VA call for a meeting of the citizens Of

meet in Chestertown, on Tuesday next, is
published in The Kent Neps. 1t is quite
largely signed The object of the meeting is
there stated to be to proclaim the devotion of
the people of that county to the " Union and
the Constitution" We presume the real
intention of this meeting is to send delegates
to the National Union Convention, which
shortly meets in Baltimore. 1t will he well,
if the gentlemen who may compose that meet
ing, while declaring their love and devotion
to the g Union and the Constitutions" will
remember that, while this is all we'll and good
there is something else to be done They
should send delegates to the National Con-
venton, who will vote for a man who can be
elected. We have lad platforms long enough,
and now, if we. expect the people to be with
US, we must sink these to their proper level,
and look to the man. We want man whose
actions are his brightest record; who speaks
by his actions and not by twenty solid col
umn letters. The people have too often been
deceived by platforms and men Of mere pro.
LESSONS; they want man who has shown
that he has " backbone" and that man
we say is .-EDwARD BATES, of Missouri.
