The beautiful and Aourishing town Of Ak
ron, so pleasantly situated among the green
hills Of oldsumnit, was on Saturday the
scene of q most enthusiastio and harmonious
Union eathsring-s gathering, which taking
into account the disoOuraging circumstances
Of the Weather, surprised US by its strength
and unanimity. As We took a seat in the
pleasant cars Of the fast running Cleveland
and Pittsburgh railroad and gIided smoothly
out Of Cleveland, We looked at the gray,
gathering clouds, and voted the prospects for
q meeting decidedly gloomy. But nOtwith-
standing threatened rain We found that Sum
nit county was determined to manifest her
spirit and devotion. On our arrival at Hud-
son we found the Hudson band diseoursing
martial strains, and large crowd assembled
to take the Akron train, which presently
started, bearing of five carloads Of living
freigh, tall, or nearly all, bound to Akron.
When 6naIly arrived we found the Akron
Guards drawn up at the depot awaiting the
train. Let us pause for a moment to mako
special mention of this fine company of In
dependent Militia, which, under command of
Lieutenant stOrer, in the absence of Captain
Everett, took prominent part in the process
Sions and added much to the interest of the
day. Its appearance is excellent, and its
drill surprising, in view of its recent organ
ization. Their bavonets looked diseoursging
for John MOrgan's or Kirby Smiths pros
poets of future raids in Ohio.
The town was thoroughly awake. The
members in attendance on the meeting were |
not as great as those attending, the day pre-
vious, at Ravenna, owing to the unpleasant
weather and the imminent prospect of rain
bat the spirit and harmony everywhere
shown was fully as noticeable.
THE MORNING MEETING.
Before the regular time Of meeting large
crowd had gathered and meeting was held
in the street in front Of the Goodell Block,
md was addressed by speakers from the bal
,Ony Of DR.. PetsrsOn's Office. Judge S. Il.
PillEin presided and introduced Judge Day,
IF Ravsnna, who was greeted with applause,
aud addressed large and most attentive au-
iisnos, in q speech of power and merit.
At the conclusion Of his able review Of the
record of the COpperhead candidate, three
round and ringing cheers were given for
Judge Day, in response to which he called
'Or three cheers for the army and navy. The
shout that arose was tremendous,
waxing the echoes Of the sneircliug hills and
announcing in thunder tones the peoples
voice against treason in the South or at home.
Calls being made for Governor Dennison,
le was introduced, and as soon as the cheers
which greeted him had died away, he pro-
'eedsd to speak for few moments. As he
vas announced 20 speak in the afternoon, his
morning address was very brief. After most
xosIlent music from The Hudson band, the
udience diperssd for dinner.
