the town vas full of eXultant people,
many of them having came onsidera-
bic distance to join their fellow-citi-
ems in the %jubilation. Bonfires and
rockets Illuminated the evening, while
the roar of the cannon sounded in the

valley of Twin Greek. All seemed to
enjoy the occasion; even the Repub-
licans themselv participated and
smiled as if a new ca had dawned
upon their vision, and they had been
delivered from the vortex of fraud,
corruption and misrule.
The night being cool a portion of
the crowd adjourned to Illusions Hall
Mt a late hour, when an impromptu
meeting was called by appointing
JAMES CAMPBELL, Esq, Chairman.
The first speaker introduced was
JOHN HoLDERMAN, an old citizen of
the county, who spoke very jubiiant
on the occasion, and congratulated
his fellow-citizens OH the signs of the
times as indicative that the people
were rising i'll the majesty of their
strength, with q determination to a
their government from plumber.
The next speaker was ABNER Dun
LAP, who complimented the jollifca-
ton with several practical and we'll
timed remarks. Among other things
he expressed himself hopefully for
the future, in good government and a
strict accountability in official stations.
That the Republic was established for
the benefit of the people and not for
the use of office-holders, and closed
by admonishing the masses to be true
to themselves at the ballot box.
The next speaker was Judge CAMP
BELL, who addressed the meeting at
some length, in which he stated hat
the Democrats had now came into
power in the Stale government, and
should administer it economical and
strictly show a reformin State expen-
ditures. He further claimed that it
was the mission of the Democracy to
bring the Republic back to its ancient
land marks, and to place it upon the
broad road of peace and prosperity.
He closed by exhorting the citizens to
urn out and vindicate these principles
through the bailot-box.
Mr.. Campbell was followed by
Judge HAINEs, who in his introduction
claimed to be an Independent voter
under all circumstances, neither seek
ing public position nor counting pub
lie applause, that he accepted the re-
suit of the election as ominous of
future reform in the administration
of both State and National affairs, and
that he cared not by whom this prin-
ciple was inaugurated, but felt con-
WINGED that it could never be ccom
plished within the Republican party,
as it was under the control of a cor
rupt moneyed monopoly. He further
advocated a repeal of the National
Bank charter and retiring that cur
rency by supplying its place with
legal tenders, and the repeal of the
act by which the President and mem
bers of Congress robbed the people
of millions of their hard-earned mo-
ney to enrich themselves. He also
advocated a modification and revision
of the Tariff so as to reduce it to a
revenue basis without protection
The speech of Judge Haines was very
frequently interrupted with cheers
and applause, showing that the senti-
r,ents he uttered met with a hearty
response from the vas crowd in the
