[ TIE COON FANDANGO ON YESTERDAY
A MOST LAMENTABLE FAILURE COON
ERY DEAD DEADM DEAD!!! IN OHlOll!
Yesterday, the day Of the great coon gathering thai
was to be- at the Capital OF the State was one o: the
most aEGal, to use common expiessch f1zlss 09t
we ever heard Of Take away The women, children
babies and coons, and it was, ina mGnner nothing
The democrats can gather as many COers iegelher al
the sound of the horn any time. The procession, in
Guiding foot people and on horse back contained 557
voters 426 women besides many children, andno small
portion oil them babies at the breast. There were also
3 dead cock chickens-4 live coons, and one live pule
and 1856 vehicles OF all kinds They were all counted
by several asthey passed the Courthouse The far
mers and working people seemed TO be absent-it was
collection OF managers without the rank and file
Ewing Corwin, MORDECAI BARTL4SY, Storer
Bebb &c. were all congegated here TO tell the story Of
their mighty labors But most fatal day 1t is the last
| Of coonery in this quarter OF The State. The news
brought by these leaders must have been OF the buest
kind Judging from the long faces about town, 10 say
| nothing Of the failure here
BARLEY should not show himself he makes votes for
Tod by scores He had better wrap himself up in lot
4 of COFFIN HANDBILLS, and lay himself away.
Bebb we are told made the only speech worth hearing
Corwn and Ewing the dregs of lost ambition;
they are on the last plank and will soon sink to be
| known no more
The day was made up of some curious incidents.
Names were continually brought lc us of wings
who disguised renonnced their party. One OF these
Mr. Montgomery, of Clinton township son of rev.
outionary soldier but who had always been bitter
whig, openly denounced them, he told as, torevcr
The young Niitchells, alffedged merchants got up
painting fold Ezekiel Polk, grandiatherof James K
Polk, as tory deeing from his country, &C. &c.
No socner did Mr. Montgomery see it, than he thought
OF his own sire, Who like ID Ezekiel Polk was noble
friend Of that revolution, and he Instantly and forever
deserted such base slandeers of the great The good the
noble, and the dead The outburst Of feeling was so
great that the young greehhorns began taking their libel
indoors when the democrats offered twenty dollars TO
Jet it be where the indignant ntcrowd could seeit.
One Of the delegates from Chillicothe openly denoun-
ced BARTLEY, and gave gre4t PAIN 10 the eoons
who were trying to pacfy him.
One of those from Knox county came in our Office
this morning and got the acts in relation to Clays
Bankrupt votes his late etters &c. &c. He wanted to
read them to his neighbors. He had examined the
Congressional Journals on the Bankrupt law, and be-
came satisfied of the correctness OF the votes as given in
the Statesman.
A gentleman from Union comfy came in this morn
ing also He asked for good democratic documents.
Said he was for Harrison in 1910, but can't vote for
Clay. He thought Polk the best man, but had not made
made up his mind fully. He condemned, strongly, the
speeches in the Clay Club-H House last night.
These are few items merely, but there seemed to
be but one continued stream of men who are sick of
coonery, and will not vote longer with Them.
Ii was glorious day Tor the democrats, and gloom
one for the coons. Democrats! push on the work. All
is well.--a glorious victory is ahead!
