his knowledge of the workings of this action
/ obtained by residence in New York city
! peculiarly fitted him for the task of laying
open to the eyes of honest men the designs o
these renegaies to American Liberty anC
National Unity. Mr.. Cole is one of the origi
Eai fights of Freedom, and we hope to have
the pleasure of again meeting with him.
Hon.A. G. OLMsrED, then followed in short
concise and pertinent speech. He gavea glance
at the speech of Alex. H. Stephens, Vice Pres
ident of the Rebel Confederacy, made before
the war, in which he stated that the South
had no cause for secession, and if they die
secede it would surely result in universal
emancipation and whole Free Union. He
read ezt1atts from Benedict Arnold's Address
to the American people during the Revolu-
tionary War and compared it with the speech
es of the copperhead party of to-day, and
their resemblance was SO gresG as to strike
many with wonder.
The closing speech by HoN. Isaac BESsoN
was a good bit At the Cops whiei they ap-
peared TO appreciate very highly. Mr.. Benson
does noEfear to ''treaG upon the toes Of any
man or factien when he believes them to be
in the wrong, and his speech, on Wednesday
afterneon was telling blow at the party that
seeks to throw the ball of anarchy into the
North and ruin forever the hopes of the Amer
jean people, The day was so far gone that
he was compelled, much to the disappoint-
ment Of the people to close.
Altogether the speeches were honest, fair,
able, and convincing, and the people returned
to their homes with a gooa and hopeful
feeling.
The procession was the largeet of any since
1856. The Flags and Banners made fine
display, particularly the one representing lit
tie Mcclellan riding the copperhead of Ohio.
The portraits and banners were painted by
Mr.. Cyrenus Jones, fine artist and a good
Republican. Much credit is due him for the
manner in which he executed his task. The
occasion was much enlivened By songs from
Henry Olmsteds Brigade They sung with
fine effect the new songs entitled, "Vote for
Abraham" and "A Thousand Years Ny Own
Columbia" The Whitesville Cornet Band
discoursed good music on the occasion.
The meeting at Roulet was good turn
out for that section and encouraged the loyal
people TO persevere in the good work.
