Evening Meeting.
NORTH SIDE.
Here the meeting WAS opened by the intro
dueton Of Hon 9. F. Linder, bY the Chair
man, Mr. Walker.
Mr. Under began his remarks by calling up
on the young men to rally to the call OF the
President He considered this the most dan
gerous crisis that had arisen in the affairs Of
wish to urge the. people to 80 forth with
a determined purpose to DO or die. 1t
WAS not the people Of the South
who had inaugurated this tratricidat
conflict. but, 1t was the work Of taoss
politicians who were too small to be great in
this great county, and their deyilish coun-
sells. They bad dragooned the people, and
the people we're easily dragooned b} the unit
ed efforts Of men as earnest, aud determined
succeed in the overthrow Of tbs best govern
ment man ever lived under.
He commenced voting In 1872, and voted
for Andrew Jackson that stern cid patriot,
who had some curious notions, and among
them1yas the idea that traitors Tg5e Eg[ asserT:
Carolina cut up her didoes he told her she
Inust behave herself, or he wou1d spank her.
He had read Mr.. Lincoln's speeches carefully,
Two or three times, and had failed to find in
them any thing warrantipg the rebellion. No
it Vas not the cause, it Was the ambitious
lore power.
He loved this country. Its great CONNER
cial, agricultural, and financial prosperity
we're things to be proud of, and he hoped to
see the day when restored to her original
strength, her power would be able to reach
acrots The ocean, and aid The distressed and
an.zn trndden- He hoped he might be spared
to zee that day
DR. DANIEL BRAEARD.
Mr. Linder was followed by Dr.. Rrainard
DR.. Bra1nard remarked that he did not pro-
pose to 60 into any history of the country.
Hc vas sure the people understood that well
enough. He Was eorry SO gfeat q feeling Of
depression had fallen upon the people Of the
| country, be thought without reason. It was
| true that We had met with some reverses, bnt
| only look back over the successes of the plst
year and see il we had not cause to be thaus-
| 1u1. Only few months 1go and Columbus
| was possessed by the rebels, bidding defiance
to any attempt to Traverse the Mississippi
| Nov We have forts and garrisons all DOM the
| river and an along the coast away round to
| its month. Our army at Richmond has q po-
sltton which i: can hold until tine rinforce-
! men1s shall arrive. The Southern coafederacy
have staked their all in the battle to be fought
there, and he thought that it was better for the
North for them TO be together If We whip
them, which We shall do. Then they haveuot
| smother peg TO hang On.
He Thought it somewhat doubtful il another
| great battle took place in the Vest. He
! thought the circumstances under which men
went to the war now, much better IAN those
that existed for those now there. 1t will be
cooler, and the men Wi1l be in better health,
end have less ditch digging to do. Tue war
| seiZe rebel property, and to feed our men on
rebel ground with rebel provisions. In the
South, men loyal to the old government, are
perEccuted, despoiled, hung. Shall We not
use the same means. He landed the new
mode Of carving on the war. He Thought the
last Congress had done more for the cause oil
liberty. than any previous one that ever sat.
No more fear Of offending the brothers oftn
sou!h. No more guarding Of rebel property.
Dr. Brainard was folio wed BY the Rev. Mr.
Strong OF the 4th Michigan regiment, an elo-
tor some twenty minutes, and made tonch
ing appeal to those Who had relatives
and and friends in the armies .au of tn! tn!
support the government in iss hour Of grea'
need. Mr. Strong has spent many months
ingly ot the hardships, and priVations endor
ed BY our gallant soldiers. He declared tht
soldiers we're in earnest now, and war in al
its terrible reality, was to be the watchwor6
tencefo1th.
Rev. DR.. Eddy followed Mr. Strong. HI
