| THE CoLuMBus MEETfSG.-The Bell and Everett
meeting at Columbus, Miss, on Saturday last, the
| official report of which we publish this morning,
was one of the noblest and most enthusiastic which
| We ever had the pleasure of witnessing. For
several days prior to the time of holding the meet
| Ing, the Breckenridge Democracy had been pre-
dieting failure, and yauntingly proclaimed That a
4 Bell and Everett meeting could not be gotten,up
/ In Columbus. But they were doomed to SAD
| disappointment. The Courthouse was crowded,
| md numbers were unable to gain an entrance.
| The Union men contended, and the Breckenridge
men admitted, that it was the largest political
/ meeting ever held in Columbus. And sure we are,
| we never witnessed more genuine enthusiasm,
! never did we meet more gallant and determined
| set of men. Until this meeting was held, the
Union men Of Columbus had no conception OF their
| strength. They had no idea of the strong hold
| which the Union cause had upon the hearts and
affections of the people, and they had no concep-
ton 81 the popularity of Bell and Everett with the
people, And this is the case everywhere. Meet:
lings are being held all through Mississippi, and
1everywhere our friends are surprised at the glo-
| |rous results. A dozen good and true men IN Q
village conclude to get up Bell and Everett meet
ing simple notice is given and behold, the peo-
\ pie rush BY hundreds and thousands to the ap-
\ pointed place, and glorious and enthusiastic
meeting, reminding one Of the scenes of 1919, Is
| the result. In not single instance, we are told,
has there been a faiure The truth is, there
never was q nobler cause than our cause, there
never was purer ticket than our ticket, and the
| people are beginning to know it.
