Il CURIOUS DEVELOPMENT,

We noticed, a few days since, that violent
scene had been presented at democratic meet.
ing in Cincinnati. 1t now appears that it was
no ordinary riot, but resulting in making to the
public one Of the most curious of the politica
revelations with which it has recently been IA
vored
Messrs. Geo, Fries, j. W. Smith, N. A. Britt
r. X. Cox, John Howard, Timothy C. Day
Samuel Froome, Samuel W Corwin, VIM Miller
David White, Thomas Sherlock, eleven of the
most prominent democrats of The city of Cincin-
natl and the county of Hamilton (Ohio)-pub-
lish a card, in which they announce that they
have been made acquainted with the existence
| of a secret political organization in that
| county. They &c charge that this society has
continued in existence up to this time, unless
its members have all been frightened away
within the past week-that its meetings are in
secret, its members regularly initiated and
bound by an obligation to keep secret its acts
and existence; that, though the preamble to its
constitution very modestly claims that its OBJ

sole aim of getters-up and managers is, and has

by the secret assistance of two hundred mem
bers, representing the wards and townships
of the county, who are understood to be bound
to use all their endeavors to secure the sue

charges. The Louisville Journal says that the

democratic organ) not only admits the existence
of this society, but also, that he is, himself a
member of it, and that it has been in existence
for many years 1t is, also, alleged that it has
branches all over the State of Ohio.

against the existence of such secret societies
and their despotic rule over the rank and file of
the party, that Mr.. Reemelin was mobbed

up some OF their rotten flooring, there was dis

thought there was something queer in the man

s The murder is out now,'' and it certainly
must give very amusing and puzzling cast to
the physiognomies of the humbugged democracy
thereabouts. If this secret organization really
extends throughout the State, we should think
the democratic outsiders must have to feast on
a far-of vision of official loaves and fishes We
doubt very much if there are seats for them,
