EZoetirgs in Preston County.

At Reedsvillc, on the Morgantown
and Kingwood pike, on Saturday last,
a large and enthusiastic meeting of the
friends of Fillmore, Donclson and the
Union was held. A splendid Young
Hickory pole, Complimentary to the
friend of Jackson, second on our ticket
50 feet high, was raised, from which
floats long neat streamer, and below
that beautiful American flag, with
the names, FILLMORE & DONEL-
SON inscribed thereon. After the
pole had been put up, the crowd came
together in the grove near by, and
were ably addressed by Maj. VIM. B.
linn, County Elector, and DR.. Elliott,
of Independence, whose speeches were
highly spoken Of by their auditors
After the speaking, three cheers for
Fillmore & Donelson, three for the Ia
dies who made the flag, and three for
the speakers were called for and given
with hearty good will.
At Varnelfs, voting place for Dist.
No. 2, five miles beyond Brandonville,
an enthusiastic assembly of Americans
were congregated to raise Fillmore
pole. An excellent and sumptuous
dinner was provided by the hospitality
of Mr.. Varncll, to which ample justice
was done by the crowd. After dinner
tall pole 118 feet high, was raised,
from the top ofwhich floats handsome
strcamcr, bearing the patriotic word
" UNION !" When the pole was up,
Mr.. Jared 1Iagans, Of Brandonyillc,
presented to the friends Of Fillmore in
that precinct, a handsome flag, bearing
the names FILLMORE & DONEL-
SON, which was run up to masthead
and hailed by three cxultant cheers
We then addressed the assembly on the
topics of the canvass, in speech of an
hour and a half, after which three times
three cheers were given for the speak
or, our cause and candidates, and the
crowd dispersed in the best feeling.
We noticed, on our rctuyn, a tall and
beautiful Fillmore pole at the Cheat
River Suspension Bridge. The cause
Of the Union against Scctionalism is

may it continue.

all parties. ITO respected friends a.
cross the line, we earnestly appeal to
weigh we'll and periodically, the TEN
DENOTES of Republican success, while
they may be disposed to approve the
doctrine of no more slave territory
Pause, lest you aid in melting a crusade
against the Southern states, and the
rights which the Constitution, the bond
Of Union made by our fathers, in the
wisdom of its latitude guarantees to
them, severally and collectively.1
We have, then, two sectional parties
each striving for the ascendcncy by ap
peals to sectional jealousy and feeling.
WILLARD FILLMORE, with his host of
conservative friends, Americans true
and Wings tried, stands great break
water to the two extremes. The duty
of patriotic and conservative men is
plain. Every man, in voting for Pres
ident, has his individual responsibility
to mcet-the side issues of availability
have no place in the catalogue of con-
siderations. Let every man do what
nc feels to be right-let every man go
fearlessly and vote for the candidates
who will best promote the peace of tho
Union, who have been tried in the fur
mace and come out pure gold-DO
YOUR DUTY, and leave the event to
that all-wisc and benefcent Providence
which has thus far prospcred us as a
nation.

