The Democratic Club Of

There was a good meeting of the Coneefva-
democratic Club Of Staunton In their Hall
on last Tuesday night, After the transaction
Of the business of the Club. such AZ appointing
committees, &C., Capt. James Bumgardner. Dr.,
Chairman of the County Committee, reported
what steps he had taken towards perfecting
the organization OF the party throughout the
county, after which, in accordance with the
published announcement, he addressed the
Club in an able speech of more than an hour in
length, which was not only listened to with
much interest, but which excited great enthu-
siasn, and was frequently loudly and rap
turously applauded.
1t was one of the strongest political speeches
we ever heard him deliver.
He drew q strong Indictment against Malone
and his party, and prosecuted them with vim
and vigor and such was the array Of indispa-
table evidence against them, and the argument
so conclusive, that the jury did not hesitate a
moment In the rendition Of guilty Of treach-
cry to the Democratic party and Of treason to
the highest interests Of Virginia."
We hope that Capt. Bumgardner will deliver
this speech in different parts Of the county, for
1t cannot fail to have good effect.
We hope that large and active-working Clubs
will soon be organized in every neighborhood,
and that the admirable plan Of organization
which he's been adopted by our party will be
CARED faithfully and energetically into effect.
We believe that this county will give good
report on the day Of election-such as will re-
dound to her honor. and add additional laurels
to her wreath Of glory. The State expects much
from this good old county and she will not be
disappointed. We predict that Augusta will
be the banner county Of the State. This honor
she should, can. and. we believe, will win. We
hope that every member Of our party will do
his whole duty. The rights and interests OF
the people are At stake, andno true son of Vir-
GINA should falter in the performance Of his
duty in this canvass.
The Great show.
The pictorial posters and descriptive bills 20
prominently displayed announce in an un-
mistakable manner the coming Of the renown-
ed show, which, piloted by the one veritable
''old John Robinson" never fails creating a
sensation wherever II is heralded. We are as
suredit has been more extensively organized
for the present travelling season than upon any
previous year, and that each department has
been SO enlarged as to constitute the whole. in

the busy hum ofpreparing the big showfor the
