Summary
John W. Baughman was to speak at the Breckenridge meeting, but was "boisterously requested to step down," to cheers for Bell and Everett and Douglas.
Transcript
Messrs. Editors: - The Citizen states that at the meeting held by the Breckinridge faction on Saturday night, the 29th of September, John W. Baughman, Esq., addressed the people. This is a mistake; Mr. Baughman arose for that purpose, but inasmuch as he refused to discuss the only subject which the people wished to hear from him, to wit: the price of eggs in Cumberland, he was rather boisterously requested to step down: which he did amid loud and long continued huzzas for Bell and Everett and Douglas. LISTENER.
