The grandest and most imposing se

,\v-t Providence township, on Monday,
. ■it. 24. A large delegation from Bed

K:m. The last named delegation had
(inner with a portrait of President
Johnson and underneath it were sus
; -'Siiled tw o dead darks, the one labeled

tler feature was an old fashioned game
raster sitting, proud as a monarch, a
innng the branches of a hickory. The
enthusiasm was intense and every
thing passed off in fine style. Power
ful and convincing speeches were made
liv Hon. J. McDowell Sharpe, and (J.
H. Spang and O. E. Shannon, Esqrs.
We have not been handed a list of the

i- Radicals of Bloody Run, undertook
tnbreak up the meeting, by interrupt
ing the speaker and throwing stones in
the crowd, but some of the gallant
liemoeratic hoys "went for" the scoun
drels, who beat a hasty retreat. This
meeting was very large and was a grand

:;t the polls.

there were a large number mounted on
horses, who came in, in fine style. The
town was already crowded when the

streets of Centreville cheer after cheer
went up to welcome them. After the
delegations had arrived, and the band
and speakers had partaken of a very
good dinner at the hotel, they proceed
ed to the grounds, which were arranged
better than any others we have seen in

Colerainsjiejiks in thundertones! The
mass meeting on Monday night last, at
Rainshurg, was the largest and most
enthusiastic ever held there. In the
early part of the evening delegations,

the occasion with their bright smiles
and sweet looks. The meeting was ad
dressed by G. H. Spang, W.C. Sclmffer,
and O. E. Shannon, Esqrs., ably and el
oquently, discussing the momentous
issues of the day, and exposing the con
temptible sophistries of the enemies of
Constitutional Liberty, and the foes of
the White Man's Government. The
audience was attentive, appreciative
and enthusiastic. The Bedford Demo
cratic Brass Band enlivened the occa
sion by discoursing most excellent mu
sic. After repeated cheers for Johnson,
Clymer and the Union, the meeting ad
journed. Colerain will make for her
self a glorious record on the bth of Oc
tober.
