Those who stay at home can influence
the battle, as we'll as those who are in arms
before the enemy; and the spirit which is
now abroad inIthe land, the discrimination
with which men come together, every.
where, aud with one heart aud onevoice
express their resolve to lay aside ailfpHrty
feelings aud passions, and work together
for the one object of crushing the rebellion
and saving the honor and fortunes of their
country, was strongly exhibited at the
great meeting at Madison Square 5yester-,
day afternoon, which in tone, utterance
/ and numbers WAS allthe lover of his coun-5
try could wish. But for the rawuess of
the air and a threat of rain the attendance
might have been larger, but the speeches
could scarcely have been better, or the
proceedings more animated. Van Buren,
Dickinsoni Bancroft and Tremain-old
democrats all-were yet as optspoken and
earnest as Curtis, Raymond or FIeId--OId
Republicans. 3as.aaso9 bslassE

but a few months ago the loud talk and
audac;ty of.a few copperheads raised great
expecIasiOus in Richmond. These hopes
have been disappointed; the people of the
North have avoided the traps set for them
by corrupt politicians; they have cast of
these mpathizerszwitb treason and now
declare themselves sofeVeryWhere united
