The Great Union Macs Meeting at Raven
The Rsvenna Democrat gives glowing
account of the great and patriotic meeting
at Rsvenna last week. In reference to the
orators Of the day, it makes the following
remarks:
"Long before the professions began to
arrive, thousands were upon the Fair
Grounds, and at an early hour Hon. R. P.
Spsulding was introduced to a fine audi
enee sndspOke until an adjournment for
dinner. His speech was worthy of better
attention than we can give it here, but the
audience who heard it will give practical
heed to its counsels, and treasure up its
great truths.
ain the afternoon the magnitude Of the
crowd rendered it necessary to have
speaking from two stands for the voice Of
20 man could be made to reach the borders
Of the congregation, all being tOgether.-
From one stand Governor Dennison and
Colonel Anderson spoke. From the second
stand Hon. A G. Riddle addressed grand
audience. No attempt to report their
speeches is made to-day, though in fu-
ture publication We may be able to present
q synopsis of them.
The speech Of Colonel Anderson drew
out great applause, and every hearer-Was
grstifed and strengthened BY the words
Of counsel, and Of vigor and esrnestness
delighted with his devotion to the Union,
and joining with him in his execrstion Of
traitors everywhere.
Governor Dennison followed Colonel An
derson. His speech was that Of the true,
earnest, dignihed patriot, and in his ex-
hortstion to the people to 90 their duty, to
stand by the Government, and TO hold up
the hands Of its administrators TO elect
men who will not bstrsy into Febal hsnds
the trust loyal people commit to them-We
have faith to believe that there was seed
sOwn in good ground, that will yield many
fold.
The speech Of Mr.. Riddle was an able
and brilliant review Of the great issues Of
the campaign; plain and faithful state
ment Of the duty Of every loyal man, and
a mastery expose Of the course and true
position and snimus Of the great traitor in
Canada. He dealt in stern facts, snd un-
questioned matters Of record, and msssed
them against the disloyal element, seeking
a supremacy in Ohio. His remarks were
received with great applause, aud produced
q spirit Of earnestness among his audience.
We already hear Of good work done BY
the meeting; Of eyes that have been open
ed, and Of feet turned from gazing sstrsy.

It was the Censurable act Of mischisvOus
