POUTICAL MEETING IX SALISBURY,
f We refer our reader for an account of a poli
tioal meeting held in the Court Houae in this place,
on Saturday last, to a communication over the ig
nature of "An Indf pendent. Whig! " though the
communication slid a tittle into the atyle of the
humorous, yet we believe, he haa stated the facta
fully, and correctly, as we ourselves were not all
together bile spectators of the scene.
Like our correHpoTiifeFiTTwe loolTupon this hieeP
in as an i eiitire lailurey and more especially wTien"
we consider the efTort made by those who agitated
I he question and planned the whole afliiir. We by
no means are disposed to object to any opposition
to Mr. Fisher, for we believe the more the subject
i agitated, the brighter will be hi prospect ; but
we do most streuously object to the course pursued
by thoae who desire to obtain one.
One among other objection we had to Mr. Tan
Rureri; Waa tiel"Baltiinure Caucus principle,': and
we ask, and in candor too, what is the difference
between the one at Baltimore, and the one onw
proponed at Anhboru'T The only difference, a we
conceive is, hjyhjOm'Jvaa$jrjanjzHdjn 'fx larga
scale, and the other on a small one. At the meet
in'g unucFcohVidcratiori, we are "informed that i
or seven delegates were appointed to go from this
place to Asliboro' If'ao, wh60 tLeiie dilegatea go
down, we should like to know whom tbey intend lo
represent. If they present thomaelves as the repre-
wrhave no objections ; thus far it will accord
with ihe rrpreaenlative principle ; but if tbey as
un.B to themselves the authority of speaking for
twelve hiindrpd freemen of Rowan, who have had
no agency in aeoding them there, directly or indi
recily, we positively deny their right lo do so.

cress, nr. fisher stated the ekac; sum that Cmi-
gross had expeudud at the session before last, for
! lliejr own pay and contingences, and afterward in
commenis on tne largeness oi me mm, he read
from a paper some subdivision of it, one of which
was evidently a mistake probably made ia the hur- - -ry
of the calculation. The mistake was not of the
least, imuurtauca. inasmuch, as Mr. Fiahof io- the-
first place ha given the exact account of ihe to
tal expenditures, and it wa in the power uf any
one to mako the tubdi vision bill thr writer aeirn-
bold of so trifling a thing as this ta aieke a long
flourish about il. The old maxim aays, u liltle
minds are pleased with little things." v

that the treat evil waa Dot in the Executive but in
"Congress. Hera again my recollection ie dilK-rent. -

believe one of tho other if not both, wa like " A -Whiff

" A.Whig Voter"draw loo mock on hi imagin. '

Fiaher' position to dissatisfy the link or twim men
of both parties. ; . ,
1 But there wa another thing upon which Mr.
Fisher did not give " A Whig Voter," information :
He said nothing, it seemv about "certain land
claima in which he is interested." Il is a pity Mr.'
Fisher did not lay a full atalement of his private
affi.ir before " A Whig Voter :" upor. thi point the
writer rfiplays r.s much igrunmce a he doe want
of f.iirnewj upon other. I submit to him whether ;

your readers, a short account ot it. .
You will recollect, Messrs. Lditors, that this
meeting wa Called for the purpose 'of responding
to the Ashboo' Meeting, and to appoint Delegate
to what i now modestly called a Coaerirtoa, but
what, a abort time ago, we all ued to call a Cauciia.
