FOR THE DEMOCRAT.
GREAT RATIFICATION MEETING.

Ma. EDITOR: Is it true that the Opposition
party Of this county have determined not to vote
for Bell and Everett? At their meeting, called q
few evenings ago at the Market House, their
principal speaker declared most vehemently that
he would not vote for Democrat for any Office,
or for man who had ever voted the Democratic
ticket, which sentiment was long and loudly ap
plauded by this meeting. Now, since it is vel
known to every man of reading in the land that
John Bell was for a long time distinguished
Democrat, and strong supporter of Gen. jackson
and his administration, and afterwards canvassed
Tennessee ia support of the Hon. Hugh L. White.
q Democrat, for the Presidency. 1t follows that
this or Itor and his party here will decline sup.
porting Mr.. Bell for the Presidency. And fur
ther, the Hon. MF Everett has recently voted In
Massachusetts, either for Democrat or Black
Republican, the writer will not say which, but
leave this matter TO be determined by bis party
who will not vote for Democrat. YAZ00
