'f he Capital City of the old 4eyatont. State
was in a blew of light and enthusiasm last
night: the scene forcibly reminding us of the
memorable campaign of 1840, with its lug-cabin
processions, Rimy of banners, "irrepressible"
enthusiasm, and stirring incidents. In response
to the call for a meeting of the friends of LIN
COLN and CURTIN, there came an avalanche of
the people from this and the adjoining counties,
with hundreds of uniformed Wide Awakes, and
the city was literally crowded with jubilant
Republicans. The special train on the Cumber
land Valley Railroad, consisting of fifteen large
passenger cars, brought several hundred people.
The trains on the Pennsylvania Railroad from
the east and west came freighted with living
humanity; and the Northern Central and Leba
non Valley trains brought large accessions to
the crowd. The towns and villages and the
rural districts of old Dauphin, were also largely
represented, our sturdy yeomanry turning tint,
by hundreds to swell the ranks of the'army of
freedom, and listen to the eloquent champions
of the Republican cause, The visiting Wide-
Awakes from Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, New
Cumberland, Middletown, Marietta, Duncanon,
sod the mounted Lincoln Rangers, arrived al
mul taneously, were received at the depot by the
Hari Wang club, and escorted to Market Square,
making a magnificent display. In their march
up Market street, the gallant Wide-Awakes
were enthusiastically cheered by the thou
sands of Republicans who crowded the pave
ments, door-steps and windows on either side
of the street from the depot to the Square.
The biasing torches, the glittering uni
forms of various colors, the proudly waving
flags, the novel and beautiful banners, the
brilliantly illuminated transparencies, the ex
cellent music of seevral bands playing in con
cert, the constant discharge of sky-rockets and
other pyrotechnics, the enthusiastic shouts of
thousands of jubilant freemen, the approving
smiles and waving kerchiefs of ladies, all com
bined to make a spectacle such as has not been
wit neared lure since the Harrison and Clay,,cam
paigns, and demonstrated conclusively that the
people of old Dauphin are " wide-awakerin
the cause of freedom and free labor. By the
time the procession reached the square, thou
sands of people were assembled there, and the
reception of the Wide Awakes at that point was
of the most enthusiastic character, the cheers
continuing for several minutes. Alter a brief
halt the procession resumed its march over the
route previously designated, a notice of which
will be found in another part of thfs article.
THE MEET/NO IN MANKILT SQUARE.

The nominations were unanimously approved,
and when Judge Dom, who has for years been
a prominent and influential Democrat, appear
ed upe n the stand, he was greeted with a per
fect whirlwind of applause. After the cheering
had subsided, the Judge returned thanks for the
distinguished honor conferred upon him, and
proceeded to address his fellow citizens, giving
his reasons for abandoning the Locofoco party
and enlisting under the Republican banner.—
He spoke substantially as follows :
Fluor/ CITIZENS : While I tender you my
tuost profound acknowledgements for the dis
tioguialied honor conferred in calling me to
preside over this large and respectable meeting,
I deem it due to myseef, as well as to those
with whom I have heretofore acted politically
in thus prominently appearing as the friend
and supporter of the candidates of the Republi
can party, to briefly state my mans for with
hol
Democrding my reasons from either branch of the
atic party, and for casting whatever in
Pennspluania alailp it &graph, Qll)urobap afternoon. September 27, 1860.
