Democratic Meetings.
llon. Wm. P. Jenks, of Jefferson county,
Will speak at the following places :
Corry, Tuesday evening, Sept. 1.
'Union, Wednesday evening, Sept. 3.
North East, Thuniday evening, Sept. 3
Girard, Friday evening, Sept. 4.
Mr. Jenks is one of • the most interestinz
speakers 'in the State, and we advise our
friends in the localities designated to make
extra exertions for getting out a crowd.
W. A. Galbraith will speak at North East
on Thursday evening, Sept. 3d—the sam
day that Mr. Jenks will be there.
A meeting will be held in Wayne town
ship, on Friday evening, September 4th, to
be addressed by M. Crosby, Esq., of Corry,
one of the most promising young attorney's
in the county. , •
11. L. White will address a meeting to be
held at Gospel Hill, near Wesleyville, on
Saturday evening, the 29th-inst.
G. A. Allen, Esq., of Edinboro,: will ad
dress the Democratic club of Girard, at the
next regular meeting, Saturday, August 20th.
In this connection, we desire to call atten
lion to a feature of some importance. The
disposition among our friends appears to be
to secure as many speakers at-each of their
assemblages as possible. We think this is a
mistaken policy, and that it, would be greatly
preferable for one speaker only to
re appear at
each meeting, except upon specially interest
ing occasions. Our Democratic speakers in
this district are limited in number, and, unless
their time is judiciously economized, we will
be unable to supply every portion of the
county. By having one speaker crap at a
Meeting, we shall be able to hold a number
of meetings in nearly every school district,
whereas, if two or three appear at one time
in any locality, the number available for that
point will soon be exhausted, and it will be
difficult to secure speakers fix future occa
sions. Our plan is better, alike for speakers
and people. When one speaker occupieki
the whole evening, the opportunity is affor
ded him of covering the whole ground of de
batC, and doing justice both to himself and
•his subject. When two or more appear, they
are circumscribed as regards time, the ar
rangement of their speeches is interfered
witipy and they are not half as likely to be
effective. We hope the Democratic commit
tees will reflect upon these suggestions, and
conclude to adopt our advice.
To the Democrats of the City and Vi.
cinity.
Our city and South Erie friends must be
np and doing, if they wish toaccomplish any
thing of value in the coming election.
We have complaints from all quarters, that
while the Democrats of the county are wide
awake and enthusiastic, but little of the es
sential work of the campaign is being effected
in the city.
The fatilt does not arise from any want of
intereA in the cause or lack of confidence in
the result. Every Democrat we meet is in
more hopeful spirits than we have seen them
in many years, and feW doubt that we are
certain of victory.
But hopeful dispositions and nrdent devo
tion to a cause alone cannot render it sue
MEM
We must work for it, and he willing, to
forego some of our personal comforts and
business obligations,
Important duties are demanded, that can
hot be shirked, or placed upon the shoulders
of others.
A eant•asa of the city must be made, so
that we may know who to rely upon, and
tike the ijecessary steps to secure their at
tendance at the October election.
Means must be raised to expend for speak
ers, meetings and documents. -
The assessment lists must be examined,
awl measures taken to have every Demo
cratic voter's name placed upon them.
The (lonian! voters must be looked after
There [trk scores ready for naturalization,
who should be helped to obtain their papers.
Meetings must be held, and committees ap
pointed to provide for them. '
Thee arc but a small share of the work
needed, and without they are attended to, the
city will fail to poll its full Democratic
strength in this campaign. '
We call upon every Democrat in Erie
to buckle on his armor, and devote a share
of his time to the cause from now to the close
of the canvass. A few have always stood
ready to perform their whole duty, but their
labors are comparatively ineffective, without
more zealous co-operation from the mass of
the party.
Democrats, do yoti really believe, as you
profess, thaton the success of our principles
depends the welfare of the nation?
Do you not know that if affairs go on as they
have, many years longer, we will be eaten up
ry h taxation, and every man's property will
be at the mercy of the Government officials?
