The Democratic Barbecue at this place
on Saturday last was splendid affair
large, spirited, enthusiastic. Every body
was disappointed--the democrats were re-


joiced-the coons were sad, detected. 1t

BY the appointment Of JONATHAN EADs,
Esq. as President, and several other gen.

the objects Of the meeting, went into his
tory Of the two parties, and touched upon
some Of the measures which always have
