ID DECORATED CARS.
We counted 13 decorated cars, aver
aging over 30 young ladies to each Cal
and making in all over 42O girls in tho
large vehicles alone. 1t was remarked
by numbers that they never saw sucl
beautiful girls in any procession. Not
withstandng the' Generalization con
sequent upon Butternut rule in this
county, we can still show more intel
tectual men and beautiful women, il
proportion to our populations than any
county in the State.
APPEARANCE AND DEpoRTMENT OF TIL
ASSEMBLAGE.
We confess ourselves astonished nj
the vast number of well dressed, well
behaved, gcnteel-loolnng ladies and
gentlemen present. The contrast be-
tween this and the Butternut meetings
was so striking that every boy on the
street noticed it. We saw but one Oh
two drunken men, and they were shout
ing "Raw for 'Laninham." 1t was an
outpouring Of the substantial, intelli
gent, good people of the county, deter
mined to put down the traitors, dema.

ianity.
TIE SPEAKERS.
The several acres ofpeople were ad
dressed by Governor John Brough
Hon. John Sherman, and Gen. s. f.
Carey. Gov. Brough was addressing
his old friends in his old home. He
found the same old Wing enemies to
fight, who had taken control of the
county in the name of Democracy, and
he handled Judge Van Trump without
gloves showing that he was only "a
ycarling-a one year old Democrat, y
who, with the rest of the whig leaders
in this county, were still opposed to
the Democracy and to the best in
tcrests of the people.
Hon. John Sherman was also address
ing the friends of his boyhood in his
native county. He reviewed the early
history ofthe rebellion, and the record
of Vallandigham with great power
Gen. Carey took hold of things by the
handle, called things by their right
names, and during two hours kept the
vast crowd cheering and shouting with
delight.
20 vALLANDIGUAMMERs For BRoUGlT.
AS Governor Brough passed around
through the grove, after the meeting,
shaking hands with his old friends, he
came upon a squad of twenty Domo-
Gratis, who came to the meeting pos
sessod of Vallandigham, but who assur-
ed him that they were healed, and
would cast their ballots for Brough.
THE COMMITTEE AND THE PEOPLE.
Too much credit cannot be given to
Geo. G. Beck, B. +. Reinmund, and
John A. Hunter, the city members of
the Central Committee, for their un-
firing efforts and excellent manage
mcnt Of the meeting, nor to the Com
mitteemen in the different townships
for their prompt and active co-opcra-
ton. The people also in the different
townships deserve all praise for their
enthusiastic labors in preparing cars,
banners, sashes, flags, &c.
THE GREAT UPRISING.
The Butternuts are welcome to
whatever blood they can extract from
this enormous turnip. They whistled
all day to keep their courage up, and
say that thcprocession passed up Main
street three times, and contained only
seven or eight hundred voters. What
erer may be said of the present
campaign, it is one of the great upris-
ings Of the people, like that of 1910,
and must, as such uprisings always do,
sweep everything before it, and like
food engulf every obstacle in its
course.
