ED. LEADER:-The overwhelming majori-
ties achieved by the Republicans Of the three
great States, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana,
over the united atsg eads' Of Democracy, at
their State elections last week, were received
by the friends OF Liberty in our village as
greater success In these great sovereign States
than we had dared TO hope for. The rout OF
the enemies, horse and foot, was so complete,
that all the lovers Of freedom here resolved to
hold grand jubilee On last evening,
The provoking driEzly rain of Monday
passed away, and Tuesday the heavens smiled
propitiously, and the very surroundings Of
nature seemed to anticipate the festival in
the evening. AT sunset a beautiful "Libery
Pols" a hundred feet high, was planted in
the centre OF our village pine as straight
as an arrow-and better than all, il was a
present from an old line Democrat who we
hope TO see vote on the ides Of November for
the peoples friend, Abraham Lincoln. The
dag Of tour country foated gracefully at
the masthead, inscribed Lincoln and Ham
lin Then went up shout for freedom that
made the lovers Of Liberty rejoice and feel
sure that in the hands Of intelligent freemen
our country is safe.
Next came the torch-light drill OF the Wide
Awakes Of Chagrin Falls and Solou, noble
band Of yeomanry, who know their rights
and dare maintain them, and as they march
ed along the streets they were surprised to
find the stores and shops and private dwell
iugs everywhere Illuminated, a demonstra-
ton never before seen in our quiet village
The voice from three great States had found
a hearty response in the hearts OF men, wo-
men and children, and the lights from the
torches Of the Wide AwalIes, and from every
pane Of glass along the sides of the streets,
and the hearty cheers Of everybody, told that
everybody reioiced.
As the line moved along it found at the
store of Eggleston, Mcfarland & Upham a
window transparency inscribed OLD ABE
S. L. WilkinsOns book store was illuminated
with oolored tissue and flags, and John Jack
sons store with lamps. The Offices of DR..
Hall and DR.. Harmon, and the ambrotype
gallery of 7, Shaw, with flags. The estab-
lishments of H. Washborn, A. Williams, w.
c. Waldron, W. H. Palmer, e. WaldrOn, r.
W. Goodwin, J. Lamson, II. A. Robinson,
were all Illuminated, and the EgglsstOn Ho-
tel and Bayard Hotel were in blaze, and
the Shoe Peg Factory of c. Force displayed
400 lights.
The residences Of r. Callicat, o. c. Bull
ard, S. X. Collins, Mrs. Freeman, A. G. Viii
liams, j. ". Harmon, G.. G. Norris, G. Bull

r. W. Goodwin, R. Smith, D. w. Branch, b.
F. Brown, T. Randall, Vim. G. Hall, Mr..
Fleming, and the Millinery Shop Of Mrs D.
c. Gates, were lighted at every pane.
As the column reached the residence Of J.
W. Williams, Roman candles were burned in
the yard. The house was not only lighted,
but in the doorway were displayed beautiful
arrangement Of house plants, with a large
mirror inscribed Lincoln and Hamlin, sur
mounted with a veritable lire rooster.
The crowd gathered from the villages and
adjoining townships was addressed from the
balcony Of the Buckeye store by the Hon. J.
4. Garfield, Of the Ohio Senate, one of ma
ture's noble ones, who gave such review OF
the nlHLOIl OF tue DaAANClAtlC purity AAANA
| its slaveOcratic leaders and the double dealing
Of the Little Giant in particular, that the
little that is left here Of the two wings Of De-
mocracy got mad, the only thing they could
do unless they should become honest and
vote for Lincoln.
After the speech and the supper at the Ho-
tel, the Wide Awakes marched 10 the resi-
dsnoe of Hon. Q. 7. Blakeslee, which was
/ lighted to blaze aud decorated with flags al
every window, and on the balustrade and top
of the house. Bonfres lighted the beautiful
| yard and grove, and Roman candles and blue
/ lights and star mines burned in every corner.
As the Wide AWakes entered the yard they
were greeted with hearty welcome in a
short speech from our Representative, and
then went up three hearty cheers for him and
his lady. They then returned TO the village,
where short speeches and stirring ones were
called out, after which all retired satisfied
th It asome things can Be done Gs tUaH as 9th
ers' In the oolsltTy as well as in the city.
The Wide Awakes here are doing good
work under their noble Captain Hall. They
were out last week to Solon and Twinsburgh,
and tomorrow night they 60 to Aurora, and
then to Bainbridge, and so they arc fulfilling
their mission till Old Abe is elected as they
know he will be Of course. And then fol
