That Meeting.

Some disappointed and indignant gentle.
man, at whose head was Colonel Forney,
brought about sort of indignation meeting
IN Philadelphia few days since. The
meeting was doubtless large one, as most
meetings are in that city. We reco!lect the
lime when the hatless George Mundy would
count his auditors by thousands in Indepen.
dence Square. George was odd, and thought
differently from most people on most sub.
lects, but George could get up meeting,
and carry 1t on, too, until the police would
carry him off. This last was done frequent.
y TO the great apparent regret OF the lockers
on, but alas for human sincerity, we have
seen many laugh smolhered in the sleeve
as the vociieraling and indignant Mundy
was being marched of between two hurley
"stars." Now Mr.. Forney and MIR. Mundy
are quite alike in some respects, though il
must be confessed immeasura5ly different
IN others. The way in which the world
manages its affairs suits neither of them,
and the forte of both is to express their dis
appreciation before a crowd All, what n
wise provision of our Constitution that is
which declares that the right of the people
peaceably to assemble and make speeches
shall not be abridged; otherwise how many
Mundys and Foneys and other notorious
characters might go down 10 The grave and
10 oblivion at one and the same time!
But we are sorry that our whilom friend
Forney has gone astray. The inmitable
Forney! He who could write philippe and
pull wire as no other man could Forney,
you're sad loss. You're a trump, but why
did you have yourself shuflled out of the
pack because you could not be a bower q?
You're ''some pumpkins" Int why did you
dry up" because you could not 90 into
the pie? You led the pack and gave tongue
well, but why did you "skulkn because you
could not devour the game when caugh, ?
These questions contain their own answers.
We had hoped better things of Col. For
ney-had some reliance on his patriotism
But we remember that Arnold a, one time
stood high in the estimation of Washington.
The staunch democracy of the coun'ry can
easily spare Forney and his five hundred or
five thousand followers in the city, and have
enough left "for all practical purposes" A
few city office hunters, and their fewer fimps
in the country can produce but little effect
OIL the mass of the people.
The Democracy of the hills and valleys
OF Pennsylvania are not TO be won from
their love of James Buchanan and the un-
changing principles which he represents by
meeting inthe State House yard.

Not Quite Winter Yet.

With our distant readers, who have been
longing and signing for the sweet music of
sleigh bells, we must say 10 them that we
are in as bad predicament as any other
locality, with the exception of Sullivan Co.
region. Last Saturday evening desperate
effort was made 10 snow, but didn't make
out much'-and adjourned, 10 try it over,
some time in the night. On Sunday morn
ing following, the Question was called up
again, but the result was the same-not
snow enough 10 measure mathematically
three inches in depth. On Monday morning
following few more fakes of snow fell,
but they soon ceased 10 fall. Aud, al pres
ent writing (Monday noon) the sky is clear:
sun shines,-all is calm. However, on last
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we had pretty
cold weather-which we could call nearly
winter weather. All that was lacking was
that good old while coat of SHOW, which we
all delight 10 see, this season of The year.
Ice is fromed on Fshingcreek five inches
thick-didn't measure the length-and looks
as clear as crystal. The citizens are busiIy
engaged filling their ice houses ii beng the
first opportunity that has been afforded them
of doing so this winter, they are bound to
procure it at the first bid, for fear they might
hear the Provident:al Auc,ioneer say 'going,
gone"

Il The peOple.n

Not that we are in favor of interdicting the
submission of a Constitution of any new State
to the whole people thereof-because we
are in favor of permitting them to do as they
please on this and other subjects-.we men.
ton fact which must be curious one TO
those who so dolorously weep over the sac
riGced liberties of the Topekai,es. ti this:
The Constitution OF the United States was
not ratified en- masse by the people of the
several States, but by CoEventions Of Delegates
thereof And this at the recommendation
OF George Washington!
Another fact for those who are so extreme
ly fearful that every thing will not be done
by the people. The Constitution OF the U. s.
may at any time be amended or altered al
the instance of a minority of the people,
and that vahout The consent Of The m iority.
Again: Acts of Congress are frequently
passed in opposition TO the wishes of ma
jor,y of the people, every representative
voting, and each voting in accordance with
The wishes of his constituents. The same
is true with respect 10 State Laws.
Now, these are truths such as school boys
generally know but if any of our young
friends have been ignorant Of Them, and do
not command proper sources of information,
we shall be Pleased 10 illustrate. As for
those overgrown boobies who set up for
statesmen and either gull themselves or
attempt TO gull others, or both, with the idea
that the dear people must always do things
afler the fashion of tie Jersey township
elections, where they throw rail across the
road and, the different parties of voters
ranging themselves on different sides. count
noses, we leave them 10 that bathos in
which they delight TO founder. The Amer
lean people have wisely formed govern
nent of checks and balances, the interests
of the individual being considered with
reference TO the interests of sections, and
that of sections with reference to the inter-
ests of the whole, and major,ies do rule
But not mere numerical majorities.
The true Democrat is not utopean. He
does not claim that the people OH one side
of the rail are the Whohe people. He reflects
that The people on the other side have not
only wishes, but rights, and rights, moreover,
which are, in fair government 10 be re-
spected; and that in order that these rights
be understood thesspeople should be heard.
Hence the sending of representatives by
minorities. If the will of numerical ma
jorlty should rule, why allow the minority a
voice?
We have been led TO these remarks by
the deep.mouthed and persistent brayings
of these latter days about the "peopIe," the
majority" words which contain mine of
principle when rightly used, but which, in
the mouths of demagogues, mean profit and
plunder.

SUIcIDE.-We arc informed, that, a young
man about 10 years of age, named John
Irwin, who was residing with his father,
near centre turnpike; about mile above Or
wigsburg. SchuyIkill CO., committed suicide
on last Sunday morning, at about O'Clock,
by shooting himself with double barrel
sho, gun.
1t appears that he desired 10 engage in
some kind of business, in the city of Phila-
delphia, and to enable him 10 do so, request
ed certain amount of money. The father
refused this, on the ground that he was
too young and inexperienced; which operat-
ed so much upon his mind, that in fit of
excitement he took his own life.
