The dark-lantern conspirators calculated with the greatest confidence upon carrying that populous county. They supposed that they had fixed up a plan which could not fail of success. but the true democracy having detected their scheme, secret as 1t IS kept and plausible as it may have oeeu made to appear, are now prepared to foil and defeat it, and they will defeat it.
