) houses of Gen. r. P. BUoKLAND, and Hon.
HOMER EVERETT. The others enjoyed a
basket dinner in the shade of the grove
THE SPEECHES.
S Dinner over, the seats about the speakers
e stand were rapidly filled and dense crowd
e gathered close about the circle, occupying
every available foot of ground within hear
e ing distance. Wagons, carriages, trees, logs
r and everything which could be made to furn-
e ish seat or resting place. were literally full
/ of people
/, The President of the day, Gen. R. P.
8. BUoKLANn, after few preliminary remarks,
introduced Gen. r. B. HAYES, whose appear
ance was the signal for three hearty cheers
from the audience hundreds of whom knew
the speaker as a student in this city years
ago, and meant welcome to the man as well
as honor to the General and Statesman by
+ their applause. stG5fH
, Gen. HAYES speech was model Of cam
: paign oratory, clear, pointed and really ex-
, haustive. 1t was the most telling, convincing
argument ever heard from the stump in this
county, and was, we think his best effort in
the campaign. After listening to him it s
easy to understand how he has driven Thur
, other of their sham breastworks, until they
have been obliged to take up the defense of
their infamous war record in the very last
ditch Hon. JOE. M. RooT followed Gen.

lashing the Copperhead Democracy without
mercy.
After the speaking was over, Judge j. l..
GREENE, from the awarding committee, pre-
sented the PRIZE FLAG to RILEY TOWNSHIP
as bringing the largest delegation of voters,
in proportion to the Union vote of last fall.
MAHLoN CHANCE, Esq, made an appropriate
response in behalf Of Riley.
Meantime Hon. FRED HAssAuREK of Gin
, cinnati was addressing a good audience of
his German fellow citizens in their own Ian
) guage, from another stand, with evident
good effect.
IN THE EVENING.
Mammoth Hall was filled in the evening
with an audience-a good number of ladies
being present-assembled to hear Mr.. HAss-
AUREK in English. In the afternoon James
: Parks the eloquent and gifted( p Copperhead
} candidate for Representative from this coun
} ty, and other men of like ability and charac-
} ter, had been busily circulating copies of
: burlesque on Mr.. HAssAUREK's speech at
Columbus last spring, hoping to destroy his
influence with the German population. But
Mr.. HAssAUREK turned the tables on them in
the beginning of his speech and kept them
, turned until the close, the audience greeting
every one of his keen retorts with a storm
of applause.
The speech was thoroughly American, and
will not fail to have its effect with the Ger
man population of this county.
This grand rally of the loyal men of San
dusky county shows the spirit in which they
propose TO meet the issues of the campaign
and we shall be much mistaken if the eighth
day of October does not show materially
increastd Republican vote.
Twenty Years Ago.-We have to
thank Mrs. PLATT BRUSH of this city, for an
old]uumber of the SandusIy Democrat, pub
lished at "Lower Saudusky, tnow Fremont
February 24th, l847," by Charles ]. Orton.
The paper, as its name indicates, was DEM
ocratic in politics, and about the size of the
i present so-ca!led Democratic Messenger
t but Democracy then meant hostility 10 the
spread of slavery, and opposition TO the
Notification heIesies of Calhoun, as wit
! ness the following extract from the Demo-
cratic journal of twenty years ago;
eN| The Hon. Mr.. Dargan, representa-
tive from Alabama, in opposing the Wilmot
Proviso, prohibiting slavery in the territory
acquired from Mexico, exclaimed" Say
TO the South that they are only fighting to
make Free Territory, that it is only for this
the brave men of Carolina, Georgia and AL
ALBANIA are periling then lives in Mexico,
and they will demand the settlement of this
question nolo, preliminary TO any further
prosecution of the war. Let the North,
Tsays the Sandusky Democrat profit by
this frank avowal. No time should be lost
in saying boldly to the ''brave men of Car
oliuia, Georgia and Alabama" THAT NO
MORE SLAVE TERRITORY SHALL
COME INTO THE UNION.-The editor
then copies the following paragraph on the
same subject from the Cleveland Plain
, Dealer, and endorses it, "If as Mr. Dar-
gan says the brave men of the South will
not peril their lives to make FREE Terri
tory is it expected that brave men of the
North will peril their lives to extend the
curse of Slavery 2"
In looking over this paper, we are remind
, ed of other changes, as well as that of the
Democratic party. The leading article is a
call for a meeting for the relief Of Ireland,
signed by S. Birchard, @. X. Watson, R.
Dickinson, J. S. Olmsted. A. B. Taylor, j.
, R. Pease, e. Cook, Geo. Van Doren, r. p.
Buckland, Henry Lang, j. G. B. Downs. G.
J. Pettibone, James Justice, J. @. II. Mont
gomery, Samuel Hafford, F. S. White, j W
Wilson, J P Haynes, l. Minis. John M
Smith, James Vallette, and others. Many
of the signers have gone TO their long home,
and others taken up their residences abroad.
, David Burger was sheriff of the county
he is dead. L. V. d. Cook kept a dry goods
and grocery store E. Leppelnan kept a
clock and jewelry store; j. W. Stevenson,
then as now, had cabinet shop and John
r. Pease kept stove store. There are
very few business advertisements in the
paper, it being filed mostly with sheriff
sales. The editor is dead, and we presume
better satisfied with his present posi- ton
than he would be at the editorial tread mill.
