The Douglas Democracy of this town
have just passed through trying sceno.--
For two weeks thero had been great efforts
made to get up grand turnout of the
faithful. Huge posters, announcing would-be
Gov. Paine, Olds, Noble, and other "big
guns" Of their party as speakers, were cir
culated all over the county, and the people
far and near were invited to come. The
meeting day was fixed for the 2sth, tho
day that the circus aud mensgerie were to
exhibit. The day came but not the faith.
ful. Large numbers of people were in town,
but they did not 60 near the Court House
where the speaking was to be.
OF all the numerous speakers announced
Payne, we are told, was the only one pres
ont. The Court House where he spoke
was not filled. There could not have been
three hundred who listened to the harangue
Of this model democrat.
The procession, as it passed our Office
was composed of the following teams and
persons, no moro and no less:

Douglas in Tifhn.
The Faithful go away Disap-

The Douglas rally, on Monday, was
decided success, so far as numbers were con-
cerned, but a signal failure in every other
respect. The procession was of respectable
length Cust thirty minutes in passing Civ
en- point, by actual COUNT and presented
many features we could not help admiring
There was four horse team with bells, from
Fostoria. We suppose the "beHs" were in
tended represent the coalition between tho
Douglastes and Know Nothings in New
York. There was company Of horsemen
mostly boys-from Scpio, Reed and Ven
ice, minuseverything but shirt, pants, boots
aud spurs. This VIC took TO be the Doug
las i,yant-ry in search of their mothers who
didn't knowthey were out. They numbered
in all about 1870.
There was another company of infant
ry from Crawford county, numbering in
all about 200. They were a sorry-look-
ing set of fellows, putting us more in mind
of Gov. Wise's cornstalk soldiery than any
thing else.
Altogether, by actual count, there wero
not quite 400 on horseback, although four
times that number were expected from
Crawford co. alone. The whole number
that engaged in the procession, including
horsemen, was about 1000 and il was esti-
mated chat this was about one-tenth part
of the entire crowd. This is fair estimate.
The speech of Douglas fell flat and elici-
ted very little applause. 1t was acknowl-
edged on all hands to be decided failure,
and the people went away disappointed
They expected something new and digni-
fed, not filthy slang and vulgar personal
abuse, which demagogues and small poll
ticians only deal in. Sober, sensible dem
ocrats hung their heads in very shame and
went away disgusted. Many tore off their
badges and declared their determination to
vote for "honest old Abe"
Thus ended the great Douglas show
The people had got enough and some of
them started home. All the other distin-
guished speakers failed TO arrive and the
thing "kind o fizzled out" johnson didn't
come-Payne, Pugh, Olds, Vallandigham,
Montgomery Walker, Toohey, Gibson,
Meyer-none Of these were to be found and
the Little Giant was left alone in his glory.
Thus ended the great Douglas demon
stration in Tiffin. Another such would
end locofocoism in this county.-Ti6in Tri6.

Rev. DR.. T. NJ. Eddy, editor of the
Northeastern Christian AdvoeGte, one of
the official papers of tho Methodist Church
NORTH has addressed a spirited letter to
President Buchanan, recounting tho perse.
cutions Of Methodists in Missouri, Arkansas
and other slave States, recently eliminating
in the martyrdom Of Rev. A. Bewley, in
Texas, and asking whether religious free
dom is to be maintained in this country, as
guaranteed by the Constitution. DR., Eddy
closes by stating what the Methodists de-
maud Of the government, as follows:
"We insist upon protection in the exer-
ciso of our constitutional rights--liberty of
conscience, speech and press. We insist
upon it that our recorded sentiments on the
question of slavery shall not work prac-
tical forfeiture Of our citizenship. We de-
mand the protection of the courts. If any
of our people offend the majesty Of the
law, there are courts of justice and officers
of tho law; let there be full fair and i'm
tial trial. and we will be content. We bow
to the laws. If unjust and oppressive, we
will attempt in all lawful ways, TO secure
their repeal. 1t becomes, sir, a question

We are always anxious to know the re-

Another FaIsehood.