'Thence I may possess in favor of the candid "rtes
of that party, which, (in my judgment,) is sus
taining, more than any other party of the pres
ent day, the principles upon which our Govern
ment was founded, and through which its
perpetuity and future greatness can only be
secured. To elevate the masses, and equalize,
as far as possible, all classes of white popula
tion by recognizing the respectability and dig
nity of labor, is a fundamental principle in the
theory of nr government, which commands
the d votion flour own people, and elici s the
admiration of the civilized world. Among the
first duties of our government, therefore, I rec
ogniz that of protection to the industrial in
let eats of the country, as necessary to the de
veimanent of our great resources, and the
employment of our people, at such rates of
wages as will enable them to rear and educate
their families, in a manner becoming citizens of
a great Republic, who now wield the destinies
of over 30,000,000 - of human beings, and upon
the intelligence and patriotism of whom, and
their decendents, depends the perpetuity of our
Republican Institutions. To Pennsylvania, par
ticularly, this subject is one of vital import-
ance, and cannot remain insensible to the de
mands which her Interests (in this respect) make
upon her citizens. While the great mass of
our citizens profess a friendship for the princi
ple of protection in the imposition of duties upon
imports, the fact can no longer be disguised
that there is but one party at the present day
whose attitude before the public upon this ques
tion accords with the views and interests of
Pennsylvania. Judge Douglas, the candidate
of the only branch of the Democratic party
that makes any pretensions of favoring the
principle of protection, in his late speech in
this city was par:feu/way careful to qualify his
position on this subject, by making revenue
the principle object, and protection a mere in•
eident, under which dudge the opponents o
the protective system have ever waged the most
effectual opposition against the great laboring
and productive interests of the country. I need
not repeat to you, fellow citizens, the attitude
of the Republicans in the last Congress upon
this question--they stood an unbroken column
in the House of Representatives, commanding
the respect of their opponents upon the floor.
By a manly disregard of the voice of sedition,
and a firm defence and support of the right,
while in the Senate, the measure was lost by a
mere majority of two, every Republican I be
lieve voting for the measure by opposing a
postponement, while Mr. Lane, a candidate of
one branch of the Democratic party, voted
against the measure, by favoriog the postpone
ment ; and Mr. Douglas, the candidate of the
other branch, was absent. These two gentlemen
now claiming the suffrages of the people of
Pennsylvania in support of their respective
branches of the Democratic party, had it in
their power to save that measure, and give to
Pennsylvania that protection which her repre
sentatives demanded; and 'yet it was lost.
Who can answer why, if the Democracy of the
present day is favorable to protection ? Fellow-
Citizens, tne power behind the throne is more
powerful than the them. itself. We haveseen the
voice of our Democsalic representatives almost
entirely silenced upon this question, and also
upon that of opposition to the extension of sla
very into the Territories, a favorite doc
trine with the Democracy of this State.
Why is it, that to be a Democrat of this day
a man must give up the time honored princi
ple of Jefferson, of Jackson, of Clay, and the fa
thers of the Republic? I repeat, fellow-citi
zens, the power behind the Democracy is more
powerful than the Democracy itself. The slave
oligarchy, entrenched in the Senate of the U.
S., has strangled the Democracy in its mad
efforts to override the Constitution and com
promises that impeded the extension of slavery.
While I deprecate, as much as any man, all
unnecessary agitation of the slavery question,
I cannot close - toy eyes against 'the influence
that question is exerting upon the legislation of
the country, nor withhold my protest against
the innovations that are attempted to change
the early settled policy of the government, in
reference to that question. The principle lately
enunciated, that the Constitution of the U. S.
establishes an institution inconsistent with the
principles upon which our government is based,
and destructive of, the intereakeof free white
labor, is a creed of Democracy which Iliave
yet to learn; and with that branch of the Dem
ocratic party that favors that doctrine, I could
not consistently act; and as regards the other,
with Its doctrine of popular sovereignty, quali
fied so as to mean the same thing in the South,
and whatever the courts may determine in the
North, I can conceive of no- other effect or
fruit of the success of that measure, than a
continuation of the scenes enacted in Kansas—
the precipitation of free white labor Into the
irrepressible conflict, under the most unfavor
able circumstances.
