The "harmonio1s" Democracy oil
Hamilton county, Ohio. had grand
rally At Carthage last Saturday week.
From the published proceedings we
Judge they had sweet time Of it,
Resolutions. bitterly denouncing the
Know No.hings, were introduced 5y
by George E. Pugh. one Of the big
guns. This caused something of a
sensation, as may be supposed. Rob-
inson. the editor Of the Enquirer. was
foremost among those who denoun-
ced the X. Ms.
The resolution frowning on the X.
Ms was adopted by vote of. lo8 to
s. Here il is: ssl
"R<solved. That the attempts made
BY sny secret political combination to
destroy the equality Of rights between
the citizens by birth and the citizens
by choice, secured by the fundamental
law Of the country, are based upon
narrow-minded sel6shness, and are
unworthy of American citizens"
Chas. Reemelin, Esq. the leader OF
the Germans in Hamilton county, and
one of the shrewdest Of them all, de-
sired 20 make a few remarks on the
resolutions offered by the committee.
SPEECH OF Mr.. REEMELrN.
During the early portion Of Reeme-
Inns remarks, profound and ominous
stiffness prevailed. So perfect was
the silence Of the crowd, that when
he drew breath the leaves Of the for
est were heared nuttering together.
Mr.. r. said that he had hoped very
much Of that convention, but was
sorely disappointed. as he must frank
" and freely confess. What had the
committee done? They had prepared
. hook to catch gudgeon>, but they
would learn TO their cost that the
people Of Hamilton county were to be
caught no more with gudgeon bait
They had endorsed the Baltimore plat.
form that they might create ploas-
ing sensation at Washington. The
poor, tax-burdened demagogue.ridden
citizens Of Hamilton county-had they
no mercy for them? A few Of the
old party men who had quit thinking,
and voted from habit, might remain
with them II this game is continued
this bait thrown OUTPUT the aifec'
tons Of young and fresh hearts would
leave them. lie had no objection "a
the Baltimore platform. but Il did moi
need endorsing. Why not turn atten.

the County Commissioner. and syoui
county officers generally" that the
people might learn confidence in then
professions of Democracy and hope
for reform under their dispensation'
This going back TO endorse old plat
forms. and neglect Of that which was
immediate and pressing, was knayist
