and the Union without distinction of party, resident
in the city and county of Philadelphia, to attend

most sincerely wish that 1t was in my power to at
tend that meeting That great central city Is not only
full of the friends the nstution but full, also,
of rccuIlcctons connected with its adoption, and
<fhcr ,rrrnt events in our history In Philadelphia

philauclphia tho Declaration Ot Independence was
made In Philadelphia the Constitution was formed

Speeches were then delivered and much enthu-
siasm prevailed. We hope that the demonstration
may be productive of good results, and that at the

box is the only furnace that prove these Union
sympathiscrs true metal. Let hope and wait:
the members of Congress having drawn enough
pay to still the camors of landlords and washer
women will not dissolve the Union this session
Recently too there have been great Union de-
s!lonstratUns in Louisville, Ky, and at other points
IN the great West, at which many Of the best men
in the land have raised their voices for the Cnun
the Constitution and equal rights
We are satisfied that a reaction is taking place
all over the country and that a mighty Union
feeling is yelling up in the whole American heart,
and if the Vaccinations of wire pulers and the
cunning and secret devices of trading politicians
can only be thwartcd in November by placing a
national States Rights at the head of the
government the Tnion viii receive lease
&ld we shall hear nothing more of dissolution for
dozen years to come. Certainly there is much
hope for; and too there Is much work for evcr:'
patriot to do who values the blessings conferred
by the Constitution and Union under which he
lives.
