Great Union Meeting ia Union County.

On the day before yesterday there Was
a large and enthusiastic Republican meet
ing at Maynardville, in Union county. No
less than five hundred voters were present.
This is Just half the entire voting poPula-
ton of the county. Delegates were select
ed to the District Convention: instructed to
vote for Judge Houk's nomination for Con-
gress. Gen. 50. Cooper was recommended
fer Elector for this District Welearn that
the General Is not desirous Of the position
of Eleetor, and viii not accept it.
A more enthusiastic demonstration Of
Radical loyalty we have nowhere seen than
at Maynardville on Monday. The large
crowd at Maynardville listened for more
than four hours to speeches from Judge
Houk. Gen. Cooper and J. B. Brownlow.
The first Saturday in September was
suggested by Union county as the day for
holding the District Convention in this
city. This is now the day agreed on by a
majority Of the counties Of the District,
and we hope the friends of the good cause
will all remember this, and govern them
selves accordingly Remember that the
first Saturday in September is the day, and
Knoxville the place, for the assembling OF
the District Convention to nominate can
didate for Congress.
