THAT HUBBARD MEETING THE
OLD WHEEL HORSE AROUSED.
HUBBARp. Aug. 20. 1856

HUBBARD. Aug. 90, 1856.
Eds. Chronicle In looking over the
Democrat today, we noticed a very sp;-
cy effusiOn in reply TO a report of the
Meeting in this place, on the
2l inst. We should certainly have re-
piled to it ere this, but, unfortunately,
the circulation of the Democrat is so lin
tied in this section, that with the most
diligent search, was unable TO procure a
copy until to-day. The old wheel horse
thinks the writer Of that article either
extremely ign-rani, or "bery wicked" I"
isn't quite sure which, says thatnota sin.
gle man was induced to change his posi-
sion-has conversed with every Demo-
erat that attended that meeting. Now
Johny, are you certain you canyased
every one of them how your, mind
must have been with fearful apprehen-
sions filed, and what good time you
must had ''trotting around" to see ''eye-
ry one those Democrats" and how thy
portly parts must have shook with holy
horror, that the writer Of that report
could be so "bery wicked" and when
you was sci di g up that shrek for the
tdear Constitution and everlasting
UniOn." didn't you feel little Uneasy,
and wasn't it as Dave Tod says, kinda
hard work. And when the people turn
ed out zen masse" 70 hear and inyesti-
gate the truth, did Mt You beleite that
the present Democratic party would be
weighed in the balance and found want
ing next November? That meeting and
those speeches were Ike the hand wri-
ting upon the wall unto Johny-caused'
his knees to smote together, Belshazzar
fashion; and further, says Johny. Eve
1--we truth always, we also love to see
men enjoying their religious and political
opinions" What change has come
Ger the spirit of your dream" within a
month, for 'tis scarcely that since I, my
self, in company with many others,
heard you say, that you did not believe
there was d-m honest man in the Re-
publican parry. And why? because they
believed before God. that Franklin
Pierce had betrayed his sacred trust
and to-day was peljured man before
the American people; and that the cry
of the innocent, 81 am an American
Citizen" had been interposed in vain 70
save from an ignoble death. And when
honest men see these things and revolt
at them, ard turn from the party that
upholds and supports them, the old
Wheel Horse yelpts them dishonest
men-beautiful consistency. And again
he says. "we do moi pretend to denyt that
some have left us''-suppose he learned
that last spring, when he was running
for township treasurer and got beat by a
boy scarcely of age. who the ,Republi-
cans put up just to show him how nicely
they could do it. And then it must
have been very mortifying, whens at the
same election, he was going to be beat
for treasurer he change tactics and Iaa
for con table. Did you get to be con-
stable ? ha, ha, it must have been about
this time that johnny learned that his
friends were gone. And how he comes
down upon the poor K. Ms. Well I
don't blame him, after going all the way
10 Youngstown two different times tojoin
the order, and then being repulsed; a
fellow of his sanguine temperament would
naturally feel little riled. As for cast.
ing stigma upon the intelligence Of our
citizens, far be it from me, on the con-
traTy, admire them for their intelligence
and penetration; they are smart enough,
at least, not to trust the old wheel horse
with the most trivial Office. As t0what
Mr.. Hall SAID upon the occasion, Johny
was either so much excited during the
speech, as l noticed he interrupted the
speaker several times } as to be ignorant
of what was said, or stated wilIful
falsehood. In regard to Nh. BaldwiR's
speech, what he says is not only utterly
false. but is a vile slander upon his in
telligence. Mr.. Baldwin did not eulogise
Mr.. Buchanan 'as a man and great
statesman" AMI now, in conclusion,
''we love truth always" and all Tyro
asks in public or private is, ''an open
field and fair play" for before an intel
gent and discriminating public. all your
per'onal abuse and slang phrases wont
avail You, so pitch in lemons and get
as you have commenced we
shall end. A. REPUBLIcAN
