UNION MEETING AT PATRIOT.

UNION MEETING AT PATRIOT.
Mr.. HARPEs:-A very respectable
body of the citizens of Perry and WAL
nut townships convened at Patriot. on
Friday evening, the 9Th instant, for
the purpose Of hearing addresses from
Hon. Joseph Bradbury and s. A.
Nash, Esq. Each Of whom were pres
ent and delivered speeches Of great
power. Mr.. Bradbury delivered an
able and convincing speech on some Of
the principal questions which agitate
the people Of our common country and
Of great moment, in the future Of this
mighty Republic; and at which. the
audience was highly grati6ed. When
Mr.. Bradbury had concluded his re-
marks, Mr.. Nash was called for and
responded in very eloquent, patriotic
speech, IN which he held the attention
Of the entire audience for more than
one hour. After Mr.. Nash had con-
cluded his speech, the meeting broke
up in perfect good order. Perhaps il
is proper to state in this connection,
that the Union men in Perry township
are thoroughly aroused, and are aware
that this is "the age Of ballots" as
we'll as bullets, and that the approach
ing election is one Of vast importance.
undoubtedly the most impsrtant that
has occurred since the organization Of
the State. Therefore, our friends
throughout the county need entertain
no fears as to the result Of the election
in this township. / will just Safe that
G. L. VallaB aBdighsm, who swpe upon
the altar of his country that he would
support the Constitution Of the United
States, and who alterward, disregard
ing the solemn oath which he had ts-
ken, refused to vote money and men
to crush this bloody and unhol! rebel
lion, has but few friends here; for the
great majority Of the people IN this
township arrived at the clear and correct
conclusion long since that it has been,
and is still, the chief and urceasiug
aim Of that vile traitor, TO sap the
foundation and overthrow this mighty
Republic, the finest Government under
the canopy Of the skies.
Consequently, the entire Union ticket
will receive a larger majority in this
township. on the second Tuefdsy OF
October next. than has ever been given
at any previous election. PERRY.

Ex-CAPTAIN OF HOME GUARDS.

SThe following language was
published by Mr.. Vallandigbam 10 the
Cincinnati Enquirer on the 10th Of
November. 1860. and found in the 91st
page of his record, IF any one or
more Of the States OF this Union
should at any time Secede, for reasons
of the suticiency and justice Of which,
before God and the great tribunal Of
History they alone may Judge, much as
/ should deplore it. l never would as a
Representative in Congress Of the Uni

whereby one drop of American blood

dier JAMES M. HoDoE, OF the 4tb Vir-
