Well-Friday was a'great day in Akron,
At sunrise, two bed-cords were stretched
across Market street, and midway was sus-
pended the ''stars and stripes" >" that .glori-
Gus emblem Of our country's independence I
nov borne aloft so gallantly in Mexico,
but which recently our whig representa-
tive in Congress would vote neither men
nor money to sustain. The ENSIGN OF
FREEDoM!! and displayed as the fore-run-
ner of a whig meeting-'My conscience!!!'
Anon, "Music by the Band'' announced
the approach of Governor Bebb and his
cortege from Massillon--when some three
or four hundred men, women and children
took to the woods and bore with General
Seabury Ford, Of Geauga, for an hour,
whilst he explained t0sAhem that the new
TAX LAW was exactly right-only it want
ed some alteration--and that, the people
could make, at any time, if they would
send the right men to the Legislature.
After dinner, Mr.. Ewing showed the rea-
son why high tariff raised the price Of
goods for the benefit of the Boston manu-
facturer, and lo,oered the price Of the same
goods for the benefit of the consumer in
Ohio. Loud cheering by the whigs.]
He then seemed to soliloquize after this
sort:
"Since in each scheme of life I've failed,
Aud disappointment seems ertailed;
Since all on earth valued most,
Ny guide. my stay Mr. CLAYl is lost;
o, SOLITUDE, now give me rost, -f e
And hush the tempest in my breast. Jf p
.. gently deign to guide m! feet
TO your hermit trodden seat;
Where l may live at last my own,
/
At length Gov. Bebb s'the observed o
all Observers arose and said:
"Gentlemen and Ladies-Fellow citi
zens!! This is the only time save one,
have had the pleasure to address the de.
scendants of the Pilgrims! Ladies! and
Gentlemen-!!! am an abolitionist! and
the wings nominated me for Governor! in
the face and eyes! of my own declarations!
that was an abolitionist! am in favor
of repeal of the black laws of Ohio! al
though much question whether we can!
get majority! Of the General Assembly!
to vote for repeal!!! Ladies!! and Gen
tlemen!!-Fellow Countrymen!! | am a
native born Buckeye! but my parents were
from Wales! in Great Britain!! and hence
| derivemany of my political notions.
"slaves cannot breathe in ENGLAND: if their
lungs
Receive our dir, that moment they are free;
They touch our country. and their shackles fall,
That's noble, and bespcaks nation proud
And jealous of the blessing. Speedit then,
And let it circulate through every vein
is felt, mankind may feel her mercy too"
The Governor then adverted to the pre-
sent banking system Of Ohio, and declared
it to be best of which he had any knowl-
edge. He said there was no individual liza
bility about it, and therein consisted one of
its chief excellencies, for he believed any
man would be q fool to subscribe for bank
stock in small amount, and risk the whole
of his property upon the result. No man,
he said, could make money in that way,
unless he possessed the shrewdness ofa bank
president he had heard of in Summit coun-
ty, who went the whole figure, and took
thirty thousand dollars of stock in one Of
our new banks, which was ten thousand
more than he was worth. This man could
laugh your boasted individual liability
clause to scorn.
In the evening Mr.. John Woods, OUT
present very efficient Auditor Of State, ad
dressed the citizens of,Akr on upon the sub
iect of economy in State expenditures. He
said he was placed by the people to guart
the door of the Treasury, but he could d.
no good there unless the ,cindogs wer,
closed against the Loco-Focos.
He complimented his predecessor, Mr.
John Brough, upon his official integrity
but lamented that he should have been in
duced, during the last Gubernatorial cam
paign, to withdraw from his very respon
sible duties at Columbus and make stumI
speeches i'll behalf of David Tod. Thi
was highly improper, especially in sala
Z ried officer.-- d. ~.
And then the meeting adjourned. M
