At spirited meeting of the Democrats of North
Danvers, on Tuesday evening August 80, Sylvanus
Dodge called to the Chair, and John Hayman,
Jr. was chosen Secretary. The following gentlemen
were chosen delegates to the State Convention, viz
Isaac Dempsey, Thomas Bowen, Sylvanus Dodge.
Tie subjoned resolutions were unanimously
adopted
holding Conventions for the nomination OF candidates
for Office being the only proper course to be pur-
sued by any party. We therefore recommend to our
democratic friends throughout the country to send
delegates to such Con, enons and to adhere strictly
to regular nominations, being the only sure way to
give effect to the popular will.
Resolved, That John Tyler deserves the praise OF
every true democrat for the bold and independent
stand he has taken in putting his Veto on the rasf
schemes OF a desperate Wing Congress- not with bac
chanaan songs and degrading man-worship, but II

To the Editor of the N. Y. Herald
SIR; My attention has been directed to a statement
contained your paper of Friday last, in relation
to the festival given to Lord Ashburton," in which
1t remarked Il at the postmaster of this city bad
the want of spirit to sit still and acquiesce in the
gross insult to the President of the American people,
and am induced to notice it in justice to myself, and
at the suggestion of friends who feel satisfied that the
course adopted by the occasion referred TO is
not generally known. rhe facts simply these
when it became evident that the toast to the Queen
OF Great Britain to be r,sponded to with cheers,
while that to the President of the United States had
been previously passed in silence | expressed a
strong Indignation to those who surrounded me and
did not unite in the cheering (but from no dsre-
spect to the toast itsel and stated that if were not
public officer should instantly quit the room. My
feelings on this occasion were expressed warmly and
unreservedly, and were those that every American,
who respects the institutions of his country, should
display when an inngnity is offered to the nation
through its Chief Magistrate.
A due regari to the occasion, and my official re-
lations to the government, prompted my department,
and subsequent reflection has convinced me that the
dedided and emphatic manner in which condemned
the transaction under the peculiar circumstances
of my position reference to the Executive and from
having been placed in official communication with
the distinguished guest intended to be honored by the
banquet, the most proper and becoming.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN LORIMER GRAHAM.

RECEPTION OF THE WING MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS.
We had scarcely thought that the wretched farce
attempted at Philadelphia and New York, would be
repeated here But at midday yesterday placard
was discovered sticking upon the lamp-posts and in
public places, announcing, '.by order Of the Wing
General Committee that the wing electors of Albany,
Greenbush, Watervllet and Troy would assemble at
the steamboat landing, at 5 O'Clock this afternoon,
for the purpose of haiing the return of the wing
members of Congress, among whom would be the
Hon. John T. Morehead of KY the Hon. Messrs.
Caruthers and Brown of Tennessee, the Hon. Mr..
Thompson Of Indiana, and the Hon. Mr.. Allen of
Maine. These distinguished strangers will be accom-
panied by the following New York members of Con-
gres5 Hon. n. p. Talmadge, Willard Fillmore ID.
d. Barnard f. Granger, Timothy Child, John May
nard and T. A. Tomnson. The approach of the
boat will be announced by discharge of cannon. A
procession will be formed to escort the guests to Con-
gress Hail."
The Evening Journal contained similar annunca-
ton.
Accordingly, the discharge of single gun announc-
ed the arrival OF the boat at In the afternoons a
band of Music attendance and it Is said the
"iittle bank frgatc" revived for the occasion,
with it, mottos and inscriptions (coon-skins and
hard-cider being discarded) but the Swing citizens

they Certainly not at the steamboat landing
nor was there any evidence Of the little bank frigae
coon-skin or hard-cider excitement, or any assem-
bage beyond the number of oilers at an ordinary
steamboat arriva--the band returned in silence and
alone, and the procession escort was est.
The whole contrrvance a failure. And Why
should il be otherwise How is it possible that so
bald and palpabe humbug, that of receiving
members of Congress with unusual flourish and pa
rade because they had ted nine months in efforts
to embarrass and "headn the President, and had
accomplished on their own defeat should be other
wise than failure'
The farce was pursued at the capitol in the even
