agogues. After a week observation
in Lancaster, we are glad to say that
our prejudice was greatly removed
About the first incident that occurred
after our arrival, made favorable i'm
preston On our mind. On being in
troduccd to the gentleman with whom
we had the privilege Of staying, tho
first inquiry was, whether we were
Unionmen. From this MISUNDERSTOOD
that if we were not, we would not find
a very congenial place at his house.
We were happy to report ourselves
not only unconditional Union men,
but mcompromising anti-Vallandig-
hammers, now and forever.
The grand Union demonstration
that we witnessed on the 9th inst. in
Lancaster fully convinced usthat there
is deep, honest, loyal feeling perva-
ding the hearts Of the people Of Fair
field, that cannot be rooted out or over
awcd by such men as Olds and Van
Trump.
The solicitude with which tho
swarming masses thronged around tho
stands occupied by the speakers, fur
p nshed unmistakable evidence of their
interest in the glorious cause. And
, the hearty cheers with which they
, greeted the speakers, showed that the
truth reached the hearts and awakened
their sympathies. We We're happily
2 disappointed at seeing such good order.
! Never have We seen as many people
= together with as little disorder and
b drinking as there was On that occasion.
u We saw only two or three men drunk
n and ~e don't think that they pers
t Dr0ugh men.
h Another encouraging discovery We
5 made is, that your paper is intensely
= and avowedly loyal. Just such pa
Y per as the Gazette is needed in Lam
J. caster 10 counteract the baneful infu-
= ence of the Ohio Eagle, and vindicate
u the Administration.
:. 1.-THE copy Of the Eagle which wo
Y saw is specimen number of that pa
d per, it is a great calamity to any peo-
n pie TO have such paper published
| among them. On reading several arti-
=. cles in it, We were impressed with the
Is fact that it is inaptly named. The
II Eagleis bird employed as an emblem
N of liberty, and occupies place on the
i, flag Of our country. But the Ohio
~ Eagle is in sympathy with those who
are aiming to destroy our liberty and
t. trample our flag in the dust.
ne Again: the Eagle is a noble, digni-
&c &c fed bird, that seems to feed upon loath-
- some carcass, like the vulture or like
IN the owl to sneak about at night to CON-
ID nit acts Of depreciation. This, We
nj fear, cannot be said Of the Ohio Eagle
Nv From what We have seen of it, We
!; Judge that it will stoop to anything
he to accomplish its unhallowed purpo
DIS ses. We suggest to the editors O
en- that paper to. substitute more appro
~ pirate name. We hope to hear good
ro m report from Old Fairfield in the com
ing election.
