H@THE WAR MEETING AT TRIADELPuIA.
"A war meeting was held at TriadeIphia
yesterday afternoon. a train of cars full
of people, including baud of martial mu-
sic, left this city at l.3O P. NJ. on tue Hemp.
field railroad reaching Triadelphta abont2 3.
The meeting was held in a grove near the
town, where quito large number of peo-
pie had assembled. A brass band had been
procured tor the occasion and iutersperred
the proceedings with music.
DR.. Logan moved the appointment of
David Armstrong, as Chairman ofthe meet
ing, and F. E. Foster aud w. B. Smith,
were appointed as Secretaries.
Crane who proceeded to address the meet
ing He SAID we had grown up under a
free government aud we did not know
what It was to live under any other. 1t
would be crime to allow this government
to go from us. He spoke of the influence
of the ladies upon enlsstments. The
ladies could mashal all the men
in the county to the battlefield
If sweetheart told lover, a mo-
Their son, or wife husband, to shout
der musket in defense of his country he
would go. If told not to go he would
not go. The women in the tender
ness and kinduess OF their hearts are doing
more to discourage enlistments than all the
demagogues in the country. There is no
reason in the world why you, fellow-citi-
zens, should not join your brothers in tue
field. We have assembled here to-day to
fad out whether you will form n part of
the grand army of the Uuion. He spoke
of tue tyranny of the minions of JEFF Davis,
He had himself been compelled 10 fly from
them and seek refuge with those with
whom he could express his honest couvic-
tions aud enjoy his opinions. He spoke of
a class of sympathising secessiouists vino
were too cOwardly to go into the ranks of
the rebel army but who are going about
insidiousIy among US doing all they can
TO discourage chose engaged in the cause of
the Union. Such men, ifthey do not cease
their traitorous conduct will have to
be passed beyond the lines of JEFF Davis
Another class equally obnoxious, is grow
ing up amoug US. They have discovered
that this is IL wa for the abolition of sla-
very. These men are not with us-they
are against US and all such will hereafter
be Intended to by the rigid measures of
Government.
Tbere is no reason why this rebellion
should not be put down in short :ime.
After you take off the loyal people OF the
loyal slave States, the rebels canuol, to save
their sOnls put more than a million of men
in the field. We can put from nineteen to
twenty millions against them, aud by mere
physical power, crush them out. We only
want a few sacrifices and little more en-
ergy and decision. If we obey the call of
our country now, all will soon be well.
Mr.. Crane spoke of Garlic and how he
had basely betrayed the people who had
trusted him. But the day of deiiverauce
from old Virginia would yet come if the
people were true to their trust, to them
selves and their great country.
ar. Crane spoke quite at length, dwell
ing upon the new State add the taithless-
ness of Garlic. lie concluded by another
appeal to the ladies.
Gov. Pierpoint said he was tired and
wearied aud hoarse with speaking, and
were it not for sense of duty he would
not attempt to address the people. he said
this was not political meeting. The great
object we have inview is to see what means
we will have to resort to for the purpose of
saving the country. You have all ascot
atsd with your ideas ofhnppiness,p peace and
the glory of your country. You have al
ways been proud to claim that you were m
American citizen. You have read OF the
carly struggles of your fathers, who threw
off the yoke of old England. How you
fired up when you read of the patriotism of
your glorious ancestors. They despised
the reign of kings and nobility. You see
in the commencement of that struggle
thatthere was a division. Some looked up
on free government as an experiment and
not with favor. These were known as
tories aud they were opposed to general
franchise. They were 10 favor of bowling
the sycophantic knee to power. The pow
er Of these men was broken aud destroyed
and now look at the result. To-day we
have the greatest country in the world
WHY'S this so. IL is on account of dem
ocratir institutions. We have all been sat-
isfied to continue to live under these insti-
tutiDns. but there has arisen in this conutry
a great rebellion. The rebels have enjoy
ed the right of suffrage the Same as we
have, and all other rights, but from some
uuaccouutable cause they desire to get rid
of our system of free government. They
have retained their old notions of aristo.
cratic society ever since the reyolutinn.-
They say that the working classes are the
mui stills of society. They say that as a
principle capital should own labor. They
say that slaveay aud democracy are iucom
pa:ible. These declarations were made 10
excite the people with view of breaking
up the government. The States that want
ed 70 secede never lost any slaves. The
negro question was only apretext. These
people say that in consequence OF their Pc
cuiiar institutions, they must have what
they call stronger government. We all
know what that means. They want mon
