Hon. CassIns Nj. CIaY.

The announcement in the Journal this
morning, that the above gentleman would
reach here on the S:45 train on his way to
Tiain, and would perhaps make some re,
marks, had the effect of drawing together a
crowd of about 100 at the depot; where, after
waiting a short time, it was learned that Mr..
CLAY had already reached here, and was at
the Philips House; however, as it was stated
that he would shortly be down to take the
cars for Tifin, most of the crowd waited.
The most noticeable feature of the crowd
was, that almost every other man in it was a
candidate for nomination for som Office be-
fore the Republican County Convention.
About Is minutes previous to the starting of
the train, the expected gentleman made his
appearance, and Notwithstanding some calls
for "CLAY," "a speech" &c, he proceeded
leisurely to the office, purchased his ticket,
and started for the cars, when the calls were
renewed. Stepping on to the platform, Mr..
CLAY said, gracefully lifting his hat;
81 thank you, gentlemen, for this compli-
hlehL IL Woulu not De proper Tor me TO make
n political speech here; however, | will en-
deayor TO give you some cheering news. For
the last three weeks / have been canvassing
the State of Indiana-that portion of il which
has heretofore been against us, where the Fill
more strength was located. There will be
no "Union" ticket there this time, if there is,
there will be no voters. Where we had one
vote in 1856, we shall now have Ten where
we had hundreds we shall now have hous-
sands, Indiana has been regarded as a doubt
ful State / do not think it is any longer the
people there; as everywhere else, are going
for FREMoET, mean LINCOLN. Indiana is as
certain for us, as Ohio, which you know zoe
regard as o. X. Again | thank you"
This was the speech-the iohOIe speech.
All we have TO say is, that if Indiana is no
more certain for "old ABE" than the Buck
eye State, Mr.. CLAY would, perhaps, have
done better for his party not to have left it
The present indications-the multitude of
changes which are taking place in this State
against LNcON,-render it more than proba-
BILE that even the cry which has gone up from
the Ohio Republicans, of
"Help us, Cassius, or we sink"
will not prevent this State from going for the
"Tittle Giant"

The GREAT DEMONSTRATION FOR DouGLAs
Ann JOHNSON AT SPRINGFGELD.-The Spring
field (%Illinois) correspondent of the St. Louis
Republican, in giving an account of the late
tremendous Democratic meeting in that place,
says:
GRAND PROFESSIONALISM undertaking that
proved to be one of no small magnitude. How
or in what manner it was accomplished, it is
hardly worth while to conjecture; but as we
took a position upon the cupola of the State
house, shortly before ten o o'clock, il became
evident that the procession had been formed,
as it was distinctly visible from the central
portion of the city, on through one of the prin-
cipal streets, and away out upon the prairie
for miles, where it tapered off and was lost to
view in the distance, The procession com
menced moving at about ten o'clock, and the
enthusiasm that prevailed for upward Of two
hours is almost beyond conception. Old vete-
rams who beheld it, and who were familiar
with the demonstrations of 1910, declared that
they never before witnessed such enthusiasm.
While the procession was moving through
the streets there was one continuous roar,
one unceasing shout of "Hurrah for Doug

or ten hardy-looking farmers, and drawn by
two, four, and, in some instances, six horses.
Hickory poles, from thirty to fifty feet in
height, and from the top of which flags and
streamers lloated to the breeze, we're fastened
TO nearly every wagon, and presented an APP
pearance somewhat novel, as viewed from the
cupola Of the State House. The procession
moved with considerable rapidity, and was
over one hour in passing the capitol The en-
thusiasm continued all the while. As each
wagon appeared in sight, renewed cheers we're
given, and the occupants Of the vehicles,
without exception, whirled their hats, whips
and canes wildly in the air, and shouted con
%tinually for the Little Giant" The streets
along which the procession moved were filed
with people, while the windows of private res
licences were filed with the fairer portion Of
humanity, all waving handkerchief and be-
slowing approving smiles. The hickory poles
and the flags floating therefrom constituted
the only noticeable decorations in the process.

was also a large ear filed with young ladies,

Important Arrest OF Counter
letters I'm Cleveland.

At Burton, in Geauga County, on Friday
last, says Friday evenings Cleveland Plain
Dealer, Mr.. Hnckett assisted by Lambert
White and Marshal johnson Of this city, ar
rested II. r. Whitcomb, Samuel b. White
comb, Jesse Boorn and Josiah Dixon. Only
some $500 in base metal was found in their
possession, but there is no doubt that they
have been ring leaders in the gang, and nave
done much toward flooding the West with
worthless money.
There is a strange history connected with
Jesse Boorn, one ofthe men arrested at Bur.
ton. Some forty years ago a cold-blooded
murder was perpetrated in the State of Yer
mont. The murdered man was a brother-in.
law of Boorn, named Cooley, and circumstan-
ces pointed TO Boorn and his brother as the
guilty parties: They were tried, convicted, and
sentenced to be hung.
The execution day came, and large crowds
poured into the village to see the murderers
swing. They assembled the scafEold, and the
moose was placed around their necks, when
the supposed dead man appeared in the crowd
The Boorns were set free, Just as they reached
DEATH door, and Immediately fed the State.
Jesse Beorn, now nearly seventy years old,
confessed to Mr.. Hackett, at Burton, that he
and his brother did murder Cooley, the per-
son who appeared before the gallows being a
man from New Jersey, who bore a striking re-
to the deceased, and who was ex-
hired to play the villainous part The
affair created q great excitement at the time
throughout New England, and lawyers re-
for the defense in desperate murder
cases have ever since quoted the Boorn case
benefit Of their clients.
1t is believed-indeed Boorn confessed as
much-that the hardened wretch purposed to
still further steep his hands in blood by muir
lering a Mr.. Doolittle, of Burton, who has
money which the gang have long lusted for.
The parties who were arrested at Burton,
ire now in Jail in this city, and will probably
De tried during the present term of the Uni
ed States District Court.
On last Wednesday Marshal johnson and
Mr.. Hackett made another important arrest
1t North Washington, in Hardin County, Sc
the persons of DIR, e. b. Hest nj, a
respectable physician and Hiram
iartzeL. These parties are charged with man
featuring bogus coin, and we're brought TO
lie city and lodged in jail.
1t is worthy Of mention that of the numer-
'us persons arrested for counterfeiting on the
reserve, during the past year, not one has
'cen caught in Cleveland. They rendezvous
n the country-in small, ou~t-ofthe-way places,
where they outwardly maintain the utmost
espectability, and, in some instances, even
fleet piety. One company make the coin,
nd another sells ii, but none of them pass IL
When one is arrested the efforts of the entire
ang are put in use to secure his acquittal.
