Several townships have held meetings, says a correspondent of the Richmond Times, and a call has been issued to hold a County Convention in Henderson on the 13th. One speaker, wnt so far as to say that "North Carolina was better off under the Republicans in 1870 than it has been under the Democratic rule since."
