GREAT UNION MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA.
The Great Meeting which had been for some
time in contemplation at Philadelphia was held
last evening in the Chinese Museum and from
the accounts which have reached US, by Telegraph
and otherwise, it must have been one of the lar
gest and most enthusiastic gatherings ever con.
vened in that city.
Hon JOHN SARGEANT was called to the
Chair, supported by seyenty.f five Vice Presidents
selected from the most respectable citizens ofPhi
adelphia and vicinity There were also sixteen
Secretaries. A Telegraphic dispatch transmitted
to US while the meeting was in progress, is as fol-
lows:

notices The stage is in the center of the build

name of VIM D. Lewis was signal for an uproar,
and tremendous shouts of No! Mo- resounded
through the assembly Quiet being restored, the
resolutions were presented by George NJ. Dallas
who first addressed the meeting in eloquent
and very impressive. He would not argue to
usylyanians and Philadelphians in behalf Of
the Union, but would take it for granted that all
present were in favor of it. We have no time

frequent cheering.

their adoption
