GOOD MEETING.

GOOD MEETING
a large concourse of people was i'll

County Convention and mass meet
ing of the Democratic party. EXctr.
sion trains from all directions brought
crowds of people, anxious for the sue
cess Of the party.

mittee, called the meeting to order
and nominated John II. Paynter Esq.
for Chairman, and the usual number
of Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
Mr.. Paynter, opened the meeting
with n short,pithy address, arraigning
the Republican party for its many
acts of corruption and extravaganza,
and its many violations of the cCn-
stitution and laws. He spoke of the ex-
celleht platform and candidates OF
the Democratic party and its glorious
record, and predicted certain victory
in the County and State.
He then introduced Senator Sauls-
bury, who for nearly an hour dis
cusscd the issues ofthe day in man
ier calculated to carry conviction 10
the minds of all. After bcstowing
some attention to the question OF
mixed schools, which would inevita-
bly, follow the advent into power OF

and the complete change in cur
State laws which they would be cer-
tain to make, he spoke at length Of
the Republican record in the coun-
ellis Of the nation.
In reference to the tariff question
he called attention to the insincere
profession of that party in pretend
ing to pass laws for the relief OF the
