Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1860-05-23

On the announcement Of "OLD ARE's'
naminatioR, Friday noon by telegraph, we
Immediately had all the banners in town fly-
ing A salute of 100 guns was fred and
the bells of the city were rung most of the
afternoon. Yen could tell Lincoln from
Douglas man with unerring certainty. In
fact It was rare 70 meet a Douglasite, as the
lightning shock perfectly paralyzed them.--
Now and then one Of the bOldest would pro-
trnde his phiz TO take observations; but, like
the yrosaa hogs on the l4th of February, they
Invariably saw their shadows and went to
their holes again.
Rarly in the evening there was "a large col
lection gathered ct the State House Rotrmda,
q where enthusiastic speeches were made and an
Indefinite amount Of cheering done with the
widest enthusiasm. AT 8 o'clock in the
evening, procession of two thousand march
q nom the Capitol to Mr.. LINcoLNs house.
- When he made his appearance on hsbaleopy
o along, loud and continuous shout went up,
and il was many minutes before the crowd
would allow him to speak. He was frequent
y interrupted by uproarous cheers. His
d speech was short and appropriate, and was
full of good feeling and warm interest for
the great cause.
He closed by saying that if his house was
big enough to hold one tenth part they should
all be invited in at once; as it was, he invited
~ As many as could get in. A voice cried out
'sWetwilI give you a larger one on the 4th Of
.a Aareh.a warm exchange Of congratula-
tons was carried on till all were satisfied, and
= =lds man Of the people was left 10 rest for a
little season.
- On Saturday We had tte time. At half
g |pastfYe P. N. an immense crowd marched
fon the Capitol to the depot 10 meet the
Chicago Committee As the special train
sPproaeheda a salute was fired, but was com
pletely drowned by the volcano shouts that
N5dt up for eve minutes The procession
H95fkz6 formed headed by twelve men
s. Iearrying ra5ls ike mnskets, on their
shoulders. Several bands Of music were in
tsrspersed in the procession Of four thousand
people Eho escorted the Committee to the
CaeneEy House for refreshments
Oftbe call Of the Committee upon Mr.. Lin
==eOln= you have been posted. Speeches were
g.H made in tle vicinity Of the Court House by
members Of the visiting COMMITTEES. The
speeehes took down everything I ever heard
tor earnestness and aptness. First young
German, from Cincinnati full Of that ardOi

Then came Hon. D. K. CARTTER, Of Cleveland
and Of sil the side splitting speeches his was
the most perfect After him came Hon. AMO:
Trek, of New Hampshire. His effort was full

Las 70 a point he has jet black hair, anC
eyes that sparkle with light He has deep
musical voice that made the old Representa-
i've Hall ring. Then came Judge KANE, o

% commence for fear they would hiss him
because he came from the same State tha
james Buchanan lived in n His speech wa
q perfect model in its way. Mr.. EyART, {
New York, followed, but I did not renal
longer. From sundOwn to midnight was on
continuous roar of cannon, roll Of music an
play of fireworks.
Lincoln viii run like wildfre here. IfyO
should meet him in the streets you would nC
Pistrust his greatness but when you kno'
him it is different He is plain and unassuu
ing, familiar with the commonest and o
uzalsy terms with the highest, but never descend
to a low, mean act or word. Never goes int
aEhisky shop or utters an oath. In thes
regards he isa contrast with a certain prom
inent Illinois politician.
