Notwithstanding the hour, one thousand end
one hundred Wide Awakes with lighted
torches were in waiting TO receive the illus
trioux Senator, and to escort him to resi-
denceiof the Hon. D. S. Walbridge.
The weather to-day opened with a cold,
drizEling rain, nevertheless trains and other
eonveyances are continually arriving, bear
ing immense numbers Of strangers to attend
the great Republican demonstration OF Cen
tral Michigan.
The weather has maintained its disagreea-
bic character throughout the day, nOtwith
standing which, the attendance here has not
been less than 10000 people Delegations
have arrived in wagons from the surround
ing counties, some from distance Of forty
miles! Many that would have come have
been prevented by the severe rains during
the early part Of the day.
The display as the numerous delegations
paraded through the streets was very hne.-
was an immense platform car from Allegon
county, drawn by twelve yoke OF oxen, hav-
ing ON boar2 a huge log which was being
split into rails as it passed through the prin-
cipal streets.
There was a delegation OF Hollander Wide
Awakes from Altoun and company ofpion-
eers in houses and wearing chip hats, from
Allegtn county. A chariot containing young
ladies', each bearing a flag with the date Of
the Union inscribed, and following them was
lady on horseback, dressed in black, carry
ing a flag inscribed; Kansas, they wont let
me in. Several large fiat boats and innu-
merable wagons carrying rail spliters, and
bearing appropriate devices paraded the
streets,
At eleven o'clock the people began to gath
er ard1nd the grand stand in the Park, and
at twelve o'clock, speaking was commenced
by Gen. Nye, Of New York, who was follow
ed by Charles Francis Adams, Of Massachu-
sets and Hon. W. W. Kellogg, member Of
Congress from this district, alter whom Mr..
Sewatd was introduced. His speech occupi-
ed but twenty-five minutes, il being neces-
sary for him to leave at two o'clock for Mil
waukec. His appearance called forth the
liveliest enthusiasm, and the pressure to get
within the reach Of his voice was crushing.
He commenced by saying, that he had come
III QlEQlEuGE 70 A4E WISHES OF Tue DEOIliG OF
Michigan, but he thought they had made
great mistake Their ardor in the Republi-
can cause was not tagging. He found every
where a spirit and enthusiasm unsurpassed,
and q zeal that needed no stimulation. It
was his hearts wish that he might see KAN
sas, that Saratoga Of freedom before he died,
and in order 70 accomplish his circuitous
route he must leave to-day. Everywhere in
Michigan he had experienced the kindliest
greeting from old Democratic friends and
neighbors from New York
Whie his heart was pleased at their kind well
come II mOurned that they still adhered 10 a bad
cause. q cause that brought 10 them neither hon
or, SAFETY nor reaoWn. He had seen the old Fed
eraists die clinging TO the idea that their party
would be again revived and he had seen old Line
Wings who had rather vote for The ghosts Of the
dead than give up the hOnOred memories for the
livingsissue. of the present. il was similar with
his Democratic friends. They were wasting their
time and their money for tie furtherance OF
principles that could not prevail. The man that
could not be elected was Mr.. Douglas. Every
vote for him in the North counts for Breckenridge
IN the South counts for Lincoln or Bell
Thf irrepFessible conflict was between Slavery
and Freedom. The Republicans occupied the
side of Freedom and the Democracy that Of
Slayefy-the Northern wing saying that they did
not care, and the Southern that Slavery was
righti Popular Sovereignty as understood by
the Democracy was the unreal and chimerical
web nat ever entangled the feet of honest men
IN lne ways Of pOLlllcs. 1Ou DO nor certainly wish
4 unfess il gives you more than you now have In
Michigan, you are popularsover4igrs. You can
eXercIse your sovereignty in your state Govern
mentand the House and senate and through them
over The Territories. Why then, should you wish
10 g07 to Kansas and New Mexico, leaving
yourpleasant homes for the purpose Of eNercis-
ing Sovereignty there that you now can exercise
here ever territory that your country owns and
eontr1sf Why give up your sovereignty here
withelt the power Ofgaining il in Kansas, as her
representative has no vote in Congress- Why
not exercise Il here2 Slavery was not prohibited
in ttesNorthwest Territory by the people Of that
Territory but by Congress which alone has the
power over Territories.
In conclusion be said be had confidence That
the right would triumph, and the Government be
madefO resume its ancient line Of policy.
