A Blow Our Ontn0W 20 me WonnTcnfsts'
i asst weeks Democrat contained regular call
for meeting Of the coalition party, to have
been holden on Monday evening last, Tor the
choice of delegates to the Convention OF the
office holders and their friends, on the 9Th at
Fayetteville, in opposition to the peoples con-
yention of the 9TH. The meeting however
presented such a beggary show OF empty
chairs, that il was adjourned over to the morn
ing of the 9TH. On that day at the hour APP
pointed, one solitary gloryite presented him
self al the place of concourse, who took the
chair, by unanimous consent; having waited
however some time in anxious expectancy of
the crowd which was TO have assembled, and
not finding any "saplings" or other climber
for even secretary, much less for delegates,
the meeting unanimously adjourned, sine die,
to be called together again on some more aus
picious day.
Whether il was that the anniversary Of In
dependence was inauspicious and crowded with
too many recollections in i'll accordance with
the spirit and principles Of the party, or some
other adverse influence which interfered with
the expected meeting we cannot say But
whatever may have been the cause of the abor-
ton, we think it ominous for the monarchisfs
in this county.
We intended to have alluded also as faithful
chroniclers of passing events, to the celebration
held in the afternoon By the gloryites, but we
forbear. They achieved ''glory enough" in
the eyes of spectators; let history be silent on
the eventful scenes Of that occasion.
The great triumph at The election in Phila-
deiphia which we are enabled TO record this
week, is cheering indeed to every true patriot.
Ii is however but the earnest of yet more
glorious and extensive victory which is to
crown the persevering efforts Of the Wings,
and to cover with confusion, those who have
so long rode rough shod over a con6ding peo-
pie, trampling upon the constitution and the
laws of the land. We think if we can discern
the signs Of the times, that the people are pre-
pairing to rebuke in voice Of thunder, the
presumption Of those who have so unblushing-
| " invaded their rights.