Another consideration has great weight in
my mind, and I apprehend will have great in
fluence in inducing thinking men to support
the candidates of the Republican party. We
have now presented four candidates for the
Presidency. The friends of three of these can
didates entertain no reasonable hope of the
election of their respective favorites, by the
people ; on the contrary, they have deemed it
necessary to enter into combination in:Several
States, for the purpose Of possible,) of defeat
ing Mr. Lincoln, arid throwing the election into
the House of Representatives—an event which,
under the present existing state of the public
mind, I pray God may not happen. The ex
perience of.the last organlzation of the House,
furnishes almost conclusive evidence, that no
election could be there effected, and no other
purpose ant:served but to rekindle sectional
strife and animosity, and perhaps imperil the
existence of • the Union. An instance of a like
kind is furnished in the history of our country,
occurring under less exciting and hazardous
circumstances—and yet, the universal , senti
meuta of the men of that day, were,_that God
might arrest a like occurrence in the future.
I 'believe he will avert it, and inspire the peo
ple to effect a clean election over all combine •
tione.
In conclusion, fellow•cilisens, allow me to
say, I have given this subject my most atten
tive consideration, and am billy satisfied that
patriotism and prudence prompt us to support
aNCOLN, ELUISIN, and Cum& as the only men
now, before the people, whom we can elect, and
whose elevation would promote the peace and
harmony of the country, and inspire confidence
In the stability of the Union and perpetuity of
our glorious institutions.
The Judge was enthusiastically applauded
during.the delivery :.of. is address. Having
concluded and taken his seat, lion. SratoN Cam
s:Box came forward and announced that Hon..
Can Somas had gone to Brant's Hall to ad
dress his German fellow-citisens, and that he
would speak in english to the people in the
Square before the meeting , closed. The an
nouncement caused great enthusiasm, and
hearty cheers were given for Gen. Cameron and
Mr. Sdruz.
The President then introduced Hon. FRANK
Basra, of Missouri. He congratulated those
present on the harmony and enthusiasm of the
occasion, but would not allow himself to be
lieve that this demonstration was merely a
welcome to the distinguished speakers and
himself present to address them. It was a de
claration of the people of Pennsylvania in
favor of the great principles of free labor and
free territory, now agitating the public:mind of
the nation. •No man could_discuse politica in
a ny shape, without alluding to this great topic.
Like the roads in England, whick all ran to
wards and- led into London, the questions in
American politics ran towards and induced a
discussion of human slavery. It was the great
topic of the thy—involved our development
and progress, and must eventually decide the
destiny of the government of this hemisphere.
He denied that the Coostition carried slavery
into the territory, and said he had Democratic
authority to sustain him in that denial. When
John C. Calhoun attempted to create a Consti
tutional doctrine that slavery was the normal
condition of the territories—that it was carried
there by the Constitution, Jackson came very
near hanging him for his treason. Calhoun was
the first to discover this principle and power in
the Constitution, and ever since then the
Southern leaders of the Democratic party have
insisted on its incorporation in all the platforms
of the Deroccratic party of the Uniori. And
yet even with this claim that the Constitution
recognizes pe.pertv io Arertas it does in a horse,
a cow, or a stick of tindier, the slave-holder is
continually asking Congress for special legisla
tion for its protection. The Constitution is
able to protect other property in the territories
by the influence alone of its own provisions,
and (be people acknowledge and respect that
protection. But slave property, although
claimed to be acknowledged and protected by
the Constitution, must he guarded by special
acts of Congress—must be shielded by fugitive
slave acts, and overshadowed And environed by
the decisions of the Supreme Court. It had
monopolized all the important legislation of
the country for the past fifty years. It had
made and unmade compromises to suit its own
development and extension—and was being
agitated now, to blight the growth of that free
labor, by whose influence and strength the in
stitution of htleator slavery was certain to per
ish. When the Missiouri Compromise line was
abolished, the bred Scott decision was bargained
for by the men who struck down that barrier to
the spread of slavery. The Democratic party
knew that such a decision would be made, and
therefore they pledged themselves to abide the
adjudication of the Supreme court, carry slavery
beyond the limits of the States where it now
exists, and spread its vices and curses over all
the territory in the Union.
