A Scheme to Dlsicre the Democratic
Party..
As we are still without the proceilings- of the'
/, Wednesday evening Meeting" held in this place,
we are obliged to defer gur expected comments.•
There is however, one feature, of which we can
speak, and we feel that by neglecting it longer,
we should be remiss in our duty as defenders of
the Democratic party; and' ut worthy of cenfidence
if u e failed to expose it promptly and thoroughly.
We allude to the appointment of a ‘' COUNTY
CENTRAL COMMITTEE," headed by Muj PioT
lett to appoi it Committees in the different town
e'tip•t with power and authority to call meetings.
This contains the who'.e sum and substance of this
famous meeting. It is the tnocse for which the
mountain was so long in labor. The remainder of
the proceedings was but the chow, while the ap
pointment of this Committee is pregnant with the
momentous results the movers and originators of
the meeting are so anxious to bring abilut. Ozy- /I
is no more nor lea th in the incipient movement, to
wards air organize/inn distinct from, cued opposed to,
the REGULAR DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF TINE
COUNTY.
Are the democracy of Bradford awake to-their
danger? Are they fully aware ffiat the discontent
ed, ambitions and unprincipled men Who have for
years sought to divide and defeat the party of the
bounty—men who have openly opposed its, nomi
nations, or sought by specious Curial pretexts to
bring-the mem result about—are now banded to
gether by a commor. want of principle. by eirvy,
and by ambition, to make one more bold and dar
ing attempt at disor,zanization? Are they aware
that a few men, " uho would rather rule in hell
than serve in hearea," not content with the boun
tiful share of favors they have enjoyed, and discon•
tented with their position are ready to dissever the
party, to attain their own curls ? Are • they aware
that in this mad and reckless scheme, Whig ktd•
trs are counselled and advised That part and par.
eehof the undertaking, a paper is soou to am ear
here, under the duet-lion of, and mostly if iglu!
wholly owned by Christopher L. Ward, whose pre
tensions to•Dernyeracy are so flirity and transpa
rent as to be simply riiliciaions. What neat-bout,
seal has he for the- Demheratic party, be has solcsig
noinbatted, that he will invest his money in news.
papers to uphold its integrity or principles ! That
this paper is encouraged and will be supported, if
necessary, by men abroad, who hate the Democ
racy of Bradford with a perledt haired. and whose
dearest joy, would be to see it torn -by divisions
and heart-burnirfir 1. These thinzs should be more
fully known—and we shall fearlessly expose them.
The knife is at tlietliroat of the Democracy of
Rtadfoid, and unless that Democracy, shake off the
desperadoes as the dew drops from the lion's mane,
defeat and disaster await us. i f such be not the
fact why this separate County Committee I The
regular demoeratic Standing Committee was ap.
pointed as usual at the last September Convention,
and has discharged - its duties faithfully and with
cmtire s.ltisfaction. There is no complaint of the
object or action of that Committee which for twen
ty years has been appointed annually to call Con
ventions and appoint Committees of Vigilance for
this county. .
if men separate themspic•es from the Derneemt
le party, and set up a new organization in open
defience of its •Fustoms, time-honored and revered;
we may deplore, 'while we cannot help it. But
we cannot see the consistency of a meeting called
to sustain " Regular Nominations" taking the inia.
tory in breaking down an] setting at defiance all
that it professes to held dear. We do not believe
this-project will succeed. It certainly will not if
the Demooracy-athe noble, lion-hearted, true De•
mocracy—of Bnitlterd are trite to themselves and
their principles. It is but a few months since they
set the seal of condemnation upon the intiig,nes
and machinations of the saute men- who-are now
foremost in this plot. This new attempt to raise
up a party under the dark banner of slavery- propa
gandism, to aid the failing fortunes of James- Bu•
(+bonen, will meet a like reception. We Lave no
fears-for the result. The tried Demooracy of Brad
ford, are as. firm as-our everlasting hills. They ai'
approached' in•vain by the mercenary. Consistent
in the support.of their principles, they are not to be
-led astray by any 'wry and laise lights.
We shall not let this matter rest. The Democ
racy shall not bo betrayed nor their .confidence
abused, - by any fault of ours. We have battled
too - zealously for our triumph here—we have too
deep and heartfelt feelings for its future success:
and perinattancy—to silently-stand by aad see it
struok clown by the parricidial hands of those who
owe-their all to iti organization, and who should be
the last to menace it with danger,
We have every. reason to believe that-the names
of tnen were ruled in this meeting,-who will Tepu--
diate its action—los we recognized some whom ,
we have known.to be ever true and consistent in
their amuse, and second to none-in lure.- of

agaiewt the appointment of James Cameron as Su

end in a system of plunder, refused for a time to act

squandered, and when he was compelft'd to leave it,
by the forts of public opinion, whicli could be no

a slight opposition offered-by one of the membere d

oppose the North Branch with all his energy, and

my inference, of a want of harmony before the
close of the see:ilea" which. will jeopaidize the
North Branch Canal: acid the , appropriation bills
very
.materially. . .
The friends of the Canal have a most efficient
Represernatice in Mr. Stock well ; Without wthring,
air meaning to dispa ~ r r the ell its' of any other'
member, or any friend of t t nprorement, it is
but simple justice to Mr. Stock II to say that his
influence is at least equal to other man in the
Igor's. Having the advantage of one ye,ar's expe
rience, an extensive acquaintance among members
.and a high chatacter for candor and integrity; all ,
!milted to untiring industry, he can and will suc
ceed with a measure where" troche& of offiers .
,might fail. In the Senate too t if the bill'eveerintsr

Mr. Guernsey,.who has shoriinliniself on several
