FArRvIELD, Iowa, August 4tb, 1860.
Mr. EDIroR: hasten to announce that the
Little Giant corn and cob crushers have Just had
grand justification in this city. Flaming hand
bills have been scattered throughout the county.
announcing that yc grcatunwashed orator, Dean,
would, on Friday, srd inst, at 2 o'clock r. NJ,
come forth clothed in the habiliments of the De.
mocracy, in all his gorgeous splendor, and ad-
dress the people in the Park. Great prepare.
tions were made, and the entire clan expected to
reap glorious reward 1t being understood
that the Immortal yreaser would arrive on the
Eastern train, . number Of wagons overloaded
with men and boys, with "Buck and Breck" flags
wended their way mournfully to the
depot Atthe usual time the train arrived, bring
ing with it the distinguished Ieyso.age, who was
carefully assisted into hack chad they dropped
him, he would undoubtedly have bursted) They
crowded around him, bcstowing upon him the
most costly gems and diadeins which jefferson
county afforded; the chickens crowed for joy,
dish-rags waved to and fro in the balmy air, the
rrcpressible conflict ceased, and thirty human
beings might have been seen rallying around the
fallesa anga from the throre Of Buchanan. New
# since the demise of Kephart was such excite
nent manifested about one man. Three cheers
serc given, which pleased H. G. D. very much.
The i"tsae"se eoncosrse appeared to be somewhat
puzzled whether to put their hero at the head or
all of the procession, but finally concluded to |
,lace him at the head. We noticed one fellow in |
he procession who sawed" away on an old fid. |
lie for dear life-tlosc who dance must pay the |
iddler. A number of white fags decorated the |
'orses heads, which we suppose was emblemati-
'al Of distress. The procession coursed it's way
oward the Park, with J. w. Dubois and II. N.
doore a. chief mourners. Three cheers were
,iven for Dean, SiM his dirty clothex At this
ime the number in the PROCESSION had grown to
N immense crowd Of $50. Feeling somewhat
Inclined to refresh the ''inner man." they unani.
nously adjourned to meet in the Park at o'clock
;. N. At the appointed time the great "unwash.
d" mounted box, gazed wistfully around for
ew moments, and then with more than Cicero
ian oratory he consigned Demosthenes and Pat
ick Henry to everlasting oblivion. Ten thou
and thunders shook his huge 'bread baskes'
rom centre to circumference, and with q weird
Ike influence he held them spelLbound, and en-
hanted with the following melodious strain:
Ebo shin, gizzard-footed, blubber-lips, rotten
'ackerel, black tongue, thieves, scoundrels,
lack republicans, abolitionists, turkey -buzzard,
lack legs" &C., &C., and finally wound up by
isplaying his knowledge Of "bounce ball" in q
en-pin alley, endorsed the actions Of the KEEP
art mob. agreed several times to sell himself
or Niger, expressed strong desire to quarrel
nth somebody; be berated all parties except his
wn, and did not render It any service; opposed
Abe on account Of his long legs, and finally
after thrce-hour harangue
throughout the whole speech Dean took an ac-
i've part, but Henry Clay had nothing to do with
/. Although Dean is considered one Of the
rcat Sights" of Democracy, yet We think the
My light which will ever cmanate from him,
'ill be when he is rendered up into lard for can
lies to guide the erring steps of the Democracy
p Salt River If the Democracy send Tomlin-
on, Bxbbitt, and few more of their ''big guns"
crc, you can set Jefferson county down 10000
sejority for Aessrs. Lean, Douglas, Wiekli6e d.
70. By the way, how does it come that the
)ouglasites are notso bitterly opposed to the
lergy participating in the discussion Of ofpolitics,
s they were in by-gone dayss

lIIcENAN AND DoUGLAs.-In his speech at |
Vest Chester (his home) on Friday last, Hon.
tohn Hickman n,ade some very pointed state.
nents concerning Douglas. and their former re-
ations with each other. He said:
Particular pains had been taken to say that I |
lad turned traitor to my former professions, and |
abandoned Stephen A. Douglas. l have never |
any Of my political doctrines, and
'eser sras a Douglas man. [Applause.] l want |
mem to know just where stand. thus make |
his public declaration and repeat it-I have |
lever been Q Douglas man, for always despised |
lis political principles-if he ever had any. |
ny there il no man in the Democratic party OF |
he borough Of West Chester, or in the county |
II Chester, who has ever heard me say word Of |