Arc you not aware that it is costing us all
one-third more to live, than it would with an
economical and judicious administration?
Then, how can you he so swallowed up in
present gain as to neglect the inevitable re
sults of the future?
Business has its claims, but no man has a
right to devote himself to it with such zeal
as to oblige him to neglect the affairs of his
country.
If you want relief from your burdens, you
must-work!
If you want Radicalism swept from power,
you must work!
If you want a return to good old Demo
cratic times, you must work !
There are very few who cannot devote a
week or more to the important duties of the
canvass.
Leta be the pride of every Democrat, that
when the news of our victory flashes over
the wires in November, he can say, "I did
my share in bringing about this joyful re.
suit."
THE Chairman of the Democratic County
Committee, by direction of that body, has
notified all the Assessors in the county that
they will be expected to comply with sec
tions 12 and 13 of the General Election Laws,
requiring the assessment lists in each dis
trict to be posted up in conspicuous places
pre , . ious to the day of election. The law
directs that the g( nerd assessment shall first
be posted, and eight days before the election,
the extra assessments shall be added to them
for public inspection. For years past this
important feature has been wholly neglected
in our county, and we have reason to believe
that assessments of Radical voters have
taken place after the time specified by law
for taking no more names. We call• upon
the members of the County Committee in
each district to see that the lists are posted
up, as•directed by the het, and copies of them
taken by our friends. The copies will serve
the double purpose of assisting in making
the canvass of distriets,and preventing future
frauds.
Democnitic Ccinnt, Ticket.
ABSEWILY.—PhiIip 4. Becker is a leading
business man of our city, who has attained
wealth and influence by enterprise and at
tention to his occupation. He is,a 'German
by birth, came to this... Country at an early
age, 's a' hearty (heed of our Government,
and is immensely popular among all clases.
Mr. ll,itkeker has long been an active Demo
cmt, . always contributes liberally for party
purposes, and has several times been nomina
ted for county offices, on every occasion
without effort or desire on his part. He is at
present one of the hardest working members
of our city councils. James Lewis is a resi
dent of Corry, where he removed from
Marshfield, Mass., in 1861, to lake Wmana
ging position in the Downer oil works. His
services were so highly appreciated by the
proprietors that he was promoted to the
General fluperinteiadeiicy of that enormous
establishment, in which capacity he has
served several ytars with steadily increas
ing favor. Ho is an energetic business man,
pos- more than usual intelligence, stands
well among his fellow-citizens, and wields a
large influence.
TunAstuum.—lienry Ball is a Justice of
the Peace in Girard borough, and ,is widely
known as one of the most thorough officers
and upright, agreeable gentlemen in the
county. Politics aside, he would be just
the kind of person that ninety-nine hun
dredths of the voters would select, if left to
their individual choice, for the responsible
position to which he has been nominated.
Commasmornm.—There are few people
who do not know Wilson Moore, the stout,
jolly, good hearted, liberal and enterprising
man selected for this office. He is a farmer
of Waterford township, and deals largely in
cattle, realizing from his shrewd manage
ment of the two occupations, a liberal share
of the wealth and comforts of life. His per
sonal popularity is such that that if the Rad
ical majority were no more than a thousand
he could be elected.
Poon DEREFTOIL—Mid. James D. Phillips
is an old resident of Amity township, of
which ho is one of the foremost and most
useful citizens.. Maj. Phillips has secured a
popularity and influence not limited by party
lines. He has been a successful farmer, and
takes an honorable pride in his calling :
Arrnrron.-apt. W. W. Dobbins is one of
the best known residents of the city, a son of
the distinguished Capt. Dobbins, who pre
pared the way for Perry's victory, and a
Democrat through every bone, sinew and
filament: He served long upon the lake and
ocean; lived in California some years, where
•he held several important offices, has been
an extensive traveller, is well posted on every
public question, and would fill any county
office with credit.
