The Democratic Ratification

The Democratic Ratification
Meeting Our ReIghbOr in
Trouble.
The Democracy of this county had an ex-
cellent meeting on last Saturday week
They came together in goodly hunters from
all parts Of the county to ratify the nomina-
tionof Mcclellan and Penleton They al
seemed to he ia a good humor, and were
very enthusiastic They listened attentively
TO al the speakers said ON that occasion, and
wen; nome n good order, determined to do
al in their power to secure the election Of
the Chicago nominees. The speakers talked
plainly to the people-told them truths that
will not soon he forgotten In short, every
thing that was said and done pleased every
person piescnt, except candidates for Office,
shodlyites, and the editor of the shoddy or
gan Of this county.
We noticed that our ncighbUr of the Re-
pvb'icda was present at the meeting and
seemed to be in great trouble, in almost as
much trouble as VIXEN neghbor Shotwcll
last winter had him by the ear. We could
tell by his ooURtenGRce that the crowd and
what the speakers said, was anything but
pleasing to him. If there is one thing
more than another that cxcites our sympa-
thy, it is to see persons in trouble. We felt
for our ncighbor, and knew that if he went
to work INN lately, an iu3al thtt pDo-
eIJH pen of his, he would say many things
that he would be heartily ashamed of here
after. We thought couple of nights rest
and quiet Sabbath, would make him more
calm and conplacent; but we were sadly dis
appointed when We supposed that he Would
get thus. His master, Major Bingham,
came home that night, and after spending
that night aud all day Sunday with him,
his mind wss more disturbed than ever
Instead of spending the Sabbath, as is gen
orally his usual custom, in going to the
house where prayer ought to be made, .
he spent the day, with Bingham's assis-
tance, in writing three columns of as fat
batch of stuff as ever appeared in the Cadiz
Repubbcar, and that would certainly be
very fat If he had used his owu thoughts
and had his own way in giving an account
of the meeting, and what the speakers said,
his editorials last week would have been
much more creditable. Although he idol
ICES his mastOr Major Bingham, Mr.. Hat
ton should remember that Bingham can
neither write nor suggest-he can talk lit
tie, and that is all that he can do.
We hope never again to see our neghbor
in so much trouble as he was on that Satur-
day. We know that it Injuries him, both
mentally and physically, and causes him to
write silly fiat things for his paper, that in
a short time he would wish he had never
written. Mr.. Hatton is naturally a sociat
jortdl, cycrer, agreeable gentleman, and when
properly at himself, is one of the last men
to aoritc l0,c slang and .fthy abuse about his
political opponents; but political campaign,
bad advisers and quarreling in his paper
with members of his own party, such as he
had last winter with s. B. Shotwell, causes
him to lose his balance, aud his paper to
contain great many foolish silly, lying ar
ticles in it, such as last week S Cadiz Repnb-
can contained. For his sake we are glad
that the campaign will be short-that he
will soon be enabled to regain his proper
equilibrium, and give his mind that rest
and ropose that it seems at present to need.
We would also advise him to attend no
more Democratic meetings. They do not
agree with him. They arc injurious to both
his body and mind; and if he hears of an
other one in this town, our advice to him
would be to go away from the place, as he
did when the Democracy had their Con
gressional Convention in Cadiz a few weeks
since. Then his paper showed none of the
rawlings of distracted mind. Last week it
showed that it's editor was in great trouble;
and that another such Democratic meeting
in Cadiz, as was held on last Saturday week
would put him beside himself
