10 your readers brief account Of this
meeting. On the evening Of the 4th
OF August, . person calling himself
"WiIev," alighted from the cars At the
depot, in this place, and from his desire
to walk on both sides Of the street at
the same time, il vas supposed BY those
standing near that he had been 'mb'bng
large quantities Of the beverage known
as shorty rod whiskey." Through much
tribulation be arrived At Mr.. Kefe's,ein's
store, where he endeavored to procure
gallon CT this same ''fosty rod !" fall
ing 10 this, be made his way into Hot
flaurs' "B,er Keller" in which place be
gave notice that be had been sent to
Walcott for the purpose Of organizing 2
Republican meeting, aud thinking that
was probably as good place as he
could End for that purpose, be, ike =
good servant. set about performing his
errand. There were present at the
time six persons, who comprised the
whole Of this "large mceting;;" three
Of these six we're sound, unflinching
Democrats, and to make it still more
lsughable, Eve out Of the six were IN
tina: condition known as being "three
sheets 10 the Wind" After Mr.. Hoffiaur
was called to the chair and Mr.. Fred
er:ck elected secretary, the renowned
Wiley, after several unsuccessful effo'ts
70 rise, managed with the assistance OF
the chair,) to get upon bis feet, and IN
a bungling manner, stated that the OBJ
ject of the meeting was to make PrepaF-
ations for the reception Of Messts. Hub
bell and Price, who are to be here on
the fifteenth of this month. He then
endeavored to make speech, denoun-
chg the Democratic party and their
Lsnd date for tn. Presidency, but find
ing himself Unequal to the task, and un-
.ble to create sensation amorg his
audience, he, after five minutes talk, IN
which be used ell the slang phrases aud
low blackguardism which be could bring
to mind, be concluded by asking all
good Republicans and Democrats to
come up and take drink and be on
hand on the fifteenth to hear Messrs
HubbeU and Price tear the Democratic
Platform in pieces. He also challenged
any Democratic leader in the country
to meet his lions and debate with them
upon the subject. Now, what is to be
said Of all these "ereat Republican
meetings which we read so much about .
I am inclined to the opinion that they
are all like this one, viz: grand humbugs
and enormous fizzIes, gotten up on pa
per for the purpose Of "taking i'm the
unsuspectiug" ones of both parties
and making them believe the Republican
party is "some pumpkins" Hoping

THE CONCERT FOR THE BENEFIT OF TIE IL
BRARY AssocIATIoN.-Th concert given last
evening by Mr.. Richings and his accom-
plished daughter, assisted by Mr.. LelRnd's
orchestra, for the benefit of the Library As
sociation, was an exceed ingly rare and chaste
entertainment. Miss Richings' singing, in
our humble opinion, stamps her as singer
occupying the rank of the Parodis, AlbOnis,
LabOrdes, Picolominis, and other imported
musical celebrities. In one respect she is
eminently their superior, in that she sings
with more apparent freedom.
The rendition of the comic duet of " La
File du Regiment" by Mr.. RichingS and
his daughter, brought the house downsin a
round of rapturOus applause. The piece
was performed as only the Richings could
perform it.
Miss Richings' recitation of the "Wooing
and Wedding Feast" in Longfellow's Hia-
watha, was an exceedingly fine and artistic
affair, and one which was loudly applandsd.
The Orchestra. under the lead of MF. J.
NJ. Leland, played some most magnificent
pieces, in a manner that excited the admira-
tion of the audience. They sustained the
Richings admirably.
The house was not as large as it should be,
although the audience was oneI Iof the most
respectable and fashionable ever convened in
our city. The Hall was only two-thirds filled,
much to the discredit of the citizens of our
city. When we consider the deserving OBJ
jeet of the entertainment, that of replenish-
ing the exhausted treasury of the Library
Association, the generosity of Mr.. and
Miss Richings and Mr.. Leland and his Or
chestra, in volunteering their services in such
a rich entertainment, it is much to be regret
ted that the people of our Forest City did
not see fit to encourage in more liberal man
ner, by their presence, the efforts of the
managers of the Association, and thus ap-
preciate the compliment rendered by the ac-
cOmplished artists who are strangers in our
midst. No doubt if the admission fee had
been ten cents, instead of fifty, the Hall
would have been crammed to OverAowing.
Mr.. and Miss Riehings leave for other
parts to-day, and they will bear with them
the best wishes of their many friends and
admirers. We commend them as being
among the most accomplished actors on the
stage, whose regulations are unblenished,
and who are an honor to the profession and
to society, -a

