Correspondence OF The 'ruh""o


JUSE 9th, 1874


Our usually quie! town has been the scene of
great commoton to-day. 1t has been the locale
Of one Of the largest political gatherings ever
held in this county, at least.


1t is impossible to get at any thing like prec
a few facts, from which you can make an infer
ence about as well AS one on the ground. Three
hundred and sixty seven teams came into the
village from the East, comprising the VIcToR,
CAyANparGuA and EAST BLOOMFIELD Delega-
lions. One hundred and seven of these were
four. horse teams From two to fifteen passen-
gers were in each Of these wagons.


Sixty wagons, some drawn by four horses,
and containing twenty or thirty passengers each,
comprised tie Lima Delegation from the West.


Then came another long procession from the
North, another from the South, and single way
ons, and troops Of hovsemcn, and footmen by HI
ties and hundreds, from all points OF the COM
mass. There wee also present Bands OF Music
from Lima, Avon, Victor, East Bloomfield, and
the one resident in our own town; and Banners
numerous, beautiful, unique and tasteful, but OF
which it is impossible to give an adequate de-
scription.


The first business of the meeting was the pre-
sentatlon of a very beautiful Banner from the
YOUNG LADIES to the CLUE OF this town. MI
IIeYRy X. PECK oficiatcd in behalf OF the ladies
in presenting their gift and in doing so made
very eloquent and well.arranged speech, to which
Hon. JoHS Dickson, President OF the Club, re-
plicd. MIR. d. IN the course of his remarks,
passed a handsome eulogy upon Woman.


Then came speech OF some hour and hall
duration from Ex-Governor SEWARD; and this
was. trulv. noble effort. Probably it has been
exceled IN depth of thought, in fervid eioquence
N impassoned earnes;ness, by few men since the
DAYS of Emmett His theme was, the Rights OF
Man-of men every where, Of all climes, concl-
lions and colors theme worthy OF the man,
and handled with an ability worthy OF ltsei!.
But Will not acknowledgements | am unable to
do ito give YOU even an outline of this most
mastery effort He delved deep into the most
absorbing, profound and interesting pollucal ques-
ton that ever agitaed this or any other country
to wit, Slavery. Oh! ! that we could see Sew
ard, aad Cassius NJ. Clay, as we must see them
one day, with all their erInor on, pursuing this
monster to its own native night But time Will
develop all things.


GEORGE Dawson followed. in speech welghty
with his usual strength and soundness, and
adorned with those gaIlants OF wit ior when ne
has no rival. He spoke upon the laHh, lexas'
Polk, PolkiRg, &c. &c. greatly to the instruction
and amusement of the thousands IN attendance.


MARK II. SlBLgY followed; and though labor
ing under indisposltion, and speaking but oreny,
the impression he made was profound, ana VIII
doubtless be lasting. He is enphatca!ly the
wELLBELovED SoN OF OLD ONTARIO, and ne IS.
indeed, very worthy of his parentage. Shoutd
Mr. Fillmore absolutely refuse to De the wing
nominee for Governor, will not Mr.. SIo.ey become
the second choice OF the Convention HE'S not
the second but the first, IN the affections oil num-
dreds in Middle and Western New-fork.


Mr.. WoKDEy OF Canandagus is speaking while
| write, and although late and the people nave
been all day on fatigue, without dinner OF othe1
refreshments he keeps them wiling auditors


The Glce Club OF Canandaigua have inter
>persed the exercises OF the day with numoe! oi
Whir songs: and the various Brass Bands N at
tendance have MADE the nils vocal Win fis'r
melody. The weathe, has been cool and orec:ng !:
no accident to mar the general good feeling and,
all in all, ihe day has been rare one iof tfe
Wings OF Old Ontario.


Next Saturday, the 29th. there is 10 be Wing
Mass Meeting ior Monroe County, IN Rochester :
on the 18th oil July a similar gathering al Geneseo
So you see, the cry is up, and the game atield ;
and the chase Will be unaba,ed TIL hide and
anlers are drying at the hunters cabin corner.

P. S.-W-e hope the Editor OF the Democrat,
Mr.. DAwsox,) will give at least sketch OF
Governor SgwARDs superb speech, II no more
The whole of it would be treasure worth naming
N ones will, a. rich legacy to future genera
tons.


The number present is vsriously estimated at
from three to fve thousand-the latter number is
doubtless nearer the mark.

ropean Times proceeded to Boston on Saturday
