His reasons for this are set forth IN his letter
That they are satisfactory and imperative 10 him is OBJ
yous but il is equally clear that the democracy of the

pride OF the deserted village" with Its twenty-five
voters that has ihwared the will OF Mobile, WIN It's
sixteen hundred voters and indeed the whoe dslfic

the democrats of Mobile will, in public meeting, do the
same.
As this position of things renders necessary that
another public meeting should be held 10 appoint new

be held at the ALEXANDRIA Saturday evening next If
