the enjoyment by singing some fine national
songs. A public dinner. prepared by the
ladies was served upin ine style-enoagh
to satisfy all, and leave several baskets Of
fragments. An old bachelor friend who
was present informs us that greater dis
play Of 'bright eyes and lovely faces" was
never Witnessed in Meigs countys We
should say more Of this celebration had we
room. Perhaps some of those who attend
ed will send us the particulars.
In Salem, another old-time celebration
took place. The number present has been
estimated at 1900 to 1900. Speeches
were made by Henry F. Miller, Of Chester.
Rev. Mr.. Roe, Of Gallipolis, and James L.
Eakin, Of Kygerville. Everything passed
of in fine style. We shall probably receive
an account Of the doings from some one
who was present, in time for our next paper.
In sHether column may be found an ac-
count of celebration in the Flat Woods.
We understand that ball took place in
Chester in the evening.
We regret to say that very little was done
by the citizens Of Pomeroy. The stores
were kept open all day, business going on as
usual. This is not as It should be. But we
shall not scold them now. At the proper
time (previous to the next 4th Of July) We
intend to stir up their minds by way Of re-
membrance. (If we should forget it, some
body will please put flea in our ear.) We
do not intend to allow another National
anniversary to pass without some prepara-
ton for celebration in Pomeroy, if we
can help it. If we cannot stir the citizens
up to do something, we can at least say
something sharp.
| In Middleport, we understand there was
quite fine Sabbath school celebration

OPPos1TroN PLATFORM. Our young friend
Of the Democrat makes some rather singular
blunders in his last number. He is excusa
ble, however; having, as we conclude, pait
but little attention to politics of late. w,
have no doubt Of his sincerity; and there
fore, desire to set him right SO that lie may
hereafter write understandingly.
| 1. The Cleveland Platform" as h
terms it, is not, properly speaking, the "0p
position Platform" but, simply the platform
of society called Rnov Something's.
contains many things, however, which W
approve and endorse, and which we hop
} may be incorporated into the Republican
platform.
2. The Cleveland meeting did not pur
port to be the seeding portion Of the Phil
adelphia Convention, nor was it such in fac
1t purported to be, and was in fact nothin
more nor less than National Convention {
the society Of Know Somethings--an orde
which had nothing to do with the philadel
phia X. N. Convention.
8. The Republican or Opposition platforl
is that which was adopted by the Anti-Ne
braska State Convention held in Coiumbr
on the 18th Of July, 1854. The Convel
ton Of next Friday may modify it somewha
but will not materially alter the meaning
u those resolutions. In the meantime, "
see no harm in our neighbor practising
: little (just to keep his hand in) on tn
Cleveland platform. Should he succeed
, demolishing that, to his entire satisfaction
. he will be all the better prepared to comb
. the REAL Opposition platform, which '
70 expect to publish in week or two. He
- likely to have his hands full.
