the only Union candidates for Presidency
and Vice Presidency before the people
MCCLELLAN and PENDLETON - the
Christian Warrior and Statesman and the
polished gcntlcmanly, upright lawyer and
Statesman,
Notwithstanding the very busy season of
year, the crowd was very large - Democrats
and thinking Republicans joining together
in the meeting with the best of feeling with
the common desire to the benefit by their
ballot this fall the interests of their common
country.
The Meeting was organized by calling Asa
Holmes. of Short Creek township to the
chair. Mr. Estep was introduced and in
speech of over an hour held the audience
spell bound, as he mfolded the corruptions
and follies Of the present ungodly Admins
traton. In an array of facts which were
mdisputable he showed the people how ey-
cry prediction of those who at present ad
ministcrcd the Government had failed; how
their theories of Government was working
the destruction of the nation how they
lead and were destroying all Union feeling at
the South by debarring their return to the
Union until they would accept Abolitionism
in the place of the Constitution quoting
Lincoln and Seward and others of that par
ty to establish the fact that the Abolition
leaders knew what the effect of their policy
would be; exhibited how the Administra-
ton had broken its pledges with the people
-subverted the Constitution, were destroy
ing Liberty and changing the character of
our Institutions; and appealed to all lovers Of
their country to support the only men now
before the people whose election would has
ten the return Of Peace and Union, McClel
Ian and Pendleton. Mr.. Esteps speech
was a mastery effort, and no outline of ours
could begin to do him justice. 1t was lis
tened to with profound attention, and made
and impression on the minds Of all who
heard it not easily effaccd.
Mr.. Donahue, the next speaker @introdu
ced surpassed himself in mastery speech
of nearly an hours duration. He exhibit
ed the position Of the radical peace men,
the position of Lincoln and the position
now occupied by the Democratic party in an
honest and clear manner; argued that there
was nothing but dissolution in .the Lincoln
policy quoted from Fremont Wade and
the Republican platform to show the ruin
which reelection Of Lincoln would entail
on the nation. He exhorted all peace men,
in the language of patriotism, to rally as
one man to the support of Mcclellan and
Pendeton. At the conclusion of Mr.. Don
ahue' speech he offered the following reso-
luton which was unanimously adopted and
the most uproarous enthusiasm followed by
three rousing cheers given as only the "un-
terrified" Democracy know how:
Resozyed, That the Democracy Of Harri-
son county, in mass meeting assembled. u,
unanimously endorse, the Platform and nom
| nations made at Chicago, and that we vii
use our best cndeavOrs to secure the election
Of GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN and GEORGE
| TO 4ln nti, Df M
and Vice President of the United States
Mr. Donahue was followed by D. W.
Stambaugh, of Tuscarawas county, one o
the delegates from this district to the Chi
cago Convention. Mr.. Stambaugh gave a
brief history of the Convention, though
it the best place he had ever been and made
such speech as only Stambaugh knows
how to make, intorspcrsol with sparkles Of
wit that made the crowd fairly roar witt
laughter AMI applause. His hits at the
"gallant" Major John A., Judge Advocate
of the Susquehanna Department, headquar
ters at Chambersburg, Solicitor Of the
Court Of Claims, Confidential Secretary
candidate for Congress and the Lord know,
what else, were exceedingly happy and mad
the "Miscegens" vince Stambaugh is Al
able speaker, and will do good wherever he
goes. At the close of Stambaughs speech
three cheers were given for the Union, thre
| for Mcclellan and Pendleton, three for the
Constitution, three for the gallant soldier
of the Union army, and three for the ladies
present.
The meeting was one of the happiest w
have attended, and will have a good infu
ence. Scores of Republicans are cominy
boldly out for Mcclellan and Pendleton, ant
the Abolition party is being rapidly narrow
ed down to its proper members -shoddy
contractors, Office -holdersand their relations
The people are ready to accept the restora
ton of the Union, even without the "aban
donment of slavery" and they are GROWN!
anxious to hurl the sholdyites from yower
They are satisfied tha5 the policy Of Licor
will slaughter hundreds of thousands o
lives needlessly, and they are tired Of fur
nishing victims for the slaughter. They
owe it to fathers, sons and brothers in tn
: field to hurl from power the men who woul
