rhe Grea. Question.

The great question which the people are eve
rywhere asking with the most intense anxiety
Is this-Is this war to end In the permanent dis
solution Of the Union, or in itsre establishment
upon broader and frmer basis? This ques-
tion overtops and casts into the shade all 9th
ers. The people arewilling and eager to carsy
on the war-to expend their blood and treasure
ia its prosecution, II thereby the Union can be
preserved. But for no other objeos are they
willing to make the immense sacrifices that
they see will be required of them, if the war
continues to go on month longer.
Political philosophers may see, or fancy they
zee, other points to be settled in this contest, to
them of great Significance; but in the minds oi
the macs of the people one thing, and one thing
only, is uppermost, shj that is, the preservation
Of the Union by maintaining the supremacy Of
the Constitution and laws of the United Slater.
The Union is the watohEord that rouses and
fires the popular hoari.
There is probably not one man in thousand
among the loyal people in the Union, who de-.
sires the subJugation of any portion OF our
country for The sake Of conquest merely, and
that IL may be held afterwards only by the pres
ence of standing army. No patriotic Union
man wishes to see the Union re constructed up
On any other principle than that of mutual a.
deity and attachment to the Constitution. A
Confederation kept together by mere force on
the part OF the Central Government, would
not be the UniOn we have al! learned TO love
and cherish; it woald be despotism which we
have been taught to despse and abhor. If the
people were fully persuaded that the war would
not terminate ultimately in the restoration Of
the old relations Of harmony and good will be-
tween the different sections Of the country, with
which the Republic grew up and prospered,
they would say to their rulers ct dhce-" Stop
this bloody and useless contest. If we are
never to live together again as brothers, let US
separate peacesblS."
What Is to be the issue Of this war7 This
question no man can answer TO a certainty But
with our fathers the issue Of the Revolutionary
war was at the be inning, end until near its
close, uncertain. At times they were almost
disheartened by the dark clouds that hung over
their destiny; yet they were sustained by the
hope of ultimate success and the consciousness
OF the justice Of their cause. ...t
The glorious Union, resulting from their tolls
and sacrifices, is now imperiled, and its over.
throw threatened. The people. as their fathers
rallied for the assertion of their Independence,
have rallied almost as one man for maintain
ing the Union, which is the guarantees Of our In
dependence and freedom. Aslopg as there Is the
least prospect hope of success, let us not grow
weary or remiss in the noble work We have
undertaken. &C.

Old Abe, who was "pzEPLY eRIEvKD AVN WOUND

Georgetown Correspondence.
GEORGETOWN, II

GEORGETOWN, Feb. 10, 1861.
Our streets were enlvened in the early part
of last evening by drum and fife, with three or
four men following their strains of music with
a Transparency bearing the inscription "Fol
Mayor, r. r. Crawford" 1t was soon dscov
cred that its purpose was to drum up recruits
for meeting that was shortly afterwards found
to be held at Forrest Hail.
On proceeding to the Hall of their meeting
| found there the Holy Hill band, and numer.
Gus citizens of Georgetown, who seemed to be
composed OF men of the opposite party, as well
as those friendly to Mr.. Crawford.
Mr.. Pearson, who acted as chairman, stated
the object of the meeting, which was the nom
ination of Mr.. X. r. Crawford for Mayor. He
then proceeded to make short but fiery ad.
dress, pouring hot shot into all the outside,
broken fragments of such isms and parties as
the Wings, Know Nothings, Republicans, &c.
After Mr.. L. had concluded his speech,
Mayor Crawford then addressed the audience
for about an hour. He gave an account of the
proceedings by which he had been excluded
for so long period from the functions of the
Office to which he had been elected, and charged
those proceedings as usurpation of authority,
and gross wrong upon the rights of every
citizen of the town. After detail of the dis.
putation about the balot-box of the second pre-.
cinct, he gave n further statement about that
of the first precinct, in proof of the injustice
and Partially perpetrated in the proceedings
by which he had been kept from his office. lie
said that the Corporation had exceeded its au.
thority, and trespassed beyond its chartered
powers in assuming to adjudcate as to the re,
suit of the disputed election. TO avert wrang.
ling and possible bloodshed, and under the
considerate advisement of friends, he had
waived the assertion of his rights by force, in
reliance upon its ultimate just award by the
proper court of appeals. He expatiated, then,
upon some of the grievances under which our
town, in his opinion, has suffered from the pre-,
sent dynasty.
Mr. Pearson then arose and nominated Mr..
R. R. Crawford for Mayor which was carried,
and the meeting adjourned.
There were two funerals here this afternoon;
