On Friday last, the great Muss Meet
ing of the (used-to-be) Democracy came
off at Waterloo. 1t was held under the
river bank near Lovers Island, - (the
ardent love of Andy making the bread

lately about Judas and his Master, his
pious adherents thought they would
take pattern from the latter, and SO
/" Launched out',their platform to the
waters edge, and preached to the peo-
pie on shore; thus they effectually
guarded against being out.flanked!
The old fogy Mills and one or two
new whitfield whetstones were set
grinding, and the thing was tapcrcd
out to a very slim point. TheAonly
crowd backing up the speaker on tile
platform, was lame duck of q lawyer
with two gaping goslings. The con-
gregation was a mass of sevcnty-five
souls--no, bodies; some got it as high rs
ninety-cight at one period, including
notwithstanding Republicans = but
that is doubtful. The Dubuque Herald
reporter could see only every tenth man
iat our meeting here; "he sworc he
couldn't seevthe crowd, there were SO

Waterloo, he put Oh his smagnifying
glasses, and every kangaroo is reported
as twenty live copperheads. Don't

Great Fruit Show.

Never has there been in all these parts
richer exhibition of Fruits, than that
given by Mr.. +. N. Chase, at Council
Hall, on Monday and Tuesday. 1t con.
sisted of all the samples which had
been on exhibition ut the late State
Fair at burlington, probably one of the
best shows ofapples and pears ever cx-
-hlbfted in the North West. A large
part of this premium frmt,was from the
orchard Of Leonard Brothers, Burling-
ton. The apples alone filled fifteen bar
rcls. Mr.. Chase, who is now one of the
most extensive fruit dealers west of the
Mississippi river, deserves much credit,
for bringing to'our midst this most in
teresting portion of our State Fair. And
We consider the exhibition distin-
gushing honor to Cedar Falls, -
On the last evening there was sale
of fruit, each plate of apples bringing
from 40 down to - cents, and each plate
ofpcars from S. down 10 81. "A conn

PETER MELENDY-D Dear Sir. NJ
must heartily approve of the Mass
Meeting. hope it will fully open the
eyes OF the good people, to the fiagitious
villainy and atrocious treachery of
Andy Johnson. How marked these
traits, in his depraved and scandulous
attacks upon Congress, the loyal peo-
pie OF the North, and the Union men
of the South, in his base intidelity to
the party that elected him, and i'm his
treachery to his country. This latter
in his efforts to re-instate rebels
in office, with the blood of treason drip.
ping from their fingers, and to trans.
Ter the government into their hands.
Yes IL rs in my heart to be with you.
May the blessing of Heaven rest up
on you, and upon all such meetings,
and may Andy johnson and his "my.
policy together be sunk, like Sodom
" Suffering the vengeance of Eternal
fire." for his treachery to liberty and
justice, as well MS his own allies in sup
pressing the rebellion.

REsPECTED SIR: ~ NV
best wishes shall attend you, AMI +
trust great good may result, not only
from your meeting, but from many
others of similar character this fall.
The horrid monstrosities of this new
mingled, would-be political Dictatorship,

to be seen by the intelligent masses, to
be shunned anddcspised by all-aIl who
have a heart in the right place, and n

ward, q. @. A. j. 81
Treason of the jeff Davis style was
unprecidcntedly criminal and wicked.
But it remained for Andy Johnson to
nlake.t treason odious!n3F He promised
to do this. and in my humble Judge
meDt he has kept his promise. i'm let
ter and IN spirit. He has indeed sur
passed all previous efforts in making
treason oilious.o
jeff Davis sought to deceive no one.
but made known to the world his real
dcsire;-declared himself opposed to
our form offree Government, and fanat-
ically but avowcdly sought to dismem-
Der the Union. And we have reason
to believe, that Davis was led to hope,
from encouragement given him by
ANOiliiCi II liu1tOI5, tIit the lnlnL
would be accomplished, with little sac
rifice of blood or treasure.
Andy Johnson, on the other hand,
disregarding the lesson of experience.
taught by the blood of hundreds OF
thousands of Americas noblest sons.

Davis failed to accomplish by open
war; ae3 "a t. 7si Nd 4 d 49, a-'

Judgement OF man assign to each his
proper place upon the ladder of crime.
Let the Republican party be under

the Republicans be understood as not
opposing, but as honestly desiria1 the
restoration OF each and every State to
its proper relation i'm the General Gov

resentation in all branches of the Gem

party asks, that the States be re. install
ed in the Government without punish
ment for past transgressions, or reason
able hope for future good conduct.
The dividing line shall not he one to
exclude State, but to exclude still
rebcllious State. Outlaws shall not lac

Gus rebels be admitted to Cong ress.
Never! no, never!
