OF Vigo county, INDIANA, at their ratification meet
ing of the Gath ultimo, was one for holding GRAND
Mass MEETING at Fort Harrison, ON the 9th day
of September next, to which cordial invitation is
given TO the people Of surrounding States that they
may meet together upon the ground made glorious
by the gallanry Of TAYLOR in his younger days,
and there, in general meeting, ratify his nomination
for the Presidency. As this resolve accords with
