between the Chicago Convention and that
which Milton records that Satan held in
Pandemonidm, where MolOch Ksrs for
war and Mammon and Belial for peace.
Abiding to Sunset ICO1's proposal to
leave. New. England out in the
coldl1 he said: d You might throw
New England into the middle of the
sea, and she has in her enough of the
latent fire of patriotism to make the water
bolton either side 10 either shore. Heex-
posed with aterribly sarcastic power the
damnAble record of the Democratic candi-
dates and the glaring inconsistencies Of
their professions and practice he made
some home thrusts and excellent hits and
altogether delivered speech which ought
to be heard in every township in the
State.
We are aware that this brief analysis
does no Justice 0 the power and vigor Of
the speaker. But right here let Us take
occasion to remark that, writing as We do,
against time, for train due In half an
hour, it is idle to attempt to make any re-
port of the speeches. If our spare time
allows, we hope in future time to lay be-
fore our readers full report of portions
at least, of the speeches. Z. .ss - vs.-,
SPEECHES BIZ JUDGE DAT AEp n. ". GOOD
HUE.
At the close of the first speech, after
music, General Schenck and Mr.. Payne
not being on the ground, Judge Day and
N. W. Goodhue, ESQ, Of Akron, took the
isalproapfE stand, and made therefrom
tnlPronPtH speeches, which, though tD'-
pTomptat were very telling and effective,
as the repeated cheers Of a delighted audi
ence testified. sre
At the conclusion Of Mr.. GoodhEe's re-
marks, Judge Day, the chairman of the
occasion, introduced the Hon. R F. Paine,
of our own city, who was greeted with
most enthusiastic applause.
sPEEoH OF MR. PAYNE.
Mr.. Payne spoke for nearly an hour, in
his usual hearty and of-hand manner, deal
ing heavy blows on Copperhead scenoes,
and making some telling hits, which COM
manded much applause. He remarked
that 1t afforded him especial qualification
toaddress a gathering like this, composed
partially of old political opponents, now
united, because all old issues dwindle into
insigniAcance beside the great one now
pending. Our great platform was that, at
whstever cost, Of blood, treasure, suffering,
the Government of our fathers must and
shall be sustained. [ [Applaure.l BE ereferred

ocraey object that Lincoln has done moth |
ing But he came into office with his |
hands tied. He found a people destitute |
Of arms, of ammunitions Of war, of an
army, ofa navy, of a treasury. He found
all the national Offices filed with rank
traitors. In year he organized the great
est army that the world ever saw. And
his greatest difficulty has not been TO sub
due the rebellion, but 70 keep the northern
people loyal and determined. Mr.. Paine /
referred 70 our splendid list of formerly
DemOcratic Generals, and to their tri-
umphs for the Union. Admit
ing however that in the
throng, Mr. Lincoln found one Judas
George B. Mcclellan, And now Just rs
we have the rebellion down, and Lee
moving backward and forward, in and out
of Richmond, like woOd-chuck in hole,
the Democrats become anxious that we
shouldn't hurt the rebels. He threw out
the idea that God waa in this contest, and
that it will demonstrate the fact that the
people can and will govern themselves.
In reply to the Democratic talk about
arbitrary arrests, he referred to McClel-
hans Banks letter, and gave the history Of
the famous Judge Hall case, and General
Jackson's fine, with crushing effect.
Treason, said he, is as bad now
as when John Brown was hung.
TGreat applause.1 He stated that there
were in Ohio as proved before the Grand
Jury in Cleveland, over seventy organize
tIons of the Knights.of the Golden Circle,
pledged TO wade in blood to their knees, to
dethrone Abraham Lincoln, and rehesrsed
the recent disclosures rs to organizations in
Indians and the West -4es
The speaker proceeded in vigorous and
telling manner, to defend the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation and policy, and the arm
ing of the blacks, and closed in beautiful
allusious TO the grandeur Of the Union,
which was greeted with great and prolong-
ed applause.
GENERAL SCIENCE.
Mr.. Payne introduced General Sohenck,
who .npke with great power and vigor for
some two hours. A pressure Of circum-
stances prevents any sketch Of his remarks,
and we f1rsgo it with the less regret be-
cause of the very full report Of bis CleVe-
land speech, in the Lsader ofthis morn
ing. We hope, to give at smother time
full report OF the parts Of his
speech which touched on slavery to-
gg:her with salient points Of bis address
The meeting was Us q whole one Of the
most successful ever held in Portage Coun-
tv, and was proof Of the interest which
her citizens feel in the present crisis:
ANo Banners f1oated but the old tag
and no attempt at display was made. But
there was a big meeting and great enthu-
siasm; and never were an audience better
pleased with speaker than this to-day
with general Sehenek,
Sou may put down Portage for Lincoln
by bigger majority than she gave for
BroughSand that was big enough In al.
