was held last week. The Mobile Advertiser says
The Courthouse was crowded. and numbers una
BILE to gain an entrance The Union men commended and
the Breckenridge men admitted that it the largest
political meeting ever held in Columbus. And sure we
are we witnessed more genuine enthusiasm, never
did we meet gallant and determined set OF men,
Our friends in Columbus they intend TO carry
Mississippi for Bell and Everett.
A most interesting feature Of the Columbus meeting
was the number OF ladies in attendance. They were
there by hundreds both at the day and evening meetings
lending their smiles and their approving voices to the
Union cause. The ladies Of Columbus are all Bell and
Everett men, all in favor of Union. And official
ly notified by them that in regard to Mr. Everett they
had taken his character aud fame into their fair
hands and prepared to defend him against all as
saults Their desire is therefore, that the gentlemen pol
tcians shall leave Mr.. Everett with them, and not en-
croach their prerogatve We trust their wishes will
be gratifed.
