County Meetings.

We have very favorable accounts of
the different Republican meetings held in
the county during the past Neekr
Hon. Jacob Ferris has addressed large
gatherings at WILLIAMSON, Stockbridge,
Leslie and OnOndaga. His dissourses are
represented to he very convincing aud eff
fective
Judge Perrin has also filled appointments
in several towns with much acceptance to
the people, and finds everywhere a strong
desire TO hear all about the great issues OF
the campaign.
The mass meeting appointed at Mason
for last Saturday was addressed by Gov.
Blair Arrangements had been made for
large delegations TO be present from Ian
sing and other parts Of the country. but the
weather was such as prevented their atten-
dance But the Court House was crammed
as full as il could hold of eagar listeners.
1t will be seen by the notices in tO-days
paper that several more meetings are ap-
pointed in different places for next week.
Let the Republicans turn out in mas 10 all
of them. The copperheads know they are
defeated on the Presidential question and
on Governor, and feel very dubious about the
local candidates. Now is the time to crowd
them to the wall, and make a final end of
their supremacy in the County.

Republican City Association.

In the afternoon Of Monday, the Republi-
cans of this city raised a very handsome pole
in front Of the Republican Office. 1t is 1872
feet high. very straight and well proportion
ed, and has the bark and brush taken OIL
and in these respects is a decided improve
ment on any thing of the kind which can
now be seen standing in this city. But
what is better it has the d" Flag Of our Union"
flying from its top, with the names of those
noble standard bearers, LINCOLN and JoHN-
son. These were elevated to their position
amid the booming of cannon, and the cheers
Of the assembled multitude.
In the evening, the Representative Hall
was again filed to OverfOwing with null
titude eager TO hear. Agreeably to announ-
cement, they were addressed by WILLIAM H.
PIcKxEY Esq, of this city, and LUcIEN REED
candidate for Representative from this Dis
trict, for nearly two hours, on the political
issues of the campaign. Their remarks
were listened to with much attention and
apparent interest.
1t having become known that Senator
CRAPo was in the city, on his way TO Char
lotte. he was induced to come into the
meeting, and he addressed the audience for
about half an hour carryingthem along
with him in manner most effective and
convincing.
The next meeting on tomorrow Thurs
day1 evening viii be addressed by Col.
