DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
The proceedings of al democratic meet-
ing, held in the city of |Philadelphia, will
be found in this day’s paper. We were
vauntingly told a few days since, that
THOMAS LEIPER, JOHN LISLE, &
others, heretofore uniform democrats, had
abandoned the good vld cause, and were
in favor of the fedral ‘candidate, Mr.
Gregg. 1t will be seen by reference to
the proceedings of the meeting. that Mr.
LEIPER was the chairman, and not only
wild he vote for Mr. Shulze, but old ashe
is (near 90) he is among the most active
in promoting the election of that genties
man, We have authority from Mr. Lisle
and all other of the gentlemen named,
residing in Philadelphia, as being opposed
to the election of Me. Shulze, to slate,
that the story of ‘¢ their tergiversation is
false, and witiiout a shadow of founda-

The democratic meeting held in Phila-
delphia last week, was the largest ever
held there of a similarkind. A complete
amalgamation of the old democratic party
has been the result. We heartily rejoice
at this event. Old-school men, Binuites,

by the hand, and present a phalanx im-

déath blow to federal hopes. Such unan-
imity never before prevailed ia the Demo-
cratic ranks ; and we assert with confi-
dence, on information derived from the
best authority, that Mr. Shulze will have
a large majority in the city and county of

LANCASTER CIRCULAR.
We present to our readers, in a subse-

They have adopted Audrew Gregy as their
candidate. We now call upon the demo-
cratic party to determine, by their votes,
whether democracy shall be forever an.

doubt Andrew Gregg will exert every
nerve to root out every thing like repub-

It was gratifying to observe, that
almost all the old, influential, and ac-

party, atiended. Democrats, who
have not acted together for years,
were found in harmonious union—all

would suppose every means of inform-
ation was cut off, that can be imposed
