Otitg'Oiiriiitf of llie People!

We hove just finished participaling in the crremonies of this great day, the 36ih snui-

Tersory of Tuylor's dcfencc of Fori Horrison, end will endeavor to give a brief des

cription of some of the nceties which will be long remembered in this part of Indiana, on this, the proudest day of our Stat*.

On the evening of the 4th, streams of people from all points of the compass were found wending their way lo this place, snd el nightfall our town was literally full, ®nd although the private houses were thrown open, they could not contain the multitude* of human brings which were seeti in oil

jtiarlers, and many passed the night in their wagons in town, or on the wny side near by. After supper, the Court House was illuminated and was instantly filled with an audience of freemen—the very bone and sinew of the country, who had left their shop*, farms, and daily occupation*, to spend a day or two in honor of Zaciiarv Taylob—the

people's candidate for the Presidency. As noon as all were seated and silence observed, Dflicn Esq., Presidential Elector of the 4th Illinois district, wascaMed to

the «tand, and in a very excellent speech, though luboring under severe hoarseness, he delighted his audience for an hour or more end often brought shouts sad hutzas fro* the

assembly. IP After a fw momenta of intermission, and the eveninR being *ety «rul(ry. a motion wn* made to retire to tho open nir in front of the building, when that pallsnl

Taylor in Indiana.

The nurobers«present were variously estimated at from fif^n to thirty tbousaud those who did not wish»to have seen a large assem

blage taking the smaller figure—some a little less, while the other side invariably claimed the latter amount. We are not a judge of such things,and can only say that about twen ty sciei of a grove seemed literally jammed while the adjoining prairie had living beings of both sexes, horses, wagons, carriages, &c scattered pretty much all over it. We will never agree that there was one being lets in this vast assembly than was the number of the veteran army uuder Santa Anna, which attacked Gen. Taylor at Buena Vista. Persons at a distance may form some estimate of the numbers pesent, when we slate "that Terre-Haute was full the evening previous and that by sun rise next morning, all th^ivenuea lo the place were crowded* One delegation alone, took two hd«irs to pass over the Wabash bridge, and the common exclamation on the ground was, "this is lite largest assembly I ever savo

On returning to Terre-Haute in the evening, the Court-House was lighted up and filled to overflowing, with gentlemen, anxious !o hear the orators talk about Old Zac, and until 11 o'clock, at which time we left, the '•atated preaching of the word" was eloquenty

dispensed from truthful lips, by Messrs. T. H. Nelson, of Parke, G. S. Orth, of Tippecanoe, U. F. Lincler, of Illinois, and Capt. Osborn, of Clay. This, indeed, wasan interesting meeting, a refreshing lime with the

friends of Gen. Taylor. After Capt. 0. concluded his remarks, we understand Captain

Rousseau was sent for, and taken out of his bed, to speak to the multitude, about his late commander. We were not then present, bul we weTe in hearing of the Court-House, and we thought it would have been beaten down, —such «nlhu?iastic hums we have seldom ever beer|l. We think the signs of the limes hereabout, since this tremendous outpouring at Fort Harrison, are unmistakably on the side of the people, and in favor of their candidate for the Presidency. A "little more grope" and the "hunt is up."

Of the gentlemen of the Press we noticed present W. J. Bausman of the Wabash At

las and

Simpson of the Rnckville Whig,

both of whom will return home and give to the public true histories of the proceedings they have just participated in.

We have not lime now tossy more—we intend this only os an outline, bul we hope next week lo give a more precise account and allude more particularly to the many burning, eloquent addresses which were made upon this never-to-be-forgotten occasion.

The day was very fine, cool and agreeable

and but for the d«sl in ihe roads was just such as any one might have chosen to do appropriate honors to the brave old soldier of the Rio Grande. Every thing passed off finely and agreeably—dinner cooked well and all eat up—good music—bands from Paris, Danville and Salem—good speaking—handsome ladies—clean children, &c., all of which taken in the aggregate, made the day one o( the most remarkable ever passed in Vigo. In the name of Gen, Taylor we lender the thanks of the Whigs of Indiana to every one

Letter to tlie lion. Richard W. Thompson. Baltimore. Aug.

14. 1848.

Dear Sir: Th* address von made at the great Tavlorand Fillmore Ratification Meeting, held in monument Squarp, in this city, on the 20th June last, was list-ned to by the vast multitade, assembled on that occasion, with the most profound attention. Your remarks awakened an enthusiastic feeling throughout the whole of that immense concourse of people-—one of the largest ever convened on that memorable spot. The address was regaided as a masterly effort, delighting all who agreed with you^in sentiment, without offending even the most fastidious of our political opponents.

Thus impreasetn»y ihe proceeding* on that occasion, several gentlemen resolved to present you with a testimonial of their regard for your character as a gentleman, as a patriot, and an intrepid and eloquent defender of the rights and honor of our common countrr.

