The Nevada Democrat., 1856-10-22

States northwest of the Ohio, formed out of the
generous bequest of Virginia, with generous
hearts seem determined to remember the noble
conduct of 'Old Dominion, and to stand by her
in the struggle for equal rights For that is
now the true issue the equal rights of the States
of the Union. They know no contest between
the North and the South, but standing close by
the constitution the Union, and that great first
principle which lies at the foundation of BOTH
State equality, they are resolved to rebuke the
spirit of fanaticism which would outrage them
all.
WESTERN Pennsylvania.
A great democratic gathering was held at
Pittsburg on the 10th of last month The Pitts
burg Union, of the l1th, says:
"Our great mass convention in this city came
off yesterday, and we cannot attempt to describe
amid the dn dust, and confusion still around
us, the numbers and enthusiastic feelings of the
thousands that were in attendance. AT very
moderate estimate, we set it down that there
were not less than twenty thousand people on
the convention ground. The heat of the day
and the clouds of dust flying having rendered
it uncomfortable to march in procession, the
great proportion of the people proceeded to the
private conveyanccs, but Notwithstanding all
this, the procession was grand and imposing.
PENNSYLVANIA WILL DO HER DUTY.
Before the election in Maine was held, an in
telligent citizen of Philadelphia wrote as follows
to the editor of the Portland Argus:
awe expect to lose Maine. doubt if you
appreciate sufficiently there the one terrible
truth that the election Of Fremont as, per se tie dis
solution Of the Union. 1t would not merely en-
danger the Union and leave it doubtful, but this
question is now as distinctly before the people
as if union or disunion was upon their ballots.
In order to elect Fremont, he must receive 149
northern electoral votes In that event the out
lawry of the southern States proclaimed by the
sectional convention at Philadelphia will have
been confirmed by the northern people, and
political geographical division will have been
accomplished The rest would speedily follow.
But, thanks to the steady character of the peo-
pie of this good old State, they are destined, as
| firmly believe, to ward off the danger. FIRE.
mont is comparatively so weak that no attempt
has yet been made to form black republican
electoral ticket here. The Americans have
formed Fillmore ticket, and the black rcpub
licans are endeavoring to make an arrangement
with them; but the attempt, venture to say,
will prove vain. But whether they unite or
whether they divide, the result will be the same.
Along the frontier counties of the State, border
ing on Maryland and Virginia, which would
probably be the border counties in case of dis
union, very great changes have taken place in
our favor"
OHIO IN A BLAZE !-TwENTY-FTvE THOUSAND DEMO
GRATIS IN COUNCIL
The following telegraphic despatch, (says the
Ohio Statesman of the l0th.) received last even
ing from Seneca county, is another evidence of
the monster democratic meetings that are TAX
ing place all over Ohio, and so cheering to the
hearts of the friends of our great and noble
Union.
"Let no one here after doubt the patriotic de-
vOton of the people of Ohio to the Union of
these States. Such universal outpourng of
the democracy as is witnessed day after day in
Ohio has had no parallel in the history of our
politics. We have seen good great, and enthu-
siastic meetings, but nothing equal to what is
now witnessed in every part of the State:
Tihin, Ohio, Sept. 10, 1856.

literally overfowing with people. Great en-
thusasm.
"DEM CENTRAL COMMITTEE"
THE CANVASS IN MICHIGAN-THE STATE SAFE FOR
BUCK AND BRECK.
The great democratic mass meetings recently
held at Kalamazoo and Pontiac-in point of
numbers and enthusiasm without parallel in
the history of the State-must satisfy every
candid mind as to the real state of public feel
ing in Michigan. We are indebted to a cores
pondent of the New York Day Book for the
subjoined interesting account of these remarka-
BILE popular demonstrations
"The great democratic meeting at Kalamazoo
and Pontiac, last Friday and Saturday, far eX-
ceeded in number the anticipation of the most
sanguine The Kalamazoo meeting numbered
not less than 10000 people, brought together
from the western counties of the State
Speeches were made by Messrs Breckenridge
and Preston from Kentucky, Daniel S. Dickin-
son from New York, Bright from Indiana, Cass,
McClelland Secretary of Interior,) Fech, La
throp, Stewart and others of our own State
At Pontiac, Messrs. Breckenridge, Preston
Dickinson, Cass, and Fech, spoke to an i'm
mensc multitude, numbering not less than 25,-
900. Both meetings were characterized through
out with the greatest enthusiasm. At Pontiac
our friends had prepared an old fashioned bar
Jecue, which is a new feature in meetings in this
section. At both places Mr.. Breckenridge was
received with most tremendous cheers from
more than 10000 stout democratic lungs, which
were echoed, and will be re-echoed, over the
prairies of Michigan till the 4th of November
shall send back the glad sounds that Kentucky's
gallant son fills the second place in the gift of
the American people, while old Buck stands
at the helm of the good old ship, Constitution.
~ must notice one incident of the Pontiac
meeting. The States were represented by young
ladies dressed in white, each bearing a banner
with the name of particular State upon it. In
this groupe Kansas was not forgotten, but she
also had her representative in the person of a
beautiful young girl, not robed in black, as the
black republicans would have done, but in gar
ments of spotless white, and garland of flow
ers upon her head. 1t is needless to say that
the young Kansas was greeted with loud and
continued shouts while the roar of cannon wei
