Probably the most Mat ked feature of the cur
rem, political events during tho past week is the
mania for ioirlpg Wide-Awuke clubs a1nung
the Republicans. From every county, and
nearly every township, We hear reports Of tie
organization Of these companies. They have
were the first collection Of organized rarty
feeling i'll the State, and the actire local eIurts
OF the campaign are left mainly tn their hands
lu Marion county, under the influence Of the
club 1T indianapolis. seine four Wi1c-Awake
companies have been fo:nled IN the townships,
and the whole force OF tie organization tn The
county is neariv or quite ltu' men. In North
cEn Iudilna there is Il COMPANY at ueariv every
cross roads, mad there are more D! tueul IN
Southern Indians than there were clubs OF all
kinds iu 1856. The Douglas men arc also en-
gag d in making ORGANIZATIONS, but not nearly
80 actively as their opponents.
Qn,ic MI cxcitin. time has been experienced
in Northern Indiana during the past week, in
tae way OF meetings. Hon. Caleb u Smith

they were surrounded by crowd Of cookbook

mong them was fine.looking and intelligent

NJ. Seward, who finally recognizing him, reached
out his hand, saying, "Why William, what are
you doing here? thought yon were still
living with Senator Toombs." ooh no, Mr..
Seward" was the mans reply, 81 passed seven
sessions at Washington, and thought that
would rrstica,e little" "Well, William" said
Gov. Seward, If Senator ToOmbs catches you
again, he will punish yOu terribly, not so much
for running awav, IA for shaking hands with me.
Al which the man displayed most remarkable

Nr. Orr of Mississippi, a brother OF Mr.. ex.

are Senator Toombs' man-you ran away from

THE cls>ls.E horn, tney come, they come -
The Albany .Jour,dk saws: At the rate the
Germans are coming over TO Republcanism in
the West, there will hardly be left one to tell the
tale of their departure in the Democratic ranks.
In Indiana, Charles Conion, prominent German
Democrat, and no longer than last month mar
shall of a Douglas procession, has, in company
with twelve Others, declared for Lincoln. In one
township OF Ripley county, Ind, no less than
fifty German recruits are on the rolls of the Re-
publican club. This is in the 4th (Holman's s.
District, and the Republicans are confident OF
carrying it this year.
On II edncsslay evening, there was an immense
gathering OF German Republicans mt Toledo,
Ohio. Mr.. iIassaureck addressed tn them a
speech two hours and twenty minutes in length.
After the meeting there was fine parade of the
Wide Awakea.
Unquestionably the largest and most cnthusi-
astlc political meeting ever seen in Iowa assem-
bed at Des Moines on the 4th inst. Ten thou
sand Republicans were there. During the after
noon there was speaking from two stands; in
the evening from three.
At the Republican mass meeting in St. Clair
county, ILL.,, among the banners borne in the
procession was one" Here are the Democrats
of 1856" after which followed large party OF
men who voted for Buchanan but will now vote
for Lincoln.
The Wide-Awaies of Indianapolis, Indiana,
offer splendid flag to the largest company Of
Wide Awakes that shall attend parade in that
city on the Goth inst, the day OF their State
Convention. Wide-Awakc Clubs are rapidly
forming all over that State.
Here is another startling discovery. The
Washington tPa.) Examiner has discovered that
the Wide-Awakc organization is military or.
ganizaiion, intended To invade the South. Wha,
else can it be for it asks? 1t is evident that the
editor of the Examiner is not wide awake he
is talking in his sleep.
A prominent Bell paper in Georgia has an arti
Gle entitled "no entangling alliances" in which
the idea of forming an alliance with either wing
of the Democracy is foutcd as base abandon
mcnt Of principle.
