Democratic Campaign Song.
BY THE BARD OF AppoQuINIMINK
Tune, Old Dan Tucker.

Come, Democrats, both great and SMALL
And try what we can do this fall
We have two coursers ON the track
That go ahead but never 60 back.
CHoRus-Get out the way or get run over,
We are the boys that met at Dover.
There's farmer John, he's honest and true,
And Jimmy Williams, ditto too,
Old chickens of the Blue Hen stock
That never finch nor never balk.
CHoRUs-Get out the way, etc.
The Radicals are in a muss,
And soon will have mighty fuss,
They've eat so much wool they've got the
phthisic
And cry 'Oh, Jump, bring out your physc."
CHoRus-Get out the way, etc.
But DR.. Jump, he cannot cure,
Says he, "the disease is chronic, sure,
And thinks they all had better remember
Cochran and Williams in November.
So, Democrats, close up the ranks
And watch the enemies many pranks,
And in November you will find
The Jumping party's jumped behind.
CHsRus-Gst out the way, etc.

This was the cry of the Radicals before
the election. Now that the " cruel war
is over" however, and, Notwithstanding
the " colored troops fought nobly" the
Democrats gained the battle, they Ohe
Republicans) have found out that the
fight was /" only on local matters " and
doesn't indicate, in any degree, how it
will be next fall. oh, no it don't indi-
cate anything, of course, but when the
third day of November comes we will see
what is indicated by this election. A
change from $50 majority one way to a

picious about the way things will &C

Two years ago Judge Poland was elect
ed Representative to Congress from the
Second District ofVermont by majority
of 1854 votes. On Tuesday. it is now
believed, he was defeated in his attempt
to obtain a reelection. We hope that
further reports will confirm the earlier
ones, for Judge Poland has been already
too long in Congress, and has already
done too much mischief there There is
law, conceived aud passed by him last
winter, which bears the somewhat obnox-
ious title of "Poland's Gag law" We
do not know that he owes his late discom-
future to that fact, but we believe, that as
he wrought ST. earnestly for defeat in at
tempting to muzzle the press, he has got
his reward in the contemptuous repudia-
tion of his constestants. There was never
more iniquitous act placed upon the
statute books Of the nation than Poland s
Gag law, and every decent man in the
country, jealous to maintain liberty of
speech and freedom of the printing press,
will rejoice to learn that the author of such
an infamous act shall hereafter be debarrcd
from opportunity to devise and execute
other evil legislation IN. Y. World.

The County Convention.

The Democratic County Convention will
assemble in the Court House at New Cas-
tie to-day for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the Office Of Levy Court and
both houses of the State Legislature, and
to tranact such other business pertaining
to the party politics of this county as shall
come before it.
There will, doubtless, be questions of
great importance to the interests of the
party brought before this meeting, among
which will stand prominent the alteration
of the rules of the party to permit of the
selection of onr candidates for the Legis-
lature and Levy Court by the direct vote
of the people of the different hundreds in
stead of by delegates chosen to conven-
tion for the purpose as has been the Gus
tenn heretofore. ..-
Desiring to see the merits and demerits
of this vsxed question thoroughly discuss
ed before the assembling Of the conven-
ton, we, last summer, extended an invi-
tation to all who take an interest in such
matters to give expression to their views,
en- both sides of the question, through our
columns. Our object was to have the matter
brought fairly before the people that they
might understand it and that the question
might be settled, if possible, before the as
sembling Of the convention. Our invitation
was accepted and several letters from diff.
ferent parties. chiefly from Messrs. VIM.
Dean and Samuel Townsend, appeared il
our columns, the former opposing and the
latter strongly advocating the proposed
change as spoken Of above.
There seems to be very strong feeling
in the county in favor of the ballot system
1t is, doubtless, the best, if not the only
way to settle the disputes that have arisel
in some of the Hundreds in reference t.
the choice of delegates. 1t is, perhaps
after all, the fairest manner in which t
select the candidates, for then the pcopl
who will be called upon to vote for tn
candidates at the election will have a fai
opportunity given them to express thei
voice in the selection of those candidates
But whether it be decided to nominal
by convention, as heretofore, or to thro'
the nominations back to the hundreds an
let the people select their candidates fc
themselves, we sincerely hope that no il
feeling will be permitted to disturb th
harmony that should exist in our ranks
The manner of the selection of the cand
dates is q matter of but small importane
compared with the success of the prime
pies of good government as avowed BY tt
Democratic party. Our prospects for SUI
cess are more brilliant at the present tin
than they have been before for long tim
All the candidates thus far chosen by ii
Democrats are men Of the strictest inte,
rity and of superior ability and capaci
for the Offices for which they are nomina
ed. and nothing but harmony and sarne
working is required at the hands of IL
Democracy to secure their triumpha
election in November next.
