We publish with great cbeeriulness the Pro
ceedings OF the Meeting a, Frederic k. burg on Sa
tu.tay last - The very first step appears to be
wrong. Int jackson .Neetmgr" -rhe came

citizens :. who oPposed 10 The cleetiosi of Gen
Andrew Jack-on"-.iE the resolutions me.en5
the very same idea. Ii solely OF position to tn.
election oil Gen. Andrew Jackson which tbes. res

have been more becoming To have presented a,

We agree most cordially with the Meeting in
The d. which they express OF having the vote OF
the People OF Virginia - distinctly aud efficiently
given at he approaching presidential election. -
1t the people desire 10 change their mode OF noni
mating Electors; If they prefer 10 meet In their
countIe., in Electoral Districts snd appoint
special Deputies 10 meet at Richmond on any
where else, Tor the purpose of lo.nng ticket; or
ii they would have The members OF The Legislature
to nominate ticket, and TO instruct them, when
Ihsy likely depart from the wishes of then
Constituents they have right to adopt any mode
which IL most satisfactory 10 the people Intensely es
W. confess, how ever hat Al somewhat surpris
ed at some OF the objections sken by the Meeting 10
the old usases o: domination. They nave not told
US, that the next Legislature Is likely TO nominate
ticket favorable to Gen. Jackson and, therefore
then own wishes must be represented in some
other way. TuIs would cert siniy be III :, con-
elusive sTsuu.en in favor OF their Adams Conven
ton. Nor have they told what evils haze
gown Out of mode, Mich has Leen az pild .cs
the Gensfal Ticket law wa passed aad which ha-
been recognized and sanctioned by the prsctice oil
some oil the tirst ia the Commonly we 9TH o,
W. the, OF John Taylor ofCafone, of Rosne, and
we believe, Il the. Honorable Ch4ifinan of The
Meeting himself.
The only grea' point, after all, is for the PEOPLE
to have iaIf opportunity of voting for The ca, d-
dates they prefer President and Vice President
and this is TIE only object OF designating Electoral
Tickets. fne Electors do o,hing more han give
their votes Tor The IA n whom they had pledge ID
themselves 10 vote Tor. This is the only they
are TO perform; and Ihis hey perform, not becaa-e
of The manner ia which they were nominated,
but because they elected by the people to
perform iha, act We repeat, however, that if
the people do not like This mode of designations no
man has right TO object TO any form OF nomims-
lion which they may be pleased to select
The Meeting might have sp ken with nore for.
