The ladies of Binghamton have been
preparing flag for Mr., Montgomery Of
Vicksburg, formerly editor of the Who
IN that city, in honor of the spirit a nd
loyalty displayed bv his wife in refusing
to permit the rebel flag to be raised upon
her house For this refusal she and her
family were banished. Her husband
was arrested and sentenced to be hanged
for no other alleged ofense except that
of being a Union man. He however
succeeded in escaping. He is now
about to return home to start an out-and-
ont anti-slavery paper, having come to
believe that slavery must be extinguish-
ed in order to close this war.
A public meeting was held last week
at Bing hampton for the presentation of
the fiag-an elegant silk one-aud Dan
iel s. Dickinson presided. John Clapp,
with an appropriate speech, delivered
the flag to Mr.. Montgomery, who re-
piled, giving his history, his purpose and
sentiments, ..and denouncing the infa-
nous conduct Of Copperheads.
Mr. Dickinson was then called for,
and delivered one Of his characteristic
addresses, from which we make the fol-
lowing extracts:
THE CONSERVATIVE MEETING" IN NEW
YORK.
The recent conservative meeting in
the city of New York, called by some
radical ill-natured people riot and a
mob. 1t will be seen, came off about
the time of Lees movement into Penn
syivanla and the raids of Morgan and
others into Ohio and Indiana. There
are thousand evidences COMBINING to
prove that these several movements had
an intimate relation ito each other, and
that each one was we'll understood by
every other, or rather by those who
helped plan the whole. The ominous
givings out which preceded them-tbe
foreign recognition thermometer in Eng
land and France, where the mercury
rose so speedily at this juncture and
slmultaneousiy-the confident and inso-
lent tone of the Confederate press-the
mission of the rebel Stephens to Wash
the movements were inaugurated and
-nrooreeSiner a-I !s~ - -: r,-.s --- -.
failure-the mutterings Of Lee in his in
glorious retreat, that he had not been re-
ceived and supported by his Northern
friends as he expected, and whole cloud
of witnesses besides, proves that the
New York movement was part OF, and
intended to be directly III aid of the
cause of the rebellion. The draft was
mere pretense, and had really no more
to do with stimulating the action of the
mob than the Quaker meeting held Ill
the city a few weeks previous. The
whole was originally q device OF some
of the most wicked and unscrupulous
and pestilent politicians chat ever infest-
ed society The commencement OF the
draft was, by preconcert, made the occa-
sion for the outbreak, because it was
supposed by the managers of the affair
that they could at this time, and upon
this occasion, better embody their molly
crew-better influence the passions oi
the ignorant and prejudiced, and better
turn to political account, and WELD in aid
of the rebellion, riot commenced in an
ostensible resistance to the draft
PURPOSES OF THE OUTBREAK IL NEW YORK
The outbreak in New York originated
with politicians acting upon and infam
ing. and encouraging the very worst ell
ements that ever disfgured society
thieves, ruffians and cut-throats; bawds
pimps and burglars; housebreakers ano
murderers; assassins and the setting
and skimmings of loaterdom, after tn
marketable lazzaroni had been subtract
ed. The contrivers and leaders wh'
opened the box and turned loose thes
offscourings expected them to act pollt
ically-in pretended furtherance
a grand conservative movement
damn Lincoln and his administration; t
hurrah for their friends; to clamor to-
the Constitution and laws-tor ire
speech and the wrongs of Vallandighai
and their Southern brethren, while they
the managers, would fan this flame
madness. and add the true Copperhea
virus to the popular fury by descantln
: upon the hardships and expressions
: leoal restraints, until they might de
Q the mower of the Government and open
assist the rebellion.
THIEVES AND RoBBEEs WITH THE
