Union Mass Convention.

A call has been issued for "Union Mass Convention" to be held at Hartford, on the stb of January, for the purpose of consultation and organization preparatory to the Spring Election, and to nominate State Ticket, if deemed advis. able.' It says :-
 "All loyal citizens of the State, who are deter. mined to sustain the integrity of the Union, pre-. the United States; and to support the Adminis- tration IN VIGOROUS PROSECUTION OF THE WAR for the suppression of Rebellion-the Punish ment of Traitors-and the restoration of peace and harmony, throughout the whole country, are included in this call"
 The call is broad enough to include patriotic men of ell parties. It is signed by large num- Der of very prominent and influential citizens Democrats, Republicans, Bell men, &c. Among tho Democrats ars Ebenezer Jackson and Moses Culver, of Middletown; Judge Croswel, of New Haven !. John c. Palmer, David Clark, James H. Ashmead, James T.. Pratt, of Hartford; Roger Rufus L. Baker, of Windham; Vim. H. Noble, of Bridgeport E. W. N. Starr and N. V. Frazi- CT, of Middletown; J. G. Beckwith, of Litch6eld; George ": Peet, of Salisbury; Jared D. Rich. mond, of Plain6eld Moves Billings and W. w. Billings, of New London Charles Atwater, Jr., and David J. Peck, of New Haven. Among the leading Republican signers are Judge Ellsworth, David Gallup, John P. Eaton, John H. Hubbard, Abiiah Catlin, Ex-Governor Trumbull, Mayor Ravens of New London, Geo. w. Benedict, John E.. Trumbull, Thomas w. Williams, G. H. Hol- lister, c. c. Tyler, s. W. Kellogg, Geo. D. Wad. hams of Wolcottville, Henry Barnard, Thomas Balknap, D. W. Camp and others.
 That there are some, who, while they do no, feel ct liberty, through past associations and pre- judices, to enrol themselves underline Republican flag, bat who are none the less loyal on that ac count, and who ore strenuous supporters of the Administrations in its efforts to suppress the Re bellon, punish the traitors and restore peace and harmony throughout the whole Country, we have no doubt and for these we understand this Uni on Mass Convention to be called.
 We trust that delegates of such character will llsbesent to it from all the towns in this Coun ty, that spirit ef harmony and the principles o Right will control it's action, and that it will give us al, Republicans and Democrats, chance tc Mnis on suitable platform and ticket, which shall represent nothing but Loyalty to the Gov
 
 at all hazards the integrity of the Union. The names of the siguers to the call are stuff s'ent te assure us that nothing underhanded is meant in tho calling of this Convention, tho VIC could have wished thxt it had been called for the same day as the Republican Convention, instead of week before. But so fur as we can now zee. we know of no good reason why we ma; not all o;p forces against the sympathizers with Secession as we'll in this State as elsewhere.
