State debts.

Than vote for Clay and Frelinghuy SEM

that roast beef you promised in 1870"
The democratic States were represented by ban
ners and Rhode Island (shrouded 10 crape) was also
there.
There msny other delegations, which, owing
TO the grea, crowd, prevented us from approaching
near enough TO ascertain their inscriptions. The
Jacksonville Cub, Jefferson Club and Leeds Empire
Club, were there, and the number far exceeded any
county convention heretofore held II is varously
estimated at from 7 10 10000.
At about , O'Clock the convention assembled in a
field where stalking had been erected and was or
ganized by the appointment Of VIM Schuneman, Esq
Salisbury, Judge Van Buren, and Lorenzo Hubbard,
vice presidents; and w. V. b. Hermancc and N
Van Dyck, secretaries.
On motion Of J. D.. Pipckney, Hon. T. Pratt, II.
ID. II. Snyder, and A. Marks were appointed a com
mttee on resolutions
The Convention being fully organized, S. Dubois,
eiq., introduced 10 the convention the Hon Alonzo
G. Paige, who, in bis usual forcbc and impressive
manner defined the position of the parties upon
the great and important issues before the peo-
Pile. He proved the fslsty Of the assertion by the
wings that the democratic party were instrumental
In fastening debt Of 5000 900 upon the people Of
this State and upon the tariff distribution and as.
sumption Of Stale debts he yind cstcd the course of
the democratic party aud showed conciusively that

true one to he pursued for the teres OF the country

protection to all classes OF the community. HIS re
marks were interspersed with wliticisms which kept
the multitude in almost continual roar Of laughter

multitude.
While Mr. ID. was speaking, another staging wa.
erected, and MIR. Dunscomb, OF Undertook address.
ed large and attentive audience. After he had
concluded, X. V. Groat, esq, OF Catskl, addressed
them upon some OF the same subjects, and with much
effect
Hon. r. Mcclellan, Of Hudson, followed Mr.. Da-
WIS at the hrst staging, in some happy, eloquent and
anImstng remarks and as he concluded, the follow
ing resolutions were reported by the committee and
unanimously adopted and the great assemblage adj.
journed.
Whereas, the recent State elections have furnished
the strongest evidence that although false and
corrupt appliances may for season, take captive and
lead asray the people, yet that their serious renec-

them back TO the true path, in pursuing which, there
