If people have rarely been 30 tried, there has

history affords no parallel of society so up
rooted and turned adrift; whose homes have
been 30 taken by a hostile power; whose slaves so
turned loose and melted to disorder, and whose
laws and even customs so abrogated-it affords
also no parallel of people SO fitted to submit

RELIGIous.-A very successful protracted
meeting has been held at Dublin, in this county,
under the superintendent of the Rev. Mr.. Memin
ger, the Methodist Episcopal pastor in charge of
this circuit We were informed, on Sunday,
that up to that timc about 48 persons had been
converted, and that much good had resulted
from the meeting. In this place, there is also
a meeting of tho same kind, now in progress,
under direction of the Rev. John w. Smith,
also of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which
has been attended with some success, but not so
great, we understand, as the Dublin meeting.
Both ministers are on this circuit, and are ener-
getic able and useful men, deservedly popular,
and well calculated, as far as we are capable of
Judging, to do much good.

Death of John Van Buren,.

John Van Buren, died on the 18th of this
month, on board the steamer Scotia, on his re-
turn from a tour in Scotland in search of health.
The immediate cause Of his death, was we be-
iere Inflammation of the Kidneys. His daughter
and niece were with him AT the time his death,
which took place while the vessel was off Cane
Race.
Mr. Van Buren, was widely known, and was
rather remarkable man. Besides being an
eminent lawyer, he was an orator of great pow
er and originality, and statesman of no ordi-
nary ability. He was the eldest son of the late
President Van Buren,, and was born at Hudson.
New York, on the 18th OF February 1910, and
graduated at Yale College in 1898, studied law
in the office of the Hon. Aaron Vanderpool, at
kinderhook, and soon after he was admitted to
the bar he went with his father as Sec! etary of
Legation to the court OF st. Denis, where he re-
manned until his father was recalled, two wears
afterwards. On his return home he soon OBJ
tanned large legal practice and was noted for his
peculiar and remarkable cloquence and lofty
views He was genial in his nature and pos
sessed great brilliancy and originality in CONVEX
sation, and was at once a f,vorite with all who
were thrown into his society. AS a politician, it
is enough to say that in all political contests for
the Presidency since the year 1874, as well as in
all questions which have agitated the nation
since that day, he took prominent and import
ant part, and ranked with the first statesmen and
politicians of his day. When quite young
man, Mr.. Van Buren, married Miss Vanderpool.
by whom he had one child, the daughter who
was with him during his late tour in Scotland.
Mrs. Van Buren, lived but few years after her
marriage, and Mr.. Van Buren, never afterwards
married.

The Election.

The election is now near at hand and each
party have their candidates in the field The
ticket at the head of our paper has been fairly
brought before the voters of the county, in the
regular mode, and therefore claims the support
of the Democrats and Conservatives of the coun-
ty. No man at this time should suffer his per-
sonal feelings to control, in any particular, his
action as politician, or as a well-wisher of law
and order. AT this time above all Others person
al preferences should be disregarded, and the
whole conservative element of the county should
move as one man to 10 the great work before us,
remembering that it is not for personal gratfca.
tiou or self aggrandizcment that we are now
moving forward, but for the overthrow OF sec.
tionalism, and the complete re-establishment
of our former rights and privileges. Honorable
as was the County Convention in all its dongs,
trustworthy and conservative as were each of its
members, anxious as all were to meet the views
of the conservative element which they repre-
sented it was not to be expected that they could
accommodate each one of us, in all things. The
most, and all that should have been required of
them, was that they should nominate an accept
able ticket pledged TO the support of those vital
measures which we ourselves look upon and sup
port the foundation stone of our liberties, and
the only guarantee of return ofthe administra-
tons of the State and national governments, to
that purity and equality which distinguished
the history of other days.
This they have done, and now it becomes our
duty to look over whatever mistakes they NAV
have made, if any there be, and to lay aside
every minor objection, desire and prejudice, as
unworthy the notice of men struggling for the
great principles which induced the Democratic
and Conservative parties to unite on the ticket
put into the field by the County Convention of
the % of October last. Tie true question for us
is not whether we like that man, or approve of the
course heretofore pursued by another, but it is
this, do the men nominated by the October Con-
vention represent our views, in regard to the
vital issues involved in the coming contest are
they prepared to carry out, if elected, our no.
tions and wishes in regard to the reforms asked
for by the party represented by the I'd of Octo-
Der Convention, and do they endorse and adopt
our sentiments, rs set forth in the resolutions of
that Convention.
These, it strikes us, are the only questions in
whichwe have direct interest at this time and
IN affirmative answer to each of them may be
found in letter Of acceptance in another col
umn, signeo W the gentlemen nominated
Seeing, then, that they agree with us in this
important particular, and well knowing that op-
position to tenn by the opposite party means
opposite measures, it seems to us that to support
the ticket Of the October Convention is a duty
which we owe to ourselves, and as a consequence
we should unite in its support as one man.

