A District mass meeting assembled at Greensburgh, Decatur county, on Friday last. Every thing was favorable. The roads and the atmosphere Heaven and earth seemed to smile upon the occasion. The gallant Whigs of Greensburg had made ample provision for a large meeting. They were not disappointed. The crowd was twice the number we anticipated. From early morn till near mid-day, the roads leading to the place were filled with delegations crowding to the village, with banners and flags flying ladies smiling, cheering -nd animating mnsjc flowing, inteispersed with coons, devices, mottos, balls, caricatures, and every thing the inventive genius could devise to amuse and interest. There appeared to be one continued and prolonged shout from sunrise until sunset. The number present was estimated by those who have been in the habit of addressing large crowds at 8,000. The meeting was oaganized in a beautiful grove north west of the town, about 11 o'clock, bv appointing the following officers: President,-J XH. II. CRAVENS. I'ice Presidents Milton Stapp, P. A. Hackleman, Coon rod Overturf. J. D. Howland, Mr. West, Milton Grejs, Fielding Canevangu and John Thompson. Secretaries. J. F. Stevens, Chancey Lewis C. F. Clarkson, G. B. Tingley, James Jelly and D. C. Rich. The President then introduced the Hon. C. B. Smith, who addressed the vast crowd wilh creat pt.wer for near two hours, when they . id j'Uirned for dinner, which was served up in the grove near by. After dinner the llmi. O. II. Smith, addressed the meeting. There is something dignified, noble and commending in the matter and manner of his public efforts, aod on this occasion he brought to bear all the power of his giant intellect, solemnised by the importance of the occasion and the principles he advocated. Every expression of his face and the deep outpouring of the feelings of his soul convinced every one that be did not lock :t the passing drama ;is anv chil i's plav. Il 'It th i' on the hvi'.n of the pree:U eonfe! le:wndtd ie b.ippi;e-;s hod prosperity of :;- mnnbered millions.

He addresses himself 10 the judgment and the understanding, leaving it to others to stir up the monkeys with jests,joke, anecdotes and sarcasm. His speech gives us a "i re exalted opinion of the speaker, and increased our devotion to the principles we hsve long cherished. When Mr. Smith concluded, the crowd dispersed. But a large number remaining in town over night, early in the evening the Presbyterian church was filled and we listened to speeches from Gregg. Cravens, Hacklemin and Rich. In their effor's they ranged far and near over the field of oratory and poh-,1CS-giving ns various specimens of the subhme and ridiculous, dealing in wit, sarcasm. hiiternesSjbombastic magnificence,mixed up occasiona !ly w ith a smatter ing of common sense. Taken altogether the meeting was first rate, glorious outpouring of the spirits of the whigs of this district. Ohio, The election for State Officers took Place in Ohio on Tuesday last. We have no reurns that can be relied on. We have var'us reports from Hamilton Co., from which e are disposed to believe that the lc.cos have bet ween 1500 and 2000 majority, in that Co. '3 also reported that the locos have about 530 majority in the Butler district. But we Clnnot decide the complexion of the State for snie days.

Thomas G. Pratt, our candidate for Governor, is elected by a decisive majority, and to the Legislature we have elected members from seventeen counties out of twenty composing the State. In addition to the great triumph of redeeming the Executive of the State from the dominion of Loco Focoism, to which it has been sub jeci for now six years, we have secured the following result in the Legislature: Whig.

The election pvorvu-Koro i.o. .,n. I '"1 ' - J ""HI., l'MIUlll' j confines of the City of Baltimore, has been con-1 jductcdina manner which satisfies the most! Sanauine friends of the Whig cause. The . questions at issue have been fully discussed by j them, and the people have spoken their sentiments through the Ballot Box, with an honorable and enlightened appreciation of the great interests involved in the election. Our opponents have exerted their utmost strength, and have been most signally defeated. In the City of Baltimore the contest has been one of peculiar virulence, and it has been sustained, on the part of our adversaries, we regret to saj, by efforts which will neither redound to the honor nor to the future strength of their party. This city has been the point upon which the exertions of the enemies of the Whig cause were chiefly directed. It was obviously their plan to secure a majority here which should out weigh the expected successes of the Whigs of the counties. All the means that money, personal endeavor, diligent misrepresentation, promised favor, flattery, or foreign interposition could supply, weie at their command. Under the combined operation of these agencies our opponents have won the city. They owe their success alone to an ujuioi urns ijexieriiy in me practice ol tnose arts by which the popular voice is suppressed and the popular will overthrown. The largest vote ever taken in the City of Baltimore heretofore was that which was cast in October, last year, upon the occasion of the Mayor's election. The whole number then polled was 14.898. Of these the Whig vote was 7,600; that of our opponents 7,298. The vote cast in the recent election amounted to 17.183. of which 7.968 were cast by the Whigs, and D.190hy the oilier parly, showing an in crease of Whig voles, to the amount of 368 and of opponent votes to the amount of 1,892. This statement speaks for iisell. We have no hesitation in expressing ourbeliel that of these 1.892 votes, roll 1,300 were falsely and surrep titiously introduced to the ballot box; that they have been the product of a skilful and dilii ffently perpetrated fraud up. .11 the tights of the real voters in I altimoie. Casting these !t th. majority w-11I ! hae len fur the Wliiij candidates, in accordance with the best t'timate which we had previously been able i to make of the election. The artifice f uur opponents, however, have been frustrated bv lhe rtevotj,.i, ,,f ,,nr frienU throughout lhe Stale, and we can iff.rd to take t 1 1 . .... the disadvantage which the micarriae of this city has thrown upon u. The Slate of Maryland is firmly and immutably planted in the Whig line, and she will assurdly increase the strength of her position in November. The battle has been already fought, and an honor able victory more honorable from the baffled stratagems of the enemy has perched upon our standard. We give the results of the contest throughout the State from authentic sources of information, such as have been despatched to us in the first moments of victory. Upon these full reliance may be placed. Let our brother Whigs throughout the Union confn.e in this communication, and imitate the example of Maryland. JAMES HARWOOD, WM.
