THE DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION

CLAY Club House Mr. T. T. Giles. in appro-
PIRATE terms, introduced lo the meeting Ale>srs.
Cobb and Lumpkin, members of Congress from
Georgia. Mr. Cobb addressed the attentive au-
dicncc for more than an hour: and in energetic
and iorcblc language, reviewed the whole policy
of tie mn'crn Ecdcralists. He held up 10 ridi-
cuIe The preScn, Wing party of Georgia, who in
1910 hoasted of their State Rights principles, and
mar had embraced all the Federal hcresies OF H.
Clay. His views OF the great political questions
OF the day, including annexation, were marked
with much originality and strength. His remarks
We're received with many hearty cheers. Mr.
Lunpkin then rose and explained, that the Demo-
cratic members OF Congress had soiemnly pledged
themselves io exert every effort, crcrg rhcrc 10
promote our cause. In consequence OF this re-
solve, he briefly addressed the Association
and, in an animated strain Of patriotism, pour
irayed the rising enthusiasm OF the people OF every
fined the charactcrand services of James X. Polk,
with whom he was we'll acquainted, and whom
the Wings pojcsS not 10 know. Both OF these gen
emen pledged the Vote of GcoIg ia 10 the Demo
cratic licket-and We feel that they can and will
do much 10 make good the pledge.
MIR. Robert q. Scott was then called upon. As
4 native Georgian. he returned his thanks ior the
able and instructive addresses Of his brother De
mocrals from that gallant Stale He declined
speaking as ne had, on that day, addressed, ior
three hours, an audience Of Two hundred at Flat
Rock, in Powhatan, and felt 100 much tatigued
by ride of twenty-five miles 10 make another
speech. He informed the meeting, that Mr., G.
w. Hopkins, of Abingdon, had made an efficient
speech and that he lett Mr.. William Old, jr,
engaging the attention Of tho Democrats OF
Powhalan He added, that the proper spirit was
aroused in Powhatan. and chat lie heard oil many
dcSerlions from the Wing ranks 10 the Demo
cracy. Mr. Scott deserves the thanks OF the De-
mocracv. for his able and interchangeable cXertions.
The thanks of the Association were returned Ia
MessrS Cobb and Lumpkin, and the meeting al
jouned in fine spirits.
On our return home, we heard the Glec Clay
Club in full blast at the Club House. The "fal-
Ter Kiver" seems 10 be- the great Wing tett-50oi.
We understand that Mr.. Stephens OF Georgia ad-
dressed the Wings and claimed Georgia for the
5000 He cannot he very sanguinc Of her votc.

We learn, too, with regret, that a venerable In
Senator of the United States continued his violent
personal remarks Commenced al the Bolts din

had DARED Ia express his opinion ot The Wing
Senate for rejecting the treaty: and that this same
Ex-senator INDUCED in a strain Of unmiiigated
violence upon the Democracy Of Richmond-as-
t.I.,,. In i'm Inc.
ranks of that party men who, III they dared,
would play Tire parts ol Rolesperle and Marat-
and would delight 10 STE the streets Of Richmond
How with blood We regret 10 allude 10 this
scene; bllt we do so, in order that the world may
know whcrc the blame should lie, il the political
canvass, which should and raN be conducted on
liberal and generous principles, degcncraes into
a violent personal contest between brethren OF the
same community-bciwcen neighbors, who may
honestly differ politically, and yet live together in
peace and friendship. We sincerely hope that
we NAV hear no more Of such undignillcd pro-
cecdinsS and that VIC shall all do our duty, as
men, as neighbors as patriots.
