The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1856-10-16
LITTLE WYANDOT IN A BLAZE OF
ENTHUSIASTIC!
TIE GREAT MEETING ON TUESDAY.
The Ball is Rolling, Rolling On.

The Fremont Mass Meeting here on
Tuesday came fully up to the expecta-
tions of our most sanguine Republicans,
in Upper Sandusky, and far exceeded the
anticipations of many, ourselves among
the number. We had expected fair
turn-o out, but nothing like what was wit
messed. Such procession-such crowd
of people-such Republican "army
with banners" as filed the streets of our
village on that day, was as cheering to
friends as it was dispiriting to foes.
We shall not attempt minute descrip-
ton Of this great meeting; for the mas
ses who were here, will need none and
to those who were not, we could give no
adequate description of the spectacle. 1t
was one Of those glorious meetings which
cannot be fully represented on paper.
AS to the number in attendance, we
have heard no estimate, except from Lo-
cofoco sources, which naagnonimously al
lows us 27O voters The same chaps es-
timated their own convention here last
month at three TO four thousand. Ad-
hitting this to be correct, we think none
of our opponents who saw both, and pos
sess modicum of candor, will allow
us less than nine to twelve thousand
Mind, aoe do not claim that number, but
the BUCCANEERS must, if their former 6g-
ures were correct. The procession was
half an hour passing our Office, travelling
at tolerably rapid pace, and very many
who came in early, did not 60 into the
procession at all.
The display of flags, banners, notices,
and curious devices, gave the procession
most imposing appearance. We can
not particularize. 1t was one of the
most beautiful professions we ever wit
messed, and we doubt not exceeded any
thing of the kind that has ever been
seen in Upper Sandusky. Notthe least
attractive feature, was the ladies, who
honored the occasion with their presence,
whose gay attire, blooming countenances
and encouraging smiles, as they were
borne along, singing the songs of free
dom, cheered and animated the hearts
of the sterner sex, and contributed
not little to the enthusiasm Of the
day. The ladies are thoroughly enlisted
for Fremont and Freedom, in this cam
paign, and, though, our opponents may
sneeringly tell us they have no votes, we
can assure the advocates of border ruff
anism, that when the votes are counted,
and freedom is is'triumphant, as it will be,
not little of the credit will be due to the
ladies.
The Carey Glee Club, composed of
young men, were present, and enlivened
the occasion with excellent Fremont son gs.

The Fremonters are awake in that part
of the county. Look out for thunder on
election day. Wyandot turned out a
large delegation af horsemen. The Wy

selves on Tuesday. Sycamore wheeled
into line with a fine delegation. The
Scott-town Fremonters were on hand, in
large numbers. From Little Sandusky

was well represented.
