which was Of two Lours' length. the meeting adj
journed for dinner All honor To our Democratic
ladies, nothing was wanting in the way of edibles
They had prepared most excellent dinner OF
which the multitude partook with a relish. After
dinner, every source OF amusement, consisting
OF shows. swings and other games. was resoried
to. A more beautiful place, ut which TO hold a
demonstration Of this kind. could not have been
selected. Ii is large shady grove-one of those
kind in which the Young gentlemen delight TO
stroll with their fair friends Of the genter sex
and your correspondent cocId not help appreci-
ating the great pleasure afforded in this respect.
An hour and half having quickly flown Dy,
the chairman. Sylvanus ManLville, again called
the meeting TO order Hon james S Hester
of Brown county. now addressed the multitude
Mr. Hester is a small man-much below the
ordinary size. bat what he lacks in his phy scal
proportions is fully made in his mental.
He had carefully prepared speech. aud il was
ably and eloquently delivered He discussed at
length the recent Infamous proclamation of Pres
ident Lincoln. and styled it the last act neces-
sary to the accomplishment of a complete despot-
ism By this one fell swoop the thirty millions
of hitherto free American people are subject "a
the will OF one man. Mr. Hester's frequent aliu-
sions to Hon T. l. Vallandigham received the
most tremendous and uprorious applause

cended the stand and delivered one of the best
speeches TO which we have listened the present
campaign.
Hon. o. II. p. Albeit, our esteemed and hon
ored Representative. then called upon nd
delivered n humorous and convincing speech
which was emnenty characteristic of the man
The fact that Mr.. Albeit is looked upon by mem
bers Of all political parties as an honest man. goes
far to prove that his speeches appreciated
everywhere. He spoke Of the growth and pros
perity OF our country under Democratic rule. and
contrasted il with the miserable attempt Of an
administration of the Government By Abolition
lists Under Democratic rule we had grown from
thirteen small Colonies into united cOnfederacy
OF thirty three sovereign and independent States
Not only did our territorial jurisdiction con
tinue to increase but the rapiditY with which We
continued to advance to a state of perfection in
general wealth, and all the essentials of national
greatness, was without parallel in the history
OF this or any other country. Besides we never
had an alleged necessity for general suspension

We had drafts" "conscriptions." and

Our people were not oppressed with taxation and
despotism. Our national treasury was ALWAYS
full and the people were in the enjoyment of al
their liberties Our star-spangled banner ther
