On the morning of May 9, 1840, a national salute was fired from the bluff south of Maine street, and this was the signal for the gathering of the one hundred and forty-one delegates which had previously been appointed from this place to attend the county convention to be held at Columbus. These delegates, or such of them as could at- tend the meeting at Columbus, were formed into procession around the public square by the marshals, Levi B. Allen, Jacob Gruell and Harrison Dills. First there cam...e a troop of horse two abreast. Then came a large yellow wagon drawn by four horses, in which was the band of the Quincy Grays in full blast, the carriage being surmounted by the flag of Harrison and Tyler. Next came the cannon with the United States flag, drawn by two horses, upon a gun carriage. One flag had upon it a representation of a log cabin with a coon skin nailed up on the side. But the chief attraction and cynosure of all eyes was the canoe on wheels. This was a long one, resting upon four wheels and drawn by four horses.
