The. Democrats OF Posey thinking for
Themselves.

Themselves.
The "high faluting" call of our neighbor
. short time since for a Democratic Senator
ial Convention for a meeting around coun'
ell fires to smoke the calumet, &c, &c
will be well recollected by our readers
whether by his own or not. He had ABOUT
column of "twadde" devoted to stirring up
"the big chieftains" Of the Democratic par
tv. and 10 q review of tn 1t "hideous MONSTER"
Whiggery. Probably it was the richest col
umn of editorial matter that ever appeared
in an Evansville paper-a complete bur-
lesque on rallying articles, political calls and
Locofoco patriotic: leaders. But we have full
" reviewed il once and we havn't the stomach
to look at it very closely again. Well, this
article called Senatorial convention at
Blairsville, of the Democrats of Posey and
Vanderburgh, for the 22d, to nominate can
didate for Senator. Asa prominent Demo-
crat remarked to us at the time, the call was
entirely premature. 1t appears the Demo-
cracy of Posey think so too, and they have
spoken out on the subject, giving our neigh
Dor rebuke which will probably make him
a little more careful hereafter of assuming to
be anything else than the organ Of little
clique of his party in Evansville. "Some
thirty Democrats Of Posey county" as the
Enquirer says, have sent him the following
document:
WHEREAS, we have seen by publication,
that a call of the Democracy Of Posey and
Vanderburgh counties is made 10 meet at
Blairsville, Posey CO., on the 22d OF April
1854, to nominate q candidate for the State
Senate; t.H
| And ,chereas, we the undersigned Demo-
cracy Of Posey, have not been consulted in
the matter, and are opposed to the call at
that time, we hereby repudiate it as ill-timed
and recommend that the Senatorial Conven-
ton be held after the Congressional.
Thus do the Democrats of Posey repudiate
the splendid call made by the Enquirer.-
How they could have the heart to repudiote
such beautiful piece of composition, we
cannot understand. And how they could
have the boldness to object to any arronge-
ment the little Democratic clique in Evans
vile might choose in its wisdom to make In
their names, we cannot comprehend. This
clique has been accustomed to debating
for the Democracy of the whole district-yet
here are the Democrats Of single adjoin
ing county, actually rebelling in their faces.
We are astonished that the Democrats Of
Posey should dare venture to think for them
selves. We had thought they. as well as the
Democrats of all the other counties in the
district, were SO accustomed to having all
their thinking done for them at Evansville,
and to being told what they might do and
what they should not do, that they had for
ever surrendered themselves to the Evans
vile clique.
But it is our impression they will have to
"knuckle under" yet, either in convention or
out oft. We shall see. In the mean time,
we congratulate our neighbor on his success
in the first call he has had the pleasure OF
making for Democratic Senatorial COnven-
ton in this city. 1t is about equal to the
success which followed his famous call for
an Erie Indignation meeting!
