The Meeting at DOdgeville.
The Union meeting at Dodgeville, satur-
lay, was well attended, and one of the best
If the canvass. Mr.. Kynett made an elo-
luent and telling speech. Although it
over three hours in the delivery,
t was listened to with the closest attention
throughout.
rs The Copperhead meeting at Middle
own on Saturday last was more numer-
ously attended than might have been ex-
pected. There were, upon accurate
count" three hundred and sixty men and
two hundred and twenty women and chill
iren in attendance, all of whom looked as
if they didn't know why they came.
Mr., w. B. Jones in his Grafton took an
even start with the creator, passed through
the garden of Eden, witnessed the forma-
ton of Adam; and the creation of Eve: he
came all the way from Paradise to Middle
town to tell of the woes that follow "man's
to the law. This tour, how
ever, might have been saved him by sim
ply reading few letters from brethren in
the South.
1t was hoped that Mr.. Jones would enter
the Ark with Noah, come out at the little
door with the olive branch in hand and
present the same to Jefferson Davis. But
Jones didn't do it, He had no comfort
to offer Mr.. Davis, no consolation for his
Democratic (?) friends. There was no dis
loyalty in Mr.. Jones remarks, and of
course no applause from his hearers.
Mr.. Jones 'sgave out" before coming to
the subject in hand, leaving its discussion
to Judge Mason. The Judge started off
with palpable truth. He said he was no
orator and proved his statement as he
went along! Owing, we presume, to this
his deficiency, he had fetched along 'the
niger" whom he leant upon throughout
the struggle, never once letting go his hold.
The Judge made several assertions which
lacked entirely the merit of his first state
ment, and finally subsidized as did the
speaker who preceded him, without the
slightest demonstration of applause or APP
prevail from first to last.
The meeting was conducted in the most
until it fell by its own weight at
between three and four o'clock in the af-
ternoon.
Judge Mason seemed disposed to ride
into Office upon the shoulders of the niger,
but he has already over-ridden him, he has
given him no rest. The niger is stuck
cred OUT" the Judge must come down.
ANOTHER "BRIcK."-OneD Daniel futile,
D. D., edits paper styled the Divinity
in the State of Ohio. We don't
know whether he is any relation to General
Tuttle, nor what right he has to "doctor"
divinity. But it is plain from what he
writes that he is a most excellent and
pious man, according to Butternut inter-
probation! We should deem him quite
to teach Copperheads the COM
plete doctrines Of the breed. He has no
need to go to bed with them to indicate
what he is. What he writes shows deci-
sively that he is entitled to a 'sfront seat
wherever Copperheads writhe and hiss
their blasphemies. Here is a specimen of
the kind of talk in which he INDUCES. He
is drawing parallel between himself and
the editor of the Cleveland Leader, and
says:
He is under the dropping of the throne,
while I am an independent freeman. He
seeks the crumbs of pap and power; re-
ceive my living fresh from the virgin earth.
He fears the Gods, Jehovah, y Lincoln,
Lucifer, Beelzebub, and their 'sstaff." I
don't care continental, or a Bible "God
damn for any of them, any further than I
am sensible they benefit humanity. He
edits the Leader, l publish the Divinity
Physician. He accuses me of blasphemy:
1 accuse him of being guilty of Chris
tlanity and hypocrisy. He is disunion
Abolitionist; I am Constitutional Union
Peace Democrat. He, I think, is religious

could go further than that? How could
