"On Saturday before the mob at the
house of Squire Sill, where young Fry
was unfortunately wounded so severely,

candidate for Congress" What the OBJ
! iect or result of that consultation was we
are not satisfactorily advised. We have
heard that the object was to determine
the course of the Democracy in regard
to the CONSUMPTION, and that the commit
tee failed to agree. How much truth
there is in these rumors we cannot fully
determine. One thing, however, is rath-
er remarkable Immediately after that
meeting commenced the efforts to pre-
vent the enrolment Sill, Scott, Sid
dens, Craig and Crawford were waited on
either by committee or by mob, and the
s books demanded, or the officers notified
that any further work by them in enroll
ing would imperil their lives Previous
to that consultation all was quiet. No
intimidation or resistance had been at
tempted This fact, taken in connection
with the seemingly concerted action i'm
mediately following that consultation, in
attempting to overdwe the enrolling off
GERS, and the forcible seizure of the
books of some of them, might lead to
the conclusion that the action of Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. fol-
lowing the meeting of the committee
was determined upon in committee.
