alournfuI Death Of "a BIsIanchoIIy Meeting
According to announcement, CopperheA'
meeting was held in this city last evening
Brainsrd's Hall was we'll filed, up stairs ans
down, with crowd waiting to hear Yallan
digham's Lieutensnt. Of course all the Cop
perheads were there, the large fry and ths
email fry, all full of spirit for the foreigner
whom the people of Ohio are asked to make
Governor, ready to shout when the epaussI
were made, and the sign gives.
When the meeting bad gathered together
it was announced that Pugh was missing. he
had not yet made connection and There was
visible dissatisfaetion at his negligence Of
the desires of his faithful followers. Perhaps
he had ta.frisd over train at Columbus to
talk ever with tGOvernor Tod that lit
tie matter Of his (Pugh's) application in Au-
gust last to command s regiment Of three
years volunteers for the war that he now
abuses. But at any rate, he was not on
hand, and to I'LL up the time one Judge Lang
was called up to amuse the audisncsg
The Judge made fiery speech, full of III
diculOus assertions and false accusations. He
pretended to narrate the history of the Re-
publican party, and said among other bril-
liant scintillatiOns, that the Republican par
ty was laid out in 1860, so that it had 'f no

backs" Pray, Judge, how many "green-
backs" had been issued in 1850? Did you
pocket any Of them for Judicial and Profee-
siOnaI salary2 Then the Judge, in bringing
that pretended history down to the present
time, and while protesting great UniOnism,
Acknowledged the doctrine Of secession, by
saying that Z" the country Is divided, BY tho
efforts of this God forsaksn and man-fOrsak-
en- Administration" and the crowd went
with him with YELL
As all the fends from Heaven that fell
Had pealed the banner-ery of He'll"
The greater part of the Judges speech was
made up of sanguinary pictures Of Gland
soaked with blood, - " country drained
Of treasure, the nation dspopu-
lated " and other such pleasant
visions, all Of which, of course, we're intend
ed to promote enlistments and to restore
the Unisn He referred to Douglas, as hav-
ing been vilIi6ed by the Republicans, but
neglected to quote from the lsst speech of
Douglas, in which he said there we're only
two parties now, and hew he was not for the
country was against it. Then, after he had
roused tho applause eff his audience by his
sneerS at and abuse Of taxation and sacrifice
for the war, he had the assurance to say that
he and his followers were willing to contrib
ute all that was needed, i Lincoln could be
turned out of the White House. So that, BY
his own acknowledgment, the ousting Of the
present Administration, and not the restora-
tiOn of the Union, is the primary object of
the Ysllandigham Democrats. OF course
the audience sPplauded; they applaudsd
everything, from dignifsd allusiOn to the
" Abolition itch" to a sweeping dsnunciation
of national finance.
WO give the Judge credit for one happy
prophetic hit. He had been portraying the
sure progress and success Of the Democratic
party, and followed it by the story of a man
who went west, taking his old father with him.
Altar n faE Fears he wrote to a b--thAr at !
the East how prosperous he was, and closed
by saying and Tomorrow we take father to
the poor-house." The application was left
to the audience, who could only conclude that
the Democracy was SO prosperous that in Oe-
tOber it would have to take It's father Val
landigham to the political poor house, if not
to the charnel house itself.
We have to impeach somebody, however,
for fraud. The Plain Dealer announced that
Judge Lang would speak to the German
" in their own nervous language" His
language was nervous" enough, heaven
knows, but it was fraud upon the English
part of she audience to hear him talk in their
mother tongue. such expressions as '' poor
miserable wheIPs," Ge., applied to the admin
istratiOn, would, perhaps, have sounded less
disoreditabie in German than in English.
We look with little curiosity to see how
the Plain Dealer, which boasts itself of
having nominated and helped elect David
Tod Governor Of Ohio, will relish the elegant
epithets Of miserable, damnable, dirty
scavenger, and Abolition tool" which Mr..
Lang applied to him. We pronounce such
language vulgar, unprincipled, false and
blackguardish. The pain Dealer will be
forced to laugh, with hideOus grimaee, at
these saIliss Of Copperhead wit.
One Of the chief Offices which Judge Lang
performed for the Democratic ticket was to
utter glaring eulOgy upon P. Van Trump,
the candidate for Supreme Judge. Now our
readers will remember that this same Van
Trump was the KHOl0 Ncthing candidate for
Governor Of Ohio. How grateful the Irish
aud German Democrats must be to have q
KnoW-NOthing candidate thus praised BY
one who boasts Of the "SWeet German &C.
cent" Verify, Democracy makes strange
bed fellows.
The Judge stole the thunder Of little Sam
Cox by giving the programme for bringing
home the exiled traitor in case Of his election
and announced that Cleveland should be the
headquarters Of the Valandigham army.
We beg our friendsin Pennsylvauia to note
that Lang declared that Judge Woodward.
the Democratic nominee for Governor Of that
State, would furnish them all he help hey
l0aHted. So he is pledged to help Valandig-
ham and Pugh 70 raise civil war In the
North:
Judge Lang having subsided at length, af-
ter innumsrsbls unfulilleS promises to do 80,
there were shouts for " Pugh," and the cry
ers refused to be comfOrted because Pugh
was not. The outskirts of the meeting began
to ravel out with rapidity that threatened
TO leave only empty PeWs in this COpperhead
church. Something must be done. A Whis-
pered hint produced the CRY of Noble" by
no means intended as commentary upon
the speech of Lang, but an invitation
to an individual, q certain N. o.,
who had eeme up to enlghtsn the
