Mr.. EDlToR-Dear Sir: Being in Mt
Pleasant yesterday, propose giving you an
idea of the grand rally of Republicans, which
was made here then My information i.
about correct, at least, as near so as possible
EARLY in the morning, three large flags were
hoisted at different corners of the square. :,
Pretty soon the delegations began to arrive
from different places. About 10 o'clock q
procession of Wide Awakes and wagons was
formed to parade through the city They
then marched through the principal streets
with music, flags, and banners. Thirty,
three small girls were appropriately dressed
riding in wagon. The same number Of
young ladies role horses, holding banners
bearing the names of all the States and Kan
sas. TIL, Kansas banner had this motto,
Abraham will take me to his BOSOM" AT
about 2 o'clock the speaking commenced
Mr.. 0. Fl. Browning, of His, was introduced
and spoke with telling effect. Before h, had
done it began to rain, but the crowd called
vehemently for him to proceed, which he did
to the tearing down of the strongholds of
democracy. He concluded amid shouts of
applause, his eloquent, able and unabusive
address. There was speaking in other places
by Senator Grimes, Mr.. Wilson, and Mr..
Gue,ly. In the evening the Wide-Awake
companies paraded to the number of SO
They brought up after parade in front of the
stand when Mr. Wo,f, of Ills, was loudly
called for. He arose and delivered one of the
finest speeches ever heard. The audience
of over 1000 listened to and applauded him
for one hour and quarter, amid rain, wind
and thunder After he hal concluded, Mr..
Warren, Of Nebraska, was introduced, and
gave popular sovereignty its final blow
He showed its practical workings from his
experience in tn, territory, AMI returned his
sincerest thanks to democracy foi its "pre-
tended tender sympathies" for the "dear
people," but as they were about old enough
he though they would take the privilege of
entrusting their concerns into the hands of
better guardians. He thought that although
they had beer poor. and despised, Abraham
wonld soon take them to his BOSOM" The
people rs near as could count from the seats
they occupied, amounted to 5000. Some
say eight or ten thou sand, others twelve, but
| think 5000 will include ALL The gates all
through the city were arched over with ever.
greens and flowers. Taking all together it
was grand display, and many who were
slumbering and no doubt some who were
opposed to republican principles will be rous-
ed by the bu ming e.oquence and irresistible
logic of the speakers to cast their vote for
odd Abe" Yours truly,

Vote for Curtis a. the Hom a.:eac.

The only way t" get homestead l,.w is to
vote for Gu. tbs and the Republican ticket
The Democrats, both factions, have left it out
Of their platforms; they vote against it al
most TO man, and the President vetoes it
if it passes Congress. The reason is plan.
The South are deadly hostile to the Home
stead, and what can thu Democracy do with
out the South Vote then for Curtis, and
you vote directly for Homestead law Cole
is trying to deceive the people by pretend
ing to be for the Homestead, because his
party hav. a resolution for it in their State
platform Congress, and not the Stat. of
Iowa, must pass on that question.

New YORK, Sept l6.-The Breckinridge
State Committee publishes an address to-
morrow, giving their statement of the recent
negotiations with the Douglas Committee
They say: Our candidates will be supported
by all the energy and means at our command.
The Douglas organizations in rejecting the
only means by which the State could be
prevented from voting for Lincoln, has r.
duced the practical question between the
Democrats Of New York in the coming cleo
ton to one of future organization only by
voting for Breckingrdge and Lane The
National Democrats would not only sustain
the principles of their party and preserve a
nucleus about which will be formed a nation
al party in the State, but will encourage
their friends all over the Union, and be re.
ceived and honored in the next National
Convention Of Democrats instead of being re-
jected and despsed as they surely will be if
they present themselves upon this platform
Of Squatter Sovereignty in company with
their new allies. They charge the Douglas
faction in The State with having produced
the present difficulty in tie party and with
persi tency, refusing to allow their adjust
ment and say that Squalter Sovereignty is
bu: another form of Republicanism, and con.
clude by recommending the formation OF
campaign clubs and active measures for
bringing our whole vote to the polls in No.

SYRACUSE. Sep. ls.-Douglas arrived here
Saturday from Clifton Springs. Upon his
arrival here and during the day he has been
the recipient ofhonors. He spoke yesterday
p. m. to a crowd Of over $4,000 people, as
sembled in a five acre lot. His speech en-
braced some new arguments on points not
before, touched upon by him. He explained
that the difference between popular sover-
eighty and squatter sovereignty, was that
the latter is outside the Constitution, and in
rebellion against the Federal Government,
while popular sovereignty is inside the Con-
stitution, and in obedience to the federal au.
thority. .......
In answer to a Republican, he stated that
Jefferson was Minister to France when the
ordinance of 1887 was adopted, and knew
nothing of it till afterwards, and that Jeffer.
sons plan for the government of the terrific.
ries, which was adopted in 1884, was the
fullest recognition of the rights of popular
sovereignty.
