speech, alluded to the Importance of the
pending spring elections, and urged hi!
Democratic friends to see to 1t that every
Democrat in the city of Columbus should
be present, and cast his vote at the election
to be held on Monday next. He said tha
much depended in the manner of cond act
ing the spring elections; for such elections
were an index to the victories that awaited
the Democracy this fall, if full vote coult
be cast e,rft- II So 1.-~E
Mr.. Jewett spoke of the great crisis
Through which the country was now pass.
ing, and deprecated the wild and revenge
full spirit that was abroad in the land, and
held that the Government ought still to be
the Government of the Fathers, maintain
ing all the liberties guaranteed under the
Constitution. He contended that if the
Republican party had respected their obli-
cations under the Constitution, and had
legislated for the whole country instead of
section, there would have been no war
and no distress. The ten States were
now knocking at the door of the General
Government for admission to their
rightful places in the Union again. For
more than three years, those States have
been kept utaof the Union, that negro
equality might be forced upon them, and
that they might be trampled down by ne
gro legislation, and negro supremacy. The
Democracy have, and are protesting against
these things; and while this is SO, you find
the party that has done all these wrongs
still asking the people for their confidence
He urged every Democrat to stand firm,
and still protest against these wrongs, and
public outrages. If the distinguished cit
izen of Ohio, Hon. George 81. Pendeton,
who had been named for the Presidency,
should happily be the standard bearer of
the party, he had strong hopes that sig
nal triumph awaited the great Democratic
party this fall. He urged the young men
of the Club to be jealous in advocating
and sustaining sound Democratic princi-
piles, for soon it would be their duty to
take charge of public affairs, and maintain
fhe integrity of the Government handed
own to them by their fathers. Mr.. jew
it's speech was grand effort.
DR.. Dilworth, of Stark, was called
Ipon, and made brief address,
n which he alluded to the impor-
.ance of maintaining the Government t
5 handed down by our fathers, and de-
Jared if the Republican party were per-
nitted to revolutionize it, in order to main
ain their power, ruin would soon overtake
.he country. He expected the young, the
nlddle-aged, and the aged Democrat to be
Jealous in maintaining the liberties of the
.ountry, lest they be overthrown by an
ambitious and unscrupulous party.
Judge Rankin not being present, Judge
Thurman then took the stand again, and
made short, powerful and stirring
speech, specially adapted to the occasion.
The meeting was one of the best of the sea-
eXcelled for the occasion.
