Inc Jackson Democratic Association" have called
meeting IN this city, "Wednesday evening next sin fave,
OF the War and the Freedom OF the Press" There will be
some inconsistency IN calling together Jackson men to sun
port Mr. hehe but great causes bury beneath their own
weight all minor questions. II expected that
will be made for President and Vice President of Inc
States IN the campaign Every body here ,c
that the Freedom oil the Press nirinyed upon
when the Reporter OF the n. v Tribune was expred fro
his scat than when Mr. Richie excluded from the pri.
veged seats the floor of the Senate. On this account
therefore, the friends OF the former insist upon his nomna
ton To the higher office. The ucket must therefore be
Mr. RieHEL1Lr" OF the Tribune, Tor President, aud Mr.
RIToHIE Of the Unisn, tor Vice.
These two gentlemen hare been somewhat opn,sc5 .,
each other in politics, but this nothing. Fate has made
them one circumstances, like trip hammer falling upon
red hot irOn have welded them together. The ticket viii
be perfectly irresistible Il will sweep over the country
and through the States ike a among the conste,
tons! OF course the expulsion OF "Richeieu' will be
condemned Wednesday evening well as that OF the
Union. Tins be done secure the vote of consist
ent men-consistency, however, general among the
Loeooeo politicians, and suppose they can get along
without II ne next as well as IN the previous Campaigns
Richehe has not defined his position on this point
lie Union IS mnderaung somewhat the liberty OF |
the Press IL has only about two columns to-day. 1t has
now published oEty about 20 columns altogether about his
own expulsion. This magnanimouS. suppose he feels
himself bound t, do this make w Tor ms nce.oe;
when brother Editor expelled by ms MIR Riches
own party. As he could spare for twenty words
m condemnation then, he feels bound make up by TWEEN
~ columns now OF neglect and omitted sympathy.