Mr. BLAIR spoke of the influence of slavery
on the condition and situation of the white
man. He could remember well the time when
certain territory in Kentucky was occupied by
the families of white men, farmers, mechanize
and laborers. But those times had changed.
From occupying homes and farms in the tales
of Old Kentucky, these white men and their
families were driven to the mountain fastness,
and compelled to erect their family altars on
cold rocks amid bleak hills, or in dark and
desolate caves and caverns. This land, once oc.
copied by a multitude, was divided into three
plantations, owned by three planters, and oc
cupied by hordes of slaves. Thehuildings on
this land were devoted to pens for, nigger's,
stables for horses and sheds for jackasses, arid,
the people were jackasses for doing it. Such
was the influence of this hellish institu
tion of slavery on white labor, and it was
against this influence that he battled. In its
localities, man may teach infidelity; lie may
proclaim Christ an impostor and conjuror, the
Apostles a crowd of vagabonds, and the Bible
a vile tissue of lies, but he must not dare to
question either the humanity or the constitu
tionality of slavery. All other questions were
made subservient to slavery, and that was an
, other reason why he opposed the institution.
Mr. BLAIR discussed the subject of Slavery In
all its bearings and influence on the free insti
tutions, prosperity and progress of the Ameri
can people. He showed its evils on society,
vindicated the slave holder from the charge of
abusing his slaves, because it was his interest
to see that they were well fed, well' clothed and
comfortably sheltered. There was too much
money invested in them, to he neglected—too
much profit to be derived from their labor, to
impair the force and usduleess of that labor
by injuring the bone muscle, or diminish
ing in any way the 1. th and blood that urged
them to active moron. He alluded to every
possible position of the advocates of Slavery,
exposed their ignorance, and drew a vivid pic
ture of the demoralizing influence of this insti
tution on the society of the: white man. The
position of the Republican party on the subject.
was eloquently vindicated. They did not op-'
pose Slavery where it existed—they sought only
to prevent its spread. They struggled to pre
servethe virgin soil of the country free from Its
blighting effects—to keep it where it was—to
shield free labor from its degrading influence—
and to itoPtittraill would: be crushed eventu
ally by the weight - of its own accumulating
wrongs and incest&
During the remarks of Mr. Bunt, which
we have very imperfectly sketched, he was
frequently interrupted by the most enthusiastie
applause, and-several times was compelled to
stop until arriving delegations had taken their
places in the vast crowd assembled to hear him.
The impression he made was as complimentary
to the good sense and diScrimination of the
crowd, ea it must have teen grailfying, to his
earnestness and honesty of purpose in frankly
declaring his sentiments on the great subject of
discussion.
Dunn= N. Orr next addressed the crowd,
urging the people to be patient for a few min
utes until Carl Schurz had concluded his ad
dress to the . Germans aasembled in Brant's
Hall, when he would appear and talk in English
4
twee . gathered in Market Square. Mr.
Ott p 0
ded to refer 'to the various questions
; in the campaign, the position of limAtep n bli can
candidates, and the prospects of the Republican_
party. The Union was Republican, because the
principles and interest of every State in this
Union were invested in mutual prosperity and
general peace. This the Republican party in
sured. ( Mr. Ott did not take the stand to make
&gong speech, but merely to engage the atten
tion of the crowd until Carl Schurz arrived to
address them. Notwithstanding, he was very
felicitious in his remarks, and did not stop be
fore producing a good effect.
CABS Saunas was then introduced to , the
meeting, and was greeted with great enthusi
asm. He commenced by stating that he was.
sorry to have delayed the proceedings of the
meeting, but it was unavoidable on account of
his duty to his German Mends; who had given
him such a cordial'reception, and listened Rio' re•
spectfully to his remarks in Brant's Hall. He
had traveled in almost every State in the Union
since the Chicago Convention, and the tidingS
which be bore to them this evening were of
good cheer and encouragement. He had been
on the praries of the West, where Republican
ism predominated among all classes He had
been In the North and South, and the East•
and found the same principles existing in
mighty grandeur and overpowering influence.
