Serene Democratic Meeting

A Meeting Of the Democratic Club, was
held on Saturday last, at Leggotts Hotel
in Greenwood township, this county
Hundreds were in attendance-Ladies and
strangers-an the Grove was alive with
people.
The Editor Of this Journal, and Col. J
G. Freeze, by invitation addressed the as
sembly. In turn, the speakers defended
the Bible, expounded the Constitution and
explained the Law, not forgetting to ex
pose the conduct Of some of the political
preachers Of our country, exhibiting them
in their garb of wolves in sleeps clothing
Judging from the interest manifested by
the meeting, it would seem that the peo-
pie appreciated the remarks made, and
duly understand their duties in the premi-
ses.
reenwood and Pine townships arc ia
motion. The Democrats will carry there
this fall as they have not always done
heretofore, by very large majorites. Look
out for Democtatic thunder from old Co.
lumbia.

Another Abolition Outrage.

We learn that on the 25th ult., at about
three o'clock in the morning, under the
shelter of darkness, increased by dense
fog, gang of armed soldiers and citizens
broke the door of the Monitor office, en-
tered and destroyed several cases Of type
and a por tionof the furniture. A detach-
mont of a military patrol discovered the
proceedings, and -allied their comrades
on a double quick, but the depredators
fed without finishing their work, and
without detection. 1t will be reoolected
that il the former attack there was an en-
tire destruction Of all the material of the
Office. The paper will appear without de-
lay.

B@y" THE radicals have just discovered
that 1t is not so easy TO "bag whole
army as they tried to make the people be-
licyc. They used to speak of it as the
simplest thing in the world, and could find
no mildcr term Of reproach for General
who failed to do it, than that be was in
heart "traitor." But, after Burnside's 5
inglorious defeat at Fredericksburg, and
Hookers disastrous failure at Chancellor
vile, they have become more moderate in
their demands, and are now satisfied with
n General who defeats the enemy in hard
fought battle, although he may not be able
to "bag" them afterward. What was
"treason' in Mcclellan at Antictam, is
not allowed to detract from the glory that
Meade achieved at Gettysburg.

THE GREAT INTERNATIONAL WHEAT
sHow,-Notwithstanding the injury wheat
has sustained in some sections from the
midge and from rust, it is thought that the
international Wheat Show to be held at
Rochester, N. Y, September s, 0 and 10,
1868, will be great success. Competi-
ton is open to the world. Premiums arc
offered amounting to five hundred and
forty dollars, and the time of holding the
show has been fixed so that the whca,
exhibited will be in demand for seed -
On the last day of the exhibition public
auction will be held oh the ground at
which the exhibitors can offer their wheat
for sale.
We are requested to state that parties
from a distance who cannot attend the cx-
hibItion may forward their wheat and
have it entered. Full particulars can be
obtained by addressing the President of
the Socisty, JOSEPH HARRIS, Rochester,
N. Y.

EARLY WHEAT The GencSce Farmer
for August says that since the advent of
the midgc the great aim Of the wheat grow
er has been 10 get variety that will come
into flower few days before the midgc
flies make their appearance. The reason
why the Mediterranean i. so much less LA
bla to injury by the midgc, (crroneously
called the wccvil,) is its carlincss. But it
is a wheat of comparatively poor guilty.
What is wanted, the Farmer says, is a
variety of white wheat, "as good as the
SouIes, and as early as the meditcrra-
noau," If such a variety can be found, it
is hoped that it will be exhibited at the
Great International Wheat Show to be
held at Rochester, N, Y, September 8, 0
and 10, 1863. Such a wheat, the Iarme,
asserts, .aEould DO worth millians Of dol.
lars to Western New York alone"
