DEMOCRATIC MEETING.-Th Democratic As
ISOLATION of this city bad another meeting Satur-
day night Speeches made by our Represen-
tatiye in Congress. Hon. Thos. S. Bocock the
President, our neighbour of the Republican, and
Maj. Garland.
The speakers made very little head way
gloom and espondency seemed to be upon them.
1t is true they talked about victory but the words
came mournfully from them, and fell with sicky
effect upon the audience. Visions of defeat
evidently haunting their minds, and all their ut
tempted enthusiasm would not beat away the
horrid spectre.
They all had something to say about the Win
chester ticket. and if sam" was there we know
he went away with heart brm-tull Of gratitude
to them. OF course if they bad haI any.
thing calculated to d-parage the ticket, it would
then and there have been proclaimed with
oxidation II thy had known anything Of the
ticket, that could have been used As a weapon
ngainst it it would have been produced
with grand effect; and sounded long aud loud
in the ears of the audience Bat instead IF

men. Though be felt called upon if po>>be.
to say something against them and afterrachng
his brain and taxing hi. memory he informed the
audience, that Mr., flournoy was guilty of being
tremendous whig; Mr.. Beale had voted to re
cciye kossuth onthe floor of the House, and
Mr.. Patton had been democrat The noun
tain was in lahor,and there is the. mouse to which
it gave birth.
Really .'Sam" Is a wonderful fellow, and has
done his work admirably, when this is all his
enemies have to say against his ticket and when
they are even constrained to praise it?
HurTRh Tor, "Sano W, said from the first
BOMB SHELL IL THE CAMPING learn that
democratic meeting was held at Burtons Greek
Church. in this county, last Saturday night, at
winch scene occurred not calculated to advance
materially the interests of Mr.. Wise. Among
the speakers called upon was Mr.. Cheatam
johnson, an oldand leading democrat, in his
COMMUNICATIVE responded by saying among 9th
er thing that he "coaid not seaport Mr. Mise"
The effect of this declaration upon the faithful
may be imagined it came like a shower bath in
December, "terrrying" them not Il little.
The speaker then introduced the subject of
sam" and said that he ''dd not know much
about these know Nothings but that they were
sprnging up all over the country like mush-
rooms in the woodo,'
We don't suppose the meeting was very cnthu-
sia,tic after this interesting little episode, or
that Wise stock malo any material advance in
that market
The above we derive from reliable authority.
DEMOCRACY Is TIE MUp.-Wr are inform
ed that our neighbor Of the Republican, being ex-
rrctcd to rally the RANKS of Democracy at Am
hrrst Court on yesterday, started over in II hug
gy, accompanied by young legal friend. About
three miles from town the buggy broke down
and landed them in the mud. After long CON
saltatiou, it wa, concluded to leave the buggy in
the corner of fence, mount the editor ON the
horse and let our juvenile friend walk back to
town. The arrangement was accordingly ear
,ied out; and we sincerely hope that ca ardent
cavalier reached his appointment in proper time
