EDITOR JOURNAL:
Dear Sir:-Saturday, the oath inst, was
a glorious day for Democracy and freedom,
in old Spencer. The day was bright and
clear and the air invigorating. Providence
seems to be OH the side of right. The dust
was laid thdday previous, by gentle showers,
and the genial sunshine on Saturday
brought crowds of men and lovely women
TO the Convention. Never had the village
of Centerville, witnessed such large and
enthusiastic Convention, and its inhabitants
were completely bewildered as delegation af-
terdelegation of the invincible cohorts of free
dom, poured along their streets. Music and
banners and enthusiastic cheering enlivened
the morning. By III o'clock A. NJ, there
were between 1900 and l, 500 voters on the
ground; all animated by one common i'm
pulse of hatred to Lecomptonism and tyrdn-
n.y. The popular indication is aroused
against a tyrannical and faithlesS admins
tration, and all the lies Of the hired tools of
First District, TO the contrary, can do moth
ing to allay, or prevent, the deep settled
hostility of the honest masses, against those
faithless rulers who have violated every
principle of honor and honesty, in order to
fasten an odious Constitution upon free
people. The Convention was organized at
IL o'clock a. NJ. by the appointment of R. s.
Hicks, as President, and G.. r. Morgan, Sec
retlry. Every township in the county was
represented.
a committee of one from each township
was selected to draft rules for the govern
ment of the Convention. The report of
the committee was unanimously accepted
by the meeting. The several township del
egations retired for consultation and TO ap-
point one of their number to cast the vote
of the township. The persons thus selected
retired and selected by ballot, the following
ticket:
RepreSentatice-CALvIN JONES.
Tredsmer-JoHS ". RICHARDSON.
.Sherif-JoHS A. STOCKING.
Surreyor-WILLFoRD WELLS

A most excellent ticket, and one that will
carry three. fourths of all the voters of Spen-
Ger county. These men have never been
anything but Democrats all their lives, firm,
CONSTANT and reliable, voting the unscratch-
ed ticket, and SO devoted to Democracy that
their honest hearts revolt at the bare idea OF
endorsing the rascally and villainous policy
of the Administration and its bought mp
minions, on the Kansas question. \ thou
sand sturdy ard consistent Democrats stand
ready to back up this ticket, as well as al
least eight hundred, of the honest opponents
of Democracy, old line Wings, Republicans
! and Americans, who vote with us in order
TO vindicate the great principles of self
government, that has been wilfully and
shameleSsly violated. The ticket as report.
