 On Monday evening of this week, learning
 that the Great Dem mocratic Party of Litchfeld,
 Morris and Bethlem were to hold grand jolli- fcation at the residence of Horatio Benton,
 Esq. in Morris, and learning that the various luminaries of the party, including some New
 Lights, were to be present. and that the occa- sion was intended to be . frsternal asssmblage of the great Unterrifsd and Unwashed,ws dis patched special reporter ts the place of rsh- d.zvous, with instructions to report whatever } would be of interest to the public generally, and throw light upon the position to be taken by the unterrifed in this County, in view of
 recent events.
 Our reporter arrived in time to witness . terrible onslaught upon some inofensive oysters, : provided for the brethren by the aceommoda-
 ting hest at Sl,00 head. Among the distin- guished personages engaged in this healthful and pleasing entertainment. our reporter no- t ticed the Hon. Geo. c Woodruff. present Msm- Der of Congress from this district Major Ed ward W. Seymour, member in prospective Dr. G. Bcckwth, late Assistant Surgeon of the f draft H. B. Graves, Esq, late of the Union ;
 Hon. Geo Palmer, David More, Esq, Mott
 Johnson, Esq, Amasa Stevens, Esq, Linus Parmalse, Esq, Orman Stone. Esq. of Li:ch
 field Abraham Beccher, Esq, of Bethlen, late :. President of the "snobble meeting" and many , others, including the town authorities of Litch field, Morris ard Bethlem, probably present to preserve the peace
  . north, somebody had set fire te barrel, and a small pound cannon, called the "Ethan
 Allen," belched forth at stated intervals it's , immense volleys. Whether the salute was in tended for an expression of rejoicing over the , recent democratic victories" or whether for U the Ia and better news that the great cause of
 them had been finally and effectively removed T. by the firm and judicious hand of Honest Old II Abe, our reporter had no means of asceraining. e After the oysters and-vnegar had been dis G cussed and digested sufficiently inside, to in- 0 spire the feast of reason and flow of soul, A. }. Pickett, Esq, of Morris, was called to preside e over the assembly President of tho meeting # and Dr. G. Beckwith, of Litchfeld was cho son to act as Assistant President. Amaaa o Stevens, Esq, of Ltchheld, apparently acted , as Clerk. as he sat very near the two Prssl' :, dents, and seemed to watch with manifest ca :. gernsss, and open mouth, everything that wal said, though our reporter did not observe tha
 he took very copious notes, and onco or twice
 though he observed Mir. S., during the less in :, teresting parts of the exercises. indulging in q
 few snatches of sleep.
 Credit should hore be given 10 tho viands o
 the host, H Benton Esq, which, our reporter ' says, were tempting enough to tsmpt stauach '' Republican to sit down to. though the rsfresh- Q ment which seemed most palatable Is the It brethren present, was kept in another room, te Z which frequent trips wore made. to the great
 interruption of the spirited addresses which
 followed.
 st After some prelimnsriss H. B. Graves, Esq n. then introduced to his fellow citizens the inev
 itable African; also hs Hon Geo. c. Woodruff. in few brief but eloquent remarks, and . wished to inquire of the latter distinguished
 gentleman in the beginning. "whether hs was for tho white man or the nigger,"
 Hon. Geo. c Woodruff. on rising, stated tc
 hls friend that he was decidedly in favor eff the
 white man and not of the black man, and that
 he was also in favor of the "Constitusion as ii :, was,'' after which highly original remark lie
 stated that he had effected an arrangement with ' his friend, Major Seymour. by which he (Mr. W. was to do tho eating at this meeting, and v Major Seymour was to do the-speaking, where
 upon Mir. Woodruff again seated himself to 6nisA his part of the contract, while loud calls for Major Seymour brought tkat gentleman l. upon his fee. 10 fulfil his part.
 Major Seymour thereupon entertained the
 brethren with an elaborate address of about a
 half-hour's length, in which Mcclellan and Il Democratic party, and Democratic party and Mcclellan were beautifully lntermxed and interwoven, with now and then pleasing di-
 gressisn pitching into ''Old Abe," who being e the Majors superior officer, made it at least
 little out of the way of the strictsst military
 etiquette. Major Seymour also informed his r unterrifed hearers i've had nearly written
 hcroe.) that Mcclellan was removed by the
 President because he a democrat! The
 Major did not. however, state the fact that Gen. Burnside, by whom Mcclellan was superseded, | is also democrat, nor that such is or uas the r politics of Gen. Halleck, Gen. Logan, Gen. Richardson, and several, if not most of the d other officers in the field. The Major further t. remarked that Mcclellan will stand great
 deal hig gher ten ye.rs from now for being re.
 moved, which date our reporter was gla l was = put at so late period, as the country couldn', n hove stood Mcclellan ten years, or ten months e longer and there is certainly room for improve r mont and brains in ten years.
