Io participate in it and hear the great men who
wilhe pr'eaeiil on the
Kepublicans of Korfh ind'SoutB Carolina wilt
flock to the battle ground. A general invitation is
extended, and we hope to see puiny ot the Uepub
licana of Rowan going up. It will require only a
few days .aod no expense, as evvry man can take
bis own proviaiona. Such another opportunity lo
meet and hear aome of the moat distinguished men
of the country may not soon again occur, and it is
surely worth the sacrifice of a few days to be pre
sent. . .
