A Republican mass meeting was held in this place
Yesterday. The concourse of well-dressed intelligent
looking orderly people was immense. / have not
witnessed 70 large gathering in this county for many
years, although l have seen some monsters of the
kind. In the afte noon, Col. Curtin our candidate
for Governor spoke in The beautiful grove west of the
town. His speech was decidedly successful effort
His style was chaste and plain, his topics well chosen
his voice excellent, and his manner graceful and
spirited He was followed by Mr.. Campbell in a neat
address of an hour. Mr.. c. comes from beyond ths
Susquehanna and has heretofore been the most eff.
Gent Democratic lesder in this county This was his
first appearance on the stump for Lincoln and Curtin,
and be gave powerful reasons for the faith that Is in
him." His speech ought to be reported for the special
benefit of his quondsm friends still laboring in the
dark ways of mo|ern Democracy. MIR. Hickman
spoke next and rveted the attention of the audience
for an hour and thirty minutes. much of which he de-
voted TO vivid commentary on the political dema-
gogaism Of Mr.. Douglas. There were full fifteen
hundred ladies present, all interested listeners.
In the evening there most brilliant torch light
proct ssion, which, accompanied by fine display of
fireworks, passed through the principal streets of the
town. AS it passed, number of the houses were u-
minated, and the large body of WideAwakes, consti-
tupg the procession, were repeatedly cheered by the
citizens. Several telling speeches made from the
balcony of McClelands hotel where Mr.. Curtin stop
ped. Among them were those Of Mr. Casey, OF iiar-
risburg, Mr.. McVeagh of this place. Dir. Cofey of
Philadelphia, and Mr.. Cheeseman Of California. Later
in the night there was more speaking in front OF MIR.
Biekmans dwelling, by Col Curtin and Mr.. Hickman.
About midnight the vast assemblage dispersed and III
short time the streets were quiet.
The spirit exhibited on this occasion shows that the
peope of Chester County fully alive TO the import
auce of the pending election, and have made up their
minds that the duty which they owe TO the country and
Il G age as electors shall not be Neglected number
of township meetings ha' been held in this vicinity
since the Chicago Convention and several large clubs
Organized and have doubt that the success OF the
meeting is, in part owing to those circumstances Had
it been week later would have been twice as large,
the oat harvest low at its hight having prevented
many from attending. In this Congressional District
we have generally estimated majority for Curtin
ard Lincoln at COO Since the meeting the estimates
range from twenty TO thirty per cent higher. J.
TIE Qaid Nunc, a paper published at Grand juno
ton Tennessee, has three editors who cannot agree
upon Presidential candidate consequently the journal
supports both Breckenridge and Douglas. The man
ner in which this is done is curious. On page,
edited by Col d. b. Galy and Dr. n. II. Prewitt, are
the names Of Douglas and johnson, under the head
National Democratic Ticket, together with para
graph stating that the other side of the paper is sepa
rate and distinct institution, with which they have
nothing to do. Turning to this other side, edited by
r. G. Adams, the reader finds the names OF Brecsin-
ridge and Lane, with the heading "Only True Ma
tiopal Democratic Ticket and the following para
graph:
dread Both SIDEsl-The outside of this paper is
separate and distinct department under the editorial
contIol of ID. b. GaLy and DIR. N. II. ewltt, VINO
advocate the cause Of Douglas and johnson in this
Presidential Campaign"
"A CORES pondent writes from New-Albany, lnd
that neither Breckenridge Bell has any show in
that vicinity and that, although the Douglas men are
hard at work among the Germans they have lost their
influence. He says, also, that nine-tenths OF those
who voted for Fillmore in 1856, will vote next Novem-
Der for Lincoln and Hamlin
1t is definitely understood that Gov. Seward will
address the Republicans of Minnesota, at ST. Paul, on
the 18th Of August next.
The Republicans Of Clifton Springs, N. Y, held an
enthusiastic meeting on the oath inst, and organized
Lincoln and Hsmlin Club
