u. Q. Rand, Olaremont, and A. J. Leach, Kas-

In the evening rousing ratification meeting
was held. Hon. Amos Coggswell, of Ovation
na, and Hon. Il. A. Jones, of Rochester, we're
advertised to speak, and at early hour court
house hall WAS filled to its utmost capacity,
and this without any special effort by firing of
cannon or bands OF music. The people had
evidently come TO hear and see and were not
called together by idle cIrisoity. Hon A. La
due, of Mantorville, was called to the chair
and after thanking the audience for the honor
introduced Hon. Amos Coggswell, who was
obliged TO occupy the entire time, as Mr.. Jones
naQ Deen unable to come.
Mr.. COggswen commenced by clearing
away the rubbish" - he softly termed it. and
called them mistakes OF the Republican party.
Thus, when the Republicans claim they put
down the rebellion, even if they did they had
done nothing more than their duty, and their
assertion that they did was q
mistake, showing conclusIvely from the
records OF the war department that there were
furnished for the union army 2,67S,000 men
while MIR. Lincoln only received 1,S66, 600
votes
He asked where these other million of men
came from. He asserted that all who voted
for Mr.. Lincoln could not have gone, as some
were old men, and many OF the young men
had heart disease and were unfit for ser
vice. So also, when they claimed that they
abolished slavery, II was a mistake, as it could
not have been done without the assistance of
the Democrats. These and others like them
were untrue and were only made to enable
them TO hold on to the offices.
He then asserted that the Republicans were
not only party of mistakes, but party of
extreme timidity and fears.
Then reviewing their action towards the reb-
el biIgadlers, as they termed them, and their
professions of fears In their ascendency, and
tracing one alter another from
their poSitions IL their lost cause in
their promotions by JEFF Davis for their gal
lantry IN their efforts to destroy the constitu-
ton and Union, and as they passed in review
one after another, commencing with Settle, of
Carolina, from csptain to brigadier James s.
Orr, David NJ. Key, the guerrilla Mosby, with
many others, and all given lucrative positions
The elimination was reached with the vivid
description Of the battle of Gettysburg, where
the gallant Hancock routed and scattered the
rebel hests led 5y the Rebel Bijgadier Long
street, who was rewarded first, by fat position
IN New Orleans, and lately as minister To
Turkey. When the SPEAKER rose 10 his height
and exclaimed, Afraid of the rebel brigadiers,
ere yOu:" ali could sec the righteousness OF
the assertion. The speaker then asked, What
had these men done to deserve this of the loyal
Repu6tjcdR party? and answered, simply voted
the Republican ticket, and that this was the
Only absolutiOn required for full ana free for
giveness. The scene at this point was almost
indescribablc
The meeting was grand success, and conclu-
sively showed by the applause with which the
speech was received that it was essentially
Democratic meeting. The speaker was
frequently applauded throughout, and contrast
ed strangely by the absence of abuse and rash
assertions which characterized the effort of
Jim Baker and Mr.Childs on the 5th. The Dem
Ocrats of Dodge county are awake, and will
give a good report of themselves in Novem
ber.