He had been to New York, where fusion was
made the battle cry, and there the Republican
party was anxious for a union of all factions,
so that they could destroy the enemies of our
glorious Union and the Constitution with one
blow. He was glad to greet the people of the
Keystone State in their Capital. In this great
contest, the people of Pennsylvania had an im
portant duty to perform towards themselves
and the people of the whole country. They
had interests Involved which must be first es
tablished by their own vindication before they
would be recognized by the people of all eec
tons. In October that recognition must be
made by the election of Andrew G. Curtin. If
Pennsylvania sustained herself in October—if
she sustained the candidates of the Republican
party, electing every man presented to the
people, there would he no danger in November.
There would be no doubting, hereafter, the
earnestness or determination of Pennsylvania,
and no more refusals to recognise her interests
by protecting her resources as part of the wealth
and prqeperity of the whole country. Such
was the influence of free labor. Such was the
influence of a sovereign State sustained by free
institutions, and enriched by inexhaustible re
sources. If the citizens of such a Common
wealth were true to themselves, no party or set
of men would be false to them. If Pennsylva
nia was firm, determined and decisive in Octo
ber, there would be no future questioning of
her rights, but a full recognition of them by the
people of the Union.
Mr. Samna continued irttbis strain of argu
ment and eloquence for half an hour, showing
how intimately he was acquainted, not only
with the issues of the campaign, but with the
great interests of the people in every lo.ality in
the Union. During his remarks be not only
received the attention but 'elicited the enthu
siastic applause of the vast assemblage. Three
cheers and a "tiger" were then given for the
President of the meeting, and the speakers, and
three more for Lincoln and Curtin, after which
the crowd dispersed.
The Meeting at Bract's Hall:
The announcement having been made that
atar, Scauaz, the great german orator of the
west, would address our german citizens in
Brant's Hall, before the hour fixed for the
meeting arrived the spacious loom was crowded,
the principal portion of the audience being ger
mane, members of all political parties, who
were desirous of hearing their eloquent and
learned fellow countrymen. At half past seven
o'clock, Maj. Dam Mown& called the meeting
to order, which was organised by the appoint.
ment of the following officers :
President.—CHAßLES A. SNYDER, Esti.
Vice Presidents.—Christian Henry, Peter
Meyers, William Knoche, Charles A. Ban nvart,
Jacob Behm, 0. J. Reigle, George Bergner, Peter

Secretaries.—lsaac Mumma, David S. Herr,

Daniel A. Muench. •
The officers having taken their seats, amid
great applause, Hon. Cum Soaves, of Wiscon
sin,,was introduced to the meeting and stated
that he was happy always to meet his country
men in political meetings, and particularly
when it afforded him the opportunity of talking
,to them on the great subject afflicting the in
terests of every American citizen. He knew
and felt that it was assuming a great responsi
bility in talking to them when it involved a
change of opinion, a change of attachment to
party, end the adoption of new ideas and or
ganizations. But every man had a duty to
perform in the promulgation of the truth, and
he was not willing to shrink from his duty to
the country of his adoption, by urging the
countrymen of the land of his birth to open
their eyes to the truth as it was demonstrated
in -the political -action of the times. They had
left their homes because they were oppressed.
They had sought an asylum in this land, be
cause they expected to be free and protected in
their life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
How was such protection vouchsafed ? By their
devotion to the principles which ensured it. They
had heretofore, he believed, acted- with the
Democratic party, but had that party bestewed
such protection ? Surely not. On the contrary
it had. teed the foreign vote for the extension
of slavery and the crushing out of free labor in
all the States and territories of the Union. Af
ter flying from tyranny, and after giving up
dear homesin the old world to escape oppression,
the great majority of foieigners had been uncon
sciously lending themselves to the perpetration
of acts of tyranny in the New World, by voting
for the extension and protection of slavery.