SOVVEYOR.-11. L. Pinney, Esq., is one of
the most prosperous and influential citizens
of, Greene township. He is thoroughly ac
qdainted with the landed interests ,of the
county, and unusually well,%ltted for the office
to which he has been nominated. Few men
stand in higher esteem among the communi
-4y of their residence. He has ever been a
staunch and uncompromising Democrat.
The candidates for trustees of Erie Acad
emy are gentlemen so well known that it
would be a waste of words to particularize
them. They all favor placing the institution
on a better footing than it has been 'hereto
fore, and the educational cause would be
benefited by their tlection. •
The ticket, taken as a whole, has never had
a superior, and every candidate on it gives
entire satigraPtion to the Democrats of the
county.
Judge Brown for Congress.
The Congressional Conference at Ridgway,
last week, by a unanimous vote, presented
Hon. Rasselas Brown, of Warren county, as
the Democratic candidate for Congress. In
adopting this step, we are assured that they
simply obeyed the wishes of a large majority
of our party friends in every county of the
district. For several months past, Judge
Brown has been nearly universally conceded
as the most available man tolead our forces
in the Congressional contest, and in yielding
to the unmistakeable wish of the party he has
given a graceful and patriotic evidence of
his devotion to the interests of the cause: -
Judge Brown is ono of the fhw prominent
men of whom it can be truly said that "the
office sought the man, and not the man the
office." He has taken no part, direct or in
direct, in securing the nomination, and, in
deed, for a long time urgently insisted upon
the selection of some other person, He is
the very opposite of the Scofield class of pro
fessional office seekers, having always rather
shunned than courted public honor and posi
tion.. The only official capacity, we believe,
in which he ever served was as President
Judge of this , district; to which he was ap
pointed by Gov. Packer to fill the unexpired
term of, Judge Galbraith, deceased. His
course as a jurist was so eminently just and
satisfactory to the bar and people, that at
the fall election, when he was the candidate
of the Democratic party against Judge John
son, he received the support of hundreds of
his political opponents, and came nigh carry
ing his own county, which usually goes from
eight to eleven hundred majority against the
Democracy.
The personal and private reputation of
Judge Brown is unexceptionable. His amia
ble manners and generous disposition endear
him to all classes, and wherever he is known
he has scores of warm friends in every grade
of society. Professionally ho stands in the
first rank, and by a life of steady industry
and faithfulness. to his business duties he has
acquired those most desirable of earthly ob
jects=a good name and, a reliable compe
tency. He will secure the votes of many
who differ with him in politics, and his nom
.ination will strengthen the party to the ex
tent of many hundreds in the district.
CRAWFORD CO. DEMOCILAZIC , TICKET.-
The Democratic Convention of Crawford
county assembled in Meadville last week,
and nominated the following ticket:
Congress—W. R. Bole, Meadville.
Assembly—F.M. Robinson, Conneautville ;
Henry Hinkley, Titusville.
District Attorney—J. B. Brawley, Mead
ville.
Associate Judge-1L N. Allen, Titusville,
JesseMupp : Meadville.
Commissioner—A. W. Mumford, Fairfield.
Auditor—J. S. Doemn, South Shenango.
Samuel Richards, n Esq., the efficient Chair
man of the CO. Committee, was re-elected,
and'the whole of last year's committee re;
tahied.
The candidates are represented to be men
of superior merit, and selected with especial
reference to their qualifications for theplaces
for which they arc nominated. W. R. Bole
is a rising member of the Meadville bar, who
has always been conservative in his dispo
,sition, has a large acquaintance, and is uni
versally popular. F. M. Robinson is a resi
dent of Connenutville, one of the most en
terprising men in the county, and' a gentle
man of pleasant social qualities and more
than usual intelligence .. Henry Hinkley is
known throughout the length and breadth of
the oil country as one of the best fellows ex
tant His popularity , so - great that ho was
chosen Mayor of Titusville last spring on the
Democratic ticket, where the Radicals al
ways supposed they had a certain majority
of several hundred. 3. B. Bmwley is a law
partner of Judge Derickson's, and admittetily
ono of the ablest young men in Western
Pennsylvania. All the other candidates are
men,of excellent reputations and stand well
in their respective communities. Our friends
in Crawford• Confidently expect, and we have
reason to believe not without good cause,
that the Radical majority there will be great
ly reduced this fall.

