Great Dem ocratic Primary Meeting.

Great Dem ocratic Primary Meeting
On Saturday last was the occasion of
the great outpouring of the Democratic
masses Of this township, for the purpose
of electing delegates to the county con-
vention of tomorrow. Last year, the oc-
cas;on was greeted by the assemblage of
five hundred men strong in the faith. -
This year-well, we wont get ahead of the
story.
The meeting was advertised by posters
ard through the Phalan1 organ, far and
vide, to come off at P NJ At the ap-
pointed hour we pressed our hat firmly Oh
our head in anticipation of the JAIN, and
proceeded to the the scene Of action, cdri-
ous to see Sampson put out his strergth
as aforetime. Arrived, we could sec no
one in sight save one individual down at
the bridge, who seemed to he peering out
TO advance as soon as company promised
to keep him in counteaance. We waited
till 10 minutes past 4, when two ul-
f;nching Democrats came along, and peep
ed into the court house, and finally ven
trrcd in. They looked little solitary
but as they will feel more so after the
election, it was better to get used to the
feeling. The next persons that hove in
sight were, l John CLinaman, and ne
gro, with a pal of-hogs victaals; As
neither of them stopped, we were forced
to believe they we're not Phalanx men.

One good Democrat thinks he wont wait.
No more of the faithful being likely to
appear, and the assemblage in the pit
having amounted to the heavy number of
twenty three, (three of them K. N.'s) out
of a population of 1900, S. II. Chase,
Esq, was called to the chair
He harrangued the meeting on the fine
way it felt under the circumstances, and
congratulated them that they did not be-
l;eve in prescription, forgetting the whole
tenor of even the pure Democratic party
was towards prescription in its most violent
sense--that the most henious crime in its
eyes vas that freedom of opinion and ac-
ton that led men to vote for any body
but its nominees (see Dem. con. at Benz
ca, 1882 He also thought it notewor-
thy that his party prescribed no man for
the section from which he came-but did
aot mention how be himself was treated
at the grand Gwin meeting in 1858, when
some of the very men now before him
sncered at him, and broke up the meeting
when he was called out to speak, so that
in three minutes crowd Of 500 dwindled
to 25, and he was forced to desist, all be-
cause he was New Englander, though no
more of an abolitionist than either of his
auditors. He did not tell Of the "Miners'
Liberal Ticket" urged in opposition to
tie regular Democratic nominees the past
election, at which all northern Democrats
we're excluded and Wings put on instead
