The meeting ut Dixon, yesterday, aud the one to
be held at Aurrason Tomorrow, both towns within
twelve miles Of this, have had the effect to dmin-
teh somewhat the attendance at the Union demon
ttrauon in Sterling to-day. There were probably
not more tlan three thousand persons present,
but the earneetncts and enthusiasm that prevailed
In That comparatively small audience Was not

tent1ous ard imposing demonstrations ut Polo and

There was the same zea! and the same determi-
nation to do It's share towards carrying the State
in November. The speakers this afternoon were,