stantial of his partyallies.
Q. What particular principles does ho
favor?
A. Those which promise to be of most
benefit to Glenni W. Scofield.
Q. What service has he :rendered?
A. Drawn his pay regularly; and patrioti
cally invested it in bonds paying seven per
cent. interest, free of taxation.
Q. With what particular act is his name
most prominently Identified?
A. Writing a letter in 1806, promising not
to take the extra pay which Congress had
voted to itself, regardless of the tremendous
taxation already borne by the people.
Q. Did he take the pay afterwards ?
A. I am sorry to say that he did, although
I have no doubt his excuse is sufficientlysat
isfactory to himself.
Q. What measures has he supported
Congress ?
A. He voted in-fitvor of giving uegrocs the
right to vote and hold office in the South and
in the District of Columbia, to keep up a
military despotism in the South which 'costa'
millions of dollars, to perpetnate -the Freed
men's Bureau, for feeding, clothing and edu- -
eating negroes, which the white men of the
North pay the expense of, and the burden
some arid inlquitims measures of the Radical
party generally.
Q. What are his views on the financial
question? •-•-
A. Holding thousands of dollars in bonds,
he naturally wishes them to be exempt from
taxation, and is bitterly antagonistic to the
plan of paying,thenkoir in green ticks,
Q. How does exempting the bonds affect
farmers and laboring men?
A. If they have property it must be taxed
to the amount of the bondholders' exemp
tion. A man who owns , a small farm or a,
house pays State, school, poor and all other
kinds of tax, while)ir. 'Scofield's property,
being mainly in,bands, goeS nearly clear.
Q. What has Scofield done for the good
of the district ?
A. According to a coirespondent of the
Gazette, he never built so much as a chimney
anywhere.
Q. Jas he invested in no public enterprise
for tho toMellt ef the district ? ;
A. None that I am aware of. -
Q. Was he "loyal" ditring the war?
A. E x ceedingly so, bat took good care to
render no service in it, and his contributions
to the soldiers were so meagre that they were
exceeded by scores of men not halthis e%tals
in' wealth.
Q. How comes it that ho hos been elected
to office so ofton ? , „ •
Because he is a politician by trade, and
knows just how to manipulate the •vices for
his own advantage. ••
Q. Are there. no rum, in the district who
would make as good Congressmen ?
A. Scores who would make better
WbY are they not chosen?
A. Because Scofield has his retainers in
every county, who live upon his bounty, and
having little else to do, employ a large Blinn
of their time in educating the confiding pea':
plc to believe that he is the best man thly
can choose.
Q. - Shonid such a man be re-elected ?
A. 3 think not. lie is a demagogue of the
first water.
Q. Bow can he be defeated?
'A. By all those who ;Fish to see tvreform
in the Government, atiol.honest men chosen
to office, voting for Judge Brown, the Dem
ocratic candidate. •'
Q. What are Judge Drown's views and
wind is hls character ? •
A. He is a just and straightforward eiliZen
who possesses tite respect of all whO know
him.* He served as Judge of our district
over a year and won the esteem of all par
ties. Ile believes thepublic debt should be
paid as soon as possible, so the_ people may
be relieved from the taxation and increased
expenses of living compelled by it. He is
opposed to:taxi.pg the tisrmer's and,mechan
le's property arid exempting the' rich man's.
He supports economy in the Government,.
and will vote against all unjust appropria
tions. He sustains the Constitution and
Union, and. gave snore to protect both during
the war than ECOAehr, tvlin' had 'twice the
'former's wealth.
