Large Union Meeting
Summary
A large Union meeting of Jackson District citizens was held in Myersville. It consisted of people from all the former political parties - Breckinridge and Douglas Democrats, Americans and old line Whigs. William Metzger, Esq. was appointed president of the meeting. Those attending may have previously been complacent, but now are aware of the actions of the Maryland legislature meeting in Frederick and recognize the seriousness of the situation. Their concern was visible on their faces. The group passed many resolutions to be published in newspapers. The meeting ended by singing the Star Spangled Banner and exhibiting patriotism.
