for public meetin; 10 opposition to the re-elec-
ton of Andrew Jackson, to be held IN few

the next Presidential contest in Pennsylvania
We shall insert the call, with the names annex

written signatures of many Of the most patriotic
and enlightened citizens Of this community. seve-

We learn that the changes produced BY the ve--
to message Of Gen. Jackson, in Bourbon, Mason
and Madison counties, have been very numerous.
The news of the veto was first announced an

of their county candidates.-On the announce
m-ut of the veto, the two Jackson candidates,
arose and Withdrew their names from the canvass,
declaring to the meeting al the same time, that
they cou support the administration no longer.
