Editor Of the Martinsbnry Gazette, in adverng to
the subject Of the proposed anti Jackson meeting at
Richmond, expresses it as his decided opinion that
the populous aad highly respectable county of Berk-
eley is opposed to the Hero's election; and as he
therefore considers that county embraced in the
invitation given in the columns OF this paper, desires
further information with respect to the organization,
definite objects, and probable results of the propos
ed convention. We have heretofore touched upon
this subject, more with view to solicit public enqui
ry and discussions than offer any plan of our own.
we still indulge the hope, that enlightened men in
every part of the Commonwealth, who feel with us
that our country will be dishonnred by the elevation
Of Gen j. will unite in devisiny etfectual me-
,hoa for elicing public sentiment. We say that If
the question can be fairly stated, we believe that
there is majority OF the freehoders Of this CON-
monweath against the Military Chieftan.
Whilst OH this subject, we are pleased to find that
ameetny is strongly recommended to take place in
Fredericksburg on the goth inst. We hope thai
other towns and counties will follow the ex

majority, take up the subjects Shall we slumbe'

The Editor Of the Baltimore Republican has ven

this State, and modestly puts down eight of the
electoral votes to General Jackson ; now as this Is
calculated mainly for effect, at home and abroad, no

the opinion should go abroad that this portion of the
