War Meeting at City Hall.
The meeting at tile City Hall last evening was
fully attended. Hon. Stephen Salisbury, in few
rems rks presented the motives which should induce
the young men of our city to enlist.
Rev. Mr. Souther was the next speaker, and in the
course of his remarks, enumerated the various les
which we have learned in the three years at
martial combat. We have learned that we have
government, and that the government is ruling
power. We have learned to love and reverence the
old flag unknown to us before, only on independ-
and holidays. There is now a sacrSdnsSS
about it, and it is to be henceiOrth embematica of
nationality. Whether carried at the head of
armies, wrapped about the form Of the dead
or dying soldier, it is hallowed treasure. Another
lesson learned is the value of republican inst-
tutions Mr. 5. closed with an urgent appeal to lis
hearers to mako themselves a name which shall live
in the memory of postsrity.
Rev. Mr. St John was then introduced, and he
spoke with great eaTnestness and force He com
menoed By remarking that ii Was strange sight to
ministers OF peace stand before meeting whose
object is TO carry tho war, to argue that it is
duty OF men to take implements of in their
hands. In the speakers opinion il the only
place where minister could do his whole duty. In
l76 tho wives and sisters said I'VE will take care
oil the crops 60 to the war, and take place in
the front ranks" So now let the ladies, whose in
huenco is all-pOwerul, exert that influence for the
good oil tho cause.
