EDTTOR LKApKR: Laet night was night Of
jollifeation among the students who assem-
bled, and, backed by the Inhabitants Of the
place, marched Through the principal streets
Of Kingsyille in grand torch-light PrOces-
sion, in honor Of the nomination Of Mr..
Lincoln as the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. Previous to the marching, the
ordnance Of the town spoke in thunder
tones, prOclailning 10 theinhabi.ants of ad-
joining towns, that .KIngsVile i0as aroused;
that the inhabitants, among whom we're the
students, had bueklsd on the armor Of Re
publicanism, and were prepared to assist in
pulling down The already decayed Democrat
ic sdifes, and in rearing over its ruins the
noble edi6ce Of Republicsnism. At half
past eight in the evening, each man in the
prOeession-whieh consisted Of all Of the
Students in the school but tiOO--being sup
piled with a torch, the company moved from
the Academy grounds in fine style, headed
by the Kingsville Brass Band, and trans
parsney bearing the words, " Abe Lincoln,
the Little Giant Killer The Constitution, as
our fathers made Il; Hon, H. Hamlin, the
peoples man Jefferson in I576, and Lincoln
in 1850" Having tEaversed ell Of the prinei-
pa streets Of the place, cheering as they
marched, for Lincoln and Liberty, the pro
cession drew up in front Of the speakers
stand, erected on the south side Of the Pub
lie Square, where large bonfire was kindled,
and listened 10 some excellent speeches from
the Principal Of the Academy, and two Of
the students. During the speaking, one of
Douglas adherents attempted to get up a
cheer for the Little Giant, but was met with
groans and Kisses. After the speaking, three
cheers were given for Lincoln and three
groens for the DemocFacy In short, the little
town Of Kingsville was never before % thor
oughly awake on the subject Of liberty. Not
onlv the male portion Of the inhabitants and
students were aroused, but the snthusiasra
was 50 general that ladies waved their hand
kerchiefs, thus participating a. much as they
were able, in the movement.
send YOU this that you may
contradict Ehe article that appeared IN
tbe Plain Dealer few weeks ago under the
beading, "KinEsyills Academy al Right for
Douglas" which stated that one evening az
ter . formal adjournment Of . game Of ball
in which the students had been engaged, 4
cheer for Douglas was proposed, and that
hearty ehear was given; but when cheer
was proposed for Seward, not 9 dog opened
his mouth. The editor Of the Plain Dealer
arrived ct eonelusicn from this which is
not true. The cheer in question was given
BY parcel OF boys who were IL 10 tca1 con
neesed with the school, aud It was given
more for the novelty of ths thing than for
any expression Of Sentmspt. Tia poiitieal
feeling, both among the 6tudsnts and inhab.
tants, is slmost unanimous IN fsvor Of Re
publicanism, e vas fully demonstrated bv
