Speaking at Busbee,s.

SPCohAHS at buSDC0>S
We learn that Democratic gathering took place at Bus
bees in this county, Wednesday last which address
ed by A. NJ. Lewis M. A. Bedsoe and J. T. Marriott,
Esqs Mr. Lewis read commented with deserved
Gritty the oaths and obligations of the dark lanterns
and especially that portion which makes the members the
tools of the leaders, not permitting them to exercise
the privilege of not voting at all without subecting them
selves to be reprimanded for the first offence and expelled
for the second and denounced perurers and traitors
This Dr. Busbee who is reported to be the president of
K. N. Lodge, pronounced false. Mr.. Lewis demanded
proof of its asity, and the Dr. put for book
returned without it and being inter rogated by Mr..
Lewis forced to admit that his agreed
Lewis declarations after which he disappeared and
seen more during the day. This had powerful and
sautary effect upon the crowd, seeing king bee
power upon the receptions pracced by leaders of the
organization in keeping their rank and file ignorance
and not letting them know its bad Every
Der of the Order astonshed find these things hav
ing before heard of them Notwithstanding their oahs
TO support the K. n. constitution We predict they will
leave the concern in droves.
Mr. Bledsoe read and commented upon a speech delivered
in the Philadelphia K N Convention by Mr. Ford Ohio
abotonst who brought Mr.. Rayner up the confess
sona and made him confess that he had said the repeal
of the Missouri compromis outrage to aUhch the
North ought not summit and that he if he had been in
Congress- would have suffered his right have been
cut off before he would have voted for the niquy We
learn that the Big Potaoe looked both small and
ltion ally.
Mr. Marriott entertained and amused the audience by his
anecdotes wit and humor and slapped Sam about the eyes
and until the aforesaid SANS head ached awfuy.
On the whole it great day for Democracy, the I'd
of August will prove.