To carry out '.his design, thev have caused to be manufactured by Mr. A. E. Warner (a skill fill artisan of this city) a Silver Goblet, having sketched upon it the splendid scene presented by the Square on that night. On examining it, you will observe the rostrum from which you spoke the Battle Monument reared in honor of the gallant dead1, who fell in defence of the "Monumental City," in our late war with Great Britain.—as also the vast concourse of citizens as they stood before vou.

We beg yon to accept 'his small tribute as a friendship's offering" from thiSse who entertian for you the highest personal regard.

On behalf of the subscribers, W" Hre moat truly and cordially, Your friends and ob^il'i servants,

ISAAC

Mr. Thompson's Reply. Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 21, 1848.

GentlKMEO: On the night before

by Mr. A. Warner, of your city, and present-

ed me by yourselves, and Olher gentlemeni

whom you represent, as a testimonial of

your personal regard and your appreciation

rights and honor of our common country. I had not then lime to answer your kind letter which accompanied it, but hasten now to do so, at my enrliest leisure moment, while remaining a few days in this city.

The goblet is, indeed, a most splendid spe-

n„^n

of June ingen

ne, with the most astonishing skill and luity. His faithful portraiture of the ^nischief. 'i

occasion, brings most vividly to my minn, a

recollection of the patriotic enthusiasm exhibited by ihe immense concourse of the citizens of ihe Monumental City" then assembled,—and will perpetuate in my memory the interesting and most gratifying associations of the meeting.

I shall regard this beautiful present, gentlemen, with the liveliest emotions of pride and satisfaction,— wiih lhat fullness and swelling of the heart which can find no utterance in words. I accept and shall preserve it as a "Friendships Offering'''' from the hands of those who use not these terms as those of idle meaning, but as indicating the higher and better emotions of the heart, deeply and sincerely felt. It will keep awake in my mind a remembrance lhat there is a common chord of sympathy, which unites me with/rtenrf8 in Baltimore, whose personal esteem is rewsrd for whatever I may have said or done on the occasion of your ratification meeting, and whose generous kindness and partiality will stimulate me to become more worthy of the high and flattering encomiums they have been kind euough to bestow upon my speech.

Be pleased, gentlemen, to present to each one of those who have united in this mark of prrsonal regard to me, my most sincere thanks for their kindness, and fur yourselves, accept the assurance of my highest consideration and esteem.

Most truly, your friend, And obecl't servant. R. W. THOMPSON.

were compelled lo go to p*f$a able to insert it. We deem the evidence it contains ol^auch a character, and important to the public at this time,

Some three weeks since the Detroit Free Press and the Jackson Patriot, both the advocates of Gen. Cass, contained articles basely impugning my motives and giving false reasons for my opposing his election— the falsity of some of the charges could tyily be known to Gen. Cass and myself. In a letter of the 28th ultimo I called upon him lo put the matter in its (rue light before the public, and in a letter to myself of the 7th in*t.. he denies ihe justice of the charges in the Free Press, and he has in private conversation denied the truth ol the charges in the Jackson Patriot but he has refused to give to the denial the same publicity that the charges have had.

I have in mr possession a letter from Gen. Cass, dated Washington, Feb. 19th, 1847, evidence that he abandoned the Wilmot Proviso for reasons far different from those set forih in his Nicholson letter, and in which I find satisfactory reasons for not giving him my support. My motives having been impugned through his peculiar organs, and he having refused to me justice, I feel bound in sell-defence to give his letter to the public, a copy of Mghich is appended.

This indefatigable whig ia now irr tbia citr, where he met hia family, on returning from his frduous duties at Washimtton^and where he rould enjoy a few days respite from labor, if the jVhigs of Ohio would permit. But they have ..'tile mercy on the raan. At Wheeling lie was stopped, and though in the midst of a faHgnlfig journey, waa constrained to tarry and lalk to the people.. He waa again intercepted at ZaneflSlle,and vtl'hout regard lo his comfort, put uponythe rostrum, which he occupied for the space of .two hours,' while the coach in which lie was (of ii lii) a passenger was speeding it^ourney on towards Columbus. But after hearing his talk, and affording him son* needful refreshment, the Whigs brought him safelv on his way, so that he reached Columbus (66 miles) in advance of the coach.— Hern he had promised himself some rest but •carce had he awakened from his first slumbers, when he was summoned to the low^f Scioto, lo address the people of Ross, Pike, Jackson and Scioto, in Congressional Convention assembled.

He had not returned from thl trip, ere he was billeted to speak at Xenia. on Wednesday next. The people of Columbus have forborne to press him for a speech, knowing Ihe numerous and urgent calls upon him from other places. They intend to hear him before be takes his leave.—OhioState Journal, Aug. 24.
