man9uvrngs for the fall election. On Monday the de-
mocrats assembled in meeting and Fixed upon the
time of elecng their delegates to the County Convention

inmate candidates for county officers and members Of
the Legislature. The impression having been created
throughout the county that the meeting to
way connected with movement for grand reception of

city and Philadelphia. Everywhere the matter caused
interest," and has been the Of drawing hither
quite respectable representation from the country

But the meeting Of Monday had nothing TO do with
Ex-Governor Reeder his reception; it was simply
democratic meeting for county purposes only Hon. Rich

manner, and listened to with marked attention. He
went through the usual routine ofdemocrac arguments
touching lightly upon Kansas slavery, and the admins
tion Of course Mr. b. studiousy reraned from all al
fusion to Ex-Governor Recder and his troubles in his
speech and used his influence to the utmost t. smother
the endorsement Of that gentleman in the resolutions.
When the Court House found too small for the
fort of the meeting, and motion made to adjourn
to the open air Mr. BrOdhead the Reeder eaven at
work sought to neutraze by striving 10 have the
meeting continue in session in the house But in vain he
tried The people were determined to have Reeder in
some shape other, and rushing pell nell from the
Court House to the square passed string OF resolutions
