DEMOCRATIC RATIFICATION
MEETING-TORCHLIGHT PRO-
CESSION-TELLLNG SPEECHES
= GREAT ENTHUSIAST.

On Tuesday evening of last week, a
crowd collected in front of the court
house to hold meeting to ratify the nom
nation of Douglas. No bills ha6 been
printed, and no efforts made for getting a
crowd-it was spontaneous out pouring
of the people. A larger crowd was as
sembled than we ever saw at meeting
here, except upon some extraordinary oc-
casion.
Z A tar-barrel was set on fire in the pub
lie square, by which torches were lighted to
the number of hundred and twenty FIVE
or hundred and fifty. A large share
of the crowd were without torches, q
sufficient number not having been pre-
pared. A procession was formed, headed
by the German Brass Band. Next came
the transparencies: Among the notices
were the following:
douglas the peoples favorite."
"The people shall rule"
, "Ohio good for 10000 majority for
Douglas"
"Monroe good for $1,000"
douglas and our whole country"
"Ohio plunder fund increased $780,.
OOO."
: "Down with fire. eaters and fanatics
''The Democracy, the only truly ma
tional party"
"Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania,
New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa, California, Oregon, and
the whole South for Douglas"
A large boot was painted on one of the
transparencies, with the prices which it
is said the government paid for Lincoln s
boots, and beneath was the word "sta'
tionery," to which was the signature OF
"a. Lincoln "
On another was painted Lincoln on 9
rail, being toted by a couple of darkies
The procession marched to Washington
street and returned back in front of DR.
Sinclair's residence and Judge Ways
Office, both of which were brilliantly illu
minated, where three rousing cheers wer.
given. After coming back to the squar,
the torches were piled up, three cheer
given, and all hands went to the court
house steps to hear w. P. Richardson
and j. r. Morris speak.
We will not attempt to give even al
abstract of the speeches, but 1t was th
prevailing opinion that neither of tn
gentlemen had ever made better speecl
in his life. Both were cheered over an,
over again. No meeting that was eve
held here exhibited one.half such enthu
siasm. 1t took the Republicans. who col
Ilected in little squad short distanc
from the crowd, completely aback. The
expec.ed to see the Democracy dishearten
cd because few fre-eaters bolted at th
Democratic Convention, but they found
more jealous and enthusiastic party tina
they ever met before.
This was the first gun for this count,
and it confirms our conviction that Doug
lass will get at least two thousand majol
it3 in this county.

Severe Storm.


-snOn Saturday night, . storm passed over
this region, such as has not been witnessed
for ten years. The lightning and thunder
were terrific. The flashes of lightning
followed each other SO closely, that one
might have read by the light without in
corruption, and the thunder never ceased
for an hour The rain fell in torrents,
and the streams were higher than ever
known before, except in 1850. We have
not Learned the extent of the damage.
The low grounds generally were over
flowed, washing. off the crops and the
fences. r. Several mill-dams were washed
ont and the frame of the new mill erected
by Richners, on Sun6sh creek, was carried
of.

ORGANIZED Organizell

Democrats, go to work. Organize in
every township and school district, Very
few persons appreciate properly the great
advantage of thorough organization. Let
some active Democrat in every neighbor-
hood go 10 work at once. Fix upon some
Saturday evening, call your neighbors ,o-
gether, and appoint officers. Get up a
pledge to support Douglas, and get the
names Of your neigkbors to it. If you
want any person to address you, write to
the chairman of the Democratic Central
Committee. at this place, and you shall be
accommodated.
Do not undervalue the Importance of
this, because it is so easy to accomplish.
The effect of thorough organization is
immense, and will astonish those who have
not witnessed its effects at the election.
Go to work, Democrats. Let every one
feel.
As though himself were he
On whose sole arm hung victory.
The Republicans are at work, and will
rally out every voter they have, and will
deceive every Democrat they can into
their party. Let no Democrat be idle,
