GRAND EXHIBITION "Wednesday after
noon Of last week was the time fixed for the
holding of a Radical meeting in this place.
Our Radical friends assembled opposite Fos-
ter's hotel, and organized by appointing
John Williams, Esq, President, with the
usual member Of PiceS, Of which the party
has plenty.
The meeting, though not so large as the
Democratic meeting of the night previous,
was respectable in point of numbers. 1t
was addressed by Harry White and S. Sin
gIeton, Esqs., in rather temperate language,
and adjourned shortly before nlghtfall.
1t was followed by a spectacle, the like OF
which has never heretofore been witnessed
in Ebensburg. Shortly before dusk spe-
cial train arrived from Johnstown, bringing
some four hundred passengers. OF these
large number were uniformed with caps and
green capes, aud were called the Tanner S
Club" or Morreli's infantry, from the fact
that they were generally under 2l years OF
age.
After dark these boys paraded the streets
IN tOlerable order, carrying lighted lamps,
looking quite picturesque, and attracting the
attention of nearly all the children in town.
This party swallowed up the meeting, for
though it organized, everything was "con-
fusion worse confounded" until the Morrell
party left The Tanners" in knots of two
or three, ran about the town, singing and
haliooing. The speakers, pair of fallen
preachers, beloved at the tops of their voices
TO an inattentive and noisy crowd, while
they were constantly interrupted by vocal
and instrumental music, hurrahlng and
swearing.
A large number had by this time become
intoxicated, and to preserve the decency OF
the town, and prevent further violence, our
worthy Radical Burgess ordered the public
houses to be closed, which, no doubt, has
tened the departure of these disciples of the
"God and Morrell-ity" party.
As it was, their prestige was much impair
ed. Some were unable to flight it out" on
their ''iine" Of march, while others, like the
foolish virgins, we're without oil in their
lamps.
The next morning showed nothing but the
platform, and two vessels partially filled
with whiSkey, which latter shows that they
have left some of their spirit among their
Ebensburg friends.
This Radical demonstration is over, and
We submit to the Democrats and Republi-
cans who witnessed it, whether it or the
Democratic meeting of the night previous
did most to elevate and improve the mind,
and fit the audience for that most importan Mt
of all duties, that Of casting an intelligent
vote? We know they will, without distinc-
ton of party, agree with US that at the
Democratic meeting the appeals were made
to reason, while at the Radical meeting the
appeals were only to the feelings and pas
sions of the excited listeners.
STOLEN HORSE AND THIEF CAPTURED
Maj r. Ryckman and Capt. A. Row, Of
Johnstown, reached our town, at an early
hour on Tuesday morning last, in quest of q
valuable bay mare which had been stolen
from Mr.. j. J. Fox, residing near Mount
Pleasant, Westmoreland county, on Sunday
night previous, and which had passed
through Johnstown on Monday in possession
of the thief. After reconuoitering abou
town for a short time, Messrs. Ryckman anC
Row closed in upon the thief and mare a
the Mountain House, where the gentleman
had taken quarters for the night, and in al
hour or two the entire party were on the re
turn trip to Westmoreland county. Tn
