A Good Time.

The Club Meeting of the Republicans, on
Saturday evening last, was grand affair; being
in addition to its regular exercises, the occasion
of the presentation of the banner gotten up by
the Ladies of Kenosha, for the Club.
At an early hour the Court room was filed
the "better half" perhaps of the audience, com
prising ladies'
Judge Jilsun brought in the flag furled on its
staff and unrolled it behind the Presidents
chair, when it was greeted with applause. The
flag is beautifully wrought on blue silk, and de-
signed with much skill. Anon the moro promi-
nent devices and inscriptions is the American
Eagle bearing aloft Liberty and Union: Ere
mont and Dayton" with the signifca mt motto,
BY this sign we conquer" Thirty two stars,
representing the states of the Union, including
Kansas, the latter being draped in the habila-
ments of mourning. con the fourth of Novem-
Der next, Kansas viii put off her meurning,dress
and appear in the bright robes of fir eedom.) Mis-
souri, is represented on the flag, having one
bright and luminous coener, indicating the dis
trict recently triumphant in the election of Blair
South Carolina, which glories in her assassin re-
preventative Brooks, is indicated by dark
star. In short, the various devices were highly
significant, appropriate, and reflected much
credit upon the designers.
Rev. Mr.. CHAPLIN, in behalf of the Ladies,
made the presentation speech, which was SO
felicous and well adapted to the occasion, and
was interviewer with illusions SO neat and APP
propriate, with others so strong and forcible in
explanation of the interest felt by the Ladies in
this cause, that we thought the delicate apprs-
citation and tact of some lady must have assist
ed his own good Judgment, in framing it. MFR.
Chaplin concluded amid the applause of the
audience.
MIR. LOWELL, the President of the Club, re-
turned the grateful and heartfelt thanks of the
Club for this most cheering and encouraging
evidence of warm sympathy for their efforts
from that part of the community, whose sane
ton of u cause is the very best evidence that il
ought to succeed and whose encouragement and
sympathy is the very best assurance that il will
succeed. Mr.. Lowell made brief speech an.
propriate to the occasion, received the banno,
as thereafter the property of the Club, and sa,
down amid the applause of the crowd
WM. p. LYON, Esq, of Racine, then made
the speech of the evening We need not speak
of it at length, as nearly every person was there
to hear it and the excellent attention, broken
only by the applause of the audience is the best
testimony as to its merits. Mr.. Lyon paid an
eloquent tribute to his personal and political
friend Judge POTTER, the Republican candi,
date for Congress in this district, which brsupbt
down the house Mr.. Lyon has the thanks Of
the Club and of all his hearers Hon. j. ALLEN
BARBER, of Grant county. happening to be
present was called cut, and made a brief and ex.
cellent speech.
Feeling as We do, an absorbing interest in this
cause, and occupying as we do, position which
enables us to speak to, if not for, multitudes in
addition to what was said ON occasion of Tho
meeting we wish to return again to the I.ad;ss
thanks, which words are but a poor NADINE, o.
express tor their interest and sympathy TINS
manifested in this cause. Tho cause. in mi.
City, feurishing as it was, and successful a. :,
promised TO be, has received q new vitality and
new impetus from this well thought of and wal,
timed expression on their part. The ms,
says
~ot all the trophies that vain mostals boast,

F0iVing as 1t does, the hopes the prosperity. the

heart how much more shall we who more inn.

battle for Its triumph, than if it were only ,h..
personal conquest which the poet puts at tbo
head OF human ambition and makes its chiefsst

Tins flag shall be our sacred orihamme in this

we shall be reminded that it came from weman's
