Demonstration of the ss NaliOnals'' at
springfield.

For the last six weeks the National
boilers have been drumming to get up a
grand anti Douglas demonstration at Spring
field, the day for this great out pouring Of
the masses" being fixed for last Tuesday,
What, after such efforts, the meeting
amounted to may be gathered by the follow
ing, which we cut from yesterdays Chicago
Times. The authority will not be disputed
in this county, where Mr.. Goodell is SO we'll
known:
On the authority of r. E. Goodell, Esq,
Of Joliet, who, happening at Springfield
that day, looked in upon the "happy fami.
"" we state for the edfication of any who
might otherwise be deceived to believe a
different and false account, that while the
principal DANTE orator was being delivered
of his fustian and bile, there were, as ascer-
tanned by actual count. only ono hundred
and elsren persons IN the hall! OF these,
about one-half would applaud when Mr.. At
torney Fitch tendcrly denounced Lincoln
and when he "pitched into" Douglas, the
whole gang would stamp and yell in the re.
gular Black Republican fashion. That is al
, their demonstration amounted to.

The Chicago Herald, the organ of the
National Democrats in Chiraso, has Of
late written several leaders denouncing the
Nebraska bill and condcnniug Judge Doug

that measure in this way:

County Convention.

We give the proceedings to-day Of the
convention of the Democracy of this county,
held in this city on Saturday last. The con-
vention was largely attended and ha-moni-
Gus in it, action.
1t will be seen that SAMUEL W. RAYMOND
was nominated on the first ballot for sher-
riff. Mr.. r. is SO well known to all our
people, that we need spend no time in tel
ling who he is. 1t is sufficient to know that
his nomination has given the Republican
candidate the blues, while the democrats are
confident of victory.
DIR. McGoRRIsK, the nominee for coroner,
is young Physician Of this city, of ac-
kncwledged high professional attainments,
and Of large practice. particularly among
his own countrymen-for DR.. MEG. is amen
able to the charge, SO heinous in the eyes
| of the Republican Know Nothings, Of having
+! been born in Ireland. Ne one can question
his competency for the discharge of the du
ties Of the Office for which he is named, and
no one can raise personal objection agains,
him as a man. He is good citizen, and
an intelligent physician and will make a
| good run as candidate.
For Representative the convention re
commended Judge Dickey, but we see by I;
communication in the Chicago Times tina
he declines. The representative convention
meets at Morris on Tuesday, and we hav'
no doubt will be able to find good me,
enough willing to be candidates.
