nEmocRArIo MEETING

Alarge and enthusiastic meeting of DEM
ocrats and Conservatives was held at
Grove City on Saturday evening. On mo-
tion of Mr.. Vanseaver, VIM. NeiswaDder,
E.q., was made chairman. G. Loewenstein,
Esq, was then introduced by the chairman
and addressed the meeting in the German
language. The speaker at great length
very ably discussed the condition OF the
country, the financial question and the
schemes and usurpations of the Radicals.
! As he proceeded in his remarks exposing
the doings of the last Congress, theii vii
famous designs with regard to impeach-
ment and reconstruction of the Southern
States, under negro supremacy, he was
vociferously applauded. Mr.. Loewenstein
then made very eloquent and forcible ap-
peal and called upon the Germans to rally
to the rescue of violated Constitution, as
the last hope of civil liberty and free Gov
ernuient. At the close of the address,
which occupied more than two hours in
delivery, three hearty cheers were given
tor the speaker. Mr.. Loewenstein then
spoke in English, and in very able speech
of nearly an hour discussed the prospects
of the campaign, showing satisfactorily to
every one present that the only salvation
of the country from impending ruin, an
archy and bankruptcy depended upon the
election of a skilled and accomplished
statesman to the presidential chair, and q
democratic conservative Congress. The
meeting then adjourned with three rousing
cheers for Seymour, Blair, Thomas and the
Democratic ticket. 4 2ii q -a'5fE1ao-

townships turned out en- masse on last SAT-
.urday afternoon. The Jefferson township
band played several patriotic airs in splen-
did style, while the "Old Geiger" gun
belched forth Democratic thunder. A
beautiful hickory pole, one hundred and
twenty feet high, was raised under the di-
rection of Joel Baughman, Esq, and 80
complete were the arrangements that the
pole was raised and everything furnished

inadequate to accommodate the audience,

the west side of Big Walnut. J. Agler was

turned out in large numbers on Saturday

amongst the best workers not only in the
