Democratic Rally.
otherwise

The Democracy, not satisfied with the fail
ure OF Saturday night, made another effort (;
and, by the aid Of posters and promises of
speeches from 2. A. ORION and H. II. GRAY
esq'S, Of Darlington, got together very fair
crowd of men and boys, on Wednesday even
ing They assembled about the Post Office
Steps, burned lot of boxes and barrels on
the Public Square and fired the cannon, to
attract attention. Mr.. ORION, being the on
" speaker present, he was placed upon a
box and discOursed to the faithful short
time, during which all the prominent Demo
Gratis had pressing business which called
them home or to the saloons leaving Mr.
ORION TO talk to the bows and a few who had
become quite laxative by a free use of Old
Rye during the day. When the speaker was
introduced he was received with three very
audible cheers; but, during his entire
speech, the audience was as free from ap-
plause as they would have been had it been
a funeral discourse instead of a political rat
itication speech to which they were listening
From the solemnity of the occasion one
would judge that it was the obsequies of
PENDLEToN, rather than the ratification of
SEYMoUR's nomination, that had called them
together. The desertion of Mr.. ORION, be-
fore the close Of his speech, by those whe
got him here, was anything but respectful
treatment, and We presume SO taken by the
sfoeker
Inc hsers got out the cannon and fired
three rounds efter which the gun refused to
speak and, after half an hours effort, it
was put away with the charge remaining un-
exploded. This gun, being strictly Re
publican institution, We are not surprised
that it refused to speak when caught in such
company.

Saengerfest In Mineral Point.

On Saturday evening last the German
Harmonic Society of this city gave grand
reception and supper to about sixty mem
bers of the Freeport Saengerbund, from the
city of Freeport, H. The Freeport friends
Gncluding a splendid hend) were met at the
Depot by the Harmonias with Pischers I'm
ion Band and escorted through our streets
attracting very large crowd of citizens
who speak in high praise of the music of
the two bands-to Lenahan's Hall, where
the visiting party was duly received and
welcomed The evening passed off very
pleasantly, the exercises consisting of sing
ing, instrumental music, speeches, dancing,
dc. Tba supper, prepared for the occasion
by the herman ladies Of the city, deserves
more than passing notice. Everything
that could be desired by the most fastidious
appetite was served up in manner that
few could equal-none surpass. We have
had the pleasure of partaking of many pub
lie dinners and suppers in different locali-
ties, but none that equalled in every partic-
ular the one got up for this occasion Moth
ing was wanting, and everything was pre-
pared IN the very best style of the German
ladies who are proverbial for there excellent
cookery. The hall was decorated in the
most tasteful manner and the occasion was
one OF pleasure to all who participated.
On the following day the two societies
and such others as chose to participate, re-
paired to very beautiful grove, where
stands, tables, &c, had been provided, a lit
tie out of the city, where they enjoyed
themselves very pleasantly, in a social way,
by singing, speeches, instrumental music,
general conversation, and feasting upon the
good things provided for the occasion. In
the evening the grove was most beautifully
illuminated by large number of transpa-
rencies of nearly every hue and color pleas
ing TO look upon. The large transparency
in the center presented several notices APP
propriate TO the occasion, among which
were the following: 'SHaynonio den Gosfe,t "
- Hell den S,e"gern;" Z" Frjsch, F},oh, Frei."
At an early hour the party proke up, and
each repaired to his home or lodging high,
ly pleased with the reflection that everv
thing had passed off pleasantly, and in ev-
cry way satisfactory to their expectations.
On Monday afternoon the Freeport friends
left for their homes, accompanied by the
Harmonias as far as Darlington. Before
leaving the Depot the band played several
airs that were highly applauded by those
present.
Whatever others may thin. Of the impro-
priety of snch festival occasions on Sunday,
our German friends are sincere in their be-
lief of its propriety; and nothing was done
by them to disturb or interfere with the
rights and privileges of those who thought
otherwise
