ENTHUSIASTIC DEMOCRATIC MEETING Al
TIPToN.-The gallant Democracy of Tiptor
County held most glorious and enthusiastic
mass meeting at Upton, on Tuesday last
, The crowd was a very large one, and the
assemblage, altogether, one of those old fash
ioned, enthusiastic, liberty-loyiug, and Union
preserving demonstrations which the Demo
cracy were wont to hold in other DAYS The
stars and stripes hoated from many flag stats,
the enlivening notes of music were heard on
all sides, and the enthusiasm displayed indi-
Gated the determination which inspires the
hearts of the genuine Democracy of Old Tip
ton to arm for the approaching contest and
discharge the duties which they owe to them
selves and their country.
On Monday evening large number of
persons assembled at the Court House ami

ing one Of his happiest efforts, and was re-
ceived by the crowd assembled with rapturous
applause.
The Convention on Tuesday, was addressed
by Hon. A. P WILLARD, whose eloquence
and sound logic told upon the hearts and
minds Of the masses assembled with the
happiest effect. He convinced them, beyond /
controversy, of the Union dissolving tenien-
cies of the present opposition to the Demo-
cratic party-how that opposition were ready |
to barter away every principle of Republi-
canism dear to the true American heart for the
sake of Office and spoils-how Know Nothing
Sam had been swallowed up, soul ard body, by /
his Abolition brother and co-adjutor, Know |
Something SanpJo," and that "Fasion for the
sake of o6fce" was DOW the only plank left in
the Platform of Hindooism in Indiana. The |
speech was received throughout by the hun
dreds who heard it, with marked attention,
and the speaker was frequently interrupted /
by the most vociferous cheers. Gov. w. is |
doing yeoman service in the good old Demo-
cratic cause-enlearing himself to the hearts |
of his political friends, and winning the es-
TEEN of his more intelligent aud liberal polit-
ical enemies wherever he goes He will, we
are glad to learn, canvass a large portion of
the State between this and the first of October.
Hon. O. B. ToRBErT, Of this city, succeed
ed Gov. WILLARD, and his speech was one
which done honor to himself, and was receiv-
ed by the large assembly with the greatest
enthusiasm. 1t was a mastery and eloquent
vindication of the Democratic party from the
foul aspersions of It's Dark Lantern and Abo-
lition enemies. Mr.. t. was prepared with /
all the necessary proofs to show that the di-
rect tendency Of the present conglomerate of
isnss arrayed against the Democracy, was to
endanger, if not to dissolve our glorious Uni
on, and througout his whole speech he ad-
duced the strongest arguments to show why
such party should not be tolerated by the
American people. Mr.. L. was listened to
with great interest and his speech was re-
eeived into good and honest heats.
The banners displayed at this meeting
were the glorious red, white and blue" with
the stars emblazoned upon them. No sedi-
tous sentiment could be read upon their broad |
and ample folds; but America, as she has
been sincethe days of WAsHTNGroS and JET
FERsoN, MADISON and JAcKsoN-America
National, not America sectional; Democracy;
the Law of Nature pervading the Law of the
Land"-these were sentiments which might
be read upon the banners. and these were the
sentiments uttered by the speakers How
muci in contrast are they with the seditious-
the reasonable devices displayed in our city
at the 18th of July Convention of Fusion
