Euthusiaslic Gathering Of tho Democracy

Tn Friday evening. agreeaOiy 10 no.
tice, there was another enthusiastic meet.
ing Of the true democracy at the Court
House in this place, for the purpose of
listening to the speeches of Mr.. Waid.
burger, Col. lansing, state elector, and
A. Plait. Esq, our States attorney elect.
The meeting was organized by choosing
Frederick Mattern, president. George
Erhardt, vice-pre sident, and L. Farley
secretary.
Mr.. Waldbnrger addressed the meeting
in the German Language. Unfortunate.
" for US we could not understand this
speech, bu, judging from the energy and
and eloquence of the speaker and the en-
thusiasm exhibited by the democratic
Germans present, we were assured that
he presented whigery and barnburnerism
in their true light. Mr.: w. is doing good
service in the democratic cause. He is
the editor Of The German democratic paper
at Chicago. Many ofour German friends
are putting their shoulders to the Demo-
cratic wheel, the effects OF which will be
felt in November. a
Col. Lansing then took the stand and
delivered an argumentative speech. He
contTasted Gen. Cass' position with those
of lis opponents. and exhibited the deceit
and Inconsistency of the latter. No can.
did man could have listened to the re.
marks Col. L. without being convinced
that the only proper course for demo
crat to pursue is to supper. Cass and But
Ter.
After the conclusion Of Col. Lansing
speech. Col. Plat, was called upon, who
stated that as the evening was somewhat
advanced, it might be policy for him to
decline speaking, but he was induced to
proceed by the cries of "go on," from all
parts ofthe room. Col. P. is a forcible
speaker and sustained himself nobly. He
handled the tree sellers without gloves,
and was willing to put his assertions to
the test of documents to sustain them
He commented on the course of Mr.. Van
Buren, and the wings in just terms. For
the amusement Of the crowd he pictured
some Of The most glaring Inconsistencies
of the "free sellers" and wings. He de,
fined the true position Of the democatic
party, and concluded by urging democrats
to rally to the support of the old volun
teers-CAss and BUTLER. The contin.
ned applause with which his remarks
were greeted, showed that they gave full
satisfaction.
We were truly gratifsd at the entbu.
siasm manifested at this mee,ing--the
hearty response to Mr.. WaIdburger's call
for cheers for Cass and Butler at the
conclusions Of his remarks-and the deaf.
ening shouts for Cass. Butler and Delnoc
racy at the close Of the meeting, evinced
that the people are becoming aroused to
the importance Of the contest.
