How many persons atlcrder!, wo know not, but we presume very few, for we have not met with a single one, of severrl whom wo have asked, who was there. The proceedings of this meeting (which, it will be po criived, is called “a meetii'g of citizens of Ridmiuid county”) will be found below.—We do not like ibis mode of getting f.p a public meeting. Wiry was not iirc'tiotico published in the papers, and for sometime previously, that the people gene rally, throughout the city and 'county —all of Whom were t)<|iiiilly interested—might have known of it, and hat! an opportunity of attend ing! It would seem, too, fumi the following j extract from (ho Macon Telegraph, that this j modeo!’-prooceeding,on this subject,is &ut pern | liar to this meeting alone ; though, how many | more, beside the one In Macon, have been simi I larly conducted, wc are unable to sriy.—At a ; Meeting held in Terry, ‘Houston County, on the Ist inst,, on ‘the same subject (as wo see by a publication of the proceedings in the Maecn Tel egraph,) after a resolution to appoint a delegate hail been ottered, for the pit pose of testing the 0| inion of rhe Meeting, a motion was made, in writing, to adjourn, and carried by a large ma jority. “h is mentioned in (ho Macon Advertiser, of | lire Ist inst,, that John Lamak, La p was, on i Thursday last, elected u delegate to the con | leib] bile !
