THs CAMP MEETING The Washington Grove
Comp Meeting, near Gaithersburg, adjourned
on Tuesday morning last, after an interesting
meeting of near two weeks. The uecting was
prolonged inrtlior than AT first anticipated, ow-
ing TO tho extremely inclement weather of the
first week. The last few days, however, wore
brilliant the sun beamed forth ia all his bean
", cheering the hearts of all, and making the
woods vocal with hymns ofpraso Tho ecr-
vices were constant, morning, noon and night
On Sunday The great point Of attraction was a
sermon preached by Rev Dr. Guard, from
Mat. rs ch. 3lst 10 SD verses, and which
commanded the attention of all On the morn
ing of that day people came to the grounds
from every direction and in every imaginable
kind of vehicle. Tho crowd ON the ground
hoing yariously estimated al from Eve TO eight
thousand persons.
The services were continued ON Monday aud
were very interesting. Late 10 the afternoon
there were number ofprayor and devotional
meetings held, among them one largely attcn-
dsd at the tent of tho " NJ. G. a. 4 number
Of penitcnts went forward, and quite a NUM-
Der of conversions took place. These young
gentlemen were untiring il their cxertions to
do good, and ably seconded tho efforts of the
many eloquent and able clcrgymen who i'd
dressed the people from the stapd. This meet
ing continued all night, and there was but lit
tie sleep on the ground. Il is said that the
number Of conversions during the entire meet
ing will approximate hundred.
On Tuesday morning all was hustle and pre-
paration in getting ready for departure to
their quiet homes, oftae vast throng which
had assembled to worship God in the grove
Great credit is unqucstionably due-aud
will be accorded by ALTO those who had the
management Of the grounds aud the arrange
ment of'oYerything connected with the success
full prosecution Of the meeting. Not one scene
of disorder cfanykind is reported as having
occurred in that large crowd, and this fact
stands forth 10 the lasting credit Of the Mary
land people, and We doubt i it's parallel eau
be found anywhere.

Montgomery county tie importance Of attend
ing the Primary Meetings 10 be held in the "a
rious Districts of the couniy, aud 5ei We
should regard ourselves as deTelict ia duty 10
them, If We did not There are so many per-
sons who sccm 20 think that tie public inter
ests win be attended 10 without them that they
neglect an imperative duty OF attending them
solves, and leave these matters IN the hands of
others, and to be managed ia their own way
This is not as it should DO. Tho primaFv
Meetings are intended TO reflect the sentiments
of the people, and this surely cnnnot be done
if tho majority stay away. II is this very APP
athy on the part Of many that hus brought the
Primary Meetings into dsreputc, and eGaeed
their action to be ccnsurcd. These meetings
may be regarded AS purely Democratic Tho
people have assembled in their sovereign capa-
city to do their own business, and this is the
very reason why all slouId attend, so as to
give fair expression 10 The continents OF tue
people. When they have done this, and ap-
Io'htcu sneit uoicSHtcs, thcy nave discouraged
their duty TO themselves, and left II to their
delegates TO carry out their wishes With this
view Of the subject-and it is the correct one
lit is easy to see how the few cen control the
many aud thcmany control the fow, and have
all things done according to their own wishes
The Primary Meetings thus fully attended ab-
solutcly reflects the will OF tho people, aud
prevents that dissatisfaction which always ari-
SEES when these arc but slinlly attended.
Lot us urge upon all not only the propriety
but the duty of attending tho Primary Meet
ings on Tomorrow, saturday, August sOth, J
and they will afterwards have no reason
to complain.
