MONDAY, JANUARY :, 1861.


ar, CHICAGO FOR THE UNION.
: :. Tho meeting at Bryan Hall, on Saturday
evening, was one Of the largest congTesa-
tions ever assembled in the city, and il WAS
plain that twice us many people went
away unable TO gain admission, as thero
were ct any one time inside tho hall itself.
One fact was developed beyond tho posi-
bilty Of cayl or dispute, to-wit: thu, tl=ro
is no division of sentiment in Chicago on
the question Of maintaining TIC Uniou e..
al ha=drd&- The meeting was presided
over by Democrat prominent in tho city
and the State. The committee on Rcsolu-
tions was composed Of Influential citizens
attached 10 both political parties. No sem
hments were expressed and in resolutions
offered, which did not look toa resolutc
adherence to the Jacksonian declaration,
"Thc Union must and shall be preserved
One OF the resolutions adopted declares
further that we can hold no parley witt.
traitors with arus in their hands The only
disagreement in the meeting related TO tie
terms in which the popular indignation
should be couchcd,-a large number pre-
feTriug the more pointed resolutions ulIe.
cd By Mr.. A. D. Bradley. 1twas not, how
ever, to be expected that meeting design
ed to embody the views Of both politic:,!
parties, and Of the entire community,
should adopt the exclusive opinions o.
one party. The phrase employed in
the last resolution, concerning tue prop.lc-
ty Of both parties making concessions in
the present crisis, was quite yclemcn;ly
opposed BY i portion of tie mcc:ing, bu1
wc think TINT when each man is left free to
define the concessions for himself there is
no valid ground for objection on the part
Of those who have sought and obtained Il
unanimous declaration for the Union, the
Constitution and the enforcement Of tl,s
laws at the hands Ct our citizens. The
object Of the meeting, in this respect, is
fully attained. Let it be known far and
wide that Chicago is {. unit for the integrity.
