The Grand Democratic POw-wOvv I'm
BOOnviIIe.


BooNvILLE, Ind, June %, 1860.
EDITOR JoURNAL.-We had grand De-
mocratie Rally in this place last night,
short account of which propose to give
you.
Since the news of the " double headed
convention " reached here, there has been
an irrepressible confict" going on be-
tween the two wings of the divided Demo-
cracy. Bitter and hard words have been
spoken, and some of the " harmonious of
your city have shown their hand in the con-
fict. The good-looking Willard of the
Enquirer came up here on Tuesday last, on a
mission to take in all those refractory Buck
Democrats who have been swearing all the
time that they never will support Douglas
He and Mr.. Dalrymple kindly waited upon
the Hon. Judge Parrett, andproposed taking
him in first, but the Judge modestly declined
stating that she was ready to vote" Mr.
Willard next approached Mr.. S. P. Lowe
proprietor of the Warrick Democrat. Simon
showed very refractory disposition, and
could not be induced by any soft or oily
words to give in his adhesion to the Little
Giant at first, but after a while, after snaii-
ing and billing and cooling together,,,the con-
fict ended.
The Enquirer man received the appoint
ment of Prosecutor of the Common Pleas
Court, which is now in session, from the
Hon. Judge Moore for the present term.
1t is whispered round that he will be a can
didate for the office. He claims that % his
business up here is only to prosecute the
natives, and not that of a missionary"
Yesterday, Mr.. Charles DENLY arrived in
town. He had been here but short period
till we saw the effects of his words. His
words were like oil on the troubled waters
Judge Parrett at once gave in his adhesion
to Douglas and said that he was ready to
vote now. And in little while a flaming
placard was issued from the Warrck Demo-
crat office, and posted all over town, that a
Democratic Rally would be held at the
Court House that night, and that Hon. W.
F. Parret and G.. DENLY Esq, would ad-
dress the people Fifty-five of the people
did actually turn out, including Republic
cans and boys, the Republicans and boys
making at least one half that were there.
Mr.. DENLY opened the campaign by
tame, milk-and-water speech of about fifteen
minutes, in which he stigmatized the Re-
publican party as (" Yankee Abolitionists,"
and Black Republican" fanatics.
He conjured the Democracy not to dig
their own grave and the grave of the
Union flor the Democracy mean to dis
solve the Union this time sure, and no mis-
take, if Old Abe is elected President) He
took his seat amidst tremendous cheering
and applause from Messrs. Parrett and Viii
lard alone, no other person participating in
the least Judge Moore and Dalrymple
sat apart to themselves " like sheep before
their shearers, for they opened not their
mouths"
Judge Parrett then took the stand amidst
great applause from Willard and DENLY,
and proceeded to speak at some length on
the necessity of " Harmony" He preferred
the Breckenridge ticket thousand times
before the Douglas, but for the good of the
cause, for the sake of defeating Henry S.
Lane, he was willing to make tie great
Sdcrifce. He told the people that owing to
his peculiar position he had intended to take
no particular part in politics this year
Perhaps he might make one more speech,
perhaps not, and would not now have taken
part but there appeared to be some little
disturbance in the harmony of the party,
and that he thought it his duty to exhort
the party to be harmonious in their action.
Look at this whole Rally. What could
be more ridiculous or Notifying to Douglas
Democracy. In the first place the call or
placard was got out by Editor Frary, who
has not yet given in his adhesion to Doug
las, nor is it mentioned in the card that it is
to be Douglas rally. In the next place,
the Douglas men were not participants in
the rally in any shape whatever, only as
quiet and peaceable lookers-on. And again,
both of the speakers have been the bitter
and loud opponents of Douglas until a few
hours before their speeches were made, and
neither of them said word IN favor of
Popular Sovereignty. All they urged was
Union and harmony.
How do you like the speeches, Douglas Dem
ocrats? Where now is your Squatter Sow
ereignty principle? Why do you let your
enemies supersede you and ignore your only
distinctive principles? Do you submit
tamely to your bitterest enemies to manage
this your campaign, instead OF yourselves.
Are you to be taken into the " healthy or
ganization," instead of Youtaking the Buck
