cmLncorur, O., August le
The Democracy Of this city we're favored
with a speech from your talented Representa-
tive IN Cougrrss-Hon. G Il vnfASprcHaw
-last night TO the people Of your section
Il is unnec, ssary to say anything in praise Of
bis effort, for they have heard him SO ofen,
and know him so well, that they know he
don't make poor speeches While the citizens
of this place never before had the pleasure Of
hearing him, though there are but few who
have not heard Of him, and know him by rep
utation as "the man who beat LEW CAMP
BEti," which, considering Laws reputation
here for sagacity, oratory and craftsmanship,
is no mean compliment
The Hall was crowded at an early hour, by
men Of all parties. ORLAND SMITH, Esq, was
chosen Chairman, and in brief and pertinent
speech introduced your distinguished Repre-
sentative to the crowd Throwing aside all
efforts at display, he proceeded calmly and
thoroughly to discuss the great issues depend.
ent upon the result Of the coming election.
He reviewed the pretended conservatism Of
the Republican party, and proved to the salts
faction Of all impartial men, that it was a
claim which had no foundation in truth He
exposed the course of the Republican leaders
in this State, aud with indisputable evidence
fastened the charge of negro equality upon
them He urged union and harmony among
the conservative people Of the country in op-
position to LINCOLN, and demonstrated how
easily and how surely with such union Mr.
LINCOLN would be defeated Mr. V. spoke
for about three hours, and i but speak the
common sentiment of the Democrats here,
when | say Il was the best and most effective
Democratic speech they have had the pleasure
of listening TO, for many year. All sincere
ly trust that the Democrats of the Third Dis
trict will be successful in returning him to
Congress, for he cannot but prove an honor
and a credit to any State and any people
This is the day for the BEII.-EvERETT State
Convention. Quite large number of de e.
gates came in on the trains last night and
the prospect is that they will have very fair
Convention in point of numbers, and more
than an average one in point of ability and
enthusiasm What they will do, there is, OF
courses no telling at this hour, e o'clock A.
M, } yet the feeling on all hands seems to he
gaining in favor of allowing the Democratic
candidate for Supreme Judge,-Mr, SMITH, Of
your city,-a fair and square race with the alb
oltionist BRlNKERHoFF-in favor of making
the vote on these two men, the test vote Of
the strength Of the conservative and abolition
parties in Ohio. This doubt not, is the feel
ing of a large majority of the Union men who
are in attendance here. Others, it is but just
tn say, favor straightout tickets from begin
ming to end Electoral, State, District and
County
Among the prominent men already here
areJ ScorT HARRISON, W. b. PRoBAsco, Il.

will send up this morning large delegation
accompanied by banners, bands, and cannon
rhe Republican press which has been SO free
toindulge in sneer and ri-dicule whenever re
ferring to the BELI-EyEEerr party will fine
out their error before this day work is done
The prospects of the democracy for carry
ing both this county and District this fall ar,
exceedingly good
