Union Meetiuq In putIer County.

A large meeting, composed of men of all
parties, including a very large portion of
Douglas Democrats; men Of character and
standing in the community, who are deter
mined to wipe out the foul blot of the Sd of
August resolutions, was held at Hamilton
yesterday.
A ticket, composed exclusively of Douglas
Democrats was nominated, which the Repub-
licans unanimously agreed to support.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously passed.
"ResolVsd: In the language of Senator
Douglas, whoever is not prepared to sacrifice
party organizations aud platforms on the
altar of his country, does not deserve the
support and countenance of honest people,
and that we this day declare, that we know
and will make no other issue except the one
forced upon us; we must be either for or
against our government-either patriots or
traitors
"ResolUed. That we indorse the resolution
known as the Crittenden resolution, which
is as follows:
"That the present deplorable civil war has
been forced upon the country by the dis
upionists of the Southern States now in re-
volt against the Constitutional Government,
and in arms around the Capitol.
"'That in this national emergency Con-
gress, banishing all feeling of mere passion
or resentment will recollect only its duty to
waged upon our part in any spirit of op.
| preston, nor for any purpose of conquest or
suhjugaton, nor for the purpose of over
throwing or interfering with the rights or
established institutions of the States but to
defend and maintain the supremacy of the
! Constitution, and to preserve the Union,
with all the dignity, equality and rights of
the several States uuimpaired and that as
soon as these objects are accomplished, the
war ought to cease
"ReSoIUed: That we indorse the resolution
known as the McOlernand resolution, which
is as follows:
"'That this House pledge itself to vote any
amount of money and number of men which
may be necessary to secure the speedy and
effectual suppression of said rebellion, and
| the permanent restoration of the Federal
authority everywhere within the limits and
jurisdiction of the United States.
"ReSotved, In the language Of the Hon.
Joseph Holt, we are for this Union without
conditions, one and indivisible, now and for
ever; for its preservation at any and every
cost of blood and treasure against all its as
sailants, and against any aud every compro-
mise that may be proposed to be made under
the guns of the rebels
"ResolVed, That when the authority of the
Federal Government shall have been re-
established, and peaceful obedience to the
| Constitution and laws prevails, we shall be
ready to confer and cooperate with all loyal
citizens throughout the Union, in Congress
or in convention, for the consideration of all
supposed grievances, the redress of all
wrongs, and the protection of every right,
yielding ourselves, and expecting all others
to yield to the will of the people, as consti-
tutionally and lawfully expressed.
"RssolUed: That c., L. Vallandigham, by
his refusal to vote all necessary supplies o.
money and men for the suppression of thi!
rebellion as requested by the people of But
Ter County, at their Mass Convention, helt
in Hamilton, on the 25th day of April last
is guilty of gross and shameless disrespect u
the wishes of the people of this county, an,
that we condemn with feelings of indigna
ton his tactious and traitorous conduct il
opposition to the welfare of this country.
"ReSolUed: That we will not inquire int
the distinction between those men at tn
South who, believing in the right of Seces
sion, are in open rebellion against their Gov
eminent, and those men at the North VIII
declare that such right exists, and that b
the exercise of the same. our Government
may be destroyed; and consequently we de
nounce the resolutions passed by conven
. tion held in this city on the Sd of Angus
1861 as base in their inception, ruinous /
their tendency, disgraeeful to our county
and if carried out, destructive of all our il
teIests; and that we will prove by our vote
at the coming election, that Butler Count
repudiates both the resolutions and the car
didates connected with them.
"ReSoIUed. That the manly, iDdependeI
! and patriotic course of DR.. j. P p. Peck
sustaining the Government and the Uniol
through tine columns of the Hamilton Tel
: graph, is by US most cordially approved"
