for his reelection without the extension of his
patronage, in appointing some four hundred

Mexican territory haunt his eurapturcd vision

.. ... .,r. .. For The Free Press.
Mr.. EDToR:-The war meeting in the Court
House last Saturday, for which such an eloquent
appeal was made in the Picayuno, turned ouI as
all expected, "a flash in The pam" A few dem
ocrals, a few "PatrioIs of all parties" (at least
there was one scl(.styed patriot who has been
with all parties once, and with the Locolocos
twice) and few boys, in all about forty, con-
silued the meeting, these did not all assemble
until the "ihird ringing of the belI'' in the ar.
ternoon.. There was not overthirty Locolocos
present, think at any one Iilre, Of these one.
sixth at least were candidates for Congress. TO
wit: Isaac Atkinson, DR.. Mcmillan, VIM De-
ford, A. w. Morrison and Joseph Cable.
| could not help reA3ctng upon the changes
and vicissitudos of life, and particularly poiit-
icRl life, when saw Isaac Atkinson figuring in
aLocofoco meeting, 10 secure seal in Congress.
In 1886 he was the Locoloco candidate for Rep
rcsenlOtive and was elected. In 1887 he was
the Locoloco candidate for Representative and
was defeated. In 1842 he was the Wing can
didate, (save the mark against Joseph Cable,
and was elected. He then began to think of
Congress, and III 1914 was not little dispeas.
/ ed because he did not receive the nomination.
In 1876, it is very well known that if he had
been made the candidate, he would not have
been abusing lho Wings during the canvass of
that year. His disappointment, however, in
this, and in relation 10 The CIerkship, for which
his son, Major Atkinson was acandiduo, turn
ed the tables with him, and he has ever since
been one of the most violent abuseis of the
Wings, and one of The most sycophantic wor.
shippers of the Democracy.
The meeting as announced in tho hand dbills
stuck about the corners, was termed a "WAR
I MEETING," and some oftho Resolutions seemed
a good deal War-ike. The speech of Col. ca
bic, which by the way did not hear, is said TO
have been all that could he expected from the
editor of the Pcayune--a prelude about Fe Ter.
alism, tyranny. and democracy, he enter.
ed on the theme, which | suppose is TO support
the party in the opening canvass, that the Wings
are in league with the MericdnS-tho Wings are
enemies of their countryside Wings are sym
polhizing with and giving aid and comfort to the
enemy in time Of War, these he ran through all
changes, and concluded with the aPpordonment
BAL, and unconstitutional legislation. .c...
