cosld kill as many men as any one.
Col. 1. B. Bowdsh, on entering the hall, was
loudly called for. He said that two or three years
ago, he undertook 70 souni the noe Of alarm
Union-saving hen was at a discount; but the time
has come when somebody must be Union savers.
He had been one Of the hardest Of the hards-had
believed as we'll as he could that the negro
born to scrvtude, and his condition improved by it,
but having stood up in his day for the rights
of the South he was now in another position.
Since the South has made sectional
issue and a sectional government, it became him,
as an honest man, since sections to be selected,
to stand by the section to which he belonged. His
lot was with the North. The flag and insti utions
of our country are in danger. Civil war is begun,
aud he knew of no polite method Of carrying on
tho war. He was for aPpropriating every
dollar and for sending every available
man, if necessary, 10 settle this question.
For himself be had neither money men, but
mis- wife had man, and if he would agree not
get hit in the back she was ready to send him.
Samuel Huntington earnestly urged the men of
Burlington to como to their couutry's help.

Guards we're not dead yet and that those who

tain the Government of their adopted country.

names of trenty-ore volunteers were read, and
subscriptions to the amount of two thousand dol
lars. which was made over thee thousand by |
rddtions during the next day. We publish the
list elsewhere.
