! OHIO-MEEriso AT DELAWARE.
On the 10Th instant there was a tremendous rush
of the Democracy Of Delaware says the Ohio States
man, to greet General Cass and Mr. Hsmer. From
the demonstrations tie State il appears hat she is
striving to out do the Key Stone and the Empire
States and bear away the prize banner, which will
be presented by the Democracy of the whole Union
To the State which shall give the largest vote in pro-
portion TO her population, to those sterling Reiubl-
cans Polk and DALLAS Never were the Democracy
of this State more firmly united than at present
The battle cry is, Polk and DALLAS, OREooN and
Texas, ToDp and VIcroRY.
Thousands of the hardy yeomanry there,
full of confidence and resoute in action. The fede
ralsts, fearing the out-pou,ing Of the people, had
taken all pains TO circulate stores that neither Gen.
Cass nor Mr. Hamer would be present, but long since
had they learned to put confidence in the political
dec laralions Of federal coon, they turned out en-
n.asse, truly The crowd great at the place
of speaking that voice seemed capable Of reach
ing Its utmost limits.
Gen. Cass addressed the crowd Of people for near
ly three hours in strain OF eloquence and patriot
| ism seldom equalled, If ever surpassed. Though
| calm, cool anu collected, his periods most
thrillingy eloquent, ard 81 unsurpassing beauty He
opened Dy abiding to his early life in these then
| Western wiids More than half century ago he
became OF the settlers of this great region of the
United States, then only Territorial government.
He spoke Of his trayerslng this portion Of the State,
and penetrating to The Lakes, So, in the late war;
a soldier; and spoke as every one must, of his high
gratlfcation In witnessing It's onward progress to
iliza ton and happiness.
When speaking OF the exertons of the federal par
| ty, from Alexander Hamilton down, to establish
banks aud high tariffs assumption of State debts, &c,
&c, by constructive poioers u the Constitution,
were more forclby struck with the dangerous ten
dencies Of that party Give them rein with loose
structons, and The people would not be safe in their
constitutional rights for year. They would strike
down guarantee after another until all would be
| swallowed up in a despolism of constructive powers
He alluded TO the conscrption Of France which had
been abolished by what they call their constitution
but which had been re-established under the mid
term Of Rscruiting-and quoted with admirable Ell
feet, John q. Adamss doggerel upon Thomas Jefer-
son, viz
"lf we caDrot alter things,
BY Cd we'll change their names, sir"
This is old and modern federalism. true as
when written for they great yet in changing
NAMES but they never alter their principles If there
was phig pr, sent no processes to be Jefersonan
republican, he must either have renounced his party
the spot or returned home sick of his party con-
nections.
His eloquent and somewhat lengthy allusion TO the
conduct of Mr. Clay and his party in their unParal-
leled oppression and persecution of Thomas w.
Dorr produced most thrilling effect After giving
history Of the case, he said the whole annals of the
world could not produce Of equal outrage AND
oppression 1t was lett for Mr. Clay Gen. c. /ead

adhereDts to exhibit themselves the greSfest ty-
rants of the world. He spoke Of Mr. DoEvas a most
smiable and worthy man, who deserved>fhe respect

equal rights and universal suffrage and not the doom
OF the ieion.
On the subject of Texas, and the grasping power
Of England, lie was equally eloquent, argumensuve,
and national IN feeling. He showed up Mr.. Gays
three faces this subject TO the great amusement
of the audience. He exhibited the grasping power
Of Great Britain over the whole world, and espec-
ally in surrounding this Republic all sides, in
7 Oregon now, and striving for Texas. He called
upon his counrymen TO beware in time He show
ed the wings the position they made TO take by
their leaders, the side Of Great Britain and other
European powers who were jealous Of this growing
Republic, and desired to cripple its rising energies
The European powers were against Texas being an
neIed to this Union-Mexco opposed 10 IT, and
the wings were opposed to IT, Thus showing that
the wings were taking part not only against their
own government, but taking sides with foreign gov
ernments.
Mr. Hamer next followed, in powerful speech Of
hours in length holding up the absurdities

In the evening, Mr. BrinkerhoG, the democratic
candidate for Congress, and Mr. Robbins of Marion,

GREAT MEETING OF THE DEMOCRACY AT NEON
sELLsvlLLE--sYMPATB FOR THE PATRIOT
DoRR.
The democracy Of Morgan county had an i'm
mense meeting at McConnelsyile, on the 18th in
stant at which Senator Allen and Col. b. b. Tsy-
lor made speeches. The greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed.
As an evidence Of the feeling which pervades the
country in reference to the whg tyranny exercised
the patriot Dorr, refer the fact that the
ladies adorned the front Of the stand from which the
speakers addressed the people, with beautiful
wreath, placing at equal distances full blown rose
for each STATE except the State Of r. Island which,
instead Of = rose, had suspended from the wreath
piece Of black Grape the sombre sembsnce Of mourn
ing--a mourning caused by the unmerciful DONNA
ton Of whggism in that ill-starrcd State. The his
tory Of the world does not furnish glsring IN
stance Of cruel tyranny and hateful despotsm than
the Imprisonment Of Dorr. And yet Mr.. Clay
and all the wing papers, expressly approve the
course pursued toward him by their wing brethren
Of Rhode Island.
