"The Vans have been for some time en-
deavourins to GET up meeting IN this coun.
" for the purpose Of expressing their loyal.

mutation to suffer General jackson 10 Choose
q President for them for the next four years.
To carry tins into effect, public notices were
posted up IN various places, that meeting
al the friends o! Martin would be held at
Gallery Chapel, on Saturday, the llih 10.
slant. Great were the expectations of the
leaders Of the party, and great, | assure YOU
was their disappointment. The said Gal
berry Chapel IS perhaps capable OF holding
fifty people, and after the faithful had taken
their seats, there was room enough lett tor
thirty more. Men and boys, they number.
ed about twenty. General M'Donad, col.
lector for the port Of Edenton, was called

some such name, appointed Secretary. Mr.
K. R Heath, a gentleman who halls from

the Secretary OF that meeting did not re.
cord all Of the proceedings, We beg leave tc
offer few amendments, for the correctness
Of which We have the authority Of two high
Nv respectable gentlemen who were present
at the meeting. In the first place the Sc.
cretary iorgo, to record that young gen.
,leman named Mebane replied, most happl
N, to the speech Of Mr. Holmes, in which
among other good things, he informed the
people that Geo. Jackson was not a candl

candidate, fact about which they were
equally liable TO mIsconcepton, siace IN,

Secretary also forgot TO mention, that attei
the speeches were over, John L4ssater, Esq
rose and moved that all the friends Of Jugd,
" aile should rellre-when there was - suct

seen 10 the respectable village Of Plttsbo

upon the above authority, that out Of a very
Bumeroas company, only between 20 aud 81
persons were left in the Court House
These are cheering accounts, indeed. We
have particular regard for old Chatham
