THE MEETING.
"Wo learn fioin all parts of the county,lhat
great satisfaction is oxprcssed by the demo
rals, of the act of tho Standing Committee
in recommending the County Meeting, and
thatlare numbers from almost every town
ship are calculating to attend. This
right. We should rejoico to see every d
mocrat in the county present, that all may
have a voice in the primary arrangements
for the fall election, so that we have union
and harmony, without dictation and with
out monopoly. No better time could have
been mentioned for holding the meeting,
The farmer will then have secured one of
ihe most abundant crops that he has been
blessed with for years, and he will want a
day of pleasure, a HARVEST HOME;"
and in no belter way can it be passed, than
"by meeting and shaking hands with his
brother democrats from other portions of the
county, and in placing his political rights
in the same state of security that he has
done the productions of his farm. We
have no doubt it will be one of tho largest
political meetings ever hold in the county.
The High Piiest and Grand Master of
Somersets denounces the friends of the re
moval as Pirates," thus adopting the old
game of " thief crying thief first;"
for if there ever was a set of " land
pirates," it is that of the Danville faction.
They originally, at the formation of the
county, pirated the upper section of the
county out of their jusit rights, by clandes
tinely and piratically procuring the location
of the courts at Danville, and have ever since
by their piratical conduct, retained them
to tho destruction of tho best interest of tho
, county, and that of tho democratic party.-
And they will hereafter, like pirates who
have obtained wealth dishonestlv, stick at
nothing to retain it from tho rightful owners
Therefore a bitter unrelenting warfare will
be waged by them against nil who shall dare
to step forward as the advocaies of, or tako
any part in, the removal
Tho High Prieot anil Grand Master of
Somersets complains bitterly becuusc he
was not furnished with a copy of the notice
of tho Standing Committee for the county
meeting, for publication simultaneously
willi ourselves. For this he has no grounds
of complaint whatever against cither of tho
two gentlemen who signed the notice. The
facts with regard to the publication are these.
The notice was signed by the two gentle
men whoso names appear,andforwarded by
mail, on Wednesday, to John Rhodes, of
Danville, one of the Committee, by one of
the signers, with a request that he would
sign it, and return It in time for publication
that week. It was kept by him until Sat
urday, when it was returned accompanied
with a refusal to sign. In consequence of
its not boing returned as desired, a copy
was withheld from us until Friday, when
there was no iime for us, or for cither of
the signers, to forward a copy to the other
papers for publication that week, as the Sen
tinel was published the day before, (Thurs
day,) and the Intelligencer on that day
(Friday.) If he has any reason to com
plain of any one, it is of his neighbor, Mr.
Rhodes, for he had the notice in his posses
if on, ttj7i the names of the two other
members of the committee attached, two
days previous to the publication of the In
lelligcner, and could have signed it and
given him a copy had he felt so disposed.
lint Here lies not the secret ol Ins chagrin.
He fears the sceptre is departing from Ju-
d;ih. He was not consulted as to the pro-
propriety of holding the meeting either as
to time or place. A majority of the Stand
ing Committee had complied with the re
quest of Hrtvcral respectable democrats to
notify a meeting at JJloomsburg, without
first asking his permission. This was te
ballion not to be forgiven. This was nt-
ratism, in his estimation, of the blackest
die. The interest and convenience of the
Democratic party, and not his and that of
the borough of Danville, had been taken in
to consideration, and he and his clan, in
considlalion, determined to prevent the
holding the meeting if possible. Hence the
retention of the notice, and the nfusal to
sign. In this scheme, thanks to the inde
pendence and firmness of a majority of the
Committee, they havo been defeated, and
the meeting will be held at the most conven
ient place for the assembling of the whole
democracy of tho county. And when as
sembled, they will adopt proceedings, not
to gratify the rage of a few pirates in Dan
ville, to procure the charter of a bank to be
located in that place; but they will bo "Au-ti-Bank,""Anti-Piratc,"and
Anti-Dictation,
and Anti-Selfish Policy, which has hereto
fore governed the exclusives of that borough.
