The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1858-11-26

The Republican festival and jubilee
over the recent splendid Republican vic
tories, announced for last Friday evening,
came off at that time with more than an
ticipated eclat. The notices and invita-
tons had been given out so short time
previous, and in so irregular manner, that
few expected that there would be more
than dozen or two in attendance, and
some were fearful that it would be a tame
and insipid affair; but, unexpectedly, be
fore eight o'clock, the large public house
was crowded to its utmost capacity, with
spirited and jubilant Republicans, with
their ladies, all expectant of a brilliant
and glorious time, and eager to participate
in rational festivity and innocent jollity.
Friendly greetings, smiling ceuntenances,
happy faces, and the cordial "grip," serv-
ed to fill up the time till the supper was
prepared, which being announced, all re-
paired to the immense dining hall, and
after being seated, the Divine blessing
was implored by the Rev. Mr.. Cogswell.
About an hour was occupied in the de-
structlon of oysters aud the other dainty
aud sumptuous viands, which mine host
had prepared for his vast crowd of visitors,
when the audience was called to order By
L. J. House, Chairman, and the following
toasts read several of which, were hand
somely responded to by gentlemen present:

out, that the gates of hell on sleyocracy, should
never prevail against them.

The Hon. AUSTIN BLAIR, of Jackson
being present, arose in response to the last
sentiment. Mr.. T., with his proverbial
modesty, commenced by saying that, he
accepted the compliment, not for himself,
but as deserved tribute of respect and
justice to the unwavering patriotism and
devotion of the Republicans of Jackson
