SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
SIXTH DISTRICT. A Democratic
meeting at Port Gibson suggests that
''tbe delegates to the Democratic State
Convention at jackson from this Con-
gressional District, be instructed to meet
there in Congressional District Conven-
ton to nominate a candidate for Con
gress from this district, during the sitting,
or Immediately after the adjournment of
the State Convention"
The recommendation is based on these
grounds:
First, Of economy of time and money.
Second, That jackson is equally if
not more accessible than any other point
that might be designated within the Dis
trict; and
Third, Because the delegation is likely
to be larger than will attend any District
Convention.
The Natchez Democrat doubts the
policy of holding the Convention outside
the district; and suggests Natchez as a
suitable place.
