Z HE ElhbS vi Az 81 5NhFASSED!
Last Thursday was a glorious day for the
Democracy Of Harrison. The weather had been
very unhvorsble for several days previous; be-
ing very cold and wet, but the morning of the
9nd opened clear, though resty, and the boom
ing Of cannon summoned the Democracy to b.
up and doing. By ten O',lOck hundreds and
thousands Of our people were in sight of Cadiz
with their banners flying and drums beating -
By eleven O'Clock the main procession was for
med, and although three of the largest delega-
tons had not arrived it was then, at least three
times as large as the Republicans on 18th Of
September Our space will not permit US to
give detailed account of the affair." of their
banners, notices, &c; but we cannot forbear to
mention the 81 ladies from Bloomfield, repre-
senting the States Of this Union, and also two
wagons from Athens township each containing
81 ladies' They were admired by all, and
greeted with tremendous cheers The delega-
the main procession, but when II did come, il
was second to none in numbers and in the beau
! ty of their designs. One design, which was the
admiration Of all, consisted of wagon with q
/ large platform, on which was erected beauti
I f1l Arch beneath which, dressed in white
stood two beautiful ladies, (and we mean what
we say with hands clasped, representing the
North and Southland above, the motto, United
We stand" The delegations were all fine, ant
! the spirit and enthusiasm exceeded anything
We ever witnessed.
The outpouring was spontaneous too. W.
offered no prize hammer, as the Republicans did
They came without reward, moved only by
their love of the true Democratic principles
the Constitution and The UNION of our fore
fathers.
As to our numbers it is almost impossible tc
arrive at any definite conclusion. They were
variousy estimated at from 10, tn $1,000. The
Republicans claimed at their meeting 1000
! II they had that number, we think no one, who
was at both meetings, can doubt that we had
at least, 10000. We had, at least, two voters
to their one; and we exceed their crowd by al
least one third.
Immediately after dinner, the crowd assem-
blcd at the Grove, where two stands were eroc-
ted. The meeting was organized by calling the
Hon. James Mckinney, Of Jefferson county tc
the Chair, and appointing several vice-presidents
and secretaries whose name]eNe have mislaid.
At the upper stand John Jamison of IIarri-
son, was appointed chairman. The numbers
were so great that many could not get within
hearing Of either stand
Judge Hart, of Cincinnati, oE candidate for
Attorney General of the State, first addressed
the vast concourse Of people at the lower stand,
in clear, logical, and eloquent style. He took
the hide completely off A H. Reeder, and sad
died the troubles in Kansas on the right horse.
But we cannot pretend to give even an outline
Of his speech, but we can say that it was tar su-
perior to Gov. Ohasc's, as we heard several
Fremonters themselves admit
Hart was followed by the Hon. S. Clemmens
Of Virginia, in glowing speech, rcplete with
sound argument, spicy wit and burning elo-
quence. He spoke over two hours. lie was
several times interrupted by one Micajah John
son. Black Republican of Shortcreek township
who was conceity and impudent enough to think
that he could hold an argumentative diologuc
with Mr. Clemmens. We must charge Mr.
Clemmens with cruelty: For he not only skin
ned him, but absolutely dcvoured him; poo
soul, that is the end Of him.
The audience at the upper stand, was frs
addressed by w. Cul CASTOR, of J,fferso1
county who held them spell bound for over tw
hours, with one of his most happy efforts. II
completely demolished the false charges agains
the Democratic party and showed up the al
rant knavcry and hypocricy of the Republica
party in such a powerful and convincing man
ner, that there seemed to be no 'hook left t
hang doubt upon"
CASTOR was followed by Thomas S. Woods
our candidate for Congsess; and if there wa
anything left for the Republican party to stan
on before CASTOR sat down, it immediately dis
appeared before the weight Of his sledge ham
mer lsgic, and ilnpassionate eloquence, as tn
morning dew before the Summers sun. We
may we be proud Of our Candidate for Congress
In sound judgment, capacity and eminent fl
mesa for the office for which he is nominated, b
has no equal in The Black Republican ranks {
least, and his prospects are brightning ever
hour.
All was harmony and peace during II
, speaking. No democrat was engaged in an
fght or quarrel during the day, and there Wa
: nothing on the ground to mar the order of th
proceedings. Our meeting is said by those VIII
have been all over the State to be, if not the la
+ gest, the best meeting Of the season for orde
spirit, and true feeling. 1t will be telling den
: onstration in this county. One word as to Il
prospects The Fremonters have said that the
r would carry the county by 1000; all we have
say, and let them mark it, is that we will CT
: that majority down 800, and we may possib
give the county to Buck & Breck. AT all event
: we will poll larger Uote than ,se haze done il
, Is years. Put pin there.
