The UNION MEETING AT PHnAnErPHrA.-The
great Union meeting announced to take place
at Philadelphia came off on Saturday night, but
it did not seem to amount to much. The speak
ers were comparatively undistinguished, though
letters were read from Edward Everett and q.
few other gentlemen retired from political life;
but the sentiments they contained were only
the same which have been expressed by all
classes of men who participated at previous
Union meetings held here and elsewhere, and
which all national democrats of the Central
States avow. The results of the Philadelphia
meeting were exceedingly small, and it was
evidently got up by parcel Of political chiffon
niers of all parties democrats, old line wings
and Know Nothings- who, having sold all their
old clothes and old boots, are looking through
the dirty political streets of the republic in
the hope of finding some other old material to
sell. The Honorable BOBBY Brooks, of New
York, went to Utica short time ago to try
and sell the debris of the Know Nothing party,
and having failed to make sale, he smashed
up his own machine, while at the same time he
endeavored to make people believe that he
smashed up the machines of the other two par
ties.
The real issue before the country-smother
it up in Union meetings and other maneuvres
as we willis the radical revolutionary issue
of neutrality-suspicious. slavery shall be
crushed out in the Southern States, or, as
Seward said, it shall spread over the States Of
the North and East. This is the true issue-the
vital question of the times. AS for these Union
meetings, they are got up by set of used up
politicians-me ragpickers-who as we said,
having disposed of all they had to sell, are
hunting up some other material through the
streets with which to 60 into the market, and,
like the Jew, cry-"Old clio, old clo', who'll
buy any old clo' in politics?"

The yewa speaker Elcct..

WILLIAM PENNrNaroN is the Representative
Of the With (Newark) Congressional District,
in New Jersey. He has filled, with great
credit to himself and profit to the public,
several high official stations. In 1S4S and
1874, he was Governor Of New Jersey, and,
tn ough since then not constantly engaged in
political affairs, hs has kept pace with the
progress of events, and now goes into the
Speakers Chair, (says the Chicago P,ss',)
not only we'll versed in his country's history,
but skilled and able parliamentarian. Gov.
Pennington. elected on the Peoples or Oppo-
siton ticket, is thorough and reliable Re-
publican, in whose hands the interests of the
country and Of the party will be entirely safe.
Upon taking the Speakers Chair, Gov.
Pennington delivered brief impromptu
speech, expressing sentiments Of devotion to
the Union which will find response in the
heart Of every patriot He was conducted to
the Chair by Mr.. Bocock, the former Disunion
candidate, in company with Mr.. Sherman,
"the traitor" "-''the recommender of Helpers
incendary work"-and it is significant fact
that, although the fire eaters had frightened
many tlmid people by threats of dissolving
the Union in the event of the election Of q
to the Speakers Chair, we have
heard nothing Of so dire calamity taking
place. We presume the valiant hotspurs
have ingloriously subsided, and are finding
consolation in fiery potations Of "tangle-lsg."

We are sometimes told, has never changed his
ground on the slavery Question. In ls4S, he
was en- favor of Congressional Intervention,
and in letter to Hon. w. L. Yancey, of May

Compromise was the only mode of adjusting
the slavery question in the Territories, and
that he could not abandon the position thus
conscientiously taken" He was Popular
Sovereignty man in 1856, and now thinks no
man is Democrat who sustained what he
did four years ago. Such is the consistency
Of the man who said in speech, good many
years ago, that "if he thought he had drop

Personnel of the Iowa Senate.

FcfSO4uc1 Oh INC IOWA ScndScs
The Desmoines correspondent of the Upton
Democrat, who appears to be keen observer
of "nen and things" as well as an impartial
judge of their merits, speaks as follows of "a
peep into the Senate:"
We enter, and behold in the Presidents
chair gentle looking young man, tall and
slim, with fine head of dark auburn hal, a
genteel goatee, kind, agreeable expression
on his face. He is what would be called q
handsome man. Mr. Editor, this man is the
much talked of "lager-beer Rusch." He
makes a good officer, and does pronounce
third" distinctly, but cannot, as yet, pro-
nounce either Iowa or johnson. No one
would take him for 4 "wooden shoe" from his
appearance. He is much liked, and is every
day becoming more popular with both parties.
Among the leading men of the Senate are
Wilson, of Jefferson, and Wilson, of Dubuque,
Rankin, of Lee, Mcpherson, of Madison.
johnson, of Wspello, and Col. Saunders, Of
Henry. Wilson is Chairman of the Committee
on Ways and Means, and Rankin of the
judiciary. Brown, of Cedar Falls, is also .
prominent Senator. Wilson, of Jefferson, is
a heavy built, square shouldered man, with a
broad face and q cross look. He seldom
speaks, but when he does, it is to some pur-
pose. Wilson, Of Dubuque, is a short, squatty
man, much inclined to corpulency, black hair,
and sharp, piercing eye. Rankin is medium
sized man, with good, pleasant expression
of countenance, and an intelligent look. Nc
Pherson is heavy built, good sized man,
with red hair and whiskers, and bulldog,
determined expression, that indicates him to
be man of much force of character John
son, of WapelIo, is a tall, well built man, and
looks as if he ought to De man of much
physical strength as we'll as force Of character.
Col. Saunders, Of Henry. is tall, genteel man,
black HAIR, dark, twinklins eyes, and pleas
ant, prepossessng expression of countenance
He is Just such man in his personnel as I
should think sensible woman would fall in
love with, as take him to be the handsomest
man in the Senate Tom Drummond, of
Benton, is quite young man. spare and slim
built, with bare imperial on his face. He is
sharp debater, and ke- ps keen look out on
the proceedings. In the Senate, the Repub-
licans have more leading men and men of
talent than the Democrats, but think it is
reversed in the House.
1t is now settled that this will be long
session, as but little has been done as yet.
There are too many distinguished men in both
Houses to do business expeditiously. Too
many speeches, too much parliamentary"
experience, and too large bumps on the crown
of their heads, generally.