DANAsCvHLE, May %, 1860.
DEAR GRAY:-I desire to know of you
whether the exposition ofthe debates between
S, A. Douglas and Lincoln, published by Fos-
ter Follett, & Co., Columbus, Ohio is a fair
exposition in your estimation, or not; and
whether you know of any other place where
it is published and the edition you wou Id
recommend. Yours respectfully,
-. NJ. V. B. SPR0WL.
The edition of FoLLET & Co. WIS gotten up
expressly to defeat DOUGLAS. It is SO mutt
lated and arranged as to become an election
eering document. s .....
LECoLN's speeches have been rewritten,
portions added TO and others stricken out
It is nothing so fair report as that published
by even the Chicago Black Republican papers
at the time. We know of no authorized re-
port of said debates Certainly Judge DoUG-
LAS has authorized none. The most authentic
reports viii be foundin Shehan's life Of DoUG-
LAS.
Messrs. Follett, Foster & Co., advertise that
the speeches of Mr.. Douglas made in the de-
bate with Mr.. Lincoln, were copied Uerbdtim
from the Chicago Times, Mr.. DIS organ, and
were reported by shorthand writer selected
by Mr.. Sheahan himself The speeches o.
Mr.. Lincoln were copied from the Chicago
Press & Tribune At the time of the debate
between these gentlemen, these reports wert
considered by their respective friends to b'
fair and correct The Plain Dealer is re-
quested to point to a single sentence wher'
Mr. Douglas speeches were mutilated as pub
lished by Follett, Foster L Co. Unless tdoei
90, it will stand convicted of making de
liberate false charge.
1t is very singular that Judge Douglas ha
not repudiatOd the publication, if his remark
were altered or mutilated The fact is, h
dare not disavow the works. The Dealer
evidently making an effort to throw discredi
upon the enterprise of Messrs. Follett, Foste
& Co., seeing that the circulation of the de
bates is redounding to the disadvantage of it

FRoN LAKE sUPERIoR.-The steamer North
Star was telegraphed from Detroit yesterday,
and was expected to arrive at this port at an
early hour this morning.
The Mining Gazette of May 18th gives
some interesting facts in relation to Portage
Lake. The new cut into the Lake has now
twelve feet of water. The propeller General
Taylor passed through on the 18th. The adj
vantages of the new artificial channel are al
ready becoming apparent.
The old channel has become filed so that
at present there are but two feet of water on
the bar where formerly there were five, but
the new opening has its twelve feet depth,
and is eapaeious enough to pass any boat in
the Lake Superior line. The engineer in
charge Of the work, as well as others, appre-
hend no danger by diminution in the depth
of the channel
The machinery for the Franklin stamp
mill is to be up by the first of July next, at
which time the building and everything will
be in readiness, so that no delay will occur
in placing the stamps, and the mill will be
in running order before the close of naviga-
tion. Work has been commenced ON the
tram road under the supervision Of G. D,
Emerson, the engineer of the Quincy road.
The necessary machinery for the stamp
mill of the Quincy arrived per General Tay-
lor. Six hundred tens viii be shipped dur
ing this present season.
The new No. 4 shaft at the PeWebicis is near
ly completed and viii be in condition fol
hosting by the first of June next.
