DenocratIc Meetings.
On Saturday evening there was Demo-
cratic meeting at Westeryille. A Demo
cratic meeting in that place was rather an
unusual thing-none having been held
there for several years. Accompanied by
Esquire Meeker, we reached Westerville at
about half-past six o'clock, and put up at
the Westervil.e hotel-a well-kept hotel
ke& by Messrs. Foos & Cipel. Atthat early
hour people had already commenced com
ing in from the country. A large delega-
alton, with the famous and excellent Max
well band, came in from the north after
seven O'Clock. When the meeting was
called TO order, abont quarter to eight
o'clock, a large Sconcoursel Of people had
assembled in front of the building ad-
joining the hotel, where there was an
admirable platform to speak from. 1t was
estimated that there were within hearing
from four TO five hundred persons. That
veteran Democrat A. j. Smith, Esq, being
present, he was chosen chairman, who in q
very ifelicitous manner introduced e. B.
Eshelman to the audience. Mr.. Eshelman
spoke for an hour and quarter and was
listened to throughout with the most res
pectful attention.
n At the conclusion of Mr.. Eshelman's
speech, Mr.. Smith was called out and re-
sponded in very happy effort Of half an
hour, when the meeting adjourned. A
large number of persons in attendance

largely exceeded their expectations.

Of the meeting. A committee of three,
consisting of Messrs. Jackson, Thompson
and limerick, was appointed to report a
Constitution and permanent officers for a
Sey mour and Blair Club for Hamilton
Colonel Baber was then loudly
called for and introduced to the meeting.
He spoke for over an hour in very able
and forcible manner, receiving the most
attention throughout his speech.
The masterly manner In which Col. Baber
showed up the Radical Jacobin reconstruc.
ton (more properly destruction) policy
was greeted with rounds Of applause, and
his remarks upon finance and taxation
were well received, clearly showing that
the only relief from the oppressive burden
Of taxation now weighing US down is to
vote for change of rulers and elect Sey-
mour and Blair. ~ NMA 65a

From Alton, Black Lick and Hilliard's
Station, we have no regular reports, We
hear that there were good meetings at each
point. We do wish that the speakers at
meetings in the country would do us the
favor. of reporting on their meetings on
their return. II certainly cannot be ex-
pected that we should attend In person and
report all these meetings, and we must
therefore depend on our friends for reports.
viii you please attend to this, gentlemen?
The meeting at Zirkle's School House,
Montgomery township, was fine one, and
