Massachusetts Spy And Worcester Advertiser

From the National Gazette.

A public meeting was held in this city on Saturday evening last, at the County Court House, for the purpose of collecting public sentiment in relation to Congressional caucuses. It was very numerous and rather tumultuary. The busy, tho' modest alderman of the Democratic Press, presented himself on high, and attempted to read a paper recommending a Caucus nomination of President; but the cry of "No Caucus," "Jackson," resounded from all the room and drowned his honest voice. Order being restored, a gentleman present begged that the caucus advocate should be heard, that he might be afterwards the more regularly and decisively put down. Accordingly, he declaimed his brief, not, however, without exciting murmurs of impatience; and when he had finished, there followed instantaneously a shout of indignation. The preamble and resolutions which he offered, as a true patriot and most disinterested pleader, were hardly suffered to be put to the vote; and when they were, that unlucky monosyllable "No," was intonated in full and overwhelming chorus.
