Rally of Republicans at Daytol
40, 600 Freemen in Council

,UUO Freemen In Council!
Our exchanges are filled with glowing
accounts of. the menster-Frement.g gather
ing at Dayton on the 3Oth ult. This was
the first of the series of Young Mems
Conventions called by the State Central
Committee. The second came off at Ere
mont yesterday. All accounts agree in
representing the Dayton Convention as
one of the largest and most earnest and
enthusiastic ever held in the West. Up-
wards Of $4,000 people were in attend
ance - some estimates put it as high
as $4,000. The whole Miami val
ley is alive with enthusiasm for Fremont,
and her gallant Republicans docked into
Dayton by tens of thousands. An ele
giant and costly banner, prepared by the
ladies of Dayton for the county sending
the largest delegation, was awarded to
cold Green" her delegation numbering
$500. Cassius NJ. Clay, of Kentucky,
Gov. Bingham, of Michigan, Hon. Caleb
B. Smith, of Cincinnati, Hon. Samuel
Parker, of Indiana, and Hon. Arson Bur
lingame, of Massachusetts,, each address
ed the people at different points in the
city. No one speaker could be heard by
a fourth of the immense crowd. Mr..
Burlingame, of course, was the lion of
the. occasion. Everybody was anxious
to see and hear the man whom Bully
Brooks was afraid to meet with rifles at
fifty PAGES.
The Cleveland Herald thus describes
one feature of the procession:
The hit of the day was the process
sion of the Border Rufians, from Indi-
ana. The indianapolis train was full
freighted with Hoosier Boys, who go for
Fremont with will They brought with
them their Border Rufian parapher-
MALTA, and just before the public speaking
commenced, called everybody to the
streets by the most grotesque and striking
representations bad rulers ever provoked
any people to dramatize. First came
Belial on an ass, bearing the black flag
of slavery, with the motto My a0ork,
do tozloy me = Then Pierce and his
Cabinet in Salt River bound boat, &C.

Kansas. Next Buchanan and Breckin.

State settlers in the hands of the Border
Rufians, led by Atchison, Stringfellow

street.
This was followed by specimen Slave
Auction and of slave-driving in Kansas,
the gang of African men, women and
children being cofied together and driven
at the crack of the masters lash. Ano-
