GIVE copy the following racy remarks, rola.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT FAYETTE.
We were at Fayette last Monday, and attended

cred about the Court House, and being curious to
know what was going on we went over. Presently
some individual, whose name we know not, arose
and stated the object of the meeting, which we I'M
derstood him to be free interchange of thought
and feeling in relation to the result of the late Pres.
idental election. Now, thought we, these demo.
Gratis going to set their Wing neighbors an ex-
ample of genuine democratic submission to the will
of the vast majority against them. But how diff
ferent was their conduct from the precepts which
they have endeavored to teach the Wings! How
greatly were we mistaken in our calculation! And
how utterly COMPOUNDED were we at the exhibition Of
Locofcoism unmaSked! There we Saw the gentle.
men in their true characters. There we saw and
heard men, who, for years past, have been profess
ing boundless love for the dear people, cursing the
Fear people with direst curses, and blackenng their
characters with charges Of fraud and corruption--
bought up!" Yes, Bought up! bought up with
British gold, is now the charge along the whole
line Men who have been huggng the dear de-
mocracy to their busoins with Infinite tenderness
tering them with fattery the softest and sweet
est, telling them, that in them and them alone was
vested the sovereignty Of our government that they
were the Woodworking, honest-lving, sorreigns OF
the land, the hard-fisted yeomenry, the genuine de.
mocracy, the bone and sinew of our national PROS
perty, interrupted and incorruptibe have the bare
faced impudence to turn around and tell these same
dear people, that they have sold themselves for Brit
ish gold Did you ever before hear of so daring
a fight of audacity!
The orators on this important occasion were Dr.
Lowry. Mr.. Jackson (Cashier,) and Mr.. Jackson,
one of the Representatives Of Howard in the Legis-
lature. And such voeys of abuse as they did ut
ter against the dear people, yes the dear people
whom they love so dearly, that they actually scaled
off half the plasterng from the walls of the Court
House. These gentlemen talked very freely about
Gen. Mum-said they believed "the string of his
intellect was pulled in" Intellect worthy trio,
the three orators to speak in such manner of tho
intellect any man! If Gen. Mum, as they are
pleased to call him. were cut into pieces he would
make at least forty such men as Lowry and Jackson.
We very much doubt whether any naturalist has
yet discovered three individuals of the human spe-
cies that combined in themselves as many of the
characteristics of the Jackass as the specimens be-
fore US. Brainless boobies!-and yet these men
have the impudence to get up and discourse to in
teiligent men upon politics Their speeches if such
they may be called, were nothing but tissue Of
coarse inyectiye and bold, reckless false assertion
We can pick out three boys in Boonvile, not over
eighteen years of age, either of whom can make
better political speech than was made in Fayetts on
Monday last, by the three leaders of the party in
Howard County. During the last summers ca m.
paign, we frequently heard mentioned the names Of
Lowry and Jackson, as political leaders in Howard
county and supposed them to DO men of some con.
sideration but had never yet had opportunity o.
seeing them before the people. Good God. how
sad, how melancholy, how truly deplorabs must bs
the moral and intellectual condition Of the people
who suffer themselves to be gulled by such men,
We no longer wonder that Howard county is Loco
oc o. The thing is HOW satisfactorily explained.
