Loco Gathering on Saturday.
We had rich treat in attending the
Loco Foco meeting on Saturday last.
We have told some Of our loco foco
friends, who were anxious 10 know
about the matter, that we hardly knew
whether TO describe it in a serious or a
comic vein. We are in the same fix
sllll /, was serious business to
part OF the meeting, while to The other
|, was quite comical, and as i, was a.
together so TO Us, and we had rather
make folks laugh than cry, we think
on The whole, we shall show i, up as it
actually appeared to US.
We must premise, however. that the
meeting was called for the purpose of
appointing Delegates TO the Territorial
Convention, which met at Iowa CITY
on Wednesday last to nominate a can.
dida'e for Delegate TO Congress. And
we must further premise tina. there
were parties al the meeting-Dodge
men and anti Dodge men.
The Dodge.men got the start and
elected their Chairman. jonathan Eads.
who declared during The meeting that
he was born a Democrat, and from his
actions, one might suppose tina. when
he died, he thought Democracy would
die and be buried with him. The sec.
retares, two in number, were as the
Jockeys say, so so-one for Dodge, the
other anll-Dodge. After the meeting
was organized a motion was made 10
appoint Committee 10 draft resolu.
TONS expressive Of the sense of the
meeting, composed of one from each
township. Considerable confusion took
place during the appointment, and some
amusement was afforded by deaf old
democrat when they called for the rep
resentaiive from Yellow Spring. He
thought no good di,nmocra, could come
from that vicinity. The Committee,
were at last, after much difficulty APP
pointed, but before retiring tina, genu.
inc and disinlerested democrat, old man
SalIiday, from Benton township was
vociferuusly called for by the chairman.
lie obeyed The summons, and we could
see from where we sat, both heads close
together and both hands of each en-
ployed in transferring certain papers
from the chairman's hat 10 the ha, of
his friend Sallday, behind The stand.
AS we had previously seen the chair
man in close confab with an anxious
Dodge man in the new market house.
We understood it all, and concluded that
while the Dodge men had every thing
"cnt and dried" the an,i.Dodge men
had nothing prepared and would suffer
Tor their lack Of management.
The next movement was a motion 10
appoint committee to report list Of
Delegates. Here the fun commenced.
There was much confusion about this
time. The chairman undertook 10
throw light on The subject by telling
what he though, was the democratic
way, but he mentioned so MANY waya
that even the lawyers found il hard 10
comprehend him. A distinguished
LETTER man-Mr Mlls-was in favor
of The motion and ,hough, il not only
proper and democratic, but from the &C.
ton OF former meetings Of the kind thew
had no other precedent TO go by. The
Dodge men here began to grow rabid
and insisted upon a nomination by the
meeting at large. The question was
discussed IN most animated and inhar-
monio"s manner by Messrs Mills, Car.
pen'er and Evans for Committee, and
BY Messrs Hem, Clarke, Woods. Rob.
inson and Gearhart agains, il, lanes
