Democratic Nesting at Kevtesyille.

nominating candidate TO represent the
county OF Charlton in the next General
Assembly; Delegates from the Townships
Of Clark, Bee Branch and Charlton were
present. Other Townships were known
10 have held meetings and expressed their
preference, but their delegates were not in
attendance, in consequence of high water.
The delegates present. proceeded to cr-
ganize by calling R. Carman to the Chair.
and appointed C. F, Rigg, Secretarv.-
Nominations being in order William Her
ryford proposed the name Of Robertson
Moore, who was nominated by acclama-
ton.
On molten Of Mr.. Rigg, WIN. Herryford
and James Page were appointed a commit
tee to inform Mr.. Moore Of his nomination
and request him TO accept the same,
Resolved, That the President and SEQ.
rotary arrange the proceedings and request
the Editors OF the 'Brunswicker g. Gazette"
TO publish the same.
r. CARMAN, Pres't.
c. F. RIee, Sec'ry.
| The Brunswicker & Gazette does not
like the above proceedings. After aknowl-
edging the receipt of the proceedings, and
expressing some approximations that Mr..
Moore may have been mistaken as the rep
resentatiOn in the County Convention u
with considerable commendation Of his
democry, that page says:
The regular time for County Conven-
ton had passed. Henry shannon had by
the solicitation Of his friends and neiehbors
become Democratic candidate for the Cen
eral Assembiy-not a Rail Road candidate
as has been falsely stated by some of the
public prints. The country mass meeting
called, by convention of which Mr.. Her
ryiord was member, TO meet at Keytes-
vile on the l7lh day of May, was suffered
by the very friends of it to go by default, with
out any nominatOn;-Dr. West, who had
likewise announced himself Democratic
candidate at the solicitation of his friends
and neighbors, Withdrew from the canvass,
| leaving Judge Shannon alone on the field,
and the regular, usual time, for the County
nomination, passed. The only time when
oil the people Of the county will have occa-
sion 10 meet one another at the county seat
is suffered 10 go by without any demonstra-
ton, formally, Of disapprobation, of Judge
Shannon as candidate for representative;
the Democracy, the people dispersed 10 their
homes, majority Of them not 10 see Keytes-
Vile again Til the next term of the Circuit
Court; the third day of the term passed,
which is like the third day of all other
terms, attended only by suilors, witnesses
and lawyers; a gentleman distinguished
for his activity last December, in opposing
the Rail Road vote, as well as for the
greedy avidity with which he sought TO
be nominated Senator from this District,
gets up, and on his own behalf announces a
county Convention for the first Monday in
June, then only little more than fortnight
of.
Il was in obedience to the summons Of
the distinguished gentleman alluded 10, that
the convention Of six or seven, (the pre-
else number seems TO be es uncertain as
the number of John Rogers famiy,) as
sembled at Keytesville. We are not pre-
pared TO account for or describe the poem
liar political complexion OF the various
members Of the Convention; individually
and socially we know them all, and we
have no objections 10 them as gentlemen
But of some of them, we barely, if it all,
know them 10 be Democrats. or others,
we never had any intimation Of their De-
mocracy till We heard of their being dele
gates. II, however, we are not acquainted
with their political affinitles, present and
past, in full, we can speak safely on anoth-
er point, on which there is q closer bond,
and a more common feeling of fraternity
than any that might have existed in regard
TO political distractions or opinions. They
are all bitter opposers,-or were, last WIN
ter, 10 the Charlton g. Randolph Rail Road;
and we behold such OF them are Demo-
Gratis, or claim to be, forgetting that defer
ence 10 the will OF the majority which is
in a popular government The only assurance
for the public good and-the essence OF De-
mocracy; instead of quietly acquiesclng IN
the Judgment and wishes Of the people, are
willing to sacrifice the harmony and pros
perity Of their party TO crafty their earnest
desire TO defeat that expressed will. That |
9 few Democrats should be willing to for
get their party ties and the considerations
which usually influence political action, for
Tie sake Of p1INdtt IOCdi Sho'1 NSNS avs
surprise us; but that fix or seven,-say
seven-arrogating 10 represent the PIG vo.
tiers, Of three small townships-sslf called
and self constituted into Convention
shall presume TO speak for the whole De-
mocracy at county, is reaching magnif-
cence Of impudence which surprises us.
After travelling with these gentlemen to
the smagnificence of impudence, and talk
ing little about usages of the party, the
Gazette" faces the "seven" thus:-
The gauntlet is thrown down, however,
by these few refractory Democrats. They
are responsible for Juggling in local issues,
and sowing dissensiOns in the party. We
had hoped there would be none Of it. If
they thipk they are the whole Democracy
Of Charlton, it remains for them 10 show
how wide they can make the breach. If
hey abandon party landmarks and depart
rom party custom, while arrogating all the
we must look out for ourselves
