The County MErrrSos-TuE STAR

NON'N
county on the slavery question. AS
we before stated, we were denied the
pleasure Of being an eyewitness of
ali the proceedings, but we saw
enough to convince us that our neigh
Dor had given a wrong complexion to
them, not owing to any desire to mis-
represent them, but because, being
opposed to the Southern Convention,
he looked through glass darkly. We
have too much respect for the Editor
OF the Star, TO think for ono moment
that his errors of statement, are any
thing more than 'fancies."
The grand ''fancy of the Star, to
which all others are mere satellites,
consists in his attempt to fix upon
the democrats the odium and respon.
sibility of giving party character
to the meetings. Here tho Editor is
at fault. Not the most distant allu
sion was made TO party by any demo
crGt, until Mr.. A. J. Buford (whig)
charged most violently, that the
whole object Of the meeting, so far as
the democrats were concerned, was
to attack the present Federal Admin
istration; and even after this, Col.
Cushman directed his remarks to deny
and repel the charge. The truth is,
tho democrats up to this time, through
out the whole State, in all public meet
ings on this momentOus question, have
constantly desired and honestly sought
the cooperation of the Wings, but
to little purpose, as is very evident
from the un- -Southern tone Of the Wing
press. So in the two public meetings
in this county, harmony among all
men OF all parties, was desired by
the democrats; but the wings were
unwilling TO meet us on the common
platform Of Southern Rights, and il
the National Convention should prove
failure, and the South be sacrificed,
upon them will fall the awful respon-
sibility. To render the southern
movement now going on, as odious
as possible, while the professions Of
no partyiSm, are hardly cold upon
their lips, they are using every party
appliance, and calling into requisi-
tion every party consideration.
There may be, we confess, a few
exceptions TO this remark, but theyi
are almost like the visits Of angels in
these latter times. For the first time
in the history of the government, The
southern States are fully aroused to
The dangers hanging over them, and a
general movement is being made, to
assert rights which none but northern
fanatics and southern fools, deny; and
yet, we find counter organizations
in the very midst and heart Of the
South What can such men promise
