 Meeting.

Pursuant 10 notice, the democracy of Madi- sion county assembled in mass meeting, on Mon day, April ,, 1858, the same beingth first day of the circuit court, for the purpose of appoint ng delegates to the Batesville congressional con- vention.
 Speeches by the canddates-Col. A. M. Will son, of Washington county, and Col. T. C. Hindman, oi Phillips, having been delrvered- the crowd being evidently too large to be coun- ted in the house, upon suggestion, retired to the square, and endeayored to form into Ilnes those for Col Wilson on the south and those for Col. Hindman on the north of the public square.
 Attempts were made to count them; but such was the state of confusion that 1t seemed dltfi- cult to ascertain definitely which had the ma jority-the friends of each candidate, claiming the largest number. Finally, the candidates themselves came forward and in order to pre- serve good feeling and harmony, Col. tlindman proposed that instructions should be given for Col. Wilson, as first choice, and it was also pro- posed, that instructions be given for Col Hind- man as second choice That was agreed to by both of the candidates and their friends.
 Thereupon, conventional meeting was or ganized by calling Dr. D. L. Saunders to the chair. and appointing J ames R. Berry secretary
 On motion, the chairman appointed Col. Thomas Bateman and Thos. D. Berry delegates to the Batesville convention, with instructions to vote according to the agreement above stated. Each delegate in case of his own inability to at tend, was empowered to appoint one proxy, pro- vlded, that such proxies should be citizens of Madison county and of the body oe the demo- cracv.
 Furthermore, in case of the absence of the delegates and proxies. that the president of the Batesville convention was authorized and re- qucsted to cast the vote of this county as afore said
