Fiftssn Loyaiists in Council!

Convention, ana effecting more
organization OF the party
preparatory to the political campaign
lust opening. Fifteen ardent. though
discouraged. loyaiists were in attend
ance, aud their heightened, eolemn
vsages betokened more OF the feelings
Of men attending a funeral (Which
one of the officers appropriately de |
sienated the gathering.) than ct "a jnhi' !
liant political Con vention. When tie
mover of the officers appropriate to-
an organization first arose, his doletui
tone and lugubrious countensnce,
seemed to he in sympathy with the
feelings Of the other fourteen, and they
were all ready to join monrnfully in
chanting those solem words:
clark from the tomb doleiul sou d.
My ears attend the cry:"-
or negro love and III got bonds.
We Rsdicsls must ole.
Great God! is this our cer,sin DOOM
To fill offices no mo'e.
Will copperhesds now take our room
And poor mems rights secure!
We certainly deeply eympathzed
with the efforts of the few radicals in
this county, who would like to make
a show OF an organization. but who
cannot get followers enough to even
torn q Central Committee, and have
appointed thereon some good Demo.

prised to find their names taken such
unauthorized liberty with, and will
undoubtedly repudate the unsought
honor(.) The meeting was presided
over by DR.. r. Nj. Welman, who was
elected chairman on the motion Of
Rev. N. L. Boring. His long expe-
rience as Surgeon in the army. and
