Tempest in a Teapot."
On the table before me lie two renarka.
bic doekynisats, in the shape of stcalls" fol
Dimicratic mass conventions, TO be held
in our quiet city, during the month Of
March, 1858. will give you the prom.
inept features of both. The first appears
TO embody the quakings of the ms; ths
second, the troubles of the Outs-neither
appear to look much beyond their own SCI
fish ends. The first is headed
"The Union must and shall be Preserved"
Then follows the PETER of bird, sup
posed to be an eagle, from whose beak
hangs scroll, onwhich is printed in capi-
tai letters-"Stand by Old Buck" then
follows in large black letters, democratic
Convention" Then we are told by the
Chairman of the Democratic Central Com
mittee of Knox County, Mr.. William Beam
ESQ, that he twas authorized and directed
to call mass convention of the friends OF
the policy of the administration Of James
Buchanan, as far as devolved, and especi-
ally of his policy on the Kansas question,
as laid down in his recent message, trans
mitting the Leeompton Constitution to the
Senate Of the United States, in Knox and
the surrounding counties, to assemble in
the city of Mt. Vernon, on Monday, March
Is, ls5s-the birthday of Gen. Andrew
Jaekson-(so, Jackson 'aint dead yet,)-to
then and there counsel as to the best
means of aiding the old Patriot lis it Jack
son or old Buck p at the head of the Gov
ernment to defeat the Vaccinations of the
Black Republicans (Bigger in the wood
pile) and dilapidated (thank you for the
word) Democrats, their allies" To aid
them IN doing this, an appeal is made to
aCols, Allen, Todd, Medll, Medary, Saw
yer and Hoagland, (6 Colonels;) Judges,
Birchard, Belden, Kennon, jr, and Bartlett,
a Judges;) Robert McKelly, ESQ.,, and
Others, (no names given of the Ohio Sem
ate; Calvin Edison, ESQ.,, and others, (still
no names of the House of Representa-
tives." Then comes the lists of marshals,
committees, &C., and concludes with
There will be a torch-light procession in
the evening" 1t don't mention whether
tar or schiskey will be used-rather guess
it will be rotgut
Now look on this picture! Both painted
by the harmonious Democracy! 1t is head
ed thus
aLet the People Rule" Then follows
the same bird alluded to in the other doeu-
ment-from the beak hangs suspended
"Men change, but Principles never" This
bird is evidently two faced fowD then
follows-"The Democracy of Knox County
who are opposed to the Lecompton swim
die, are earnestly requested to meet in Mass
Convention in the Court House, Mount
Vernon, on Saturday, 9th of March, A. D.
1853" This call appears to be made nee
essary by the fact That the Ins had got the
start of the Outs, and called their meeting
for the 18th proximo, and so to head the
Outs, the ms calls theirs for the 6tb.-
Now we quote again-"Every Democrat
IN Knox County, who is not willing that
The Democratic party should be prostituted
4 always doubted her chastity to the base
and iglloble purposes of canonizing, (they
always said that the stories of using Can
non in Kansas, were some of Greelay's
lies) Fraud, defending Foreigners, support
ing Ballot-Stuffers, and thereby aiding the
infamous attempt of a minority to impose
upon the people of Kansas Constitution
loathed and dispised by them" Then fol-
lows paragraph composed of the head
lines used by Horace Greeley in giving to
his readers the news from Kansas, and then
intimates that the course pursued by the
Ias is calculated to ''fatally disrup the
Democratic party" meaning thereby that
the Outs could never be ms.
This meeting is to be addressed by H.
B. Payne, A. G. Thurman, John A. Cor
win, G. W. McCook, J. H. Geiger aud D.
o. Morton. The call is signed by "a har-
monious Democrats of Knox county, 10 of
whom have been weighed by the people
at the ballot-box, and found lacking.
What is to be done? The sssufferings
Of the Democracy is intolerable," and un-
less something is done, and that right
speedily, l am afraid they will vomit them
selves to death. "Things is already work
ng." They are reading each other out of
he ranks like blazes, and unless they are
stopped, like the Kilkenny Cats, nothing
will be left but their tails, and that in
diseased condition
! Send your reporter up here, Mr.. Editor
10Th on the 9th and the 18th, and give
Tour readers faithful description of the
ield of battle.
FAIR PLAY.
