We give below the call for the great Union meeting in
Philadelphia which doubtless took place last evening.
All the papers with two exceptions) in that city
favor the movement The following editorial from the
Philadelphia Bulletin refers to the spirit aud zeal with
which this patriotic measure is progressing This call is
signed by thousands, and among the names many
of the most respectable citizens Of all parties and pursuits
in life.
We have no doubt il was one Of the most imposing
demonstrations Of popular opinion that occurred in
that city or in this country The opinions aud feel.
ings which these great assernbages Of the bone
and sinew" OF the people manifest cannot be mis-
taken or slurred by fanatics demagogues in
any part OF the country. They clearly prove that
the great Of the respectable and influential por
ton Of society is sound and patriotic and lar
moved from the rabd violence of the abolionisls on
the one hand they from the fppant denuncatons
OF the Union on the other We doubt that such
expressions of popular sentiment will later pro-
duce salutary impression on the public mind in all
sections We hope the example will be generally fol-
lowed:
