Union Meetings.


There was an immense Union meeting hello
here, to-day, Thos. Shipley, ex- Chief Justice
President. The meeting was addressed by
some Of our ablest speakers of all parties
Resolutions were passed, nearly unanimously,
that the dissolution of the Union was the
greatest calamity that could befall the nation ;
that we are indebted to it for our prosperity ;
that it is the duty OF each State to AVOID a
just cause of complaint, and especially with
regard to the affairs of other States within the
jurisdiction of the United States; that we
desire to perform faithfully the obligations
imposed upon US by the Constitution and
laws of the country.
DETROIT, Jan. %.
A large meeting of the citizens favorable
to the plan of the Border States committee
assembled at the City Hall, last evening,
pursuant to call eff the Mayor. The hall
was densely packed, and hundreds were
unable to obtain admittancc. The meeting
was addressed by prominent Democratic and
Republican speakers Resolutions were
adopted favoring the admission of the Terri
tory south of SO 3V as a State, with or
without slavery, and all north of that line
free; the amendment of the Fugitive Slave
Law to prevent kidnapping; the repeal of
Personal Liberty Laws; the prevention of
interference BY Congress- with slavery in
slave States, and dockyards, and Interstate
trade; the non-interference by Congress
with slavery in the District of Columbia,
except with the consent of the people OF
Virginia, Maryland and the District; and
the perpetual prohibition of the African
slave trade. Three delegates were appointed
to proceed to Lansing and urge the Legisla-
ture to repeal all Personal Liberty Laws.
