MEETINGS OF THE PEOPLE

we have received the Proceedings OF about
two hundred OF the Citizens of Scott county,"
friends OF General Andrew Jackson George VIII
cox, Esq. iii the Chair, and j. s. Martin Sec'ryO
They request their Delegates in the General As
sembiy to attend the Legislative Conventional
letter from Harrison county, calculates on nine
tenths OF that county for General Jackson-We
nave the Proceedings of Meeting of the Free
holders OF Prince Ed,cdrd, Samuel Carter in the
Chair, and Branch j. Worsham, and Januilin A.
Berkeley SecretaIies) They "approye of the
vigorous measures adopted by the several counties
Ill Virginia. TO promote the election of General
Jackson, and request their Delegates and Senator
10 attend as their Representatives the Jackson
Meeting to be held this winter in Richmond"
Yet, in the very face of these, and thousand
other indications, the Administration prints still
pretend to rely upon the vote of Vrginia-The
" Marylandcr," paper got up the other day. I'M
der the auspices OF Edward G.. Pinkney by the
same arts with which new packets and new thea.
tres are launched into favor at New York, viz: by
HcdiHS the friends OF the cause TO a banquet OF
good tfings-this worthy candidate for the public
patronage, talks oil triumph and of victory in Vir-
ginia. The New Orleans Argus (nnore excusatIe
Tor ITS mistakes, because less acquainted with the
force oil public seniinent,) oraculary proclaiIns
ut II now asccrtained that Virginia will vote for
Adams. "-We are aware of the decisions which
have been kept up, the tricks by which they hive
been propagated, and the desperate extremitis to
whichthe secret conclaye at Washington il pre-
pared 10 resort. But all will not do I'm thi, Old
Dominion there is no resting place for the soles OF
their feet
All their manGuvres will be defeated. They are
now attempting TO raise the cry of Caucus against
the Proceedings OF the friends Of Jackson at Rich
mond. King Caucus on his throner' cxclsifus
one of the Officials at Washington. "Kinr Ca,-
Gus has mounted his Ebony throne in Richmond y
rc-echoes its affiliated Pressin Lynchburg. These
Editors "have no objection to such a course''-and
yet they edo certainly see great difference be-
tween nomination of Electors by a Legislative
body sent TO Richmond for different purposes, aud
by body deputed for the express purpose" Ave
there is certainly some difference between Del
egates OF the Legislature specially instructed, by
some 200 citizens to attend a Jackson Caucus or
not specially instructed, because their constituents
are aware that they expect them TO attend il, ac-
cOriing TO the old usages Of the Republican party
and therefore no such special instruction il neoes-
sary. There is some little difference between
such body, and an Administration Caucus, deptted
for the express purpose by some 90 or 80 citizens
There Is certainly some little difference between
the Deputies Of large majoritics and those of mea-
gre rnnontes.--The Public will decide which OF
them has the advantage in the comparison.

zens of Giles, friendly to The election of General