They contributed that influence when they sus
tained the men and measures of the Democratic
party, because it has been the policy of that
party.when in power to legislate alone for the
benefit of slavery. Every man knew that the
,Democratic party killed the Homestead bill,
because it prdmised to prevent the spoad of
_slavery, and establish free homes on free terri
tory. - If-this was not the excuse of the Demo
cratic SP Itticit,,was to prevent the settlement
of the adopted cletzut on that soil, and reserve
it alone for the uses of 'slarery. Such was the
influence and design of the Democyatic party in
regard-to that foreign vote which has-been sus
taining it in power for so many years. Its last
act of injustice was to prevent a foreigner from
leaving the laid of his adoption, by refusing
him the protection of a flag to which he bad
sworn allegiance, while the act which it con
templates in the future was to bind all labor,
native and foreign, , blaCk and white, to the
.Joggernaut of Slawity, Could such a state of
affairs exist and be thteiihened, and not excite
the just fears of evertelligent white man?
He who was not stirred to action when liberty
called for aid and assistance, was unworthy of
the enjoyment of the great blessings which
freedom bestowed. And this aid was ever
needed where slavery was sought to be engraft
ed on the free institutions of any country. He
proved this by the condition of the free States.
He proved that where slavery existed, free
white labor was always impoverished, degraded
and imbecile. It was to keep slave labor from
exercising this influence on white labor that
the Republican party battled. It was to make
freedom national and slavery local, that they
struggled, and who could better assist them in
such a great and glorious contest, than those
who had themselves suffered from a tyrant's
blows and a bondman's wrongs. For an adopt
ed American citizen to hesitate in such a crisis,
was to invoke on his own head the responsibili
ty of neglecting a great duty to the race that
recognized him as a brother,' the country that
adopted - him as a citizen, and 'the God who
created him a man. There was but one way to
discharge all these obligations, and that was to
sustain those who•maintained the freedom they
were in quest of=to vindicate the men who
were contending for the protection of that la
bor by which the free man can only be elevated
—and,to seek in the Republican organization
the realization of all their hopes of improve
ment and prosipsit,y.
M. SCRINIZ next alluded to the American
and Know-Nothing movement, and denyed the
charge that the Republican party was = com
posed mainly of the men who formerly belong
ed to such organizations. He said it was na
tural for melt born on this soil to repel the
presumed encroachments of foreigners, and
feel jealous of their power and influence, when
they &tuned together as foreigners, or allowed
themselves tp be controlled and used as a class.
This the Democratic party had done, but not
for the purpose of benefiting the great masses of
the adopted citizeas. They used the whole and
reWarded only a few unworthy foreign dema
gogues, which fact had justly excited the indig
nation and sentiment of the native voter.—
Whenever a foreigner acted as an American,
which he is bound to do in all his relations to
the country of his adoption, his foreign extrac
tion was forgotten, and he was known only as
a citizen of this great Republic. But when
he allowed his old prejudices to be aroused by
appeals to new passions, and suffered him
self to be made the tool of designing politicians,
he lost his right and title to respect as an
American citizen. The Republican party never
appealed to anyiparticularslass of men. They
addressed themselves to all classes, as the lovers
of liberty, devoted to the protection of labor,
the vindication of just laws, and the maintain
ance of the peace and order of society. As
such he invited his German friends to support
the Republican:candidates—as they had sworn
to sustain -the Constitution and laws of the
land, they woidd only ; be still further discharg
ing the obligations of that allegiance by sup
porting those who were, pledged to defend and
sustain that Conslitution and those laws.
MR. Scums continued in this strain for near
ly two hours, when the meeting adjourned to
join the crowd in front of. the Jones House,
whew le was expected to address the people in
English.
THR WIDE AWAKE PARADE
The Wide-Awake parade was the most splen
did political demonstration ever witnessed
in this city, not leas than five hundred
uniformed men participating , in . it. The Pax
ton Lincoln Bangers, mouthed, turned out
sixty strong, and made a fine display.
