I. was spontaneous assembling Of our citl-

posters having been put up during the day, an
nouucing meeting In the evening early
soon after niahtfall, High street was illuminat-
ed with numerous bonfres, that cast far and
wide, a broad, clear light. while the shouts OF
tue gathering thousands rent the air and
showed that the hearts Of the people we're
stirred to their utmost depths.
About the largest sssemblage ever witnessed
in the Capital City Of Ohio soon came together
a. the west front Of the State House. Hon.
s. Cox was called for by the thousands in at'
tendance, when he appeared before them' ana
was received with such earnest and cordial
greetings as are bestowed upon none but iaish-
full and worthy Representatives OF the people
Il vas long time before the enthusiastic shouts
OF that immense meeting ceased, so that he
could procced to speak In strain of i'm
passioned eloquence he rendered his heartfelt
thanks to his true and devoted friends 10 this
citv aud in this county, who have stood by him
aud su oported hi through sunshne and through
storm In the past, and Who to-day trust him
and coufide in him as few public men are trust
ed aud copfded in. --
Il o also, in beautiful and appropriate TERMS
thanked bis new friends here and throughout
the Seventh District, for the triumphant man
ner In which they had sustained him at the re-

tended he should be defeated. His speech was
reple.e throughout with patriotic allusions' ana
with congratulations and rejoicings over the
great Democratic triumph Of Tuesday, in this
county, in this District, in this State, and in
Peuusylvauia aud Indiana. He was again and
again interrupted by the glad cheers and shouts
of the assembled Thousands who listened to his
eloquent and truthful utterances.
Mr.. Cox was followed by the Hon. JAMES X.
MoRRIs, of Monroe county, the member Of
Congress from the 18th district, just re- elected
over WIN. P. CUTLER, by majority OF thous-
aud His remarks breatbed the fire OF patriot
lam and devotion to the Constitution and the
Union, and we're spplauded throughout.
While Mr.. MoRRIs was speaking,a large pro-
cessiop, preceded by MEYER's fine band, arrived
from the southern part of the city, displaying
the national flag, and transparency, on one
side OF which was the motto "The Constitution
q, il IL, and the Union as it was," and on the
other the words "Down with Despotism and
Fana.icism" As the procession entered Capi
tol Square, rockets rapidly ascended, amid the
shouts and cheers OF the multitude.
When the procession had joined the assem-
blsge, Mr.. Cox was again called forward, and
spoke for few moments, making beautiful
allusion to the circumstances under which the
flag there displayed had been presented to the
Democracy of the Fifth ward two years ago,
and to the very different circumstances under
which they we're now gathered to defend the
honor Of that flag and uphold our glorious
Union. ,...
Mr.. MORRIS, who had been interrupted by the
arrival Of the procession, then finished his ad-
dress, concluding with an eloquent and thrill
ipg appeal to the people to stand firmly by the
Constitution and the Union. In the course oi
his remarks, Mr.. MORRIS alluded 10 strong
terms, to the fidelity, care and diligence with
which his colleague in Congress, Mr.. Cox, had
labored to guard and advance the interests OF
Ohio, and especially of the Capital City and
District.

ceeded Mr. MoRRIs, describing briefly bnt point
edly the recent canvass In Clarke county and
the strong opposition with which the Democrats
and Conservative men Of that county had to
contend.
MATTHIAS MARTIN, Esq, our County Auditor,
next addressed the audience, and severely han
died those members Of the Legislature who, by
gerry Wandering the State, sought to deprive
the Democracy of its just representation in the
National Legislature. His remarks showing
that the salvation of the country rested with the
Democracy, were received with hearty good
will.
Mr.. WILSON, of Meigs, made brief but neat
address, aud was followed by Hon. L. B. LOTT,
Representative in our State Legislature, from
Darke county. Mr.. LOTT spoke of the success
Of the Democracy In his county and district,
and particularly of the defeat Of West, Of Lo-
gan, the author of the bill for gerymandering
the State, defeating Cox, and securing for him
self seat in Congress, in both OF which schemes
he, WEST, had been most signally and right
eously defeated.
Orro DREsEL, Esq of this city, being next
called upon, made an excellen. patriotic speech,
showing the response the people of Ohio had
given to the Presidents proclamation, and de-
claring that it was not the Pfesident's business
to emancipate slaves, but the peoples to eman-
cipate him from Abolition pressure.
Ex-Governor MEDARY concluded the meeting
With appropriate congratulatory remarks upon
the results Of the recent elections, and the as
sembled multitude dispersed with cheers for
