Ed. Dem: Last evening | attended
what was called Republican CLUB meet
ing, that VAS held at the school house in
this place. 1t was the first meeting of
the kind that | ever attended, and | must
say that | was somewhat disappointed
The Republicans protested to have met to
disseminate republican principles; but
when they undertook to tell what their
principles were, The result was as | might
have known, they had none. One repub-
lican said he had once opposed the old
whig party. and assigned as the reason,
that 1t was not national THAT IL was pre-
slavery in principle, and that it was sec
tienal. But now he had found the ripht
party, whose principles were just right
here listened attentively, to learn what
their principles were, but again, as might
have expected, lie could not tell what they
were.
Another one stated that there was great
need of distributing republican docu-
ments, that there were men in this commu
that did not know what the republican
principles were. l thought just as he
did, only little more so.
One speaker said he was not an aboli-
ZIONIST. Another recommended Sew ard g
great speech as fit republican document
for circulation.
They labored faithfully to procure sign
ers 10 the constitution. They would scold
awhile and then coax awhile. BY these
means they succeeded in getting few
nibbles. In spite, however, of ali their
threatning and coaxing, some republicans
went away without signing the constitu-
ton.
There were about twenty-five persons
there, including Democrats and boys; of
that number about half dozen signed the
constitution.
| attended this meeting to learn, if pos
slble. upon what the republicans here
founded the hope of the success of their
party in the coming campaign of 1860,
but find myself no wiser on this subject
than | was before, and must now come TO
one of two conclusions either that re
publican club meeting is poor place to
gam intelligence. or that this one was a
perfect fzzle. Yours, truly,
A DEMOCRAT.