This being their first appearance in our
city, the company attracted general atten
tion, and created quite a sensation. The
Marietta club, Capt. Baker, handsomely equip
ped in light colored capes and caps, paraded
sixty strong. They carried some beautiftil
transparencies, and presented a creditable ap
pearance. The Carlisle club, Capt. Todd, made
a strong turnout, mustering ens hundred men,
and were much admired for their neat appear
ance, correct marching, and gentlemanly de
portment. The Mechanicaburg club paraded
sixty men, and were accompanied
. by the ele
gantly equipped Brass Band of that Vatic The
New Cumberland club numbered about forty
rnen, and Middletown sent a delegation of over
one hundred, sixty of whom were equipped.
The Dancanon club, unequipped, was repre
sented by nearly one hundred staunch Republi-
Beans, accompanied by the excellent band of
that village. The Harrisburg city club, head
ed by the State Capital brass baud, turned out
about one hundred and forty men in full equip
ments, and made an unusually fine display.—
All the clubs carried flaw and beautiful trans
parenciea with appropriate' and expressive mot
tos and devices. The line formed on Market
street, under the direction of. Chief Marshal
Eyster, his Aid and Assistants, on horseback,
and marched over a very long route, between
files of people growing denser at every step,
and filling the air with their incessant and• tu
multnons cheers. As we before remarked there
were at least five hundred equippei
banner bearers in the line, and
excelled anything wehave ever
Looking as we saw it from an e 1
tion at' the lower Mallet House,
line passing down Second stre

scene was one to fire the imagination. In the
language of another, descriptivecid a similar
display, bad the stars of the mildly way moved

Dauphin, the scene could no have been more

valst the titieet seemed I' rally to be on fire.Eiery now and then so e enthusiastic Repub
lican in the ranks sent 13 a shower of rockets or
roman candles. At soVe points these were so nu
merous that the procession walked under an arch
of fiery balls. Several brass bands and a score
of drums and fifes made the streets echo with
martial airs. The streets thrugh which the
procession passed were almost as resplendent as
noon-day with the brilliant light of the trans
parencies, and as it, moved along the gallant
Wide-Awakes were greeted at nearly every
step with enthusiastic cheers, and the smiles
and waving of handkerchiefs by ladies whose
hearts are enlisted in the Republican cause.
To those who occupied elevated kits' thong, the
r,
scene was varied and picturesque, and to a high
degree exciting. Onward they came—the mar
tial music of the bands floating out confusedly
upon the air, the men clad in every variety of
costume, new with their torches crossed in
front—and then again with them inclined to
the right, and now to the left—marching with
military precision, and performing their several
evolutions with a speediness that elicited the
"three cheers," and then the "tiger" pealed
forth from strong lungs and enthusiastic hearts.
Onward—onward they came, until the last torch
had become dim in the distance, and the great
mass of people had hurried themselves to an
other portion of the route to witness the same
performance. At ten o'clock the party reached
Market Square, where they were distaised, and
the visiting delegations prepared to take the
trains homeward bound. The meeting was a
decided success. The immense crowd of people
in attendance, and the unbounded enthusiasm
manifested, augurs well for the Republican
cause in the old Keystone, and indicates a bril
liant victory in October, to be followed by a
still more important one in November. The
Wide-Awake parade was a splendid demonstra
tion, and one long to be remembered by all
who witnessed it.
The citizens of Harrisburg, without distinc
tion of party, deserve great credit for their
kind, courteous and hospitable treatment of the
strangers who thronged our city last night.
Many who differ politically with Messrs Baia
and Bontatz, paid their respects to these distin
guished gentlemen at the Jones House in the
course of the evening. With one or two ex
ceptions, noticed elsewhere, the whole affair
passed of pleasantly to the participants and
creditably to our people generally.,
