Ras never tefore been a period in

below, and in moment the city of

fah for Douglas" was repeated from
TO lip from one end of the city to the
Pther, crowds of excited citizens were con.
Fatulating each other upon the glorious
hcws which filled the hearts of the people
with joy, and brought peace to the country.
Before sunset, it became evident that Doug
las had taken the city by storm. One hun
dred guns were fired by Capt HELwIc, the
Times office, American Hotel, Wilson's
Broad Gauge, and other buildings were
splcndidly Illuminated, bonfrcs were blaz-
ing in the streets, hundreds of rockets H.
lumed the sky, fire balls and fireworks of
various kinds were burned, and Main
street, from North to South, was crowded

en- as ever convened on any OCCASION
impromptu meeting was organized in
bnt of the American Hotel, and Robert
2rent, Esq, was called to the chair. Soul
ring speeches were made by Senator
ammer, Doctor Parker, Mayor Bass, Ro-
bert Grant, Judge Baugh, Ex- Mayer Wan
ger, John F. Wright, John I. Stoneman,
and others. Mr.. Stoneman was the candi-
date Of the Republican party for the Legis-
lature in this and Dubuque counties, some
three years ago. He announced that he
had heretofore intended to vote for John
Bell, for President, but that since Judge
Douglas was the nominee of the party he
should cordially support Douglas. The
speeches were all pointed and interrupted
by repeated cheering The meeting broke
up at alatc hour, with three times three
hearty cheers for Douglas, the Constitu-
ton and the Union. Put down the city of
MsGregor for an increased Democratic ma
jorfty, and look out for Democratic thunder
from Clayton County next November.
There is no use of denying the fact, the
sympathies of the great mass of the peo-
pie are with Stephen A. Douglas. He is
the acknowledged champion of popular
right. In defence of the sacred right Of
the people to govern themselves he has
most manfully fought the combined powers
Of the national administration at Washing
ton, the raving secessionists of the South,
and congressional intervcntionists, and John
Brownies at the North. With no desire,
except to maintain the Constitution and
the Union, and the rights of the people, he
has fought-almost single handed-against
the power Of wealth, politicians and pow
crful Administration, and he has always
been victorious. Protested politicians may
plot against him, corrupt leaders may
threaten, Office seekers may frown, and hot
heads at both extremes of the Union may
rave, but the honest, working, thinking,
conservative element of the country, is for
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. They know
him, and they know he is right, that he is
true-true to the whole country-they
know he is just the man for the times, and
they will make him the next President of
the United States.
