Democratic Meeting.

A spirited meeting of the sterling demo-
cracy of this county was held opposite Mrs.
LTTzINGER's Hotel, in this place, on Monday
evening last. Being Court-week 1t was of
course gathering from every quarter of fsthe
county. We were never more gratifed than
on this occasion. We are often tauntingly
told by federalists, that the democratic party
is losing its frc-its vitality-its unity, its
organization. This, an | similar demonstrations
threw out the entire state, prove those charges
to be as false as malicious 1t was cheer
ingly enthusiastic gathering. 1t proved in
evidence not to J6 mistaken that the pulsa-
tions of the unterrifed democracy Of litt;iia
Cambria, still beat in unison with the great
heart, of the national party of the union-and
that the pure spirit of democracy. burns in
them with the same vigor, and uademi nished
lustre, as in the days of Jcfcrson, of Jackson
and of Folk
We are glad to see so healthy feeling
manifestation country fellow-citizens, are
sound to the core. They have no feelings in
unison with the proscriptive or disorganizing
iSms of the day The prospects of glorious
victory over the numerous ''isms" that con-
stitutes the cohorts of federalism, grow brighter
every day. From every quarter of the state,
we have the cheering intelligence, that the
sterling democracy is preparing to fight the
battle of the second Tuesday of October next,
with unsurpassed energy and zeal
