Lincoln and Liberty ana victery
FAlRTIELD, Iowa, Aug. 10th, 1860.
Editor Haak-Ey The cause Of Lincoln and
Hamlin is steadily and firmly advancing in thil
county, while the "Bob-tails" are receding in
the same ratio. Our own glorious Jefferson j,
fully aroused to her own interests, and that oi
her country. From every village. the ever vel
come tidings is waited TO our ears that the Re
publican camp.fres are brightly burning Clubs
are being formed and the names Of Lincoln aad
Hamlin are creating the widest enthusiasm. On
Friday night (sd inst, the citizens Of Glasgow,
in this county, had grand Republican rally
The speakers platform was composed of Rdas,
and although disagreeable evening, about fivs
hundred were present, and the speakers poured
shot shot" into the Democratic ranks without
mercy. The noble citizens of Glasgow and vi.
cinity bearing aloft the ensign of ''Union and
Constitution" will give rousing majority for
Honest Old Abe" Of the West ,.s-
On the 9th inst, the citizens Of Pleasant
Plains, ON short notice, had an enthusiastic
meeting, and the people turned out in large
numbers, showing conclusively that Pleasant
Plains was not one of the 'strong holds" of the
Democracy. The Republicans of Brighton, de-
termined to send forth the shout Of good cheer,
had an imposing demonstration, about one
thousand persons were in council On Satur-
day, 9th inst, y the citizens Of Abingdon, also,
determined to battle for the right and the ad.
vanceu,ent Of the principles of truth and JUS
ticc, assembled together, the number present
Wilson and Stubbs from this place, addressed
the meeting, and Justice was dealt out to the
Siave-driving, sorrow-stricken Democracy. The
Abingdon "boys" are determined that no ar
mold shall have their votes There appears to
be kind Of ''irreprcssiblc conflict" existing be-
tween the towns, each endeavoring to elicit the
largest Republican meeting q
Again, we are pleased to call your attention
to meeting at Birmingham. on Tuesday night,
l4th inst In the afternoon pole was raised
100 feet long. About one fourth the way up
the pole, a piece Of timber was nailed across
ON one end Of the crosspiece cabin was placed
ON the other, maui and wedge. Hon. II. G.
Caldwell, of Keosauqua, addressed the meeting.
At night, the Wide Awakes from Kecsauqua and
Fairfield were on hand. The number of persons
present was estimated ut from ten to fifteen hun.
dred. A torch light procession was formed,
making brilliant display Of banners and trans
parencies. J. F. Wilson, Esq was introduced
and spoke for about two hours. He made an ex-
cellent speech, and was listened to attentively
and frequently applauded Cheers we're given
for Lincoln and Hamlin, the Wide Awakes, &c
To be brief, it was one Of the most enthusiastic
gatherings eyer held in Van Bpren county.
The supporters of Stephen A. Non tnterren
ton and Herschel V. .Slare-trade, attempted to
have grand rally some time since, at Liberty
vile, in this county. They wished the citizen.
20 hear Gen. Dodge, and the exigency of The
case demanded, as a last resort, that they get VI
shrewd plan to collect IN audience. The!
therefore sent the news abroad that j. F. Viii
son was to meet Mr.. Dodge, and discuss will
him the political issues Of the day. Many wer
disappointed, as the report was sheer fabrica
tion, and devoid of truth from beginning to end
Mr.. Wilson was at Springfield, Illinois, at tn
! time, and upon his return, was requested to Civ
the prospects Of Illinois, and delineation OF tn
Republican rally at Spring6eld-he did so, An
at the close Of his remarks, said, that if Nj
Dodge wished to discuss the political question
of the day, be was ready at any time, provide
it would not conflict with his engagements. No
such squirming and backing out as is displaye
by our Democratic friends is a "sin to Crockett
and far exceeds the "heeves" or 'blind stsggers
Some deny ever making such report, while otl
ers IN their blind devotion and their weak an
mis- guided fancies, persist in sending for pea
the nasty" to disgyace our city once more.
I G. G. Cole, the man of many C's, will addre
the people Of this place on Friday next, at
o'clock P. N. In order that he may become
lustrious, We propose that he takes to writiI
