| Mr.. EDrToR.-A correspondent of the Mountain
Democrat, writing from this place. attempts delu.
sve description of political meeting held here on
the evening of the LIST inst He starts off by SAVING.
( We had a rare treat" that Messrs. Denvar
McDaniels and Bradford addressed the truebearted
Democracy of this place." and that at least five
hundred democrats were present" This, perbans.
may sound well abroad and no doubt tickle the
custom house faction amazingly but it is to be
hoped that none will be 30 far overcome from men,
tai excitement as to receive material injury, ret
should there be doubt as to this, | would suggest
the propriety of recommending to all such, a dose
of that same reviving spirit that was taken by
one of the Wustrlous speakers before mounting the
stand. What admirable effect this spirit pro-
duced-his entire corporeal became at once inflated
yea, even from the toes to the end of the nose--
Then you may know we had rare treat"
1t is not my object, Mr.. Editor to explain to you
the particulars of this meeting nor the character
of addresses delivered on the occasion, enough is
already known in the county, of the distinguished
speakers to determine precisely what their thunder
put forth amounted to but, Sir, must say never
have attended political meeting yet where there
was little interest manifested and as small num-
ber of ympaiiserS friends of the speakers in pro-
portion to the number present, (say about 1885, not
more. as there were on this occasion. Then for
man to get off lot of balderdash such as the De-
mocratS correspondent-who styles himself "Ant-
Bogusite-has done; it is to say the least supreme.
ly ridiculous to those who are acquainted with the
fnotc D,,k, do l. n
to come to the truth of the matter in few words,
the whole proceedings-not excepting the speeches
delivered-wcre disgusting from beginning to end,
justly calculated to widen the breach already exist
ing and to throw more dscord instead of harmony
in the democratic ranks.
"Anti closes his interesting epistlc by request
ing the Custom House Editor to tell the democra-
cy of Ell Dorado that there are not six Brodericktes
Qo! behold hm) i'll this precinct, the residence of
honest John Conness'" Anti surely must be
new importation, Che may be an emssary of the
Know Nothings,) not at all conversant with the
views of majority of our citizens or else his ideas
are conceived in the spirit put forth under the
same influences and are in perfect concordance with
the vituperative harranguings which have charac-
terzed the articles appearing in that Boter sheet
at Placervil!e the editor Of which seems to be be-
meath the passing notice of the respectable portion
of the Press in this State
If "Anti" attempts slur at John Conness, by
prefxing the word honest" have only this to
say knO,c John Conness, and know him to be an
honest and an honorable man in every particular,
so do all who have the pleasure of his intimate &C.
quaintancc. But If we are to judge "Anti', y ho-
nesy by the character of his communication, hs
certainly is past redemption ; say, let all such
walk up to Brads and we'll teach you the Law"
