1t is veil known that George H Row

forward by the late packed Convention,
has the undivided support of the Breck
inridgeites and original sympathizers with
JEFF. Davis; and that all the meetings held
to advance bis political interests, have
been officered and entirely controlled By
men of this stripe. Such are the special
lovers of Mr.. Rowland, and the most bit.
ter haters of Mr.. Westbrook. But Mr.
Rowland tells us that be is a Union N q
and has no sympathy with secessionism N
Then why is it that these strange chsrac
