PIE crowd, as we have heretofore said, wa.

! only few miles from the seat of A bolttionism
Oberlin, it could not be otherwise than a good
ly and godly number of fanatics were on hand
Though we do not expect they would average
one to every hundred in attendance. Tae Re-

turn out, claimed that many of their PARTY at

When Mr.. Pendleton spoke, a certain learn
ed Doctor (Biglow. we believe his name isl
of Oberlin, began, as Cox expressed it, go
PROFOUND interrogatories He tried some
dozen of the Cincinnati Congressman, who
deftly drew him out into the admission that
he didn't want the old Union, with slavery
After he had been lashed into seeming good
order by Mr. Pendleton, he again essayed to

The surgical operation by which his hide was
taken off and his flesh lacerated, and his bones

patriotism from such seditious people. He
would not call names he would leave that to
his opponents If he said that the Republi-
cans of the Reserve were Abolitionists, Multi

by their own testimony. II he could not con.
vince them of the virtue, he would at least
close their own pharisaical can't about the
Union. ..-,tEe df-y-44s q lss5s81a
