Yesterday, the democracy held county meet
ing IN this city, being the day fixed by Col Weller,
the nominee for Governor, when he would adj
dress his friends in this county, in the order of his
appointments throughout the State The turnout
OF the people was respectable In numbers, though
evidently not unusually large. Even the States
man admits Its disappointment in this respect, in
saying, what no one had previously heard of, that
owing to Col. Weller having been suddenly called
back to Butler, by information from his family,
received by telegraph, while in Belmont Co., many,
the Statesman supposes, did not attend on yester-
day, from an apprehension that the Colonel would
not be here. This apology, however, take it,
rather depreclates the estimation the democracy
have of their whilome ''tall young Senator" Hon.
William Allen, tor his name, too, was con spicu
ously announced in the bills
And am inclined to believe that there Is. to
the mind of Mr.. ALLEN, at least, "more truth than
poetry IN the incident Mr.. Allen has not been
active :" his labors for the party, since his re-
election I, the Senate, in 1872 having allowed
the import ,'election of ~, and the election of
'46, as well sthe intermediate elections for State
Legislature, to pass by, without scarcely any aid
from him beyond the limits of his own county.
His second term, however, is drawing to a close,
and this, 1t is said, even among the democrats,
brings HIM out on the stump to tell the "dear
people" how much he loves them, and how dsin-
terestedy he Is willing to serve them another six
years There are other aborers In the party, that
are willing to serve In his place; and the leaders
here at the capitol are conserving that he should
be superseded; and hence, his proffered attendance
here on the same day with COL Weller, was not
hailed with any particular satisfaction, nor any
pains taken to draw crowd on his account.
From this may be inferred. that Mr.. Aliens re-
turn to the Senate will not alone depend upon the
election of democratic majority to the legsla-
ture, In October, but also, afterwards, upon his
success IN running the gauntlet of what is here
called the tin-pan''-namely, the democratic
caucus.
But of the meeting. Col. Weller was here. and
Senator Allen YVES here, and both addressed the
people. Col. Weller evidently relies much for
support on his :" services in the Mexican war;
consequently, he led off in defence of the war; and

and IN the field, against those who not only OPP

the people, taking the Baltimore platform, and the
platform OF the 9Th January State Convention, for
his guide and, alter defending General Cass
against some of the charges brought against him,
avowed his intention to vote for him.
Senator Allen, IN a speech of much ability, and
with his usual eloquence and stenonan emphasis,