First party—l have heard enough to con'-
vince me that Scofield should not be re-elec
ted. Aside from his other faults, a man who
will take advantage of his office to save his
own property from taxation, and thrust the
burden that rightly belongs-to himself upon
his neighbor, is unfit to be a representative
of the people. My vote shall go for Judge
Brown.

Important.
DlED.—Departed this life, in Walther's
Hall, in this city, of constitutional wdahness,
on Saturday evening, the 22d bast., the Grant
Club of Erie, son of the Irrepressible Con
flict and Military Despotism, • aged four
months and some days. 116 was a beautiful
and promising child, the pride and, hope of
his - parents, but, alas; the destroyer carte,
and he has been taken away, never to glad
den their hearts again. There is consolation
in the thought that the troubles • and lexitr
lions of this life will never bring his young
head to grief.
At the same place, on the same day, of the
same disease, the Young Men's Grant ,Club,
Infant son of the same parents. This poor
little fellow was - sorely afflicted frOtri his
birth, and few except the most hopeful of his
friends ever believed lie could survive. Ile
only gave a few convulsive kicks, directly
after his appearance upon the_ stage of ex
istence, and -Les iinto remained! in 4or
mant condition, apparently balancing be
tween life and death. •
BIRTIL—In this city, atidhe place and
time above mentioned, a son' to the Radical
party, Drs. Walker,W3hallofomin andoth
ers of equal eminence officiating: - The' rho th
er is a widowed relatbie of the unfortunate
couple 3s - hose losses are above related, and
We learn that they have determined to adopt
him as their owit • offspring. As a mark of
respect to his esteemed uncle, Black and Tan,
Esq., he has been named The Tanner's Club
of Erie. The little fellow is said to give
more promise of health and vigor than his
beloVad relations, and hopes are entertained
that ho may survive to maintain the dignity
of the family. The physicians say, however,
that he Is particularly susceptible to certain
kinds of weather, and shake " their heads
ominously whenever the_ storms of Novem
ber are mentioned.
Wn infer from hit late address that the
Ron. Galusha A. Grow, Chairman of the
Radical State Central Committee, has em
ployed his distinguished friend, boon com
panion, ardent supporter and fellow compa
triot, Elder Whallon, of this city, to relive
those productions for him. The skillful
literary character and faithful adherence to
the truth exhibited in the documents limed
over his signaturabear a matted resemblance
'to the Elder'acompositions, andeonvince us
that we cannot be- mistaken in attributing
them to his masterly pen. The illiterate
Radical who said the man who wrote these
addresses is a"fool,"must kayo bad his "early
education neglected."
How to Conduct the Campaign:
',,lt may be that ive devOte too muelvsiiace
to urging ifoon,tnw friends - this, valitt:Tf, or
ganization, and eireful attention to the es
sential work of the campaign, bUtlf:io, we
trust- our zeal in' the cause mid anxiety to
l
have all the time, money and labor ..xpentletl
to the best advantage, will be a stall 'cut ex
cuse. Our pally i.;,mainly Lonipuse of the
poorer classes, and finds it difficult to raise
the necessary amount for couslucting the
campaign properly; we and limited, It -Erie
county especially, in the number of our speak
ers; we have no officeholders and offii:e--
seekers ready to perform any service need-,
ful ; and we are, therefore, compelled to
make up in organization and a judicious dis
tribution of the means at hand for what we
lack in other requisites. These facts must
always be borne carefully in mind, and will
do Much to account for many apparent de
linquencies that may have seemed difficult
of comprehension before. -
The present campaign is one of more than
usual interest and importance, and calls Im
peratively for the vigilant co-operation , of
every man who values the success of our
principles. Among the first requisites to an
efficient use of our forces are the following :
1. 'Form a Democratic club in every di,-
trict; including all willing to join from the
age of sixteen upwards.
