J. C. Wicker,
Judge Drummond, upon taking, the ehalr,
addressed the meeting eloqueni1y and to the
point, On the subjects at issue between the
North and South. Congress have declared
that the South has tnaugurated this war, bat
what are the real prime causes? Those vino
hare nged at peace With one another for more
than half century sharing together the
blessings so freely showered upon them, Gre
now at w1z With each otheE-eitizen against
citizen, friend against friend, brother asa4nst
brother! /
We Of the North are warring against fs1ons
snd traitors-those who are striving to carry
into execution their prc-concetEed plans lor
the overthrow of the Government, under |
whose protection and noble laws, they nave
been made all they have and all they are.
Every Union man understands and practices !
The true principles Of self government; it
matters not where he is. Tie Union men Of
Weetern Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky and
Missouri will carry out these principles, at all
hazards. The citizens of Virginia, east Of
| B.ue Rifge layc decided to seeede from the
| Uuion-the citizens Of the Western portion
are of an adverse opiaion-"a house divided
| sga3ngt itself cannot stand," neither can
State, though it be made up Of " sacred soil"
| Tta,ks to General Mcclellan, the Union men
Of Virginia are protected IN their rights.

We are laboring together, shoulder to shou!-
der to protect the best Government TINT was
ever conceived Of By the best minds OF any
age; aud it becomes every man to shoulder
Lis rifle, and rally to the support Of Union as
It WAS, aud, in the Pro vidaace of God, as it
shall be.
Our reverse at Manassas shoala inspire in
rs q renewed zeal aud determination. We
now know their numerical force is greater.
their defences more numerous and extensive,
and their general preparations for carrying IN
to EXECUTION their traitorous and destructive
designs, are much more complete than We al
e first anticipated. Have ne not the men ans
: means to cope with them? tAye, ayeD Som
}. say let Us have peace-some say compromise
but majority Of the citizens Of the Unite
I. States Lave decided that this Wat shall be ca,
!: ried through to an honorable Termination
d cost what It may! The only compromise th
Z l! North will submit to will be q surrender
73 the part OF the South, and their return to lol
