The Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Ohio) 1863-1886, 1864-10-13


Of the present campaign, was held in
Logan on Friday last. The process
ion was under the management Of that
accomplished gentleman +. f. Rom.
pei, Esq, and was orc Of the most
beautiful displays of the sort that has
been witnessed anywhere in the State.
Every part of the vast crowd was as
orderly and as well managed by the
Grand Marshal, as a single company
Of w.ll drilled soldiers in the hands of
tho best captain in the army.
At the head Of the procession as it
marched through the street, was our
own lancaster Band discoursing our
National aiEs-a style of music not
prescribed at Union meetings! Next
to the Band, there came bright,
clean, new omnibus, seated within
which were 81 sweet little girls, each
dressed in our own national colors of
red, Uhtte and Jlue. Mounted on the
top Of the omnibus there was beau
tiful young lady most tastefully and
appropriated y adorned as the Goddess
of Liberty, with her left hand she up.
held the broad folds of the flag of our
country, while in her right hand she
held drawn sword, thus symbolizing
that to those who would gather under
and ever be loyal TO the stars and
stripes, she would extend protection,
and give peace and prosperity; while
for tho rebel and the traitor she had
only the sword of justice and most
certain and condign punishment. OF
itself, this beautiful representation was
well calculated to arrost all cy es, and
to secure the most marked attention
but when tho boholder recognized in
the handsome young lady herself, one
Oho has J:cn made an orphan By this
great rebellion, and in the drawn sword
she held in her hand, tie Suord of her
orn dear fdther Wh0 had laid doun lis
life for his country, it became q scene
not only appropriately beautiful, but
incXpressibly touching, and sublime
1t was said that great praise was due
to Mrs. Pullen (whoso labors in the
Sanitary Commission cause, are with
ont bounds) for both the conception
and the very successful execution of
this magnificent represcntion. Fol
lowing after what has already been
mentioned, there came an almost end
less limo of ladies and gentlemen on
horseback, and large number Of
fancifuIly dressed little boys, also on
horseback, and looking "as pretty as
pretty could be-; then came every
conceivable sort of wheeled convey.
ances, many of which were adorned
with ecergrcen$, and all along the line
of tho procession, were National flags
and patriotic mottos. Towards the
last end Of the procession there was a
representation of an old fiat boat on its
winding way Cup Salt River" crowd
cd with passengers--" Little Mack "
had secured a ticket, and, along with
Pcndlcton, was on his way to "join
Vallandlgham and Pugh' at that place
Unpopular resort of Northern traitors.
Next there came along Jackass on
which were mounted two riders wear
ing, respectively, masks to represent
Mcclellan and Pendleton. On one
side of the animal, in large letters, was
tho word "War" ON the other
"Peace' y The riders sat back to back,
Mcclellan being before, and each was
uttering his favorte sentiment "War''
and peace" Mcclellan was saying,
u" My roice is for War;" while Pendle-
ton said "liiHe is for RECOGNITION and
peace" Mcclellan was trying to push
Pondleton over the Jackass rump, in
order to have the whole Platform to
himself, and Pendleton was endeavor-
ing to push little Mack over the ami
mails head to the end that he might
manage things all his own way. Lit
tie Mack had, however, the advantage
Of his adversary, for it would be easier
to push q. man over that animals
runp than over his ears; aqd besides
this, and even when things were the
most favorable, it has always been
a hard thing to MovE little MACK
FORWARD
In the afternoon John D. Martin
addressed tho vast crowd in remarks
which were attcntively listened to, and
which occupied tho space of one hour
and three quarters. AS the speaker
was earnestly describing some oftho
plans and schemes of jeff Davis, and
his fellow traitors Of the South, to break
up this Government, (boforo Mr.. Lin
coin became Prcsident) an occupant
of one ofthc County Offices cried out,
