speech from Mr. Jordan, they started OF in
double-quick time for Dayton. The McPher-
seutown boys aud a considerable number Of
democrats from different par,r ofthe country
and the city, joined in, and the procession as
It reappeared on Main street from he Depot
numbered IN the ncighborhood Of 1000 men.
There was never any thing before attemp-
ted here like the procession ofSaturday night
As II passed up Main street. succession Of
cheers rending the air, II seemed like a grand
and mighty triumphal procession Of the sur
yiving heroes Of a campaign, or like an army
confident of victory, and anxiously awaiting
to be led upon their foes And the opposition
felt the full force Of the blow They saw
their doom written in characters Of fire,
and they looked crushed and spritless They
could not speak Of the matter without gasping
for breath The thing is all up with en-"
and they might as well draw Off those spectre
Wide-Awakes Of theirs who have given to
their movements the appearance Of a funeral,
which is doubtless proper enough when we
consider how soon they will need the consola-
tions of professional mournersl
Away went the douglas mem along their
line of march, cheers answering cheers from
every side. while "hurrah for Little Doug T.
and "hurrah for yALLw resounded along the
whole line. Onward rushed that brilliant line
of torches with their ftful and rollieking
glare ablaze adown and up the streets Of Or
egonl What lighting up and shaking up Of
the dark corners, and what an illuminating
of unusual precincts, and enthusing of shakey
Democrats, during that march Confidence
was impaired TO the wayering; and the column
moved on until il was dismissed on Jefferson
street in front of The Rancho, when the
finishing touches we're put on the dedication
of the new frame building just dedicated to
the Democracy.
No one could have mistaken the triumphal
march of the Democracy through the streets
of Dayton on Saturday night, August 25th,
1860 as funeral procession And when
halt was called, could any one, no matter
hoio mean, have supposed that the crowd did
not want to hear Mr. Vallandigham speak
They didn't call Tor him, did they They
only roared And that roar, taken up and
carried spontaneously along the line until it
swelled into tumult almost deafening, il in
dicated-didu't it2 Q)-that "Vall would get
whipped out of his boots l'--ha Ia ! hal ha
this fall OH haw haw haw Why, those
yells for Vail fairly drove the soul every
SAM man down his throat
After the storm of applause had somewhat
subsidized, Mr.. Vallandigham made one of his
telling speeches If any one is at a loss for
definition, we beg to refer him to the "signs
of the times" on the occasion. We would
like to give an epitome of all the speeches
made on the occasion, but we have not the
space.
) II. B, WILSON, Esq of Missouri, was ascer-
tanned to be present, and storm was raised
, for him He appeared on the stand, and gave
us one of those 'go ahead, boys speeches
} which set everything into hurrah
: Hon Geo W. Houk was then loudly called
: for, and came forward amid a very hurricane
: of enthusiastic cheers He made the best
little speech we ever heard him make and
r that is saying a great deal, and the highest
d compliment we can think of now. He was in
n most excellent humor-as indeed we're his
: thousands of listenersl-and the rest can be
d conceived E. S. Williams Esq, Father
) Pierce, of Fairfield, Judge Baggott, and 9th
ers addressed the vast crowd in the best and
most effective style. Old Mr. Pierce gave us
an old-fashoned talk, and showed the fire oi
his younger years. But we have said enough
for the present. The dedication was tre-
mendipus affair, and was the glorious begin
ming of victorious endl
The Hamilton Boys did some very tall
g shooting on Saturday night They wound up
n the evenings jollifcation in roar which
y caused tremor in the opposition camp. The
n general feeling is that the matter is closed up;
n the Republicans are gone up" and there is
e no use squirming!
