Immense Meeting in Jackson.

The meeting at jackson on Thursday last, ad-
dressed by Mr. Vallandigham, was one of the
largest ever held in Southern Ohio. 1t num-
bered thousands Of people--so large that no one
could come near correct estimate. A tre-
mendous procession, about two miles IN length
marched through the streets. The meeting
was organized In grove near the town, at about
one o'clock and was addressed by Mr.. Vallan-
digham for nearly three hours In one Of the
most mastery and convincing speeches we ever
heard. The immense crowd were held spell
bound and listened with the closest attention
until he had concluded his remarks. The crowd
was fully five times as large as the Radical mass
meeting held in that place two weeks ago. One
OF the notable features In the procession was q
wagon from Liberty township, containing thirty
seven little girls dressed In red, white and blue,
and drawn by twenty-One yoke of oxen. The
Democracy of Jackson county are aroused and
are working In earnest. They will carry the
county In October by handsome majority. A
large number of persons went up from Ports
mouth, on the cars, to attend the meeting
Portsmouth Times,
Now we ask those who were present,
to mark the falsehoods in the above,
and then say what reliance can be
placed upon statements found in Dem
ocratic papers. Instead of the pro-
cession being two miles long, it was
less than halt a mile long. We stood
upon the portico Of the Court House,
and in the presence Of several Demo-
Gratis, among whom were Col. 0. +.
Moore of Portsmouth, and Porter Du
Hallway Of Jackson, carefully counted
the procession as it passed. There
were exactly ninety-six wagons and
buggieS, and one hundred and sixty
men on horseback. The wagons and
buggies would not average over six
each, which is very liberal -Four
fitths of these were women aud minors.
Then we have less than six hundl ed
persons in the wagons and buggies,
and one hundred and sixty on horse
back, or seven hundred and sixty in ALL
The whole crowd could not possibly
be estimated at over three thousand.
1t was much less than the Vallandig.
ham meeting one year ago.
All candid judges say. that there
were more persons at the show than at
Vafs meeting. The capacity of the
canvas, and the return of gross receipts,
under oath, fix the number Of persons
at the show at about twenty-five hun
dred.

"&5~While our friends are working
earnestly for Grant, Colfax and Wilson,
we hope they will not lose sight of the
Judicial election. Let it be remember
cd that Pike county, with its eight
hundred Democratic majority, is includ-
ed in the Second Subdivision of the
Seventh Judicial District, and the 9TH
er counties must overcome that major
ity if we elect our candidate. Our OPP
ponents are secretly working hard to get
this office, and are leaving no stone un-
turned to secure that end. We must
beat them. While tie Office is not a
partisan one, still both parties have
nominated candidates, and it is impor-
tant that a goOd man should be chosen.
HENRY A. TOWNE is THAT MAN.
A good lawyer, quiet, modest, unOs-
tentatiOus citizen, of irreproachable
private character and unimpeachable
integrity, with keen sense Of justice
and determination to do right under
all circumstances, he is Just the man
for the position, aud will add dignity
to the bench and give satisfaction to all
who may have business before him.
1t will take work to elect him, but we
can aud must doit. "-Portm0uM Tribune.
We hope our friends in jackson
county will heed the above. The car
pet baggers who come over from Pike
county can still vote for Newman for
Judge, while aiding in the election of
Sanns, and the Democratic ticket
Jackson county. Let no Republican
forget the election of Judge. 1t is i'm

eTOn the 18th of Sept, a flag was
presented to the Democrats of Law
renee county, for making the largest
gain in one yeBr of any county in the
State Tho Register closes its account
of the affair in this way;
at was ludicrous to notice the con-
trast between the speaker and his audi
tors, No orator in the State has a more
coldIy polished style than Sayler. His
bearing is tnat OF an aristocrat, while
his sentences are as pure and classi-
cal as Wendell Phillips's.
s'"Rah for Filmore-d-n If l don't
hOller all | want" shouted some inebri-
ated fellow just in front of the stage.
Sayler turned away in delicate agony as
the cry was prolonged by hundred
more.
'Show me the man that says amt
any better nur nigger," bursted forth
some individual, and halting Sayler in
his gilded sneer at the so-called attempts
at Legislation by Presidential procla-
nation.
Such were the words that were con-
stantly falling on the speakers ear. -
Here and there in the crowd, we would
see men rise up aud with clenched hands
blaspheme God and curse the nigger,
That crowd had no occasion to fear the
nigger. We observed one sable indi-
vidual come to the Court House yard,
and looking over iutO that mass, ex-
claimed in low words: "Golly, how I'd
hate to 'sociate wild dat crowd"
Cheers went up at Sayler's beautiful
periods, but they who cheered little
knew what was meant. He spoke for
nearly two hours. After he had finish
ed, Judge Oliver appeared and succeed
ed, in about two hours, in driving near
ly every man away. A considerable
portion Of his audience, when he got
through, was the band, and they were
paid to stay the thing out.
At night again, in the Court House,
the faithful were once more found.
There, Senator Hutchinson delivered
his historical lecture, which was as in
comprehensive to his audience as Greek
would be to Digger Indian. After
he had vanished in the smoke of his
discourse, poor Col Turley stepped out
to speak. We were sorry to see it.
But it was the triumph of spite over
honest convictions, and any one could
detect it in his lame, hating enuncia-
ton of Democratic principles. Sayler
was called out again and when he closed
the great Democratic pow. WOW had
breathed its last.
The Kentucky rebels crossed the
Ohio, the West Virginia traitor disap-
peared in the darkness, his brother
Democrat in Ohio sought his home, the
Democratic mogulS sailed forth for a
drink aud all was over"

