wus cs if he Objgcte to the resolutions Instruct ing our delegates is vote for Drew and Johnson, his a1swsf was, ''no; don't oppose them resolutions, because know the democrats in this county will go for Drew and Johnson; but don't think there is enough of us here 10 hold meeting" After jabbering while longer about it, he picked np his hat and walked out, saying. "you may have it just as you please" Here is the ,ehOle conduct of this Influential democrat; now let the public say what it is worth. Again; Equal Rights says, "nOt one fourth of the people of the county bnew that such a convention was to have been holden" was pre- sent on the first day of the circuit court in Smith vile, which was the 18th day of October last nine days previous to the 27th There citizens, de- mocratic citizens here tht day from every township in the county. Those citizens were not only noti- fled on that day that the democrats of the county would hold a meeting on the 27th, but they were also requested at the sme time to communicate the intelligence to the citizens of their respective town ships as soon as possible. This know was done, for did part of it myself. Now here is notice oi Nine days, put directly in the hands of citizens from every part of the county--and yet "Equal Right" has the assurance to tell Mir. Woodruff that not one fourth of inc people of tine county knew that such aconvention was to have been holden But he is whg, ignorant of the proceedings of the democrats and aught therefore to be excused in part, for making such random shots as these. If he were democrat l should certainly think hard of him. There he makes another awful blow at our meeting, by saying that our chairman is really an Oldham man and has so expressed bfmsef. I think this very doubtful, but us have never heard the chairman express his sentiments upon that subject, l sha not dare make any assertions in relation to thcm But suppose he is an Oldham man what of it7 Does that argue anything against our meet ingl Does that go to show that the sentiments of the democrats of the couhty were not represented in the proceedings of tho meeting? think not on the contrary 1t is evidence going to show that the sentiments othe county were most fully repre- scntedfor if the chairman, at the time this meet ing was held, being himself an Oldham man had not known that large majority of the democrats in the county were for Johnson, he certainly would have offered inc resolution insructing delegates to vote for 0ldbam. But we find, that he not only refused to raise objection to any of the proceed ings but that he actually declared that they were the sentiments of the county by signing his name to them. The chairman of our meeting is too honest too patriotic, too sound democrat to think for moment of rising up in opposition to what he knows
 to be the will of large majority of his fellow zens.
 Equal Rights in his feeble attack upon our meeting, must have been nearly out of ammunition when he made this last squib from the pop-gun of hs cricis And he is not satisfied with the many false and unfonnded statements in his letters, but in order that they may seriously effect the char acer of our meeting he endeavors to convey the i'm pression from of his concluding remarks, that he is a democrat. He says "conYentions should be he'd now by the democ :acy, the whole democracy" evidently intending thereby to deceive the public mind and make the people believe that even d demo crat has written thus, about the proceedings of a meeting held by his own party. Now it is bad enough far whig who attends our meetings, to go off and misrepresent openly and boldly to the world
 but for one to step in and take his seat for the express purpose of playing "a kctcher-up of incon- siderate triles'' and then make his publications un- der the gerb of democrat; "I would rather be q toad and live upon the rotten vapors of dungeon" than such whig. MONITOR.
 F. s. If any person shonld doubt that Equal Rights is a whig, let him call upon the "Demo- crat." We would like to hear Mir Woodruff s opinion the subject MONITOR.
