CLUR MEETING.

What do the Democrats of Crane township
say to forming club, to assemble at such
time and place as may be hereafter named, for
the purpose of organizing and strengthening
the party. In many parts of the State the
party have formed clubs and held number
of meetings, and let it not be said we are
behind in this matter Let our organization
be good, our union perfect, and our strength
must be felt. Now is the time to commence
the work to reap glorious harvest, and now
let US go about it. The cause in which we
are engaged, the equality of all men merits
all our efforts.
The organization Of clubs should not only
be attended to in Crane, but in each township
in the county. The work to be done is fully
abundant for all, and when we all do our duty
the share of each is light Had not the mass,
the oppressed portion Of France united and la
bored together, King would yet rule them;
The yoke of bondage would yet bow their
noses to the dust, and France yet be land
of monarchs. But by union of action the
people are now free and France is Repub-
lie. In this you can see what united ef-
fort will accomplish, and therefore, let US or.
ganize.

COL. WELLER AS He is.

We see published in some papers, an ar
ticle in relation to the patriotism, bravery and
determination of Col. John B. Weller, whc
entered the army, went to Mexico and endur-
ed the fatigues and severe trials of war, in
defence of the rights of our country and the
pricipes of freedom, and TO revenge the
wrongs of our people. With the official tes-
timony of the principal officers of the army
and that Of the brave sons of the Ohio Regi.
ment,S of which he was commander, in his
behalf, is it necessary to renew the facts in the
case! Is not every man conversant with the
daring of that noble commander at the battle
Of Monterey? Col Weller in that hot con
flct, lead his men into the very heat Of the
danger that surrounded them. The people
of Ohio too well know how to appreciate the
acts of the brave to believe the falsehoods of
tory papers and speeches; TO believe that Col.
w. ever shrunk from any post where duty
called, or the honor Of his needed him. His
reputation for bravery and ferlessness is too
well established to make it necessary for US
to republish any article to establish that that
is already known. The votes of those who
fought by the side of Col. Weller will tell
that his men have full confidence in his bra
very, and that Wing lies can do him no in
Jury.

Samuel Treat, Of Missouri, appointed Sccre'

After prayer by the Rev. Theophius Fisk
Mr.. Wheeler of NC. offered a resolution for
the appointment of committee to investigate
the credentials Of the Delegates to the Con-
vention.
Mr.. Cole, offered substitute to the resoln
zion, proposing the appointment OF commit.
tee of one delegate from each State, except
New York, who had a double delegation in
attendance, for that purpose. From n. York
the members of the two delegations were to
select the member Of the committee 10 repre-

Mr.. Hannegau moved to lay the resolution
On tho table, but subsequently withdrew it.
ana proposed an amendment that each dele
gate should pledge himself to support the
nomination of the Convention.
Mr. Cole objected to the amendment as
unnecessary. He thought the first matter to
he settled was, who was to vote on the prelm

Mr.. Hannegan withdrew the substitute.