2. Hare sub-committees for each road dis
trict, whoficaduty it shall be to bestow special
attention to the party interests in their local ,
-L
3. Reeoz(l, the name of every- Toter
in said district, with everyone entitled to be
otibe =de a voter before November
'8d,1808: •
4. See that every one who will read Dem
oertitie papers is provided with at least one
good one. -
ti. Make arringenlents that will render the
polling of an illegal vote in the district mor
ally impossible. .
O. Take care that—no matter what may be
the weathc4-,every Democratic voter shall
beat the polls before noon of- election day,
on the 2d Tuesday of October.
7. 1 L00k out for the undecided or waver
ring, that they'vote with ns so far as may he.
Select the persons most likely to influence
them and have such persons see them before
the day of election.
.8. -: Say nothing about the Republicans or
doubtful men whC3 are inclined to vote with
us; if you do,you will probably lose them be
fore election. .
9. Remember that work—not display—is
the pathway to victory. One or two active
mot, zealously co-operating to accomplish
the above ends in each road district, arc
worthmore than brags bands or costly,par
aphernalia. , , ,
In connection It ith this'-object, we cannot
do better than pregent the followiti , z extract
from aspeeekmatle by Roa.W.A.,Wallace t
at Pottsville: •
"I come on business, and if can meet you
tis I wish, it may be
. productive of gobd.
-- What business is more important than that
which tends to the preservation of the lives
and pioperty of citizens. I ask the same at
tention to this he the spirit which you attend
to your private business. The successful
merchant attends strictly to the th•tails of Ids
busineas.rlikewise tha mechanic and - Um far
mer.' Palitics is a - httsinb-.4, anti must, if-we,
Antrntl to attect-miral, tve.uttcnclecl to with
care and fidelity. Organize from the bottom
up, not front the top down. We must pity
close attention to the details. What are those
details? Simply' to .write down 01 the- names
of all Democrats, of all Republicans, and of
all doubtful voters. Have an executive com
mittee that shall alloul to this., Sul -?ivide
your election' districts, 'raid 'brim , all the
weight of your influence to bear on .the
doubtful ones to change them. Go to work,
and don't blow abort it! Do it silently.
Hold your tongue about what you tin. There
is always some one in a locality silt° is weak
kneed. Go at him carefully and'iix him. I
come here to urge you to this. work. Pont
depend on' shows, processions and meetings.
Theydon't amount to anything. Go to your
esetntivp Vonimittee, and it will gibe you
useful work to do. If yon fail to make con
verts, why, resolve to orglinite the Democ
racy, and go as a phalanx to the polls. Take
warning by the thlling 'off in -von t. vote in
1867, by Democrats 'staying at 1101116. See
that every man comes to the polls on the day
of election.. Bring them, if necessary. This
work will tell in its influence at the coming
election. Attend to the men ready to be nat
uralized. The chairmen of the State and
county cOnunittees are powerless unless you
join with them and assist. If this work
should be done victory will be won. I come
to impress upon you the necessity of organiz
ing.. Tlic material for the work is in the
hands,of the county cor*ittee. Pam clubs,
and remember if we carry the Ke3-shine State
in Oetolicr, the West will go for Seymour
and Blair. The forning p,int is in 0,1‘, , ,, , r."
Common asit •is to have political meetings
in this country, there are connuritively few
who understand the secret of getting them
up to the best adraritag.o. Some useful hints
upon this subject, May be secured from the
following : • • .
1. Do not tix the day of 'your meeting and
then look up your speakers—they will al
ready, perhanhave been engaged elsewhere
for that very day—but secure your speakers
first Let them fix the clay.
2. One prominent speaker, with the local
aid at .your command, is amply - sufficient for
any ordinary meeting. Let the people un
derstand that he can be relied on, and do not
load your bills with an array of great names
only to disappoint your audience.
3. Have yoUr meetings, if, pos.itile, in
doors. " One in-doorMebting, even if packed,
is worth half a dozen out-door gatherings.
The former is comparatively easy and the'
latter difficult for a speaker to don trol.
