Great Taylor Whig bfseti~g in the Scioto Valley
-Auothsr at Lancaster, Distimgw'shed
Speoku,-T The Fseii~g Of the People aroused
The Tendency of 7hi~gs, asd probable result.
On Friday last visited Circleville, twenty five
miles south of this, and situated nearly central in
the great Scioto valley. 1t was the day of wing
meeting-of Taylor whigs-and must say that it
was by far the most spirited and enthusiastic, as
well as the largest in numbers, of any assemblage
I have witnessed since the campaign opened
The day was fine, having rained the day previous,
cooled the air and laid the dust Hundreds were
present from the adjoining counties OF the valley,
with bands OF music and great display OF BAN
ners and flags Besides the numerous flags dis
played at the doors and windows of the public
houses, and OF the private residences OF the wing
citizens, there were four street banners stretched
across the four principal streets, bearing the
mottos OF Nothing to serve but my country-I:
Taylor" "Tayor, Fillmore, Ford, and Edwards"
Stand by the Constltution-Down with Revou-
ton;'' "The will of the people ought to be respect
ed and carrie d out" The different squads Of pro-
cessions, as they entered town, were all arrayed
into one In most admirable order by the chief
maj shall and his ASSISTANTS and when the grand
procession moved of to the grove on the banks of
the ScIoto, the line Of vehicles and horsemen was
fully mile in length. In the grove splendid
iIte dinner had been provided by the wings of
Pickaway county, The tables covered nearly
an acre of ground, and were loaded with an
abundance of the good things for which the valley
Is famed.
The multitude were addressed In the course of
the day by Col. A. M. Mitchell, one OF the heroes
of Monterey; and by Captain Cutter, OF Kentucky,
who fought with old lack at Buena Vista; also,
by Henry Stanberry, Esq, the Attorney General
of Ohio ; and by Hon. T. o. Edwards, the present
representative In Congress, and whIg nominee for
reelection, for this district
From all could learn, Judge that Gen. Taylor
will get as large vote In this section of Ohio as
Henry Clay did In "A, or as he could have got In
lie present campaign.
On Saturday, wing meeting was held at Lam
Congressional district The same spe akers at
and yet greater IN numbers, although largely de-
mocratlc county.
The facts have gathered at this great meeting
OF the wings of the Scloto valley. together with
those which reach me daily from other parts of
the State, Indicate that the current of public sentl-
ment is fast running into the old channels, and
that while the democrats will, almost to man,
cast their votes Tor Cass and Butler, the wings will
pretty generally unite the support of Taylor and
Fillmore. The fact Is, every man has second
choice in the list of candidates and few men are
willing to cast their vote for their first choice,
merely for the sake of expressing that choice with
out the hope OF success, when, by voting their al
tentative choice, they may expect to succeed.
election would be no certain crlteren by which to
Judge the Presidential election in November. But,
taking the view just expressed, 1t is apparent that
II Will result in strict party vote, and that the
suit OF the vote for Governor will indicate the vote
