Union County star and Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1859-1864, 1863-09-25

The People Waking Up!
Our only fear Of the next State Flee
tion, has arisen from the superior activity
and energy Of our opponents, by which We
were barely outvot-d, last year. The
past week or two has witnessed the upri-
ring Of our people to vigilant and deter
mined work, all over the State.
Notwithstanding the storm and cold of
last Saturday, scores more of people
from Lewisbnrg were anxious to attend
the Miffiinburg meeting, than found a
way to ride. But over 30 carriages star
ted off in procession, with music, flags,
banners, and the young ladies' with various
patriotic representations. This spontane-
Gus outpouring, numbering 40 wagons on
arriving, took Mitflinburg by surprise
The gathering was the largest held there
for years, and was addressed, until late
hour, by Judge Adams. of Kentucky. and
Judge Kelley. of Philad., whose remarks
IN ode very good impression. The meet,
ing continued late, and they returned To
Lswisburg at an advanced time in the
evening, when they addressed a good au.
dIenc- at In irrendent Hall.
At No. l School, in Kelly, same eve
ming, housefull stayed until III clock
20 hear from Vim. G. Lawson, Esq,
Charles ID. Brewer, Esq, &c, and ad-
journed until Saturday evening at Spots
Monday evening. there was large con-
course of the very best material at Milton
Delaware and Lewis sent in an imposing
delegation. Bitter cold as it was. Messrs
Adams, Kelley, and Reese had the street
full of interested auditors until nearly ii
O'Clock. A fiat load went, by the canal,
from Lewisburg.
TUESDAY, was the Union County meet
ing, and although the farmers were very
numerous, there WAS an advent of visitors
as large as We have seen here except dur
ing Presidential Elections and Commence
ments. Little systematic effort was made
to call out the people-yet they came, in
all modes of conyeyances. From Brady
and White Deer. they appeared in a fine
procession, with flags, notices, and BAN
ners-and after meeting commenced, n
delegation from Milton also came in good
style. There was a large foot procession
Of 1--WE should say) 1900 to the College
Grove, where the stand was erected, but
only a fraction of the people proceeded in
that form. The Officers Of the meeting
were as follows:
Presideni-Geo. F. Miller ESQ.
Vice Presidents-Rev. ]. Casper Bucher.
Jacob MCurlry, John Noll, Jacob smith,
Henry Sander, James Kelly, Aaron w.
Smith. Alfred Kn,ass. VIM &. Duncan, John
Grove. John Kunkle. Samuel Guise, r. ". B.
Lincoln, Francis Wilson, Samuel Haunt.
Thomas Arbuckle. Michael Kleckner, David
Shafer, WIN. Roshong, George Huhl. Daniel
Fullmer. John Srees.
secretaries-James Marshall, R. V. Glover,
Chas. $. James. Chas. E. Haus.
Speakers-Geo. A. Coffev, Esq, of
Philadelphia, Hon Frank Bound of Mil
ton, and Col. A. X Mcclure of Chambers
burg. Hon. John G. kunkle passed mp,
Monday, to Danville, on business, and We
have not heard from him since. The
meeting continued until after 5, when it
adjourned.
Evening found Independent Hall cram
med to overfowing, and the same speakers
chained the attention of the audi ence un-
til 10 o'clock. A glee club gave some
patriotic songs in superior manner
The good order of the crowd during the
day, and the close attention paid the
speakers, were most commendable.
w.psEsDAr, VIC went down to Sunbu.
ry where Messrs. Adams and Kelley came,
from very satisfactory visit to Danyille
the preceding evening. Point and Nor.
fhumberland sent in large delegation in
form, in the best style, and a substantial
gathering was made from other narts of
the ncighborhOod. Judge Kelley spoke
at length, and Judge Adams held the
crowd as We passed up at 4, p. NJ.
The Democrats spend twice the mon
ey and time, to get up their meetings,
that our party do-but we are satisfied the
good RESULTS are with us. Theirs is
mostly bought and manufactured interest
ours is real, abiding, and indicative of
a powerful force in reserve for Election
Day.