of an enlightened people. What would
have been thought of Madison, Clay,
or Benz Franklin, if they bad assumed
to represent the people Of Kentucky, Vir-
ginia, or Pennsylvania, against their will ?
and yet in each of them, as well as else
where, we have men doing this very
thing, whose talents, patriotism and vir-
tue, are further below the standard of
these sases, than is the sickly flicker of
the penny taper below the brilliancy
of the noon days sun. Who are the
men who shall claim places refused by the
people ? If any there be, let them make it
known, SO that we may vote understand
ingy. If this government belongs to the
people, let US know it, and if we are to be
the serfs and slaves of Thaddeus Stevens,
we may as well prepare for the yoke. But
be not dismayed, children of noble sircs,
the ballot-box is our weapon, and let it
speak trumpet tongucd, and hurl from
powerand place all usurpcrs and time

The Great Mass Meeting,

On Tuesday tic grand rally of the friends Of
Congress and the Bureaus came off in this town.
Early in the day the Band arrived from Balti-
more, and the people commenced coming in from
the surrounding country, some in carriages,
some in wagons, some in buggies, some on horse
back and some on football at magnificent dis
tances apart.
After the concourse had gathered to the num-
Der Of something over one hundred, the County
Convention was called to order, and Henry C.
Stump appointed chairman; after which the fol-
lowing gentlemen were declared to be nominated
for the House of Delegates: Henry S. Harlan, Al
fred Garrettson, William Galloway and Jesse
Ililles, Jr.
After the labors of the Convention had been
concluded, the Mass Meeting was called to order,
with Cheyney IToslins in the chair, and the
usua! supply of Vice Presidents and Secretaries
This body, as did the County Convention, met
in the Court House, which, by the by, was not
'densely packed" Addresses were delivered
by Hon. John l.. Thomas, Mr.. Mcpherson of
Pennsylvania, j. j. Stewart, and some other
persons, whose names we did not hear. The
speeches were about the same that are usual with
the congressional admirers. Mr.. Thomas and
Mr.. Stewart delivered the same which they
delivered here two weeks ago, and the same
with which they have been entertaining the ward
meetings, all the fall.
The number of persons present we have heard
estimated at from two hundred to two hundred.
| and fifty, of which number we should iudce
there were about one hundred and fifty persons
who will vote their ticket. THIS would hardly
be considered very large turnout fol- County
Convention and Mass Meeting combined, particu-
larry after the pains and trouble taken to get it
up. However, this for a county meeting and
convention, is very fir representation of the
strength of the party in the county, and there
fore was, we suppose, as large as could have
been expected.

MEETING AT NoRRIsvILLE.-The meeting of the
friends of the President measures of restoration
at Norrisvile, on Saturday, was well attended,
There had been but very limited notice given,
and many persons supposed, on that account,
there would be no meeting at all, but each man
was surprised, on his arrival, to meet so many
of his neighbors. This is the very best evidence
that the spirit of patriotism is alive to the i'm
portance of the coming contest, and is the surest
harbinger of that defeat which will overwhelm
the Radical forces in this county, on the 9Th of
November next. Able speeches were made by
Stevenson Archer and J. T.. G. Hopkins, Esqs.
Everything passed off pleasantly, and old Mar
shall's gives unmstakeabe signs of IA speedy re-
turn to her old-timed Democratic majorties
again.

HARTFORD COUNTY, Oct, 1866.
To Messrs. Farnandis Richardson aud Billinqs-
lea, Committee:
GENTLEMEN We have received from
you, as committee appointed by the
County Convention of the I'd inst, Off
clal notification of our nomination as can
didates for the House of Delegates in the
General Assembly of Maryland
With full appreciation of the honor
and the Importance Of the trust, we accept
it, and will endoavor to Justify the conf
dence Of those who have selected us to
represent them, by an earnest mainton-
ance of their political principles, and
single-hearted devotion to the best inter
ests of the State.
These principles are declared with pre-
clsion in the resolutions adopted by the
Convention. Our acceptance of the nomi-
nation necessarily implies cur adoption of
these sentiments, as otherwise we should
be seeking honors by false pretcnce or
dishonest concealment. But we use the
occasion to say, explicitly, that we "pledge
our active and jealous efforts for the re-
peal of all harsh, vindictive and anti-re-
publican restrictions on the elective fran.
chise,' and for full restoration Of the
right of suffrage to the people of Mary
land.
In republican government, freedom of
OF opinion and of speech is essential. BY
the conflict of opinion truth is elected
by the conflict of parties truth is main
tanned. To punish, by exclusion from
the ballot.box, whatever the dormant
party OF day may pronounce as political
heresy, is to destroy the foundation Of our
system, and to ensure its fall.
We adhere to the Restoration policy of
President johnson, as honest, wise and
patriotic. In the present fearful crisis, it
promises the best and most speedy, if not
the only means of escape from the perls
that surround US, and return to real
pee and true prosperity.
However We may have differed hereto
fore, as to the means of effecting it, we
have had but one aud the same object
the preservation Of the Constitution which
is The perposuity Of the Union. Now, we
have the same common purpose, aud we
agree as to the mode of its accomplish.
ment. We find neither difficulty nor in
consistency in standing up together for
the common good, and working together
with oil our strength for its attainment
