democratic Meetings.

Ihe meetings N IhINeNf ANeePOih anu
MOOreiield during the past week, were all the
Democrats could ask.
On last Thursday some 4or 500 people As-
sembled at Fairview in this county. After raj
sing beautiful hickory pole some l4O feet IN
height, the people repaired to beautiful grove
adjoining the town, where they were addressed
some four hours by Messrs. Pearce, Berkley and
Estep in an eloquent and argumentative style.
The cars then came along, and the crowd dis
persed to their respective homes, determined to
do their full duty for Buck and Breck this fall.
Large crowds of true hearted women cheersd the
meeting with their presence. God bless the
ladies'
That night we had quite an enthusiastic meet
ing at the Court House IN Cadiz, which was ad-
dressed in an able and forcible manner by Judge
Means and Thomas S. Woods, Esq, our popu-
lar and excellent nominee for Congress. At the
close of the meeting it was announced that there
would be another meeting at the Court House
on last Saturday night.
The next day, (Friday,) about $50 or 200 of
Freeport and raised beautiful hickory pole,
some 140 feet high. After the pole was raised,
the people were addressed by Mr. Woods in
the afternoon, and by Judge Means at night
Their speeches took well with the Democracy,
but worked hard on the Fremonters as was evil
denced by the interruption made by their lead
ers. There are some Of as honry Fremonters
about Frecport as any other place in the county,
Cadiz not excepted. Some of them showed
their '6rOttghtin up'' on that occasion. Freeport
will give good account of herself this fall.
On Saturday the people turned out en- mase
at Moorcfeld. Between and 500 were pres
ent In the morning the prettiest hickory pole
that we have yet seen was raised. 1t is 113
feet high we believe. After dinner the large
concourse assembled in the streets, where after
some excellent songs by the "Cadiz Buck and
Breck Glee Club" and music by the "Cadiz
Brass Band" the people were addressed in able
and effective manner by Messrs. Woods, Means
and Estep, with the National Flag of our coun-
try waving over them. The Democracy oi
Moorefeld township are invincble, and will
give good account of themselves at the coming
fall elections
AS we said before, it was announced that there
would be Democratic meeting in the Court
House on last Saturday night When we re
turned from Moorefed the Court House was
occupied by the Fremonters. Our meeting
was announced. Not wishing to interrupt the
Frcmonters, our friends repaired to Mr.. Beebe's
steps adjoining our Office A large number as
sembled when Judge Means addressed then
in his usual able and forcible manner. Durins
Judge Means speech a lot Of boys from 10 t.
l6 years Of age kept running and bowling thro
the the streets, trying to interrupt the Judge
These boys may have done this dirty work a
their own suggestion, but it looked very mucl
as if older and honrier heads were at work
When Judge Means was through, Mr.. EsteI
look the stand, who spoke about three quarter
Of an hour. During the delivery Of Mr.. Estep'
speech a large crowd kept assembling. Ant
9 before Mr. Estep had set down a dirty lolo III
r blackgWarl in Cadiz proposed three cheers 70
Fremont, which was responded to by almos
every Fremonter who was in our meetng--
And before the cheers was through that heart
Jess uiNafn, Lewis Lewton had mounted tn
''upping block" at the corner Of our Office, an
was making speech for Fremont This dirt
and dishonorable work Of the Frccmonters wa
more than good Democrats could put up with
They then went to work to stop the blackguar
from making his speech, and they did it.
Our meeting was appointed peacebly The
: held theirs in the snme manner in the Coul
: House without the least disturbance from an
= Democratic boy or man. This Meeting in tn
a Court House would have been sufficient for qe,
It tlemea, without disturbing democratic NEE
n ing. Their quiet and peaceable meeting wa
5 not sufficient for some of the dirty, low bro
blackguards who belong to tho Fremont part
in Cadz. They see that their rotten cause i
:. this county is sinking and in order to bolstt
!, it up, they undertake to disturb and break u
= Democratic meetings. They found out on Sal
urday night by sore experience that that thin
could not be done. Democrats occasionally ma
bear little imposition, but when sectional d
unionists undertake to "nb it in," they will fin
r. that they run against the wrong crowd. W
nor no other Democrat will disturb their al
pointed meetings, and will not permit ours
!. be. We intend TO hold meetings in Cadiz.-
re We will hold them peaceably if we can, but v
r will not permit them to be interrupted.
