Mai. Stambaugh at Marion.

the following notice of Maj. STAN
BAUdH's speech at the late mass meet
ing at that place:
Mr.. Johnston was followed by Maj
D. W. Stambaugh of New Philadelphia,
who came to fill the appointment of
Judge Thurman, that gentleman not be-.
ing able to be present Mr.. Stambaugh
is one Of the best orators in the State
He spoke for an hour in his happiest
strain and closed amid the regrets of
his audience who persistently cried for
him to go on. The lateness of the hour
and the fact that he was to address the
meeting in the evening, precluded him
from speaking longer.
Mr.. Stambaugh had splendid audi
ence in the evening, and right nobly did
he entertain them. His history of par,
ties was succinct and his denunciation
of the Administration for the Emanci-
patton Proclamation and arrest of Val
landigham was scathing.

The Southern rebellion, gigantic as it
has been, powerful as it may yet be

fabric of a dream"
