We publish the proceedings Of meeting held
at Sco,'s Tavern on Saturday last, not because we
approve of them, or consider them republican or
entitled to the respect and support Of the Demo-
cratic Pariy-hnt to warn tina, party OF the designs
Of few intriguing trlmmers who have for several
years been secretly working TO divide and conquer
them. The notice calling the meeting, invited the
Democratic Citizens CT this Hundred and we ac-
cordng!y attended. On arriving at the spot. we
discovered who were the geiters up OF the
meeting and the object they had in view. They
were set Of men whose democracy goes no farther
than suits their Interest," they had brought men
to the meeting who were never before known to
make any pre,ensions to belong to the Democratic
Party. These men participated in the proceedings
ofthe meeting-as did also some who not entitled
10 vote at the general election The trimmers to
whom we aude had been all the forepalt Of the
week busiy engaged in mastering their forces
and their efforts resulted in bringing to the meeting
about 25 or 80 persons, some OF whom were not
aware of the real object o! the meeting, and there
fore gave their sanction to the resolutions and
whom we have since heard DECLARE that having be
come acquain,cd with the design Of the persons who
got up this meeting, they will not support their
proceedings and that they consider that every gen.
uine Democrat should make bold stand against
them
To oppose this faction there we're not more than
Is persons, whose jealous efforts in defence of the
rights of Republicans, we're met by the most vic
lent and outrageous language such as we believe is
without parallel The men who made the most
clamor. and who the most abusive, and who
most strongly opposed the plain, upright course
which always has been and always ought to be
pursued at Democratic meeting, have been heard
to denounce the Red Lion meetings system
which ought to be broken up; and yet these very
men would now make use Of a Red Lion meeting TO
effect their purpose
A most violent and disgracesul attempt was made
to exclude the country Democrats from the nomi-
mating committee. The real Republicans, who re
always the friends of equai rights, wanted the com.
mittee to consist Of FIVE from tine country and five
from town. This the faction would not consent 20.
They were afraid Of the honest democratic yeoman
~, who they knew possessed too much integrity TO
be bent to their purposes. We trust the country
people will confer proper reward on these good
friends OF theirs next Saturday.
IN the proceedings olthe meeting, are introduced
