To III. Editors et'tht Emquirer:
northumberland as the action OF the
Democratic meeting. in Powhatan has been
paraicd in the papers as indicative OF 4 strong
feeling in this county for Lctcher, | deem 1t
due 10 candor to submit a short statement OF
facts. The meeting was a snnN enc, and cant
not, therefore, be regarded as fairly rejecting
the sentiments of the party in the county
Upon the taking Of the vote ii was found that
there were present but twcnty-six voting De
mocrats-ci There, fourteen rot>d .tor the rss".

through Mr.. Edward W. Bass. the excellent
Commissioner of the Revenue for the county.
and an indomitablc Democrat, that several per
sons, nho reye opposed to Lttchtr, LEFT the
meeting before the question was PIT, being
summoned to attend Il militia election ut that
time pcnding-so that, If the meeting hat even
been rs full. when the vote was taken, a. when
first called together. the resolutions would
have been defeated. Ia truth. several OLD
Democrats, We learn. became disguised with
the evidcn, wirc.wcrkinc Of certain politi-
%ticians. and incontinrnrly quit the mcctlrg..-
Among these Mr.. Danic! o.. Jennings. tt man

informed, completely nauscated with the trick
