the public journals The General had INTENDED to all

political meeting; and il not until ne had read the
call for this meeting that he was induced 70 change his
determination, as good Democrat should. He had.'
for many years considered himself belonging TO tho
Democratic party but when this war broke out. he
considered with Jefferson. In his Inaugural Address,
We are all Democrats We are all Republicans,
