Q. II. BINGHAM ESQ.,
Dear Sir: Feeling patriotic, and hear
ing our young "mouutain piece" belch
forth, our attention was directed westward.
ly, when we perceived quite oonoourse
of people advancing with the glorious
flag Of our country waving over them,
and the martial band discussing good
music; so we tbought we would go and see
what was ITO be did" On arriving ut
the school house, there were the wise, the
true, the loyal, and others. Alta little
after 8 o'clock Will X. Lee called the
meeting to order, aud on his motion john
=. Alley was chosen President. Henry
Coen was also chosen Secretary. Mr..
Alley took the chair, stated the object OF
the meeting, and then introduced Leigh
II. Raymond Esq. OF your city, who spoke
at some length In an able and patriotic
manner, often bringing forth applause.
Leigh is q young man; but as the noble
patriot stood displaying his fne oratory,
giving the Democracy its just dues, we set
down IN our mind that ero many years
that young mar would be elevated TO
some high aud responsible position. We
say. go on, ia the glorious cause; n
brl sht fIties IS bfpre yoi
After the conclusion Of Mr.. Haymonds
speech, Mr.. Alley, the chairman. spoke
some time in manner that was calcutta
ted to convince any honest, thinking man
that the Republican party is the only true
party. Mr.. Alley said that we did not
propose to fight the Democracy with clubs
or bullets. but with the ballot, when q
Leading man Of the 50 called Democracy,
who was 30 very hot that he could not
come into'tLe house. said that they would
fight US with guns OF anything else. aud
the next time they fought US they would
give US more fight than they did before.
We suppose they will be led by L. Z.
Blair.
When Mr.. Alley closed his speech,
GRAFT and Colfax Club was organized.
Resolutions were adopted hailing with de-
light the spontaneous nomination Of Gen.
U. s. Grant, the true soldier. the tried
patriot aud accomplished statesman, and
the wise choice for Vice President of Hon.
Schuyler Colfax, Indiana's own beloved
aud honored son, the wise statesman aud
fearless leader OF me Union Republican
party 10 the Nations Congress, and pledg
ing ourselves to work with stout hearts
until the Union ticket is elected.
l think full proceedings Of the meet
ing will be furnished for publication in

dered MIR. Raymond for the able manner
in which he addressed us. Three rous
