cry man, woman, and child has right 10
do upon all matters connected with the
policy Of the government ms to the re-
moval Of Dr.. 1Langworthy from office,
and the appointments Of McHenry in his
stead. 4 This was the object Of the meet
ing-that democratic meeting, d, which
were present many Of our oldest and best
Democrats assembled then and there 10
speak their sentiments openly and above
board, without fear or favor, or dread Of
being criticised MISREPRESENTATION
Gratis who have been firm TO principle,
constant in every struggle, and still rea-
|dy TO battle for democratic truths and the
peoples rights. And yet we are told that
the meeting was an insignificant one :!
Hearken, ye men'that we're there. insig.
nifcant! Who is il. that speaks thus?
One calling himself Democrat; one who
pirates about harmony and good feeling,
)"tamily quarrel,"&c. Judge yourselves
Of this Democ ratio member, and then tell
us, from whence has sprung this new de-
mocratic light! But the objection is still
before US, as TO whether that meeting
will strengthen the party. We have be-
fore said, that that was not its object, and
have stated what was the real object Of
it; and we may now further remark,
that whatever other tendency it may
have, it has elected one fact worthy Of
, remembrance, namely, the fact Of show
ing the Inconsistency Of certain indiyidu-
ais, when ihwar,ed in measures they
wished to have succeed, no matter how
opposed 10 the true principles Of Demo-
cracy. We have the example before US,
| OF a meeting being convened, organized
and officered by democrats, with one So
litary exception addressed by democrats,
seconded by democrats, the resolutions
J! presented to it adopted by democrats; but
! because something was said or done tina,
did not exactly suit the whims or caprice
! Of some individual calling himselfa dem.
ocrat, have his formal protest against the
meeting in the public papers, and all the
flourish and flou,ing Of a most cruelty
used and injured man. Poor fellow, wha,
a weight of woes has he been compelled
to labor under! "'
The third position Of Inter Nos is, that
Hon. R. N. Young wrote 10 Mr.. LETTER,
our representative in Congress, stating
tina. Dr.. Langworlhy would be removed,
and requesting him (Mt. Lef1er,) to name
suitable person to fill his place. Much
pains are used to make it appear, tina: be-
cause Hon. R. NJ. Young once had intima
ted that Dr.. Langworlhy would be reno
we'd, that this intimalon amounted to a
fred and decided determination to remove
him, come what would. Admit, for the
sake of argument, that the Hon. gentle
man did intimate as above cited. Does it
become changed? that circumstances may
not have so occurred, US to cause an en-
tire change in the views of the Hon. gen
tleman? So far as our expe ricnce knows,
we are daily accustomed to see determi-
nations and limitations made and broken
and never look upon any thing as certain,
until it is actually and fully accomplish
cd; so that, if the Hon. R. NJ Young did
once intimate an intention to dismiss the
DR., and afterwards, for good reasons,
saw fit to revoke his intima;ion, and con-
,inue Langworshy ia Office, he only act
ed, in our opinion, as a wise and sensible
man ought to act, especially in An affair,
so deeply interesting ,cthe public at large.
We suppose it not only possible that the
Hon. Commissioner would have continu-
ed Langworthy in Office, had he been in
Washington at the time Of McHenry's
appointment, but also not improbable but
that he will again re-insta,e him in Office,
if such should turn out to be the wish Of
majority Of INC people, and the details
Of this entire transaction shall have been
laid before the President and Senate.
The remainder Of our write RS produce
ton is sort Of perspective glance at the
sublime and ridiculous; kind Of mixture
Of poetry and painting, 5attle-fe:ds, and
dead mems bones; with now and then a
blast Of trump, to give life and motion to
the scene. Wonder il that is. the same
trump that sounded forth its peals amid
the hills and della Of Bloomington, and
whose sounds were swept along upon the
breeze, until they penetrated every nook
and corner of our remo,est settlements?
We are surprised 10 find Mr.. Roger.
selected as the future historian Of Doct
Langworthy, inasmuch as it will cause
Inter Nos to forego much anticipated
pleasure upon the issue Of his ed edition,
with addenda, to what has already ap.
peared in the Express. But Mr.. Rogers
is in no need Of an aPoloeist; we have
known him long enough TO warrant the
belief, that what, he said in reference 70
Dr.. Lanworthy, is just what he intended
to say, and would say it over again, did
The same or similar occasion require it
and that he is ever ready and willing tc
give an account Of the faith that is in him
as he hns ever heretofore done, whethe,
inpoli.ical or other matters.
