EEELS SOREI

The last ClearfeA Republican came to US
filed with wailings as plaintive and mournful
as the ssbook of lamentations.'' And what do
you suppose is the cause of this display of
heart-rending grief? We will tell. In these
latter days. those opposed to the election Of
certain James Buchanan, more familiarly
known as s'ten-cent jimmy" called and held
Convention on Tuesday evening of Court
week, which was son the same nfght'' that the
Democrats held their meeting. Now this the
editor Of the Republican thinks is dreadful
matter, daring piece of effrontery, ga thing
unprecedented in the history of political par
ties in this country Ge-whillikins! isn't it
awful that the people should assemble in their
capacity as freemen without consulting the
astute editor of the Republican and asking his
permission to do so ? Who can ssphancy the
pheelinks'' of the poor fellow in regard to
such frightful state of disobcdience and will
fulness on the part of the yeomanry The
Union must be in dangerii!I
But, to speak seriously, this is the first time
we have ever heard any one, even the most
rampant fanatic, arrogate that the Democracy
had the erclusfve right to any evening at any
period of time. What specimen of tolerant
humanity ssour neighbor'' is! But, when we
consider that the editor Of the Republican is a
stickler for 'spopular sovereignty as it is
enunciated by the ssBorder Ruffians,'' we need
not be astonished that he would, if he could,
deprive portion of our citizens from meeting
together to discuss the important questions
that are to be decided this fall, for he is well
aware it both sides are heard, that his party
viii be the loser by fair presentation of facts.
How DOES 1T CONE ?-Last week we were
told by several of our subscribers, who lift
their papers at different post offices, that they
had not received Journal for some three
or four weeks. How does this come? We
put our papers in the Office here regularly, and
1T seems strange that persons within the coun-
ty cannot get them in less than a months
time' We do not wish to cast reflections on
innocent persons, but there is something
wrong somewhere. That's so

uLLaEoRE TrEETIEG.

In pursuance Of previous notice given by
the Fillmore and Donelson club, meeting was
held in the Court House on last Wednesday
evening. 4 large number of persons attend
ed. After the meeting had been organized,
Col. j. Bell was introduced as free singer.
After he had finished singing song, " II.
Jolly, Esq, Of Altoona, took the stand and
made a speech, in which he gave his views of
the several Presidential candidates. VIM. S.
Keys was next introduced, and delivered a
lengthy speech, in which he showed the posi-
tion of the American party, and exposed the
wiles of the Roman Catholic church, and it's
attempts to gain political asceudancy in the
United States. He was listened to with mark
ed attention, and was frequently cheered. Il.
B. Swoope was then called upon, and in def
ming his position said he was in favor of and
would support the Union State ticket, the U
Mon District ticket, and the Union County
ticket, and also expressed himself fayorably
disposed to a Union electoral ticket, founded
upon fair and just basis, and by which he
could labor for his candidate. After he had
concluded, the meeting adjourned.
ANY person who was present at the various
meetings held last week by those opposed to
Buchanan, could not fail to observe that the
general sentiment Of the masses is in favor of
union-that the people were determined to
move in concert in order to defeat the candi-
dates Of the Cincinnati convention.

The Nebraska Kansas bill is tho touch.stone
and test of parties in Congress. 1t was IN i'd
ministration measure. Some Thirty Wing and
Know Nothing members sustain il. And so far
they sustain the admin >tration. The Black Re.
IaIblican members. numbering about l07 votes,
condemn this Measure and have made il a test
question in the election OF Speaker. The admin.
istration party. consisting of 76 members. sup
port this xaeosure and the general policy of the
ADMINISTRATION Republican.
If the Nebraska-K Kansas bill j. a test, why may
not the House organize under that test. without
reference to the question whether the Know
Nothings have violently a-sailed civil and re-
ligious libertyl" The national Americans have
shown themselves willing to sustain that bill, by
their un6inching support of Fuller who is opposed
to it's repeal. Why should not thu Democratic
members avail themselves of this fact and bring
forward, as candidate. some gentleman whom
the American members can supp, TT without self
qualification! Why should they not npminate
