RANDOLPH MEETING.

RANDOLPH MEETING.
BY request of number OF our readers we
have given on the first page Of this paper, two ar
ticles from the Boon's Lick Times; one giving an
account Of the Randolph county meeting, and the
other from their correspondent at Washington.
The wbigs look at every appearance OF dissen.
lion in the democratic ranks as calculated 10 pro.
mote their own triumph; and hence the facetious
enjoyment which the Times correspondent expe
renced in compiling his remarks. But our op
ponents need not lay the fattering JUNCTION TO
their hearts, that they can arouse G. F. Jackson,
to take any steps calculated to defeat his party.
Though he may be wronged, he would not,
therefore, to avenge himself on few intriguers,
do any thing TO initiate against the lofty aspira
lions Of the democracy. The wings will find
that we, as we'll as themselves, see the necessity
Of Union and harmony.
We are pleased 10 see from the Times Wash
ington correspondent that the wings entertain SO
good an opinion OF our present able Representa-.
tive in Congress from this district, Gen. S. Price;
and we hope they will continue in the same
mind. If the letters Of the two correspondents
here alluded 10, have not some sinister purpose
in view, their meeting ct Fayette, from Wash
ington and Huntsville, and publication on the
same day, may be set down as another singular
co. incident!- Democrat, Of Wednesday.
The remarks Of our contemporary, on the
singular co.incident" of our receiving a let
ter from Washington and Huntsville, and
publishing ",hem on the same day~ are an
index to the feelings Of some persons about
here, who feel deep interest in the ap.
preaching Congressional Convention. We
regret, somewhat, the singular co-incident''
ourselves, seeing the effect it has had. 1t
has let the democracy into secret, which
we would have kept from them, for the pre-.
sent, at least, viz: that c. F. Jackson is the
very man the wings are DESTROYS Of con.
tending against in the Congressional can
vass. from the fact that they believe he
will be the easiest beaten. We regret
deeply, that they have made this discovery
but not now that they have, we hesitate moi
to declare our regrets.
If the letter of our Washington CORES
pondent, (who, by the way, is thorough
going democrat! but writes us letter
occasionally from personal considerations,
had not been detained on the road by tardi
ness on the part of Uncle Sam, much anx
iety, and perhaps some bad feeling, woult
have been spared, as It then would have

vile letter-and then our motives woult
not have been impugned, and what is NOR
important, our secret would not have beer
