Great Union Demonstration.


Masonic BALL is crammed and damned to-
night With Union patriots--Col. Hudson in
the chair. The ycomanry Of tho country have !
COME up to support the Government. Hon. |
John NJ. Watson favored n vigorous prosccu- |
tion Of the war; was opposed to IN armistice. |
than IT should close In my way dfshonorablc
to us, lie would sacrifice them and his life too
IN upholding our banner. They talked Of
Yankees; did they know Gen. Lyon, the first
n,artyr in the West? lie led our forces to
victory after victory, and when lle laid down
opened, 1t was asccrtainsd that lie had left
SS0, eco to his. country. That's the way the
Yankees do It. Here the house gave three
immense cheers for Gen. Lyon: And Gen.
Foster was another Yankee. They say the
of % Tey took heir cannon @ 1' md
dragged thcm three miles through the mud,
and captured Ncwbenf, There was Jet
anothcr-Gcu. Butlcr-all the world knows
him, and honors him, and all trnitors latc
him. The same men that prosecuted Jackson
would mob Butler if they darcd; but he lives,
statesniansl,ip and charity will long live when
kissing traitors crawl in dirt and slime.
Senator Brown OF Randolph wanted to know
why such men IS Brownlow, Andy johnson
and Ethcridgc were denounced It was be-
cause they were loyal to their flag and the na-
lIewould say that NC had driven these traitors
from covert, sncaking disloyalty to open trca-
son, and now VIC would fight them In open
day. Has it come to this, that none but d
driver must be President? Has It come to
this, that no State but ViTEinia or South Caro-.
lima must furnish President without causing
rcyolutions bfust tho great Northwest,
with its tecming millions, be ignored? They
are mortified at the idea Of negro equality. It
is because they fear It, and they have reason
to fear it, as the niggeEs might come up from
Louisville and ruin the morals Of the Demo-
cratic party. When you find white man SO
Internally mean as to link his destiny.with the
negro, you will find that the negro has been
cheated in tho operation. He thought he
could look through the cloud that orerhurg
| our country, and see the bright breaking Of
morn. The country all was ours. Every
never would consent to its being parted.
Hon. Reuben Riley believed that it VAS
slavery that consplTed against the Govern
ment, and when that WIS crushed tho rebel
lion would die: The two arc one. hili one
and the other dies. Thepolcy Of these traitor:
was to divide and conquer. They got thei1
cue from JEFF: Davis. Hence they raise cry
against New England. They were eithel
-knavcs or fools. They were skulkers ane
towards, stealing into dark lantern lodges ans

sometimes *sButtcrnuts," bqtalways traitoEs
JcG Davis told the truth when he said the,
we're dogs and slaves. Douglas told the trutl
when he said iii this contest there were nj
ncutrals. There were only patriots an'
traitors.
