EDITOR STARK Co. DEMOCRAT The RaIs
have been in q constant ferment since they
practically broke up the Democratic Ratif-
cation Meeting at this place. The 'cMoN1roR
MAN" had enough of the impulses of order
and decency to condemn, or fuss, the outra-
geous proceedings of his party at that
Meeting.
But the leading spirits of the disorder at
the Meeting are the leading spirits of the
mendacious party of Jscobins in this locali-
ty. They cracked their whip over ''GARRI-
son, and he, Obedient to the demands of
his masters, changed front.
After saying the Republicans were guilty
of the disgraceful interruptions, condemninR
the same, he now says that, Democrats we're
the ones who interrupted the Meeting, and
exonorates the rogues he had pointedly de-
nOunced at first.
'AIr. MONITOR" says that J. w. McCord,
Esq, staunch Democrat, interrupted the
meeting he was in sympathy with. 'cMr.
MONITOR" further instances John Quinn as
man who caused the disturbance Quinn is
Democrat, and the logic is so transparent
ly false that would torture anything he would
say or do into q means of breaking up q
Meeting, the success of which he was so
closely identified with.
Mr.. Monitor Man, to sustain himself, in
stances as witness against Quinn, a defunct
Provost Marshal, relct of the military and
drum head Court Marshal epoch with the
smell of Judge Jeffries on his garments, and
the hangman's fame upon his brow.
This a-purpose-specimen
of blood, says that John Quinn says he sold
S25 of liquor to cause the disturbance at the
Meeting. Who drank the whiskyi ''Mr.
MONITOR Is it rational to suppose that
Quinn sold liquor and Democrats drank it to
create confusion and defeat one OF their own
meetingsi Such sophistry is too
contemplate, ssibut is proberly up to- the
standard of Jacobin logic.
If Mr. Quinn did sell so much whisky, it
was not sold for the purpose above stated,
but drank by Republican rowdies for that
purpose, and this is the sequel of the ar
rangement
Hurrah for the SOBER and Decency party
Drinking $25 worthof whisky to get up
courage to mob Democratic Meeting. J. Q.
A DEMOCRATIC NHGRo MOBBED.-NEw
ORLEANS, August 3.-A negro named Will
lam Robins has been making Democratic
speeches in this city for some weeks past
Several attempts have been made upon his
life, and on Saturday night crowd follow
ed him and tried to drag him from the street
car, in which he took refuge. He was ar
rested on a charge of exciting q riot and re-
leased on bail. Yesterday another attack
with slung-shots was made on him. This
morning, on appearing before the Recorder,
it was found that the original charge of car
Tying concealed weapons was substituted,
bit was discharged by the Recorder. On
being released Robbins life was again
threatened by the negroes, but he was escor-
ted by his friends to the rooms of the Con-
stitutiOn Club, on Canal street The streets
in the neighbOrhOOd were soon filed with q
crowd and the excitement increased. Gov.
Yarmouth appeared and made q short but
effective speech, telling the negroes that they
should rather protect Robins In the public
expression of his opinions than seek to de-
prive him of that right. He advised them to
disperse and go home, which they did.
The SrAHPKDE FROM rHK REPUBLICAN
sI,a p4o IL
an party is beginning in downright earnest.
II is just starting, bnt it will go with rush
after while. A few days ago the Democ-
racy of Mann County held a convention at
Troy to elect twenty-eight delegates to rep
resent the Democracy of that county in the
Congressional Convention to be held on the
sOth at Urbana. ]. T. Janvier, John P.
Williamson and Charles Morris, Esqrs, all
of Troy, and heretofore influential members
of the Republican party, addressed the con-
vention, espousing the cause of Democracy,
Seymour and Blair. The leading Republi-
cans in one place coming out from the foul
party That, indeed, is good news.
JOHN QUISTS, COpperhead doggery keep
er, declared to Captain Oliver, boastingly,
that he had furnished S25 worth of whis-
| Ky to certain parties, who were chosen and
selected for the purpose of creating disturb
snce" at the Democratic ratihcation.--ALII.
ANcA MONITOR
John Quin is a worthy man and Demo
crAt, and would help along a Democratic
meeting rather than do anything to disturb
it, or any other meeting. Lying is . most
difficult business for the most ingenious.
