If the great demonstration of Saturday
proved anything at all, it was that the hearts
of the people are right upon the question Of
the Union Such masses of people, at this
season Of the year, are not to be gathered
together upon any mere considerations of
party success. Such enthusiastic determ-
nation as was there displayed has its source
and motive far down below the surface of or
dinary incentive to action. 1t springs from
the heart, and lives in the indomitabe will Of
the people, and can only be evoked in all its
majestic strength and power when great oe-
casions demand its exercise. The times
have furnished such occasion now, and the
nation is stirred as never nation was be-
fore. The people see, in the terrible emer.
gency that the life Of the Republic is threat
ened that scoundrels and traitors are at its
vitals, with the weapons of destruction in
their hands and Liberty, usulted, bleeding
and PROSTATE, calls the loyal millions Of hel
yotaries to her rescue. They have heard
her cries, and all over the land they are
hurting the assassins from before her, and
rearing over her temple-dome the ensign Of
broader and more enlarged patriotism,
which ere long will startle the world and
make the kings and monarchs of Europe
tremble as they gaze upon the workings OF
its marvellous power
The mighty swell Of patriotic enthusiasm
that filled the breasts and energised the pur-
poses of the people in this city on Saturday

but the echo, as it were, of the vast, thunder.

and for Right, as they are embodied in the

the solemnity Of its demand, in the grandeur
OF its object aud the righteousness Of its pur.
pose, the power Of Freedom has silenced all
party disputatious, and moulded the minds
OF men into a loftier patriotism and higher
aim than partzan successes have vet com.
manded. The salvation of the country, lis

Tue HONEST sincerity and earnestness Of
purpose manifested by Mr.. SNIrugRs at the
great Union Meeting on Saturday has won
ior him troops of friends and supporters who
previously had never known-except by re
putation-the character of the man. The
unprecedented applause that greeted him
during the delivery of his speech, shows the
esteem and appreciation in which he is held
by the people of Wilmington. The candid
and ingenious manner in which he answered
the question in relation to the Fifth Della
ware Regiment, secured to him scores of
votes from the volunteers, who saw in his
frankness the evidence Of his attachment to
the soldiers and devotion to their interests.

IT WOULD BE an act of gross injustice to
refuse to let the soldiers come home to vote
on next election day. Who better enti-
tied to decide tho great issue at the ballot
box than those brave men who have stood
with their faces to the foe, upon the field ?
1t is claimed that the soldiers are all Demo-
Gratis. Well, so much the better Every
real Democrat is loyal man. and will vote
on the side of his country. Nobody but a
rank Copperhead opposes the Government
in its present calamity; and we believe there
are very few of them in the army at present.
We beg the Secretary of War-as an act Of
simple justice-to let the Delaware yolun-
teers come home to vote.
Delaware State journal and statesman., 1863-10-23

1T Is BECOMING quite q common dodge with
the Copperheads to dub their prominent
men Christians Stouewall Jackson was
called Christian, yet he shed his brothers
blood in war brought on by the treason of
himself and others. Gen. Polk is called
Christian, notwithstanding he threw Off his
robes of hypocrisy, to enter the arena of
blood, and applaud the crueties of his seces-
sion followers in East Tennessee. General
Mcclellan is called a Christian, albeit he
did what he could to overthrow the loyal
government of his native State, and place in
power an enemy to the Union. Charles
Brown is called Christian although he is
striving to resist " the powers that be-" and
thus invite upon his head the maledictions
of high Heaven. Nallandigham, the out.
cast, was heralded as Christian and yet he
is now lonely wanderer, away from home
and friends, because of his violent attempts
to destroy the nation, and bring ruin, misery
and sorrow upon millions of people, contrary
to every principle Of patriotism and Chris
iiauity. Truly such fellows are "hard
Christians just such as his Satanic majesty
