Democracy Already got the 'Shakes!'
Last Saturday was proud day for the
Republicans. of e Little Wyandot, and
a regular damper upon the hopes of the
Border Ruffian Slave Democracy. The
Ifreemen of our county left their farms
and their workshops and came together
as men who value the blessings of free
institutions, and who are determined that
the rotten and corrupt dynasty that now
rules the nation shall feel the weight of
their condemnation at the polls in No
vember. The meeting was one of the
largest ever held in this place 1t was
composed chiefly of the honest yeomanry
of the county-those who are seldom
found at political meetings unless great
principles are at stake. 7..
About 10 o'clock the people began to
assemble from the different townships.
The first delegation that attracted our at
tention was that from Marseilles, and a
truly fine appearance it made. Headed
by the Marseilles Brass Band, this pro-
cession, embracing long line of wagons,
carriages, and buggies, filed with live
Fremonters, their banners unfurled to the
breeze, passed along Sandusky Avenue
to the Layton House, where it was met
by deles alton of fifty Fremonters on
horseback from Sycamore, their horses
decorated with Fremont and Dayton )"
flags. The other delegations also arriv-
ed about the same time, and the whole,
forming into line, constituted one grand
procession, and headed by the Upper
Sandusky and Marseiles Bands, COM
meneed marching through the principal
streets of the town-our friend Mott act
ing as Chief Marshal.
A novel feature of the procession was
large wagon, hauled by three yoke of
oxen, and handsomely decorated with ap-.
propriate banners 1t hailed from Eden
township, and the enthusiastic young Re-
publicans on board discoursed music from
the drum and fife as they passed along.
AS this magnificent procession paraded
the streets, the crowds of spectators that
lined the sidewalks were perfectly wild
with enthusiasm, and sent up repeated
cheers for the Republican candidates.
| A slight shower Of rain fell while the
procession was marching through town,
but it did not dampen the ardor of our
friends, who held on their course, prefer
ring any rain to the reign of Pierce, Bu-
chanan and Slavery.
Several large and beautiful flags orna-
mented the procession. On one Of these
was inscribed -" SUMNER sPAKE FOR
FREEDoM-SLAvERY ASKED HIS BLOOD !"
After the procession returned to the
place of starting, three hearty cheers for
Fremont and Dayton were given, when
the crowd adjourned for dinner.
About l, p M, the various delegations
again formed into line, and proceeded to
Mr. Ayres' beautiful grove at the north
east part of town.
When we arrived on the ground, we
found the meeting organized, and the
Hon. DAVID X. CARTIER on the stand.
For over an hour Mr.. Cartier held the
attention Of the large audience, giving
he Calhoun Black Democracy one of the
most complete maulings we ever witness
ed. Mr. c., as is well known, was a
Democrat up to the nomination Of Bu
chanan, but he can tswallow Calhounism.
He speech was searching examination
of the Cincinnati Platform, and the creed
of the PierceDouglas school Of Demo
Gratis, which he contrasted with the De-
mocracy of Thomas Jefferson. His pc
culiar manner of speaking and droll COM
parsons frequently convulsed the audi
ence with uproarious laughter.
Hon. J. M. Roor was then introduced
to the meeting. Mr.. Root was not in
good voice for addressing an outdoor
assemblage. but he made an excellent
and telling speech for Fremont and Free
dom. abounding in happy hits at the po-
sition of our opponents. We should do
Col. Root injustice were we to attempt
even brief report of his admirable
speech. 1t was well received and pro-
duced profound impression upon the
audience. One part of it in particular
the parallel between the career of Wash
ington and Fremont-was listened to with
breathless attention. We likewise noticed
that the Colonel's humorous description
of Fremont marriage, and his allusion
to Old Bucks lone lorn y condition
excited the mirthfulness of the ladies,
large numbers of whom were present.
The meeting closed somewhat abrupt
ly in consequence of the wind and rain
storm which came on, premonitory of the
storm which will sweep over the whole
country next November, hurling from
| power the Calhoun traitors and their
northern dirt-eating allies. 4ae
Every thing passed off harmoniously
and satisfactorily. Nothingoccurred to mar
