The Jeffersonian

The Jeffersonian.
THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1858.

The Democracy of this county held in Court week a grand Democratic rally in the Court House, when they succeeded in getting it about two thirds filled, notwithstanding the town was filled with persons attending Court, and that the Delegates to conduct the Delegate election were to be elected, and the County Democratic Committee was to be appointed, &c., &c.

In reading over their resolutions which received some eight or ten votes, and none against, we discover that Gov. Packer has not received honorable notice, nor indeed no notice at all. The question naturally arises, what caused the Governor to be thus slighted? And on reflection we remember that the Gov. had honesty and patriotism sufficiently developed to enable him to oppose the late action of "Pennsylvania's favorite son," and his Slave driving minions in making Kansas a Slave State. He, therefore, has justly merited this silent rebuke at the hands of the Banner county of the faithful, slave state making Democracy, and must consequently burn under the scorching contempt of the indignant patriotism of the office seeking portion of little Democratic Monroe.

Well we suppose that there is but little use of talking, for this contempt must be sufficient to seal his certain doom; but we cannot refrain from remarking that this seems to us to be the "most unkindest cut of all," to punish a man so severely for being true to the doctrine of the Democracy of 1856, which elected Buchanan, and on the strength of which you elected Mr. Packer to the governorship of this State last fall,

Now, Mr. Democrat, this is what we call revivification; it is the criminal meting out justice to the Court, instead of the Court meting out justice to the criminal "Now don't you perceive." But we, notwithstanding all this, believe that Gov. Packer has still a goodly number of friends in this county, even in the Democratic party, who will rally around and fully sustain him in his truly consistent and patriotic course. The Gov. has probably lost a number of loaf and fish political friends, but in their stead he has gained friends from all parties who admire consistency, honesty and patriotism.
