KALAMAZOO, September g. Governor
Seward, under the escort of the jackson
Wide-awakes, arrived at jackson, from
Lansing, yesterday afternoon, where he was
received with many demonstrations of re-
spect AT twelve o'clock, midnight, under
the escort of a large number of people, and
general turning out of the Wide-awakes,
he took the train for this place, arriving at
two o'clock, A. NJ, where, notwithstanding
the hour, 1000 people and 100 Wide-awakes,
with lighted torches, were in waiting to re-
ceive the illustrious Senator, and escort him
to the residence Of the Hon. D. G. Wal
bridge. The weather, to-day, opened with
cold drizzling rain, nevertheless, trains
and other conveyances are continually ar
irving, bearing immense numbers of strang-
ers to attend the great Republican demon
stration of Central Michigan. .s.
The weather has maintained its disagreea-
Bile character throughout the day, notwith-
standing which, the number present has been
10000 or $4,000 people. Delegates arrived in
wagons from the surrounding Counties
some from distance of forty miles, and
many that otherwise would have come, have
been prevented by the severe rains. Dur
ing the early part of the day the display,
as the numerous delegates paraded the
streets, was very fine. There was delega-
ton of Hollander Wide-awakes from Of
towa, and company of Pioneers in blouses,
and wearing chip hats, from Allegan County.
A chariot containing young ladies, each
bearing flag with a State of the Union in
scribed, and following lady on horseback,
dressed in black, carrying a flag inscribed
"Kansas-they wont let me in"
Several huge flat-boats and innumerable
wagons carrying rail-splitters and bearing
appropriate devices, paraded the streets at
eleven o'clock. The people began to gather
around the grand stand in the park, and at
twelve o'clock speaking was commenced by
Gen. Nye, of New York, who was followed
ny Charles Francis Adams, of Mass, and
Hon. W. W. Kellogg, member of Congress
from this district, after which Mr.. Seward
was introduced. His speech occupied but
| twenty-five minutes, it being necessary for
him to leave at two O'clock, for Milwaukee.
His appearance called forth the liveliest en-
thusiasm. The pressure to get within sound
of his voice was crushing.
He commenced by saying that he had come
! in obedience TO the wishes of the people OF
| Michigan, but he thought both had made
| great mistake; their ardOr in the Republican
cause was not tagging be found everywhere
| q spirit and enthusiasm unsurpassed, and a
| zeal that needed no stimulation. II was his
hearts wish that he might see Kansas that
! Saratoga of Freedom before he died and in
order 10 accomplish his circuitous route, he
must leave to-day. Every-where in Michigan
he had experienced the kindliest greetings
from old Democratic friends and neighbOrs
from New York. While his heart was pleased
at their kind welcome, 1t mOurned that they
still adhered TO bad cause--a cause that
brought to them neither honor, safety, nor
renown. He had seen the old Federalists
die, e,clingingto the idea that their party would
again be revived, and he had seen Old-hne

of the dead, than give up the honored mam
