Two military companies Were formed and enough
were enrolled for third. The utmost enthusiasm
prevailed among the men. Chester D. Hubbard
one Of the delegates TO the late usurping Conven.
ton, made an earnest, telling speech. In which
be gave the people little insigh ht into what thew
mig expect. He advised the Young men to 90
ahead and form their companies; to act calmly
but bravely and deterninedly; aud he assured
them the hearts Of the people were with them
he said there never was a better set of Onion men
than the western members In the Convention,
with one exception.
He was prepared TO state, from consultation
with the said Western members that call would
be issued soon from the mountain counties for a
Provisionai Government, and that the people
were determined not to submit to the usurpation.
He advised al present 10 obey the laws of the
city, and assured them that the Mayor was good
Union man. W 40 would do bis duty la this { risis
without fear C favor The meeting adiourued
with great ertausissm, after organizing, a. we
