Gronerrows Democratic AssoctaTION— Reon anization—Speech of General Cameros— he throws cold water on the Flag Rawsung ant Pole Dedications in the District—Just 20 much Wasted.—The Democrats of Georgetown met last evening in Forrest Hall, and reorgan- ized the eld Democratic Association under the mame of the “Georgetown Democratic and Conservative Association.” The meeting was galled to order by Esau Pickrell, Mr. J. J. Kane acting as secretary. Qn motion of Mr. Josep! Simms, Messrs. R. A. Sheckels, J Dent, and W. A. King were appointed a com- mutwe to Tevise the constitution of the old asso- ciation for the benefit of the proposed organiza- tion. While the committee were absent, General Hogh Cam+ron was called upon and addressed the meeting. He was glad to meet the Demo- crats of Georgetown and to see that they were sorarnest im the cause. Our fathers om the revolution struggled to shake off the British yoke, while we of to-day are smmilarly strag. Eling to be freed from the African yoke. The Speaker then drew a forcibie eloquent parallel between the issues fonght for iu the days ot 76 and those tor which the Demo- cracy are now contending. If he could be allowed to style the Radical party by tbetr proper name, he would call them an infamous, hypocritical, and Jacobimeal set. He bad wit- bessed a grat many political gatherings in the District, such as fag raisings, pole dedication-, Ac.. which would be a credit to amy State; but be could not resist the conviction teat the efforts of the Democracy in the District of Columbia could be more usefully directed. A great deal of money had been spent in the Di trict in flags and poler, which amounted t nothing: whereas that same money, at in the purchase of campaign documents for dis- tribution ia the 's, Would bean inestimable benefit to the prospects of Seymour and Minir. He himself was engaged in sending off doo ments, and had during that day sent off ten thousand. and every mail som the States bronght letters © for more documents. He urged every one to take this into considera. tion, and direct their efforts towards procuring a Democratic yore in the States. The Radical Were Working that way, 95 they knew it was the most beneficial. The speaker thanked the audience for their attention, and retired. The Committee then reporisd a © a. —_— tion for the government of the Association, which was adopted. It is similar to those governing similar pohtical organizations.
