There will be Democratic County Convention
held at the Courthouse in Plymouth on the 18th
day OF June, 1859, at l o'clock p. NJ, to nomi-
nate candidates fol COUNTY Clerk. and Commits
sioner. The Democrats in the several Townships
are requested to meet in township convention on
the llth day of June next, TO elect delegates
to the County Convention. This step is highly
necessary, and is most earnestly urged upon the
Democrats of every township, and ii is hoped that
no township will neglect it, and particularly that
Democrats will not PERMIT any others to meet and
appoint for them while they stay at home.
1t has been thought that an apportionment of
delgates based on the last Congressional vote,
wouldbe as equal as it could be madc-and that
ratio has been adopted. This viii give each town
ship delegates as follows:
Union s,-Center 2I,-Green .S,-Bonrbon 8,
German Polk 6,-North 6,-Tippecanoe 5,
West 6.
Let every Democrat consider it his duty to at
tend the township meeting, and sec that delegates
are selected who will attend

That Bourbon Article.

A communication appeared in the Re-
publican of las: week, over the names of
VIM Acker and others, in which the
Democrat is subjected to round of abuse
fer stating that seven Democrats had ap-
piled for admission into the lodge of Good
Templars at Bourbon, and were every one
blackballed We obtained our information
from reliable source--sufficiently so to
justify as in making the statement alluded
TO. We shall investigate the matter and if
we have done injustice to tie lodge or any
individual, we will take great pleasure in
setting the matter right before the public.
After realin5 the article we come to the
conclusion that it amounts to about the
same that Coxen's last one did-simply
nothing. They deny our statement but
do not adduce any proof that they were
Incorrect. They say tina; they would have
offered us their article for publication, on
ly they supposed it would meet with :he
same fate that CoxeH's did--a refusal.
Ave can inform them, and all others, that
Coxen did not ask us to publish his arti-
Gle. only to copy it from the Republican
which we respectfully declined doing. If
a person, who feels aggrieved at anything
which may appear in our paper, has not
nlanliness enough 10 meet US face to face
aud request the use Of our columns to de-
fend himself, we are doubly sure we will
not publish his lying, silly stuff from an
other paper. and thus give his article t,co

en- and the ..illustrious four know it not
because they expected to meet with re-
fusai that they did not come and ask us to
publish their articles, but it was because
they knew they contained unmitigated lies
and the most disrespectful language, and
therefore they could not cammand sufici-
ent courage to request us to publish them.

DIED--Wednesda morning, June 9Th
1859, EUGENE HUTCHINSON, aged 26 years
and 10 months.
Our hearts arc filled with sorrow and
cur eyes dmmed with tears, as we write
the above--the brief record of one W no has
been very dear to US. We have known
EUGENE long, and intimately; he had be-
come very near to us--almost brother,
and the memory of the many happy days
spent with him will always remain green
spot in the desert waste of life.
That he should be thus called in the
early summer Of his manhood--while life
itself was so real and earnest, so full Of
beauty and action, and with the bright
prospect of many happy and useful days
is indeed a severe affection to us and to his
many friends. The sincere and unaffected
grief, with which the news of his death
was received among his friends and ac-
quaintances, is an evidence of the high
seem in which he was held by those who
knew him best.
His work seemed unfinished labors
undone-but Death, the Great Finisher,
touched him,--and all was complete
Without murmur he laid aside the i'm
plements of earthly toll, and his spirit took
its flight to join the innumerable hosts who
labor in that heavenly work shop, where
the Divine Architect fashions and forms
the wondrous Machinery of the Universe.
Truly the keen sickle of the Destroyer
has been among us. Only short year
ago he laid the partner of his lile-h..s dear
LIzzlE-in the silent grave, and now, he
too. has started on the same dark Journey
She only went before, TO find and show the
way. May the light of til at pure and no.
ly love dispel the darkness that hovers
over the dim pathway. May its sweet
rays guide the fainting spirit over the
dark and shoreless river, and lead it up 10
the throne Of Him "who doeth all things
we'll"
s.All at rest row-all dust,-wave flows on wave
But the sea dries not. What to US the grave?
Itbrings no real homily; we sigh,
Pause for awhile and murmur" All must dle.'

Fourth Of July.

The question has been asked US a num-
Der of times the past week, whether we
are going 10 celebrate the fouth Of July In
Plymouth this year. We can only give
our opinion. and that is, we are not. Our
people as a general thing are very liberal
and are always ready to do their part, but
none of them care about taking the re-
sponsibility or trouble of setting the thing
III motion. 1t has been proposed to hold
a grand temperance celebration in this
place on the fourth We are not opposed
to temperance celebrations, but the fourth
of July is day in which sectional and
party feelings should be laid aside, and all
should unite in celebrating our nations
birth day, irrespective of this or that par
~, sect or order. We are opposed to a
Sunday School celebration. temperance
celebration, or any other kind of a cele-
bration that has for its object the good of
particular class Of people, OF that day.
There are great many good and patriotic
souls, who have the spirit Of &c coursiug
through their veins, who do not belong to
Sunday Schools or Temperance societies,
and consequently would not icel disposed
to unite in celebrating either one on that
day. If We Lave celebration let us have
"a regular old fashioned one,--furnish the
iboys all the fire crackers they want, en-
gage all the anvils in town and furnish
powder to keep them boOmingall day, bore
holes in all the logs and stumps within
