Democratic Meeting at StumptOWp.
There was military parade of the Belmont
Home Guards, composed fcitlzens Of Belmont
and Harrison counties at Stumptown. in
Athens township, Harrison County, on the 18th
day Of August, 1861. .......
After considerable parade and drill, in various
manoeuvres, which was well done, under the
supervision Of Captain Ferguson, and Lieuten-
ant Dysart, as also the good order and disei-
pline, reflected cred it and honor upon both of.
ficers and privates. There was a large compa-
ny OF spectators both male and female, who
came to see the military display, and also tc
hear some good old fashioned Democratic doc
trine. 1t having been previously announced
that there would be some two or three Demo.
cratic speakers on hand to entertain the crowd
and in accordance with this expectation, wher
the military parade was brought to close, The
entire crowd, with the military company, were
invited to repair to grove close BY to heal
the speeches expected on the occasion.
After Assem- bling in the grove, the meeting
was called to order by appointing Hiram Dysart
Of Belmont county, President, and James Kirk
patrick, of Harrison county, Secretary.
After the meeting was thus ofganzed M. II
Phillips. Esq, was called npon and addressed
the audience for short time in a very lucit
and patriotic speech, upon the condition of ou
beloved country, showing that the salvation o
our country depended solely upon the Demo-
cratic party. and the entire incapability of tn,
republican party to manage and carry on the
government constitutionally.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Phillips speech, mu
sic was isooursed to the audience by the band,
after which Mr.. Phillip Donahu,, Esq, Of Cad
liz, delivered most powerful and impressv,
speech on the causes Of our national difficulties
and the woeful consequences of protractet
war, showing in plain and unmistakable Ian
guage, the enormous burden of taxation which
must inevitably fall upon the shoulders of toll
ing millions, as the legitimate result OF thit
war, unwarranted. Mr. Donahue advocated
compromise and peace as the best means OF re.
storing the union to what it once was, and call
ed upon the Democracy to work calmly yet de.
terminedly for the restoration of our govern
ment TO It's former standing, notwithstanding

An error or two having been mads in the
list we published yesterday Of those Senator'S
who offered and supported, in several republi.
can caucuses the resolution directing an i'm
mediate advance of the Union army upon Ma

as iolows:---

| Ii wilt be observed that The names OF SEN
ators Pomeroy and Lane, border ruffians from
| Kansas, and Bingham. Of Michigan. take the
places OF those OF Messrs. Foot, Foster and
Simmons, gentlemen whose conservative views
entitle them to this correction. As the black
list now stands it exhibits the full roll OF the
Jsckobin club OF the Senate which is responsible
Tor the disaster ut Bull Run. These fanatics,
fndin that the good sense oethe other Senator's
prevented them from unsurping the power OF
the Commander in-Chiefby formal resolution,
worked upon the President through private in
/
organs here, and through old Blair and his nu-
merous progeny. who imagined tha they wers
in Jackson's time, and could now play as their
old came OF bluff and brag These parties are
responsible for our defeat at Bull Run; for they
instigated the H. timed, i'll presared. i-omened
advance, and the country which they imper-
illed should hold them to rigid account for
their ignorant blundering. Politicians such as
these do harm enough in their own places; but
when they mind their own business they are
some sort endurable But whsn they talk .
! President into seducing our leading General
into such aia'al advance, they deserve the ut
most and the severest reprobation. That they
did this is undeniahle; aud it only adds to
their many that they previously offered res
olution in caucus superseding the veteran Lieu
tenant General Scott for inet6 siency and dila-
toriness, basing their resolution, we presume,
upon the Tibuae's charges that Gen. Scott
sympathized with traitors and was untittld for
his position by incapacity. The darkness of .
caucus meeting cannot hide such doings LON
the public eye; and these Guy Fawkses. who
would set the temple oil Liberty in q hame. can
neither escape detection nor punishment--M NJ

are only trying to humbug the peorle Tor tho
purpose of securing the lOaves and fishes OF Of
fee.
But we don't wish to he considered in the
above remarks as trying to hinderan one from
leaving the Democratic party and going into
another organization. The doors of that good
old party are always open to receive honorable
members, or let out those who have become too
corrupt to stay within its folds. Some stay in
our party as long as they can get Office and after
holding it for years, and cannot reasonably ex-
pect any more avors, from the party, they get
down on their knees, and with tears in their
eyes go to the opposition and say II they had
tit o do over again thav would not have voted
for such Democrat Others again, stay in the
party as long as they are poor, but when the
party gives them all the Offices they can, and
when they get so that they can blow and
spread themselves and feel under no obligations
what to the party for what it has done for them,
they then leave it and hunt up some new or
ganization where they think they can still get
office or other avors. All such characters are
better outside Of the pales o. the Democratic
Union Church than it; and the sooner they
leave the better it will be for themselves and
and the party that they are so ungrateful to; as
their places can be more than filled with more
honorable men. There is plenty Of room for
such men in this new political humbug Union
Party as there was in that other humbug, the
Anti Nebraska party. Join in with them gen
tlemen and peace be with you. You will be
excellent subjects to participate in all OF their
caucusses, meetings, &c., and il you watch the
corners closely you may get to be the "big toad
| in the puddle"
