 FnrToR TRUE DEMOCRAT Mai. Bevens the nominee of the democratic party for judge of the third judicial district, addressed large meeting of the democracy of this county here ,o.day. The democracy of the circuit have creat reason to be proud that their cause has f,r it's champion one so able and at the same time so entirely willing to maintain and expound ;ts prjnciples All intelligent democrats know f,Il well, that so soon as their principles are we'll understood, that soon will they be ap- proved by the great body of the people, and that on the other hand Sam'
 To be hated needs but to be seen."
 Each of these desirable objects is accom- nlished by hearing the Major. In most mas terlv manner does he show that from the foun- dation of our government until the present time. the democratic party has at all times been found battling for the good of our coun- trv against her enemies, whether they came in inc shape of foreign invaders or democratic brotherS
 Little Samuel" the young gentleman of two years growth, whose shadow we have been told, by his foster brothers, would overspread the republic in a year or two the Major holds np between his thumb and finger, and in this position exhibits to the audience the unmista- kabe evidence of his African affnities and mocHvities. These are so palpable, that doubt much if there is a Know Nothing who ba hot 4l, charge that Sam is, where it will pay, an out and out abolitionist.
 When I began 1 only intended to say to you that the democracy of Randolph county will most certainly give to Maj. Bevens over his Know Nothing opponent, larger majority than they have heretofore ever given to any democrat over either whig or disorganizer. You may be told from certain quarters that such is not the case. Don't believe a word of it. What l write you is as certain as that the one Is the candidate of the democratic and the other of the owl party"
 This is not only so, but it should be so.- For if the democracy of this district allow the Know Nothings to elect their judge, they will thereby be giving aid to the Know Moth ings and black republicans in defeating the de- mocracy of the nation.
 It should be so for another reason, which however, is of importance only to the people of the circuit, viz That Maj. Bevens is beyond comparison the superior of his opponent in all the qualities which constitute the urbane and polite gentleman; and as 1 learn from those who ought and pretend to know in all those qualities which constitute the judge and jurist. would not have you suppose from this that the Know Nothings of the circuit are idle; on the contrary, they would if they could, move heaven and earth to secure the election of Judge Neely over Bevens and Mr. Lewis over Col w. K. Patterson.
 Ii they do either of these things it must be done by democratic votes, for the district is | largely democratic Would the Know Noth- | ings elect democrat to either office, if in the majority? Let the election of the infamous Banks answer. No, sir, they would not. l now predict, and the election will verify my prediction, that not one Know Nothing in this | district will vote either for Bevens or Patter- son. Governor Conway's opponent has not let our people see him as yet, nor need he in that ca pacity, for neither he nor any one else could prevent the Governor getting every democra- tic vote in the county.
