DEAR PATRIOT:-I must tell you of a meet
| ing the Constitutional Union party held here
on Saturday night last 1t was good time
for our glorious cause.
A meeting had been called for the purpose
| of organizing BELL and EVERETT club. 1t
was expected to be SMALL quiet meeting,
| and no effort had been made to get up a
crowd. But after supper large bell was tenn
| porarily put up at the Court House, and it
was rung with good effect. Soon large
crowd was attracted on the Square, number
of the most beautiful rockets were sent up,
and the popping of crackers could be heard
in all directions. Then a number of nihnr
bells were obtained ana .. by tnls tme
| the Square was full of people. all shouting in
| the most uproarious manner. 1t was a glo-
rious time, and will long be remembered by
| all. .....- ....... .-- .s.. ..t
The crowd repaired in body to the Court
| House. The meeting was called to order, and
| Col Il. p. DAVIS made Chairman. He stated
| the object of the meeting in short address,
after which committee was appointed to
| draw up rules of government and select per-
manent officers for the club. Col DAVIS was
| made President of the club. Col DAVIS is a
son of that old Wing champion and patriot,
Capt MICH. DAVIS, who was, during his life, a
| staunch Wing and fast friend of HENRY
CLAY and JOHN BELL.

We are making preparations to have

fair ever seen here. Distinguished speakers
will be in attendance. We shall expect some
aid from Tennessee. You must send Gov
NELL S. BROWN, Gus. HENRY, Judge BRIEN,
BAuIE PEYToS, 10. G. PICKETT, LUCIEN TEN
PIE, and, in fact, any and all that you can
spare. Let them come down and make
speeches in North Alabama, aad know great
good can be accomplished. We are badly of
for speakers here, and must depend. to some
extent, on Tennessee for help. .'Come over
and help u.s."
little faction of disunionists about Mont
gomery have gone over to the YANCEY party,
but they do not take anything from our
strength. We gain hundreds of good Union
- H., Ii.
from our ranks.
just tell the people of Tennessee that the
Constitutional Union party of Alabama are
iull of life aud in fine spirits. We are going
to work hard, aud are determined to do ev-
erything in our power to carry the State for
BELL and EVERETT in November next. What
we want now is speakers. We want men to
go out among the people and present the
claims of our party and our candidates to
them, and we are confident of success. Col.
JERE CLEMENS is here, but has not yet entered
the canvass. As soon as his private business
will permit, he intends to enter the canvass
and to do battle for our candidates. He is one
OF the finest orators in the country and is
universally popular. The people here know
and love him, and he can draw larger crowd
than any man in the State.
Our party here are of the unwavering kind.
They are for BELL and EVERETT first, for
them second, for them all the time, and FOR
no one else. Each one says, .sIf BELL does
not get another vote in the State, he will get
mine" That is the right spirit. Let ali say
that, and stand firm to their great chief
Three cheers for BELL and EvERETTi
UNION.
