ard flaming landbills announced that the
Agent and Lecturer for tle oolonization So
citty, II. L Hosmer, ESD, of7Tolcdo, would
make speech. The time ceme, the politi-
cal elders went 10 the appointed p'ace-llos-
mcr went with thtm--ihe people stayed away,
No speech was made. The Republicans have
heretofore made up their meetings, but the
ungentlemanly treatment received at their
hands has induced them to let their democrat
ic friends have things their own way, and now !
they can see their own littleness both in mum
bers and action.
The Republicans promised TO join their
friends of Maumoe City in a meeting and
torch-light procession. Consequently, at the
proper hour, martial music filed the air with
patriotic strains, large concourse of citizens
gathered on the streets, the old cannon was
wheeled into the ranks, and with three hearty
ch GERS for Fren ont and few shots from the
cannon, the multitude moved towards Mau-
NEE City, under the direction Of three mar
shals. AS the procession passed the residence
of D. NJ. Mefford, Esq, (late democrat) the
most deafening shouts rent the air. Many
other citiztns were similarly honored.
Arriving in Maumee, we were met by
long procession bearing torches and transpa-
rencies. The two professions joined, formed
one of the grandest spectacles we have wit
messed in these parts during the campaign. As
it marched through the beautiful streets Of
that place, the air was loaded with the shouts
of freemen, martial music, and the booming
of the cannon. A halt was made in front of
the American and Lqngenderfer came in for
three hearty cheers. The proct tssion finally
m arched 10 the beautiful grove near Masonic
Hall, wEere q stand had been erected, bonfres
built, and every neediul preparation made for
political jubilee. Stirring and eloquent
spe, ches were made by Hon. A, Cook, F.
Jones, Esq, and J. f. Price, Esq, and sew
eral campaign songs were well surg by the
gee club, all of which were greeted with the
most enthusiastic applause. rr..
At late hour the exercises terminated,
and Shout answered 10 shout as the multitude
divided into smaller numbers TO go to their
respective homes. ...... ......-
1t is proper here to mention that the demo-
Gratis of Maumee held meeting at the same
time of the Republican demonstration. They
met in Union Hall, and were addressed by
our highly esteemed friend, J. j. Manor, Esq,
Jim Steadman, and the Agent for the Coloni-
cation Society who couldn't get hearers IN
Perrysburg. The audience was counted, and,
including the Republicans in attendance, the
Fillmore men Of this place, (Steadmau's bo-
som companions the perrysburg democrats
whose meeting at the court louse was not
marred by the shadow of black republican,
and the ton from Toledo, numbered just
Mirty.tpot (32) The little crowd resembled
funeral on the Fourth Of July more than
anything else. We listened 4 few moments
Mr.. Manor, an d must bear testimony to the
gentlcm lnly manner in which he di cussed
the question at issue. 1t was not cur pleasure
to hear S:eaGmap, but our informant says he
raved worse than young gentleman COW in
fl7 time. Nearly every sentence was clinched
bv an oath. He seemed TO be laboring under
an attack of political delhium tremtns, and
imagined every post in the house to be black
republican, every crack in the wall to be filled
with black republican eyes, and the twgs on
the surrounding trees to be black republican
goose quls recording Lis terrible oaths' ll(
even thought he saw the shadow Of bIacl
republican odtor though the distant dark
! ness, and then his excitement danced like III
tie devils when Old Sooty plays the fiddle
His nan Friday even followed republican
at out the streets, cursirg, swearing, and ra
wing like an escaped inmate Of the mad-house
and as his eyes would turnuron Il hundred
within the bright light of the Republi
can boufres, and the half dozens in Tn
:. ion all, the shadows Of future homes To-
i would fit across his mind, and then such
;; fit as he would Lave was astonishing 10 III

s. were stationed at the hall door, aid it wa
!" with much difficulty that the little band wei
kept in the hall. One Irishman started fc
ID the door, swearing that he could not go wit
,e such a shabby looking party, and when abo'
lg to make his exit, by the Interference OF tt
ID committee was driven back and compelled
a hear it through.
