cold and raw, will, drizzling rain (much
needed) and roads muddy from the copi-
Gus showers of the preceding night Ten
o'clock, however, fonnd horseback com
pany Of East Buifaloe young Fremonsers
escorting train of l 5 or 20 carriages from
this region into New Berlin, where We
found most Of the delegations had come
in, some Of them superior to ours. We
were agreeably surprised to see the num-
Der present, and found them all foil OF
harmony and Of hope. We should say
there were 1000 to 1900 men assembled
"a larger number than wo have ever
found at New Berlin before, and very
gratifying evidence of public feeling in
both the Counties. The people Of New
Berlin had made ample preparations for
an outdoor meeting, and had adorned the
two maiu streets with fsgs and banners
in the most tasty and striking manner ;
while their visiters came with badges, ban
ners, and flags in crest numbers and pro-
ducing most pleasing effect.
At one o'clock, those who could get
into the Court Room, assembled there
the closest, most compact party of the
many we have seen within those venera.

Charles Cawley, when the following Off
