circumstance-a thing almost unparalleled
that so many men and women should stanC
out there in the cold fully four hours, aftei
40 election, and listen 20 two political speech
es. There was sympathy between the speak
ers and the hearers. Mr.. Vallsndigham spoke
free from all restraints free from the re
straint that weighed many speakers down be
fore the electiOn-and yet no one could fine
in that speech either open or covert treason
unless the unyeiling of the Republican
Mokanna is obnoxious TO that charge. Mer
were surprised to find him so moderate in the
expression Of his views-to find him so SIN
cerely devoted TO the Union. Under no cir
cumstances was he in favor Of disruption
of the Union-he never had been-he beliey
ed it possible, since the rendition of the yer
dict Of the people through the ballot box a
the late elections, that the Union might bC
restored he believed it would be in time-tha
when the AbolitioRists we're put down through
the ballot box, then the people of the South
would put down the Secessionisss there, anC
then would commence the work of restora

that the Union could not be restored through
the agency of arms he believed so now more
firmly than ever Eighteen months Of fight
ing had not brought seeding State bach
into the Union notwithstanding the Govern
ment had all the men and money il had called
for. He did not believe the North could con
quer the South, nor the South could conquer
the North. He was apprehensiye that the
Administration would so manage affairs as to
let the South 60. To that he could not and
would not consent He believed that if such
a separation were to take place, that the event
would become additionally memorable as
dating the withdrawal of the West from the
East When he had concluded speaking a
prolusiOn of boquets we're thrown to him by
the ladies, who in addition presented him a
very beautiful wreath, in return for which
tokens OF esteem and encouragement, he
made few happy and pertinent remarks.
In the evening q large meeting assembled
at the Court Room-an audience that would
have more than filled the, Masonic Hall. There
were present quite number of ladies. Had
the notice been more general that Mr. Vallan.
digham would be prevailed On to make anoth.
er speech, the room would not have been OF
sufficient capacity to hold the audience Hon.
VIM. b. Finck made brief speech, in which
he very felicitously returned his thanks for
the very hatteriDg majority the people Of
Ross gave him at the late election, and
animadyerted on the doings of the Republican
party 1t was very happy and creditable
effort
Mr. Finck was followed by William Mar
shall Anderson, Esq, of Circlevile, who made
a humorous speech, interspersed with sound
sense and stern truths that served to show up
Black Repu5licanism in itsgrotesque deform-
lly' A few minutes before he concluded his
speech, Mr.. Vallandigham entered the room,
when he was welcomed with great warmth
and cordlalty. As soon as Mr.. Anderson had
concluded, Mr.. Vallandigham was SO earnest
ly called for that he felt constrained TO re-
spond, and he did respond in speech of two
hours, which, II anything, was an abler effort
than his effort Of the afternoon.
No audience was ever better pleased-neyer
more thoroughly and unmstakaby gratified
than the audiences OF Wednesday after.

sideration, that this was an after the election
demonstration-that it was in winter, with its
cold and its inclemency upon us-it was one
OF the greatest if not actually the greatest
successes that ever was vouchsafed to a politi.

To Miss Effie Allen, the fair daughter of
Ex-senator Allen, is due much credit for the
taste with which she decorated the large table