The Black Republican Press constantly
charge Douglas with saying that "He did
not care whether slavery was voted up OF
down." They know he never said it. He
said he was determined to send the Lecomp-
ton Constitution back to the people, without
regard to the election then in progress under
it, and so far as sending il back was concern
ed, he did not care whether they voted it
up or down, ne would send it back anyhow
The onl y reason why they lie about our
candidates is, they can't say anything against
them without.-Plain Dealer.
Now just see how the Douglas organ is
given to lying in the cause of its master
There is no getting round this declaration of
Douglas when reported in the Congressional
Globe. 1t is "by authority" When Mr..
Douglas made public in the Senate his OBJ
jections to the Lecompton Constitution on
the 9th of December, 1857, he spoke as fol.
lows:
'But am told on all sides 'oh Just wait
the proslayery clause will be voted down.
That does not obyiate any of my objections;
it does not diminish any them. You have
no moro right to force a Free State Consti.
tuition on Kansas than Slave State Consti-
tuition. IfKansas wants Slave State Con
sttution, she has right to it; if she wants
a Free State Constitution, she has a right
to it. 1t is none of my business which way
the slavery clause is decided. l CARE
NOT WHETHER 1T is VOTED DOWN
OR VOTED UP."- Cong. Globe, 1857.

CHICAGO, Oct. {

CHICAGO, Oct 2.
The weather to-day has been very fine
All the early trains this morning came
loaded with deputations fromth country
towns to attend the Republican demonstra-
ton. Others during the day brought large
accessions to the already largest gathering
Of the kind ever held in this city.
AT half past two Gov. Seward was escor-
ted by nearly 500 Lincoln Rangers to the
Wigwam, which was packed to its utmost
capacity, and large numbers were outside un-
able to gain admittance. A platform was
erected in the street, from which Mr.. Seward
spoke one hour and half.
The meeting in the Wigwam was address
ed by Hon. Owen Lovejoy, Hon. G. B.
Dennis and other prominent Republicans.
1t is impossible to give anything like an ac-
curate estimate of the number in attendance
but it was estimated at from $4,000 to
100000.
The torch-light procession tonight prom
ises to be grand affair, there being from
5000 to 5000 Wide-Awakes present.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The Wide-Awake torch-light procession
tonight is undoubtedly the largest and most
imposing thing of the kind ever witnessed
in Chicago. Unprejudiced spectators esti-
mate the number of torches at 10000.
Throughout the whole length were scattered
portraits of Lincoln, banners, transpareneies
bearing Republican notices, miniature rail
splitters, DC; 43 bands of music were also in
the procession, which occupied one hour in
passing given point.
From the Press and Tribune office rockets
and Roman candles were set off during the
whole time of the passing. Large numbers
ofbuildings along the line of march were
brilliantly illuminted. The fremont House
was handsomely decorated with Chinese Ian
terms, chrysta stars and other devices.
The procession marched through the prin-
cipal streets, which were crowded with peo-
pie, to the Court House yard, where they
were addressed by number of distinguish
ed Republicans.

TIE Civil WAR IN New GRANADA-W
obtain, through our Washington correspond
ent, says the New York Times, some late and
important Intelligence from New Granada.-
1t is affirmed that, in recent conflicts between
the bcIligerent parties, the Government troops
have been successful, and the revolutionary
chief Mosquera, would soon be compelled to
capitulate. We sincerely hope that this news
will be confirmed by the next mail from the
Isthmus. The opponents of the actual Ad-
ministration in New Granada are contendng
for no principle of political liberty, and the
instigator of the movement, Gen Mosquera,
has been prompted to rebel against the con
stituted authorities by no other motive than
that of restless ambition. For many months
the people of New Granda have been kept in
a fever Of excitment by this protracted strug-
gle. Business has been suspended, aud public
revenues tave been diverted from their legiti-
mate channels. Neither party appeared to be
sufficiently powerful to crush its antagonist,
and there was every pro liability that if the
contest were much longer continued the coun.
try would fall prey to worse anarchy than
that which has cursed the neighboring Repub-
lie of Mexico. The friends of New Granada
will therefore, hail with satisfaction any intel
ligence which gives even a hope that these
evils may be avcrted, and that peace may be
restored to people who have had war thrust
upon them by the selfish and reckless ambition
Of political demagogues.
