. Two weeks ago, adopting the suggestion of
Coi Seward in a political meeting, we. cabled
fin the Breckinridge men to consult with onec
another, and th*i? opponents of aH parties,
.upon of holding a county Mass
of parties, for . the pur
pose of sigifying so our Representatives. in
the legislature, y\4iat ‘would be*expect£d of
them by their constftuents, in the ‘event, of
Lincoln’s election. We suggested at the Same

hyrt Jionest man; if carried out* though pri
*>r to the‘election, was replied, to; by hdvUing
. tho BfeeVinridge p,arty to “Atay at home.’’ It
• is needless to say they fplloAfed the advice; but
•a call for such a meeting,.which aj>{Sears in our
papep*to-day, and yhich ‘originated *tvith ami
is-sign’ed by aiapy fhembers of the Breckin
