leading spirits in the disorganizing move
ment were there, but they felt the utter
failure of their attempts 10 mislead the
democracy fthis county, and the indig-
nation speech Of an ex-office. holder, was
true expression of the desperation of
their cause. We have not been correctly
informed in regard to the business tran
sacted by the meeting, Lut predict, how
ever, that nothing was done toward re.
organization Of the democratic party Of
this county. 1t would be presumptuous
and the height of folly in these fen indi.
'lduals' to attempt to palm off or establish
any rules or regulations for the govern
ment OF tue party. Their endeavors TO
keep up division have happily failed, and
though they may hereafter try to carry
out their designs, the people are too well
acquainted with their motives to permit
themselves to be governed by them.
We trust that the strife and difficul,;ss
IN our party in this county, is now at an
end, and that the democracy will hereaf.
after be found fighting in solid phalanx
against their old enemies-the whigs.-
We now look forward to the future pros.
poets of the democratic party in the county

In the county.
We would have entered more in detail
in regard to the doings OF this meeting,

munication containing an explicit and
correct statement oflhe proceeding, which
