hui JIG 1lLlHOIe men vi tIle uelSHDoIlnS rcSLoH
of Kentucky, and for the hundreds of Indiana
Fillmore men who were the participants Of
Kentucky hospitality during that period 1t
was a day and occasion long to be remembered
the gathering, the immense assemblage, the
vast preparations to accommodate the multi
tude, and the presence Of beauty and the alb
sence of anything improper to mar the general
festivity but for the patriotic, national Seelingr
which could thus bring together thousands!
and animate them with one spirit, a spirit op-
posed to all sectionalism, and burning in love
for Fillmore and the Union. We congratulate
our Kentucky Fillmore friends on their en-
thusiasm, and the good fruits of their warm
feelings as illustrated in this great Barbecue.
We may not "pay them up'in their kind, but
We shall endeavor to initiate the spirit which
produces such grand results.
Early Thursday morning, although the
clouds had lowering aspect, large number
of Fillmore men, and ladies too, accompanied
by band, the new Fillmore brass piece with
the Young America Gun Squad, started on the
steamer City of Cairo for Henderson. The
star spangled banner waved above them, and
theircheers mingled with the roar of the can
non and the music Of the band as they left the
wharf A very heavy wind prevented the
steamer from turning for some time, but she
at last got away. At Henderson our delega-
ton, or the FIRST Evansville delegation, was
met by large crowd Of enthusiastic Ameri-
cans, and received by the Marshals of the day.
Headed by the splendid New Harmony brass
band, they formed in procession. and marched
up town to the Taylor House, where they
met other delegations. After winding around
town, vast procession of men and women,
they proceeded to the Barbecue grounds.
A little after IL o'clock, the City of Cairo
was again at our wharf and took on board an
other delegation for the Barbecue. They ar
rived at Henderson about o'clock. Almost
at the same time the steamer Kate Sarchet ar
rived from Mt. Vernon with over three hun
dred Filmoreites on. board. Marshals were
present to receive these delegations, and escort;
them to the Barbecue grounds. They formed
in procession, and headed by the Evansville
Brass Band, thus marched to the Barbecue.
