The Republican meeting at this
place on Saturday was. so far as the
attendance was concerned. most
humiliating failure. This is the truth
about 1t. and we would not disguise it
il we could. The late rains kept many
Of our people back in saving their har-
vests, and they remained at home in
their fields, while others were either
too lukewarm or too lazy TO cone out
For the first class there is some excuse;
for the latter none; AMI we offer NO
apology for them.
In every thing but the crowd. the
meeting was a decided success. The
speeches of Mr.. SMITH and Mr.. Con
Don were excellent ones in every sense
of that word. Mr.. GoRpoS spoke for
an hour. upon the relative positions OF
tho political parties. IIe disscctcd
Douglas and his policy in manner
which was very unsatisfactory to GER
tain Of that gentleman's worshipers
who were present. Mr.. G. is good
logician. and makes an unanswerable
argument.
He was succeeded by Mr.. SMITH in
speech Of more than two hours.
which was certainly one Of the most
eloquent we have ever been permitted
to hear. Any attempt on our past t.
give an analysis Of ii would but do il
injustice. We are sorry that il was
not heard by every voter in Randolph
County. At some future day in the
campaign we hope to DO able to pro.
cure these gentlemen's services again.

as has never been held in Old Ran.
dolph. We know our Republicans do
no, lack zeal. generally speaking. and
we believe that at future day they
will teach the Democracy that they
are still alive.
In this connection we must not for
get TO thank the Winchester Cornet
Band for their services. They added
much to the interest of the occasion by
their very excellent music. They are
entitled to the thanks of the Republi-
cans for their kindness. May they
have the pleasure of s'isting us in
clarifying over the election of "0ld
Abe" to the Presidency.

The know.Nothingis Of the
Democracy.

Tie uncircumci,ed were very bitter
in their denunciations Of the Know
Nothings a few years ago. but they
have fallen deeply in love with them
of late. Indeed there appears to be a
very strong affinity between the clark
lantern gentry" and modern Democ-
racy. For proof of this we need only
refer to the following facts:
1. The Douglas Democracy have
formed combinations with the Know
Nothings in several Of the States. es-
pccislly in New York and Georgia.
2. Humphrey Marshall, the prince
of the knights OF the Wigwam" in
Kentucky. gives in his adhesion to
the Democratic ticket. while he "cher-
ishes." using his own language. Ibis
American principles as warmly as
ever"
2. Lew. Campbell sympaihises with
Douglas. and refuses to support Lin.
coin because the Republican platform
is opposed to abridgins the rights Of
foreign born citizens.

The circulation OF this advertise

upon by the more religious part of his
readers for some explanation of the
matter, this he gave, as usual, 10y a

A full electoral ticket was formed.

tested by the Democracy.
The speeches were bitter against
Douglas. and proved conclusively that
the conflict between the factions is
"irepiessible."
The only remarkable feature of the
day was the adoption of resolution
proposing a coalition electoral ticket
with the Douglas fragn ent. upon the
express condition that the vote should
be eventually given to the Democratic
candidate who could by it be elected.
or most nearly elected. This will
place our Douglas puficrs and blowers
in sad dilemma. If they refuse to
accept the proposition. they tacitly
acknowledge that Breckenridge Is
stronger than Douglas, and that the
vote of Indiana would have to be
given to him. Again: their refusal to
compromise.-to accept this olive

The Democratic party is an extra
ordinary party. 1t is gifted with in.
dividnalitv. Ten aud twelve years
ago il was fully and completely com.
mitted to the doctrine Of Intervention
for the exclusion of Slavery from the
Territories. I'm 1854 it was in favor
Of non-intervcntion. and proposed Ia
let the people have slave property in
the Territories or not a they pleased.
At both of these periods it was de.
vo,edly attached to free soil and free
labor. and condemned slavery without
stint. But another change has come
over the spiri, OF its dream. This un-
changeable party has again changed.
The Constitution now, in its opinion,
gives Slave property the right to plead
itself in free soil in defiance o. Con-
gross, or the Territorial Legislatures;
yet their principles are Interchangeable
in their very nature when opposed to
the same subject matter"
