esg- MEETING AT THE CoURr HousE.-

rS9s MEETING AT THE COURT HOUSE,
Hon. Jacob B Blair, the Union nominee,
who will be trlumphantly elected to Con
gress to-day, made speech at the Court
House last night. We have no space to
uve even an outline of his remarks. The
speech was good one and was we'll re-
ceiyed. Mr. Blair pledged himself in the
strongest possible manner to the fullest
supuort OF the efforts of the Government
10 nut down the rebellion, even to the ex-
t.nt of '.mortgagiDg the last acre OF Amer
lean soil" He paid high compliment to
the President, saying that if ever an honest
mau and single hearted patriot had sat in
the Executive chair, Abraham Lincoln
was the man. He read the secret Copper
head circular which we publish in auoth-
err column, and commented very APP
priately upon the principles of it's dislOyal
authors and supporters. Mr.. Blair took
occasion TO say that while he had differed
somewhat with the Administration in the
last Congress, as in the matter of the abo-
lition of Slavery in the District of Column
bfa, the enlistment of negoes, and the
Proclamation, yet he now accepted them
as part aud parcel OF the grand plan of
fate against the rebellion, and he meant to
stand by them along side of the Presi-
dent.
AT the close of Mr.. Blair's speech, G. D.
Hubbard, Esq, was called up, and he
made some very excellent and praeti-
cal remarks which elected frequent
and hearty applause. bespoke first Of the
election to day and of the good that full
vote would do of Mr.. Blair's efforts on
behalf of the new State at Washington and
his reliability as man for the times. In
abiding to the secret circular read by Mr..
Blair he said that he rejoiced in tue con-
sciousness of the fact that the days of such
demagoguery as it contained were about
over; that the old regime with all its tricks
of appealing to the people about Abolition :.
ism was played out that the old hacknted
issue OF slavery would soon be, out of poll
tics, for the reason that slavery was now
between the upper and the neither mill
stone and would be ground into complete
annihilation. For one he thanked
God for The prospect of its destruc-
ton. When he saw tho stars and
stripes lowered from Union pole in Rich.

ripened into conversion to what is called
"AbolitiOnism." [strong applause.l
The meeting broke up shortly after nine
o'clock, and we think the spirit of all
present was to do their duty at the polls
to-day.
