 SR-W ith much surprise saw, in the last 'Democrat," ffw remarks taken, perhaps from letter writer from this county, stating that steps will be taken for hOl'ing another county meeting in this couuty''-that there ''is to be a meeting purely democratic, and not to be managed by the clique" In justice to the gentlemen that held the meeting in this county the 9th Octo- Der, | must say that far from any person at Little Rock having any management in said meet ing, or any striker for any man or set of men or "cque," unless it after the meeting was held some would-bc strNcr wishes to make the delnocra- cy. nt distance believe that there has been niair means used in that meeting. In order to place the public in possession of the facts in relation to it. l will make the following simple statement, and whi.h believe 10 be substantially correct: On Tuesday the 2isi day of September, and inc 2nd day of circuit court, there were several persons together, and Joseph J. Simmons come up and said 10 some person present that he wish cd them to meet at some place during the day and agree on some suitable time to hold county meeting, also stating that he pressed with bu- sinessthat he could not attend, but that he would be satisfied with such arrangements as could be made. In accordance with this view there was one or more persons from each township in the county met and agreed to met at Rsgslae's Mills on the 9th of Oct There having been notices set up giving notice os the same.

There vas no instructions given as 10 preferences, in consequence of there being only i6 men and boys present. But there was on express understand lhst oaT delegates were 10 be instruc- tsd presioas 10 the meeting of the State Convention Ii IS truly amusing to See the opposition now made to coan,y meetings. IL seems b be forgotten that m lsI5, when there Was only aiae persons present set of resolutions passed qai,e lsuaalary of one Of our great men. Such was the desire for county meetings that il urged to hold them. and give public seRtimeni, ii there could be enough scfaped together. by means fair or ioni
