Two thousand Wings assembled for the pur-

remembered by those who had the good for
tune to be in attendance.

Columbus across to Wheeling and up

we were enabled to judge Of the length OF

WILLIAM DENNIsoN, of Columbus. We
have neither time nor room to go into an ex-
tended synopsis these speeches,nor is it ne
cessary, as our readers were present and
heard them. 1t is simply necessary to say
that they were able and eloquent disquisi-
tions upon the political topics of the day
and gave the highest satisfaction to the au-
dience. More than one Democrat went
away, with the determination to cast his
vote for Scott and Graham.
Messrs. Dennison and Finck are already
known in this community. Mr.. Walker Is
a live Whig OF Montgomery county, who was
caught on his road home from tour OF ser.
vice on the Reserve, and having been noti-
fed that the Scott and Graham men of Old
Fairfield, needed his services for the glorious
ocDasion of yesterday, he promptly acceded
to request to be with us, and has left be-
hind him most favorable impression. He
was compelled to leave last evening to fill
an appointment in the Miami Valley to-
dat, where he is enlisted for the remainder
Of the campaign.
Itwas truly glorious day for the cause in
this county. The numbers in attendance far
exceeded the expectations Of the most SAN
guine and the speeches of the occasion
were among the best we have eve-
listened to. The Wings of the county and
the friends ofScott andGraham are thorough
" aroused, the utmost enthusiasm prevails,
the determination to work on, work ever is
taken firm hold upon the people, and the re-
