COMPROMISE Is TREASON TO
THE GOVERN MENT OF BOTH
GOD AND MAN."

The last issue of the downtown Secession
concern devoted half column to some reso-
lutions passed by n batch of Traitors in
Broome, Chcnango and Delaware counties,
New York. Instead of this peace" meet
ing being a large one, it turns out that but
about $50 persons attended it. Here are
some resolutions, adopted the PATRIOTS of
Broome and Chenango, which we hope the
Editor will let his readers see. Will you
not publish them, Johnny, or will you per.
sist in misleading your readers?
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, Aug l.
To the Editor IF the Globe:
In your paper of the 3lst ultimo l find
the following paragraph in your summary
Of news:
"'rhc Baltimore sun snys that on the 10Th instant the
people oi Broo,nc, Delaware aud Chenango counties
New York met in large numbers aud adopted utons
III uVor oi the Union, hut declaring that cannot he pre-
served ~ opposition to public feeling hy The mere eX1r
uon Of the cOercve power confdcd 10 the General Gov
erihncnt 1t states that similar resolutions have been
ndorrd by meetings III Warncryie, New York, and
Monroe county, Pennsy wanna
As have the honor to represent two of
the counties referred to, desire, on behalf
of the loyal and true mcn of those countless
to say word in explanation. The meeting
referred to was attended by about $50 per-
sons, as / am informed upon good authority,
although great efforts were made to secure
u large attendance. So far us the mass Of
the people are concerned, there is but one
sentiment. The supporters of MIR. Douglas,
MIR. Breckinridgc, and Mr.. Lincoln, in the
above locality, are determined to sustain the
Government in its efforts to maintain the
Union and enforce the laws. Such repre-
sentation as the above paragraph does great
injustice to people who have furnished
men and money for the vigorous prosecution
Of the war The County of Broome has
three companies in the Union Regiment,
commanded by Col Slocum, whose bravery
on the bloody field at Bull Run is acknowl-
edged on all hands. These companies were
first and foremost in the fight; and though
their ranks have been terribly thinned by
slaughter on the battlefield, they stand
ready to go wherever the Government may
require.
As an evidence of what the people of that
District mean in this contest | refer you to
the following resolutions which were adopted
at large and enthusiastic meeting compo-
sed Of the citizens of Broome and ChenangO
