Wednesday of last week was truly and emphatical- y proud day for the freemen of Lischfield County; for the friends of Liberty Harrison and Reform every where Never before has there been in this section of the country ouch rally of the genuine bone and sinew, the farmers, mechanics and working men the intelligence and patrOtism-the virtue and integ- rity-of this good county, as was exhibited at the GREAT HARRISON FESTIVAL in this village last week. We cannot, if we would describe, in suitable terms, tho display of patriotic enthusiasm manifested that occasion-and shall attempt only brief description of what passed under our own Observation-premi- sing that such the nature of avocatons, that we were obliged to be in our office most of :he day. It must therefore necessarily be very hurried and m- perfect.

 On Tuesday, the citizens of our village, under the superintendence of the Committee of Arrangements, erected liberty pole some 75 or 80 feet in height the public green in front of tEe East Park-and platform for the officers of the meeting, the public speakers, the bands of music, and the revolutionary soldiers. Very few places in the country surpass village in the adaptation of the ground for pub

 lie display.

 Wednesday morning, the sun rose amid light Aeecy clouds, partially obscuring its dazzling rays and continued throughout the day until or o'clock the air still soft and balmy-constituting precisely such day would have been chosen could the peo- pie themselves have had the selection. The national

 flag raised upon the liberty pole, (wth strenmer upon the top0 and another upon the Mansion House. At an elevation of about ten feet above and acJoss the speakers platform was suspended the motto, in very large letters, plain white canvass-"THE Cow sTITUTIoN-HoNEsT RuLERs-A SOUND cURRENcY"- This we believe was the only device motto exhib- ted by the people of Litchfeld, as such, or by the Committeeman, for general one, do not know that one more appropriate could have been selected. At an early hour, wagons and horsemen and pe- desrans mostly from .be out parts of our own town. began to come in. About ten o'clock, train of wag- gons from the east, principally from Harwinton, bee tween 50 and 60, made ther appearance, with fine hand of music, and appropriate banners; they drove around the Parks and up North street, and soon re- turned to the Geen and were greeted with cheers by the assembled multitude. Immediately afterwards, train of wagons from the wes comprising the del egatons from New. Milford, Kent, Sharon, Washing ton, and Warren with banners and badges of various descriptions, came in sight. Marshas were despatch- cd, and they escorted in and like the pseceding- after passing around the Parks, mostly landed at the County House, receiving and returning the cheers of the people. This ,sain comprised all of vehicles, some four some two and some one horss waggons-about l7O in number, and extending absut mile in lengifn By the time the wescern.truin had reached its place of destination, the southern ana northern trains were both onthe march. That from the south, composing Plymouth, Wnterfown, Wood bury, Bethlem, Roxhury, South Farms, and about 40 persons from Bristol, in Hor,ford county. extended moro than mile nnd half, and had in it upwards of 200 wagons, some of them with six hOrses. At the head was the excellent band from Plymouth, 25 30 srongs all in one waggSn, and about the centre the fine band from Woodbury. They too, with ban of various kinds, passed around the Parks. and were joined by the trnin from the North. This was composed of Goshen, nlnRss enmassc Salisbury, Ca naan, Cornwall, and Norfolk, and made very goodi display. By the time these could be disposed of, the train from the dagona road tie north east, WolI co,tville. was waiting. This was composed of tie people from Torrnston, New Hartford, Bnrkhamsed, Winchester, and Colehrook-neary mile in extent and for their fine display of banners md nsostes were not exceeded by any which had previously rived. IL had by this time become noon, and it became necessary to proceed to the organization of the meeting

 We intended when the different trains cnsne in to town, have obtained copies of all the o,tos upon the banners. with n description of the designs. but were busily engaged until the hour of the breaking up of the meeting, that then found it impTacteabie. We obtained some, however, and these suhion-rssretting only tha, they so in- complete A gren, many of them too were of such that the pen cannot describe them-the pencil only, with fertile imagination, is capable Of convey ing the full meaning they were intended to convey.

 The Marshals of the day were Gen. Uriah Futile, chief, and Major Jason Whiting, ond Gen. Moses Lyman, Jr. assistants.
