The Democratic Meeting, on Thursday
evening, at Fair View, formerly Fox Chase,
was sorry affair. Considerable pains had
been taken to drum up the faithful. The
kimble Cornet Band were in attendance,
and their excellent music never fails to at
tract crowd. 1t was also reported that
the candidates had contributed fifty dollars
to pay the band and supply the inspiring
spirit Of Democracy for the occasion
But alas! elbow oft is human foresight all
in vain." Exclusive of the band, there
were fifty persons present. Twenty-Five of
whom, including one negro, were Demo-
Gratis; twelve half grown boys of both par
ties, and the balance Republican voters.
For speakers they had Mr.. Mccullough,
candidate for States Attorney, who held
the audience spell-bound for nearly ten
minutes. His remarks were not understood
OF not recognized as orthodox, for they
were not applauded; and Mr.. Reynolds,
from Newark, another ten minute orator,
whose speech was warmly applauded, be-
cause it was better understood-for they
had heard the like before. 1t consisted
chiefly of falsehood and Misrepresentation,
abuse of negroes and SANDER of Mr.. Tome.
1t was amusing to hear q sharper from
Delaware finding fault with Tones rates
VI IHIeItSt, lOF IL Is we'll klOWN CndC since
Judge Gilpin's charge to the jury in well
known case, such men as Mr.. Reynolds
have to cross the line into Maryland to
invest at their favorite rates, from fifteen
to twenty-five per cent, or still higher, were
it not for the more moderate rates of Mr..
Tome. What an oppressor is Tome! If it
was not for him the Delaware shavers could
extort without limit. Down with Tome,
and leave the Maryland borrower to the
tender mercies of the Delaware shylocks,
whose pound of flesh can no longer be
expected in their own State!
The speaking over, the farce was con-
cluded by taking up a collection to pay the
Band; and now, Mr.. Editor, let me wills
per in your ear the amount they paid-but
don't you tell-they actually paid the band
$1,000 in clear cash, SO they did! Isn't
music riz! or is Democracy down? Yes,
down in the mouth, as these ten minute
speakers proved. Down in spirit, as this
miserable attempt of a meeting proved,
and sadly down in funds, as this beggarly
pttance to the band proved. The best
use that can be made of the $1,000 is to
bury the souless carcass of the Democratic
party out of sight, since it has outlived its
time of usefulness. SPECTATOR.

The Destitute.

The Michigan State Relief Committee
in their appeal to the people of the United
States dated October Oath, say:-We need
instant and plentiful aid. From 12.0 600 to
Il. 600 people at least in the State of Mich
igan have lost their homes food clothing
crops horses and cattle. On the night of
the Chicago fire 1000 people on the east
shore of Lake Michigan and 5000 to 5000
on the west shore of Lake Huron were re-
duccd to almost absolute restitution. With
in two or three weeks other small villages
and settlements have been blotted out. The
number of individual farm houses, barns
and frontier dwellings which have been
destroyed by the all prevailing fires cannot
from want of information, be accurately
calculated. The fires are still burning, and
new ones springing up. A long, hard,
cold winter is approaching. A large num-
Der of these people are accessible only by
water, and navigation will soon be closed.
Scarcely month, or six weeks at most,
remains in which to feed, clothe and shell
ter them for the winter season, which ex-
tends far into the spring. They must be
helped now, or they will perish. They
will need too, in the early spring, seeds and
implements for harvest next year. The
greater portion of them must commence
life entirely anew and without preparation
at the beginning of the winter
"Their isolation from the centres of
commerce and means of communication
makes the problem of relief more difficult
and urgent. The people of Michigan have
not only responded to the appeals which
this misery has made to their sympathy
and generosity, but they are sorely Grip
pied indirectly in their business by the
~. u 1, ~
given to sufferers by that calamity, before
they were aware of the demands which
would be made upon them at home
Many of them. too have lost their resour-
ces by fires which occurred in this State.
In their name, on behalf of victims already
known and many whom we fear are yet
unknown, we ask prompt and efficient aid
from our benevolent fellow citizens every
where. Money and supplies may be sent
directly to the Michigan Relief Committee,
at Detroit or Grand Rapids"
