MEETING AT UNION.

At a large and respectable meeting Of the
citizens Of Union District. at the Court House,
on the lst irsr., the following resolutions were
offered by Gen. D. Wallace, and being sup.
ported in animated speeches by the mover by
Col. T. w. Dawkins. Maj. J. NJ. Gadberry
and R. S. Wright Esq, were unanimously
adopted:
Resolcsd, Tia: we will yield 10 none
in our devo,eLness in our countries cause,
or in our readiness 10 obey any. call that
may be made. upon us to prosecute the
said war to successful aud honorable
conclusion.
Resolued, The, in the sense Of this meet
ing, the said&ar should be prosecuted with
an extent Of means, and an energy becom-
ing the dignity of the United States, and
that the war which Mexico has SO wrens.
fully provoked should not cease until eve
ry wrong is redressed, and the honor Of our
flag fully vindicated.
f,esoLred. That being forced to take up
arms in a Just and necessary war for the
defence of national honor andDalufal right,
they omgh, not TO be a gain laid down un-
Ill Mexico is taught that she cannot infiict
injury upon the rights Of the humble al
American citizen with impunity.
RESOLVED, That in The opinion of this
meeting, the thanks Of the people of the
United States are eminently due General
TAYLOR aud his gallant Troops, for the
prompt and decisive expulsion of the Mex.
lean Army from our suil, and for the addi-
,ioaai lusIre they have shed on our arms
upon The Rio Grande."

as might imply csnsure upon others. We
have heard no one. in or out Of the meeting
strenuously object to Mr.. Calhoun's refusal 10
vote for the bill declaring war witt, Mexico, bu,
we have heard in conversation rsgtet express.
ed that Mr.. c. had not taken some public oc-
casion 10 avow his determ ina,ion of sustaining
The country in tho war, formally declared by
the proper authority, however lie may have
been opposed 10 the measures which brought
about this result. For ourselves, we entertain
unwavering confidence that our distinguished
Senator will SO sustain the country, and will at
the proper time exhibit his purposes by his
acts. We should be sorry to be compelled To
entertain the opposite opinion, for we are per.
suaded that no man in the commonwealth, how.
ever distinguished and influential could main.
tain his hold upon the affections and confidence
of the people, who would repudia,e the senti-
ment of patriotism, that the country must be
defended and supported m tiule Of war.

This Xermfuge is perfectly safe, and,
so pleasant that children will not refuse

a few days he discharged upwards ofninety

country being incidentally alluded to in the
House Of Commons, Lord John Russell made
the following happy remarks:
Looking al one of the greatest nations

symptoms Of returning feelings of nrnily
and good will. When I read the speech.

Majes,y's Government wiItbe able 10 fix
finally the limits which divide the domi-
nions of her Majesty from those of the U.

or treaty which shall settle that boundary
will he but the preluIe ola more intimate
connexion between US and that vast COM
monweaith of free people; that we shall
carry on together our manufactures and
agriculture, vying with each other, if you
will, to make our productions more and
more perfect, striving, in the neutral mar

It's unnecessary to Justify the Chairman

not adopted by the meeting; but we suppose
that these officers perceiving the likelihood Of

explaualion of the reasons which led to this
course, took the simplest and most effective
course of avoiding this consequence, by omit

specially suggest to the Editor Of the Journal,
that his accoun, Of the matter, however little

their chapters almost as correctly and ineilig

answered the questions that were proponnded
10 them, and the perfect order aud decornm
they maiatained willis, they were examined.