@We give the following little"cute"
things from the Circleville Democrat,
with our comments thereon;
"There are over 100, 900 Federal SOL
diers who will this fall support the Dem
ocratic ticket"
You made a slight mistake there,
You mean Confederate soldiers.
"Thirty-seven Grant and Colfax
votes in Nashville Jail, most Of them
for stealing"
That is nothing. There are nearly
one thousand Seymour voters in the
Ohio Penitentiary, put there for all
manner OF crimes.
"The people are now paying eight
dollarSin taxes, for every one dollar they
paid under Mr.. Buchanan"
If that were true, it would show the
enormity of the Democratic rebellion,
begun under the administration of this
same Mr.. Buch anan. Aud why did
Mr. Buchanan, in his last message, call
upon Congress, and urge them t o raise
the tariff, to meet the Financial neces-
sitieS of the government" and to "rec-
ommend that measures be promptly
adopted, to enable it to discharge its
pressing necessities" See his message of
Dec. 3, 1860.
''It is estimated that on the average
there are one thousand men day
coming out for Seymour and Blair, who
voted for Lincoln in 1861.
We suppose they all came out OF
Maine, and that accounts for the small
number left there for Seymour and
Blair.
"The whoe annual expenses of the
Government under Buchanan were six.
ty-cight millions of dollars They are
now -Four Hundred and Scueaty One .NiH-
ions.
So much for the cursed rebellion of
the Democratic party.
"Reports from the interior of Penn
sylyania show tendency for the Dem
ocratic party. The canvass is going
forward in every portion of the State
with great vigor A great Democrat
ic victory in October is confidently ex-
pected."
You also "confdently expected a
great Democratic victory" at Gettys'
burg, and Vicksburg, in July, 1862
But you were mistaken. And you will
be mistaken again.
"The most earnest advocates for peace
in this country, are Wade Hampton,
Stevens, Cobb, Toombs, and other
Southern leaders, all Republican lies to
the contrary notwithstanding.
How lovely it is to see you and your
rebel peace advocates dwelling togeth-
er in unity.
"The people paid four hundred and
seventy-one millions in taxes last year
eight times as much as they paid un-
der Buchanan. Aud still the Govern
ment is running IN debt at the rate of
more than Hundred Millions a year"
That is the biggest lie you ever told
in your life. And that is saying good
deal for you.

Another Outrage.

Several weeks ago, JOha O. Steven
son Esq, who had just returned from
Kentucky, informed us about horrible
murder that had just been perpetrated
in Kentucky, a short distance below
Portsmouth. We then saw an account
of it in several of our exchanges. A
couple Of white Democrats went to the
house ofa negro, and without the least
excuse in the world, murdered four
persons, one of them being an old wo-
man ninety years Of age. The white
devils cut them to pieces with an ak.
1t is SO common for white Democrats
to murder negroes in Kentucky, and it
being the legitimate result of Demo-
cratic teaching, that we did not think
worth while to mention the circum-
stance; but in looking over our ex-
changes, we see that the Big Sandy
Herald is terribly outraged because these
murderers have been taken to Louis
vile, to be tried in the United States
Court, where they possibly may be pun
ished. The Herald wanted them tried
in the courts of the sOrereiga State of
Kentucky, where no white rebel was
ever yet punished for numbering ne
gro. In the eyes of the Kentucky
chivalry, it will no doubt be considered
a great outrage, should these Demo-
cratic devils receive punishment.

We find the following in the Ports

"Coming in on the train Friday eve-
ming, certain well-known Democratic
stumper who resides not a hundred
miles from Jackson, and who was on
his way to attend the banner presenta-
ton at IrcRton, came Unexpectedly to
grief. Being considerably "fatigued,"
the illuminator of Democratic princi-
pies took off his coat and hungit on the
bSck of his seat. Very soon the motion
OF the car jostled out of the pocket of
the aforesaid coat, and lato the lap of a
good Republican who occupied the next
seat, package which looked aud SMELL
ed suspiciously like a bottle of Bascom's
whisky. Picking it up and handing it
to the owner, this wicked Republican

What Does Indicate.

The World shows its wisdom by res
Olutely refusing to compare the results
in Vermont and Maine with the elec-
tions OF last year. 1t shows its knowl-
edge ofancient history, in all lsuch cases,
by searching forgotten records for some
election at which larger majorities were
obtained than now, We would remind
it that in old times Maine was the most
certain and trusted state in the whole
democratic line; that it gave Van Buren,
in 1886, majority of 1851; and that
its desertion of him in l840 was receiv-
ed through the country as tie death
knell of the democratic supremacy in
the nation.
But the World will do we'll to exer-
else its arithmetical powers on this
little question:
If, in September, 1860, a Republi-
can majority of 1851 in Maine indica-
ted an electoral vote in the states which
did not seceNe OF 1870 for Lincoln to
35 for all others;
If, in September, 1864, a Republi-
can majority of 5,9lS in Maine indica-
ted coming electoral vote of 22S for
Lincoln to 81 for all others
