House-Mr. Cobb asked that an articl
emanating from Massachusetts be read. wish
ing to know from the delegation from tina
State whether it was a forgery or not |
appeared in the Barnstable Patriot, from tn,
East, where the sun first rises on our globe
If it be genuine, he was glad that after
searching among the rubbish, he had beer
able to find in Massachusetts q single Jewel
which should be shown to the country.
The proceedings of the Union meeting at
Barnstable were read, declaring the duty o.
obedience to the Constitution as the supreme
law of the land, condemning Browns raid
and his sympathizers and those preaching
or melting insurrection as guilty of moral or
actual treason, etc.
MIR. Elliot asked that the call for the meet.
ing be read.
Cobb said that it was not in the paper; he
loved Union meetings but he wanted them
to declare such sentiments as had been read /;
he believed that many Abolitionist were
simply for the Union let the motto be the
Constitution and the Union, and the rights
of all sections; let them inscribe the banners
Hoe VignO Vencet; then, under this sign,
well conquer.
Mr.. Elliott remarked that Mr.. Cobb did
not say anything new to Massachusetts, or
the citizens of the State; there were not more
constitutional or conservative constituents
any where. From the landing of the Pill
grims until now there was never body ofmen
who more assuredly directly or promptly
stood by the laws and constitution and every
right, than those same men who met together
at Barnstable the other day to proclaim their
allegiance to the Union and laws. The men
who dissented from the spirit of these reso-
buttons are the men who would be found
standing side by side with the secessionists
and disunionists of the South. They were
not the Republicans nor order loving Demo-
Gratis, but another class of men altogether
was a Republican and his hearers sympathised
with his sentiments there declared We have,
he said, heard more terce than chaste, more
strong than parliamentary, more vigorous
than cautious denunciation after denunciation
against those men who came from the north
representing the feelings and principles of
the north as embodied in the resolutions Just
read. The time is not far distant when the
sceptre will pass from the hands who hold it ;
pass into other hands stronger, and then we
hope we will find our Union loving friends
shaking hands with the new party who will
have the power.
A balloting was had to-day, with the fol-
lowing result Whole number of votes 211
