10 the jackson meeting. a correspondent gives
us The following account of this meeting:
yesterday was the day appointed for the ,nssi
ing, being our county court day. Al sunrise il
commenced raining slightly and continued show.
eI until eleven o'clock, when the rain set in with
great violence and continued all day without anv
inierD,Ission. Under all these disadv ntsse ous
circumstances, our meeting quite large and
respectable; il was gratifying to see old ren who
could not be expected ioyxpose themselves to the
inclemency OF the weather, travelling, msny nj
them from the extreme ends OF lhe county, TO at
tend this meeting. However, had ii proved a fair
day, meeting would have been much Isroer
but we are satisfied; for after the business of the
meeting was Finished and some Of the members
had leis The courthouse for the purpose of getting
their dinuefs, count proposed, and we as
certsined that there were Certainly 70 freehoIIss
remaining in the courthouse, favorable 10 the elecs
ton Of Gen. Jackson. This is doing well in
small county voting only 300, on such day when
we recolleci that the Adams party, on a much
more favorable day, could not muster more than
two Dozen"
