The mass Union meeting held in the Square

four stands and immense cheering at all Of
them.
The widest enthusiasm for the Union cause
prevailed throughout, from beginning to the
end. Speeches were made by Mr.. Brough,
Gen. Sigel, and many Of our home orators.
The meeting cannot fail Of having good ef:

Gen. McClelIan has written to Charles J..
Bidd1e-said to be forgery, but probably
true-denying the assertion In the Pfe.s. that
be is In favor Of Curtin. He states that in a
recent conversation with Woodward, be
found the 1atter's views agreeing with his
Own, and he regards his election Is e.
genital to the interests Of the milton. He
understands he is in favor Of the war till
military power Of the rebellion was destroy
ed, but that the policy Of the war should be
in accordance with the principles Of human
ity. In conclusion, he says: II would, we're
1t in my power, give to Judge Woodward my
voice and vote" This letter is placarded all
over the city, and Is intended to influence the
soldiers vote. 1t will fall. The soldiers are
for Curtin. Mcclellan cannot help Wood
ward, but will hurt Mcclellan. Tho letter
proves the General to be a puppct in the
hands of politicians.
A leading politician Of this city bet this
evening 1900 that Curtin's majority would
be over 10000. The feeling in this city Is in
tense. Union men are confident Of hesyy
yote, Numbers Of descrters will be caught
at the polls. The Copperheads have colo
nized extensively. There is good news from
the interior. Immense Union meetings at
Eatto and elsewhere.
Gov. Curtin is In town. The result is not
doubtful. Expect news Of = glorious vio.
tory, and be sure Mcclellan no longer leads

To-day the great battle Of the ballot box
will be fought in the States of Iowa. Ohio
and Pennsy1yania-a battle upon which
hinge results as vital to the Life of the
Republic as the contest Of arms that
threatens from the mountains around Chat
tanooga. The great question for which
we have been fighting nearly these three
years is again at issue. Can the Republic
maintain its integrity? Has it the Inherent
Strength to hold all its parts intact, and
compel refractory rebels to return to their
allegiance? That isthe question upon which
men will vote to-day in the three great
States we hare mentioned. The victory
of the Copperheads will drive the wedse
still nearer to the heart Of the country: the
victory ofthe Union men will be triumph
OF liberty and q moral reinforcement to
our troops in the field, powerful though
silent, inspiriting and cheering. We have
no fears for the result. We look forward
to decided triumph oyer Northern trai-
tors, to be followed BY new victories oyer
their allies on Southern fields, and we con-
tldcnty expect to announce to our readers
IN our next issue, the election OF Stone and
Curtin and Brough. This will ensure
peace and harmony in their States. The
contrary result sows the seeds OF discord.
and we fear Of civil strife in our own bor-
.ders.