4. If you must have out-door gatherings,
then seek ,the grove or woods, and fail not to
erect a stand for your speakers, and cover it
with boards, and with nothing else. Canvass
absorbs and deadens the voice, while with
nothing above the speaker's hend, j the voice
will rise in the air above, and ht fire cases
out of six he will break dowii.
5. Always put down upon your platfoi
whether in or out of doois, a piece. of coarse
carpet to stand upon. Never cover with oil
cloth, unless you expect your speakcr to he
lifeless and drift
G. Constune nA little time es poqsible isitli
preliminaries—in marching and counter
marching. , Get. your proce,shai e if you Intre
one, upon the ground with dispatch, anti licii
ceed at once to the business of the meeting
By following these suggestions, if will'not
he diffleitlt f)1- the Dentocrats of this county
to make a gain of 'five hundred in.their vote
this fall, and keep the Radical majority down
to twenty•five hundred. We have only

ED. ( )11. 4 EIEVETI :—The Democratic club of
Edinboro and Washington - Township opened
tine c.,ltlll :, :tign at Edinboro, on Saturday,
Augnst WA_ by milting a splendid hickory
pole, 124 feet in height. The turn-out :was
good, exceeding the expectations of the most
sanguine. Most prominent in the procession
were the delegations of Cambridge and Ye
nango, Crawford county. The polo was
raised, and the nag (a beautiful one presented
to the Club by the ladies of Edinboro in 18C4)
was slowly unfurled as the brass band played
the : - Star-Spangled Banner. When the flag
reached the flap, cheer after' fitter - rent the
air. The meeting was organized by calling
Isaac 11. Taylor, Esq., to the chair.. Stirring
addresses were made by MesSrs. -McCloskey
and Bole, of Meadville r and Allen,of
boro. The general topics of the day were_
- ably discussed. The speakers were fre
-quently cheered, the greatest enthusiasm
prevailing throughout the crowd. Themeet
ing adjourned to meet'at the Town House in
the evening. The evening meeting, irrespee
tive of party, was largely attended—a large
number not being able to gain admittance.
Many ladies were present. Isaac It. Taylor
Presided. Mr. Hughes, of Pittsburg, was first
introduced to the audience. His remarks
were the more interesting on account of his
being only a fopr-weeks old Democrat. He
served his time in the army and carries with
-him marks,df his bravery and courage as a
soldier.' He isays he is now fighting for what
lie bled on the battle-field. Addresses were
again made by Messrs. Bole and Allen. Mr.
Bole-dwelt extensively on thebond question,
winch is bound to tell on the election in this
country. Mr. Allen's remarks were brief,
but to the point. With his clear and concise
reasoning he created intense interest in the
audience. Mr. Taylor roll owed with a short,
earnest address. His truth and candor in
touching upon the most important subjects
of the day, fell with weight upon the minds
of those who have their country's beat inter
ests at heart. The meeting adjourned to
SAttirtlay, September sth, 1868.

LENVS :NEW Toni Cmccs.—This Circus
has visited 'Buffalo, and the papers ot that
city arc rapturous in their praise, saying that
it "surpassed any similar show" ever seen
there, and claiming an originality in its per
formances which places it head and shoulders
- over the usual Circus exhibitions. The
Courier says :
"In One point this circus is remarkable—
there tuns nothing said or done during the
entire entertainment which could offend the
most fastidious. It is largely owing to this
fact, which common report has advertised in
advance, that its audiences are composed of
the most respectable classes of the commu
nity. ijlVe could have selected from among
the sptztators at the afternoon ay t hibition yes
terday a thousand people Who •would have
been correctly designated as a fashicinable
audience at, as .6perit." . ;, •
.A feature of special attraction is the ap
pearance of James Robinson, the unrivalled
bare-hack rider, who has just ;returned froth
Europe and been engaged by' Mr. Lent - for
the season.. In order to give ladies an op
portunity• of attending the "circus, without
the annoyance of buying tickets at the wagon,
arrangements have been made for supplying
them at Ensign's book store.
