Eds Empire:-Ye Yesterday was glorious
day for the Democracy of this vicinity. Early
in the afternoon the Democracy began to
gather in from this and adjoining townships
in this County, and quite a Delegation from
Darke county. They came with hickory WI

high, bearing aloft National flags, banners,
portraits of the Little Giant, &c
They soon had mammoth hickory pole
prepared for raising. After everything being
made ready they began TO form into line to

Soon the delegations met amid the most
deafening cheers for Vail and douglas The
whole being formed into line, the procession
marched through the principle streets, and
were greeted with shout after shout by the
hundreds on the streets, and was returned
by the moving mass This over, they proceed

multitude, and the booming of the cannoni

In the evening a stand was erected in the
Public Square, and seats enough to seat sew

ladies, to the number of 1900 to 1000, the
Band playing and the Cannon belching forth
its thunder tones all the while
The meeting was called to order by s. S.

most eloquent and powerful manner, fully
discussing all questions of State and National
policy, which called forth round after round

Altogether it was certainly day long TO
be remembered by the Democracy. The

enthusiastic than l ever saw them before.

by pesterH Representative We consider
it just the position for ieesteyn men, and those

this District--will most cordially endorse and
sustain the man who takes such a position.

We challenge him TO do so, and assure him

entire Republican press of the North at the
time it was delivered,-if he advanced senti

Hi Feeling.

We learn that there is considerable hard
feeling existing on the part Of some of the de
feated candidates towards the Republican Con-
vention which met here on Saturday One of
the prominent candidates for Clerk was nei-
ther backward nor mild tempered at the way,
he asserted, he had been treated in the Con-
vention. Another expressed frequent hints
as to the existence Of a "elique" which had
swindled him out of the nomination. And vet
third was very bitter against some of the
most prominent Republicans hereabouts be-
cause of promises which they had made but to
break

Military championship of Ohio.

We understand that several gentlemen in
terested in the advancement in discipline and
tactics of the military companies of Ohio,
have determined to offer under proper rules
and regulations a GOLD MEDAL to carry
with it the MILITARY CHAMPIONSHIP Of the
State Of Ohio The time of the trial con-
test to be placed far enough in advance to
give all companies the opportunity Of perfect
ing their drill and competing for the Champ
onship This is splendid idea, and will
make an excitement among the military. Who
can and who will win the Champion Gold

Tor the Emplre.l
Pole Raising at Centrevllle.

CESrREviLLr, Aug 18th, 1860.
Els, Empire,--The largest Democratic
meeting ever held IN this township was held
hore on last Saturday afternoon A large and
very heavy hickory pole had been brought
upon the ground with the expectation Of rails
ing II upon this occasion. When, however,
the Republicans who had congregaied to wit.
ness the raising, saw the size Of the pole and
took into consideration is great weight, they
con TO the conclusion that the Democracy
could not muster force enough 10 raise il. and
consequently we're in ecstacies in view Of
such result BIT by the time every thing
was ready for the raising to begin, such large
crowds Of the Democracy Of this and Van
Buren township came pouring into town. as to
completely c blast the hopes Of the Republicans,
and 10 cause the Democracy 10 'glory in
their strength" The signal being given, up
went the pole with as much apparent ease MS
an angler raises his fishing rod. The pole is
lO2 feet long without being spliced, and is
composed Of very tough timber, which is EN-
blematic Of the Democratic party. The flag
is beautiful one, upon which is Inscribed the
names Of our standard bearers, Dou0LAs and
JOHNSON, together with thirty-three glorious
stars, which are also emblematic of the ma
tonality of the Democratic party. A large
rooster Of the Shanghai breed was placed
near the top Of the pole, TO remain there as
an emblem Of the victory to be achieved by
the Democracy in the present contest
= AS soon as the pole was raised and well So
cured, DIR. JAMES introduced Il. S. WILLIAMS,
Esq, Of Dayton to the audience, who procee-
ded to address the meeting for near on hour
in a humorous, but argumentatiye style upon
the political questions Of the day. Mr. VS.
remarks were well received, and vociferously
applauded
Mr., WILLIAMS was followed by SAM j. HEN
DERsOS, Esq, of Dayton, and p G. LoNa, IT,,
Of Van Buren township both of whom made
short but effective speeches.
The best Of feeling prevailed at this meet
ing, and the enthusiasm was Unprecedented
in the annals Of political meetings in this
township.
Yours, truly, FULroN.

EnthusIasul OF the Masses.


The New York Daily Nescs, which strongly
opposed the nomination Of Mr.. Douglas, now
says that no candidate, with the exception Of
jackson, ever inspired so much enthusiasm
IL says
"onr exchanges are filled with the records
OF popular demonstrations and popular move
ments in favor Of the Democratic nominee
Douglas meetings, Douglas clubs, Douglas
societies, Douglas committees, Douglas sere-
nades, Douglas excursions, Douglas balls,
Douglas hops, Douglas entertainments; Doug
las dinners and Douglas speeches are all the
go at present They spring spontaneously
from the people themselves, and cannot be
be repressed They speak the same voice
that was heard on the hills of New England
and the rich bottom lands of New York2that
walked up the echoes of the Alleghanies. and
rolled over the prairies Of the West and rich
savannahs of the South in 1882; and, in ad-
dition thereto, it now takes far wider Wes-
tern sweep, and also winds along the distant
golden shores of California, the far off Ore
gon, and cheers the hearts of the miners in
the passes and on the hlLsides of the Sierra
Nevada"
In conclusion it adds:
"Pass through the streets of the city and
along our numerous wharves, and converse
with thousands ofhonest laborers, those who
earn their bread by the sweat of their brows,
and they will tell you almost to man that
they are for Douglas.
Converse with our hundred thousand mer-
chants, their clerks and employees, as they
meet in their reading and club-rooms, or
around their own hresides and very large
majority will tell You they shall cast their
votes for Douglas, Converse with our two
thousand policemen, and the ten thousand
clerks and laborers in the public offices of our
city, in the Custom house and Navy yard, and
as far as they dare express an opinion il is in
favor of Douglas Then go to our numerous
ship yards, and among our sailors and boat
men, and into our ten thousand manufactur-
ing establishments, and listen to the deep
affirmative response that comes upat the very
mention of the name of Douglas"
