sar The Dem ocracy had last MoDd'

sE The Denocr had last Monday
night, what some have facetiously called
a "graud rally" By repeated rings OF
the bell they succeeded in inducing about
two hundred people to assemble in the
Court House, out of curiosity undoubted-
ly, for at least half we're Republicans and
anti LecomptoD Democrats, TO witness the
grand farce of the Post masters, Office
holders and expectants, rati6cstion Of the
Lecompton nominees for state officers,
and their approval of Buebanan's Admin
istration, because be had so meritorious-
ly rewarded their humble selves. Not
withstsndiug there were number OF no
ted speakers present, and who used their
utmost to generate enthusiasm, they at
no time succeeded in spiritusliliDg more
than half dozen pair of boots, and which
dolorously beat time to "Hark from the
tonbs o doleful sound" The 6rst sacri-
fcer called upon to make his Offering was
Judge Porter, who mot numerically J
pitched into the opposition, calling them
oil kinds of bad names. and asserted that
the Governor of Ohio bad said that he
would &c eet the Southern slave catchers
on the borders of the State with bayonet
in hand, and welcome them 10 bloody
graves. in case they attempted to rescue
their fu sitises, from that State. This IL
not the fact, for when the indigpstion
meeting was held few mouths since in
Ohio, called on account of rescuing
some fugitives, and stealing some free
negroes and carrying them to Kentucky,
Gov. Chase addressed the meeting, and
was, in every sense of the term, conscrv-
atise. He told them that the flaws must
be obeyed, and if they did not like them
they must 90 about it in legal way and
repeal them" A man protesting to be q
"bIue Stocken Presbyterian" as the Judge
said be was, should keep little neareI
10 facts, in order to be consistent, in oul
opinion. The judge stated that the lie
compton Democracy were run out of the
State last Fall, and that all the Lecompton
ties bad been defeated except our "Gal
liant Dimmick," and possibly Florence o
Philadelphia, whose seat was strongl,
contested; and the judge did not belies'
Florence would get it, whether be had los
it or not, just because the opposition wer
in the aseendency 10 the House of Rep
resentatives, and were too dishonest, t.
act boDorsbly. We think this did moi
however, hurt any body's feeling serious
ly. When the judge spoke of the Tent
Legion hasing sustained our sc Gallan
Dimnick," while all the other Congress
ioDal Districts 'cayed in," he spoke wit
warmth and emphasis, and halted VIE
through, for the boots to rattle. But til
stupid boots did not move. He iOall
wound up by eDtreatiDg the DemOerac
to rally 10 all its agony "fOr the purpOs
alone OF yindieating the dear principles 9
Democracy" Dear indeed, for they COS
sbout so millions annually to keep tbeE
alive. We wonder If it would not be We
to let them die out once, aud eBdesvor I
get cheaper and better quality!
The next speaker was Richard Brod
bead, who remarked that this Falls, an
next Fslls election would bare q gres
bearing upon the stability and pernaneu
cy of the Union; aud be very wisely an
iuperiousiy informed us that I'VE need'r
laugh at the idea, for the fool killer hsd'u .
bees ell over. and that the fools ss'at a
dead down South yet."
