The Meeting on Thursday.

Lac Union MASS meeting n,
on Thursday last was lar@ pp'
: the audience was composGeVe y
class of men who came here to lis
ten to the discussion of the grea
political topics that arc at issue be
tween the political parties at tn
campaign which is now passing
Gen. Hayes, the Union candidat,
for Governor, spoke first, and han
died his subjects with great force
and with that skill that proved hin
to be master of the questions upon
which he spoke, and which now ag,
itatc the people all over the State,
and in fact all over the Union; for
the eyes of the whole people North
and South are upon Ohio, eagerly
watching for her to do her whole
duty in this political campaign, as
she did in the military campaign
through which we have passed dur
ing the late struggle for the prcser-
vation Of Union, and the progress
i've principles Of universal liberty,
and the maintenance of our glori-
GUS Republic. We but speak what
we have frequently heard when we
say that Gen. Hayes, as an orator
and a forcible debater, more than
equals the expectations of the peo-
pie. His speech was well applaud
ed, and will do much good to-
wards arousing the energies of the
Union men Of Fayetto county to
action, and finally to victory.
The speech of Hon. Columbus
Delano was one in which he main
tanned his well established reputa-
ton as an eloquent and able deba.
Ter.
In the evening Hon. Mr.. Scofcld
spoke to large audience in the
crowded street in front of the Will
son House. He is from Pennsyl
'ania, and formerly belonged to the
Democratic party, was, andis now,
member of Congress from the ,
Keystone State. He staid with his .
)arty until the leaders deserted it,
urned traitors to their government ,
nd favored secession, and there !
'as nothing for him to choose be. !
veen but patriots and rebels; and
s he was u true and faithful adhe- G
ent to the principles of Jefferson C
nd Jackson, he united with the t
nion party, and has devoted his
llents and his eloquence in support v
f the men and the loyal policy of !
lie unfinching Union men of the f
alton, His speech was enthusias- b
cally received as were the speeches S
those who preceded him. They :,
ere the kind of speeches that e
AN could take home with him and Il
)nder over, and the more he re- 81
'cts upon what was said, the more VI VI
dent will he become in support of
cir principles.
The meeting was a decided sue
IS and as usual at meetings of b,
e Union party, whose object is to he
ar and deliberate, the people were ri
derly, and retired feeling that the %
. day had been profitably and
'asantly spent ha

We Gull a few extracts showing
Democracy in three phases:

and when speedy death appeared to be inevita-

able, when he commenced the use of this simple
but powerful remedy. His health was restored
in very short tlme,and no return OF the disease
has been apprehended, for all the symptoms
quickly disappeared and his present weight is
more than two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his atten-
ton exclusively to the cure of cOnsumption,a and
the diseases which are complicated with it, and
the cures effected by his medicines have been
very numerous and truly wonderful Doctor
Schenck makes professional visits to several of
the larger cities weekly, where he has a large
concourse of patients and it is truly astonishing
to see poor consumptiyes that have TO be lifted

| Some five months ago 6 colored man
| hired to planter whose farm is about
| eight miles from the city. The laborer
was to receive eleven dollars per month
| for his work. After working about o
| month and half the negro applied to his
employer for a little money with which to
| purchase some clothes. The farmer put
| him off, and made promises for the future,
which he repeated whenever he was ap-
piled to for money. At last, after five
| months had elapsed since the colorad man
had first hired, he told his employer that
he could work no longer without being
paid at least portion of his wages. The
planter having his crops all secured, and
feeling no longer any particular necessity
for the laborer's assistance, cursed the black
man in the chlvalry style and told him TO
leave; he had nc money for him and did
not need his services any longer The
black man left with a heavy heart, but
finally sought legal redress al the hands OF
certain Squire Williams The planter
sued at the hands of Justice, made out
statement claiming that the colored man
had damaged himgreatly by leaving before
the time had expired for which he had
hired-when the fact was that the colorcd
man had been employed for no special
time whatever-and brought in bll for
seyenty-three dollars, eighteen dollars more
than the colored mans wages, rs his loss
sustained. The magistrate heard the case
all on one side, never allowing the colored
man moments explanation, and actually
gave judgment against the colored man
for eighteen dollars. The poor negro, in
great distress, came to the city and applied
to the former agent of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau for this county, who gave him
the proper papers to take back to the
Squire and have the case appealed to the
County Court. The above IS very fair
example of the style of justice colored
people get at the hands of their " dear old
masters" We do not wonder that they
love and appreciate the kindness of the
Conservatives. Nashville Press and Times.
