Pursuant to public notice, mass meet
ing of the Dem ocrscy OF Harrison county
was held at the Court house on Monday

tendance from all portions Of the county,
The meeting was called TO order by Col
BENZ Wilson when aften some remarks
by Charles Lewis, Esq. and Capt. q. W.
Smith, who announced themselves as cam
didates for the CIerkship OF the Circuit
Court. Charles s. Lewis. Esq, made a
lengthy speech against the propriety Of
hclding'a convention, and was replied 'to
by Col. Wilson. in favor OF the orgsnlZa
ton OF the Democratic party in the sp-
preaching election, when. upon motion oil
Col. Wilson. Byron J. Basel. Esq, was

And whereas. the appropriation bills,
especially authorizing money TO be drawn
from the public treasury TO pay the debts
Of the Commonwealth, have not been
acted on and passed at the late session OF
the General Assembly
Aud in my opinion the interest OF the
Commonwealth requires the General As
sembly to be Immediately convened:
Therefore proclaim to the Senators
and Delegates of the two houses of the
General Assembly ofthe Commonwealth,
that they are required to convene at the
capitol in the city OF Richmond on Mons
day next, the 9Th day Of March, A. d.
1853. at l2 o'clock AZ. to iegislate fur
Their for the interest of the common
wealth, as they may deem necessary and
proper.
Given under my hand as Governor.
and under the seal of the Commonwealth
at Richmond, this 9Th day of March.
1853, and in the 82d year of the Com
mon wealth. HENRY A. WISE.
The proclamation was received with
surprise by those who were not in the Sc
cret of it's existence. but with general
good humor by all.
The refusal Of number of the mem
bers of the Legislature to continue the
session was prompted by the desire to
prevent. if possible. appropriation of mo-
ney 10 the internal Improvement compa.
MES of the State. in the present condition
of the public treasury. No appropria.
lions Of the kind have yet been made. and
it was feared. if the session was extend
ed, that the combinations in favor oil
those works would be irresistible. We
learned during our recent visit to Rich
mohd that tremendous efforts were being
made to force through these appropria
lions. and that our western members
stood firm. Some were willing to give a
reasonable appropriation to the Coving
ton Road, the most meritorious Of them
all, provided the friends of that compa.
ny would not enter into the general com.
bination. Our delegate. Robert Johns.
Ton. Esq. in an able speech made in the
House OF Delegates on the 4th ult., took
ground against any approp riations OF this
kind. He desired tat the State might
be given a breathing spell before any
more appropriations were made. or the
taxes increased.
1t is to be feared that large appropria>
tons will be made during the present sx,
ira session.

TAKING THE IN1rrAr1vE.-By reference
to the proceedings of the meeting held on
Elk, on last Saturday. it will be seen that
the indomitable Democracy of the glori-
Gus old Elk Precinct. always awake to the
perpetuity of the principles of their party
took the initiative in recommending the
organization Of our party for the coming
spring canvass. This recommendation OF
the Elk Precinct, whose Democracy new
er goes astray or wanders after false gods,
will have powerful effect in uniting our
political friends throughout the county in
organizing our party. They are always
found in the right track, and have often
saved the fortunes Of our party in this
county. No Democrat can be elected in
this county without the vote of that pre-
cincs. and as it has ever proved true to
our principles and our men. it deservedly
has great influence with the balance OF
the county. Glorious old Elk Z! may she
ever be what she has always been
