CoorgRsrowN, July /, evening.
This has been proud day for The sterling De-
mocracy of Old Oisego They have reason To
thank the Coons for the demonstration al Cherry
Valley. II has walked up the Democracy oil the
county, and instead of repo>ing in the confidence
Of security while their inSidious enemy was at
work upon their ouipoS,S they have rallied out to-
day TO The rescue, and more determined, ener-
yetic, enthusiastic, Irai@ht-out, thoroush-going,
welldisciplned legion of Democrats never buck
led on armor Tor contest The right spirit Is
M in this good old couny-and if the Wings are
MOI beaten here, as they were never beaten be-
fore there is no truth in signs. Rely upon it, OF
seso will put in for the banner, and viii not be
easily diStanced. even by the proudes OF the De
nocratic strong-holdS.
There never was such gathering Wing or
Democratic known in Otscso. The Wing bar
bccnc at Cherry Valley was nothing like i IN
point Of numbers, or in any other respect II Is
conceded BY The more candid Wings here who
We're at Cherry Valley, that this was BY far the
larger meeting. Some Of them say il was even
twice as large-whilst Democrats, who were al
50 present al both, claim that il was greater by
,wo-thrds When say that according 10 Wing
calculations there were 10000 al Cherry Valley,
Democrats al distance may form some estimate
Of the mighty multitude that thronged this village
If there are anv who are inclined to regard
ths<e estimates rs eytravagan, il IS because they
have not witnessed, and therefore cannot realize.
The depth of the feeling that now strs the Demo-
cratic masses ofthe interior They are no, them
selves up 10 CONCERT pitch, and was never more
struck, Than with the contrast which, IN This re-
spect characlerizes the agricultural and the com
mercial portions of the State, high as The tone
may be, and as we know it is at the East. No
Democrat can see it without feeling il and
catching some portion Of the genial heat that
warns and anima;es the hearts OF the Democracy
Of the interior.
II is pretty well aSceranei that there were at
least TWO THOUSAND VEHICLES 81 different fcScfP-
tons here at II W. today, that We're not here IN
rhc morning at dayhreak Some of these brought
in 80, and others u, Is, IL, &c, and none OF
Them less than 3. II will be seen from this, that
10000 is a moderate estimate of the number on
the ground and 'on hand" From an early hour
in the morning, the Democrats began TO pour into
The village in wagons post-coaches carriages
&c.-sometimes in squads OF three or four teams
aud now in large cavalcades OF 100 and more
displaying hckories, flags, and banners, and, in
three or four Instances, bringing their own band
of music--and III many more their wives anu
daughters. Al IL NJ, the principal street was
literally alive with moving mass. A gun on
an eminence, West of the village announced the
approach of the several delegations as they APP
psared in sight over the hills; and upon this the
escort, consisting of two companies of lremen in
uniform embracing the flower OF the young DE.
,nocrats OF the village-proceeded promptly to
marshal them to the general rendezvous, w.
Lewis Eagle Hotel-w6ere they were eheeied as
they came up. And such cheers ! They were
such as Democratic ,hroais and hearts only know
how to give. The admirable manner IN which
this, and, indeed the whole detail OF the arrange

marshal of the day. and his staff, (who were OUT

COMMITTEE, left nothing TO be desired.
