"John T. Heard addressed the
meeting. Mr.. Heard said he was
unaware (?) of the intention of the
meeting, but he supposed that any,
thing for the good of the party would
be In order. You are all familiar
with the topic of the day, the con-,r
gressiOnsl convention that recently
met in this city. You all know az
well as that it was species of UNI
fairness and injustice in which none
of us will readily acquiese Those who
defeated Col. Philips worked vigor-
Ously and silently, and accomplished
the results you well know. As to the
action of Lay and Owens you well
know them. These two gentlemen
have nothing to do with the cubject
now, as they are completely out of the
race. Col. Crittenden, / fear from
the circumstances so plainly surround
ing the case, has been only too willing
an instrument in this combination"

Lay, Belch IL Co., that he was nomi-

for Col. Crittenden it will be when he

"The admirable spirit which Col
Crittenden has displayed over the
Unfortunate disagreement of the Iata
convention, has CONT

Except Johnny Trim who wanted

asst ditch to carry out his own hatred
or the nominee.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Heard's OPT
