al have been conversing with quite number
of citizens Of Pike county, about holding a
mass convention, "a Mi. Nebraska) and il ap-
pears to be the wish OF the people. would
suggest the 18th of August as the time and
Petersburgh as the place."
Our friend will perceive by the Weekly
Journal which he has received by this time,
that call has already been made for such q
convention to take place on the Gath of this
month. What he Gays about the disposition
OF the people Of Pike, is equally true as to
tie people Of every county in the District
They want a mass meeting, SO they may
have an opportunity of freely commingline
and exchanging ideas as to their future Pol.
icy, and they want q candidate for Congress
which II is intended such meeting shall sup
ply. Every county in the district should be
fully represented, and we have no doubt ev'
cry county will be well represented.