appealing mainly to the passions and
prejudicos of the Southern States; that
the success Of either faction must add
fuel to the flame which now threatens
to wrap our dearest interests in COM
mon ruin.
Resolpea, That the only remedy for
an evil so appalling, is to support
candidate pledged to neither of the
geographical sections now arrayed in
politicsl antagonism, but holding both
in q just and equal regard. We con-
graduate the friends Of the Union that
such candidate exists in Miilard Fill
more.
Resoluea, That, without adopting or
referring to the peculiar doctrines Of
the party which has already selected
Mr.. Fillmore as candidate, we look
to him as wcll.tricd and faithful
friend of the Constitution and the u
Mon, eminent alike for his wisdom and
firmness-for his justice and modera-
ton in our foreign relatons-for his
calm and pacific temperament so we'll
becoming the head of a great nation
for his devotion to the Constitution in
its true spirit--his infexibility in exc
cutting the laws; but, beyond all these
attributes, in possessing the one trans
cendent merit of being o representa-
tive of neither of the two sectional par
ties now struggling for political supre-
macy.
Resolved, That in the present ext
gency of political affairs, we are not
called upon to discuss the subordinate
questions Of the administration in
the exercising of the constitutional
powers of the government. 1t is en-
ough to know that civil war is raging,
and that the Union is in peril; and
proclaim the conviction that the rcsto
ration of Mr.. Fillmore to the Presidcn-
cy will furnish the best if not the only
means ofrcstoring peace.
Resolved, That VIC cordially approve
the nomination of Andrew j. Donel-
son for the Vice Presidency; regard
ing him as q national, conservative
patriot, faithfully devoted to the Con-
stitution and the Union.
Resol0ed, That spontaneous rising
of the Wings throughout the country
and their prompt rally to the support
of the highest national interests, and
the spirit here displayed, sufficiently
attest the national importance of pre-
serving and rcinvigorating their party
organization-that a National Wing
Committee of one from each of the
States, be appointed by the president
with authority to call any future con-
yention, and, generally promote any eff
fective organization of the party thro-
out the United States.
Rcsolved, That these resolutions be
published and respectfully submitted
by the Convention as an address to
the people of the United States.
These resolutions were received with
unbounded enthusiasm, and were unan-
mously adopted.
Speeches were then made By David
Paul Brown and others.

FRIENDS or rxzLnGoRI!

FRIENDS oE' E'XLLNEoRE!
ARE YOU ORGANIZED FOR THE BATTLE?
FIVE WEEKS from next Tuesday will
decide the destiny of our-beloved and
glorious Union, not only for q limited
Executive term of four years, but in
all probability for time to come. The
momcntous issues of peace or bloodshed,
national harmony or fraternal strife,
which ovrrridc all other issues, now in
volved in the Presidential canvass,
should nerve and animate the patriot
ism Of every true-hcarted American to
do the full measure of his duty in the
present crisis.
We see portion of the territory of
the Union the active theatre Of CIVIL
WAR, and the dcmon-spirit revealing
there spreading to, and being imbibed,
in sister and contiguous States, and we
see an Administration, criminally gull
ty Of precipitating and fostering these
troubles, utterly powcrless-it would
almost seem indisposed-to arrest the
dangerous commotion. We see the
Southern portion Of the old Democrat
ic party, under james Buchanan, the
personifcation Of the Cincinnati Plat
form, endorsing, defending and advo-
eating the course Of Pierce & Douglas
rule and ruin, and the mastery mac
tiyity which permits the virgin soil Of
Kansas, day after day, to be sprinklod
with fratcrnal blood! In the namo of
heaven, if Democracy can cure the evils
which so sorcly bcset us, why does it
not do it--why has it not done it ere
this--invcstcd as it is with all the pre-
negatives and powers Of our govern
ment, Legislative, Executive and Judi
cial? Buchanan is the representative
and advocate of ercc-democratic pol
icy, and has not our beloved but bleed
ing country seen enough of such policy
in the past two years? Can orr Union
long survive such policy, or rather
mch rant Of policy?
We see, again, Northern sectional
party, swallowing up Northern Dcmoc-
racy, and routing it as by the bosom of
destruction or the tornado's fury--uni-
ting the dangerous isms Of the North
in a strictly sectional organization.-
The success of tho Black Republican
party would be dangerous to the Union
because, having selected both its can
dldates from the North, it rcpu0iatcs
the rights Of citizens Of southern States
to any share in the general Govern
ment! because, again, while its plat
form may only embrace the non extern
sion of slavery, as the ayowcd object
Of the party, it is an undeniablc fact
that tho press and advocates of the par
ty are striving to augment their nun.
bers and strength by the raukest and
most ultra ABOLITION sentiments and
appeals, thus creating popular sonti-
mcnt that will not be satisfied with the
arrest Of slavery extension alone, but
encouraged by success would erclong
demand tho Abolition Of Slavery in the
District Of Columbia, then in the States
Of the Union, and thus become a cru
suadc against onc-half the Union, and
the Constitution under which the en-.
tire Union ought pcaccably to subsist.
