“WHOLE NO. 7323. THE NEW YORK | ERALOD. Pennsylvania Politics. OUR LEBANON CORRESPONDENCE. Lasayon, Pa,, Sept. 14, 1856. Political Antecedents and Present Characteristics of Le- bancen—Iis Vote in the last Presidential Contest and Pro- bable Divergencies in the Next—Proclivities of the Local Press—The Fremont Demonstration at Mechanicsvilie, de, de. I was induced to diverge a little from my projected tour, to attend a Fremont demonstration last evening at Me chapiesvilie, During my etey in Lebanon, which ia a very presperous little town, with a population of some twenty five hundred inhabitants, I instituted particular inquiry into its political antecedents aud present political character and prorpects. Previous to my visit, I was apprised of its former whig proc vitiee, and was not therefore surprised to discover that Use opposition to the dominant authorities was largely in the ascendancy. The vote of the county in the late Presidential contest wus :—Whig, 8,105; democrat, 2,118; free soil, 1. In the State conti sygof 1855, the aggregate vote was greatly di- minished, and the whig vote being absorbed in the Ameri car—a new element introduced into the political arena since 1£52—the record exhibited the opposition vote at 2,266, and the democratic at 1,865—the total being 2,093 loss votes than were polled in the national contest. The opposition atrength has been somewhat augmented subteqsentiy, and as fusion is the order of the day in this locatity it may be expected that iw ma- J rity -wil be fully equal to that of 1852, and probably a tittle enlarged. Three newspapers are published in Lebanon, to wit:— the Lebanon Democrat, Courier, and a German paper ‘The first, as its name imports, is Buchanan, and the two last Fremont. The Cornwall iron ore bed or bank Is located in this county, anc is probably the most rich and extensive ce posit in the world. It has been wrought actively for some fifty or sixty consecutive years, and yet rewrcely 4 perceptible impression has been made upon the apparently inexhacstibla supply. In its immediate vicinity are located several furnaces, which are in full play, affuraiog ‘uerative employment to a large number of ipdugtrious operatives. Having cursorily instituted the inquiries which my visit proposes, at4 P.M. 1 started for Mechanicsville, it being generally understood tbat evety section of the county, as well as the a‘jotuing county of Dauphin, would be well represented at the demonstration. Arrivea at Mechaniosville, I arain met Governor Ford, 0” Ohio, who wppears to be canvassing every nook and crapuy of these regions, and J. adams Fisher, E8q., & peomioent iawyer, from Harrisburg, who bas hitherto been regarded anold line whig. The evening beng a deightrul ope, the furmera apd the laboring men were ‘ut in oli free, and the meeting having been organized, Mr. Fisher led off in aspeech of one hcur and a quarter AT REPUBLICAN MEETING AT THE TABERNACLE, — ee by Henry Ward Beecher, Hon. John P. Hale and the Hon. Mr. Turner, of Ili~ nois—Great Enthusiasm, dc. ‘There was a grand republican meeting at the Broadway rnacie last evening, got up under the auspices of the Young Men’s Fremont and Dayton Central Union. ‘The time appointed for the meeting was half past seven "clock, but before the hour of seven arrived the whole low hall of the Tabernacie was filled to ite utmost capacity by crowd, the aisles and every place where a man could sit or stand were literally packed by the throng, while the gallery was brilliant wich ‘the elegance and beauty of the fair sex, whose sym- Pathies haye been so deeply called forth in the grea’ up- ‘Fising of the popular heart agaiast border raftian demo- Gracy and general miirule. Before 7}; o'clock every place in the building, above and below, was crammed full. A great varicty of banners, flags and other devices adorned the stage, columns, &o. One banuer to the fol- lowing effect, was gceted with great and enthusiastic Cheers by the audience:— perecernoesoceones secceerore nesses LoWa, VERMONT, MAINE, BRIGHT KARWINGEKS OF OUR FINAL VICTORY.