And should the editor of the Intelligencer
come in for a share of their censure, he will
have the consolation of reflecting, that it
will he justly merited, for the abuse tint
himself and others, have heaped upon the
democracy of the county for expressing
their indignation at the late attempts to dl
vido tho county to impov; upon the coun
ty a worthless shaving shop, and their un
principled opposition to tho appointment of
any man to office who would not subject him
self to their selfish policy, and be a tool for
their aggrandizement.
Wecan assure the editor of the Intelligen
cer, that so far as we can learn, it is the de
'termination of the democracy of the county
to adopt such proceedings at the proposed
county meeting, as shall tend to the best in
terest of the party, and that of tho county
generally, and all his ravings and denunci
ations will not prevent it. The schoolmas
tcr is abroad, and dictation and anathemas
will not detoi them from taking tho man
agement of their own aflairs into their own
hands. Tho deceptive and selfish policy
of a few would be dictators has become too
well understood throughout the county to be
any longer wielded with success. Demo
crats havo become satisfied that they can be
Democrats and yot not follow in the wak
of the Prothonotary, or tho would bo Sena
tor, or be subject to the beck and nod of
the private contractors, and they havo tho
good of tho Dpmocralic party too much at
heart to allow it to bo rent asunder and th
county dastroyed, to advance the personal
interest of a few,or to gratify private malice,
OnThusday & Fiiday of last week there
was a quite a run upon tho Now York ci
ty Bank for specie in cousequenco of their
exporting largo quantities to England.
Much fears were apprehended that if they
did not immediately stop the 'exportation of
specie, that ttc should have another sus
pension,
Now we are satisfied that tho demoerals
who requested the call, and at least one, if
not not both, of the Comrnitleo who signed
it, did not intend it exclusively for piratical
use, but as a general notice to the democrats
of the county. Danville Intelligencer.
We too, believe that the notice was not
intended by tho commilteo " exclusively for
piratical use," hut as a " general notice to
the democrats of the county," and for that
reason tho place of holding tho meeting was
IJloomsburg instead of Danville and for
that reason was the signature of one of the
committee withheld. If tho meeting had
been called in' Danville, where it could havo
been made use of " exclusively for piratical
use," think you tho name of John Rhodes
would have been wanting, and would thero
have been any delay in the publication of
the notice in tho Danville Intelligencer I
Not a moment. It was only tho fear of hav
ing a fair expression of the democracy of
tho county, that has brought down the ire
of the Prothonotary upon the heads of the
Standing Committee, and induced him to
denounce the old democrats who signed the
request for the call, as " slool and flying
pigeon," and " hired pirates," and " im
ported imposters." This system of gene
oral denunciation is no new game with him,
and if he has heretofore profited by his bil
lingsgate abuse, he may rest assured it will
no longer have the desired effect, as the ob
jeet is now ooi apparent. His envenomed
shafts will fall harmless at the feet of those
for whom they are intended, and rebound
back upon his own head, and execute mer
ited and speedyjustico.
We aro indebted to the Keystone for the
synopsis of tho new Election Law which
this week publish. To do this wo have
been compelled to exclude our usual miscel
lany. But all will be satisfied with the
change willi the exception of our female
readers; who must occasionally give way,
as in duty bound, to tho greater advantages
vhich their husbands and brothers will ob
tain from a general knowledge of this law.
Another Exrlaordinary production of
the Season. Mr. Philip Eyer, of tins
town, has left with us. a BUNCH of OATS
containing 8 large sized stalks, evidently
the production of I seed. As the iieads
had not come to' maturity, we cannot of
course tell how many grains it wbuld have
had were it full grown, but we counted over
a hundred grains each in several of them,
must therefore havo produced a yield
of some thousands. This, like the wheat
stalk, was the production of democratic
grouud.
Scurrility is the corruption of wit, as
knavery is ot wisdom.
