THE MASS MEETING ON SATURDAY

The near approach of the exhibition en- masss
Of the patriotic sentiment Of New.York, under
the auspices Of the Loyal National League Is
already awaking anew the enthusiasm that
the assault on Sumter aroused throughout the
country, aud is deepening the feeling in favor
of cordial, earnest union at this moment OF
all who place the cause Of the Republic hrst
and foremost.
The rapidity with which these Leagues are
spreading should inyigorate the confidence OF
true citizens in the perpetuity OF our instltu-
tons, to the same extent that it dashes the
hopes and excites the malgnty of the degen.
crate Democrats who, after plotting with the
British Minister to secure foreign intervention
in our domestic affairs, think it necessary to
boast that they know not the meaning OF the
word loyalty--as expressive OF the duty OF an
American citizen to the Government Of bis own
country.
The defeat of the second generation Of Hart
ford Secessionists prefgures the defeat every
where of the traitorous faction that, by their
leaders, have invoked British interference TO
assist them in the betrayal of their country;
and their open treachery is disposing the honest
members OF tho Democratic party to unite in
loyal national leagues.
In Boston, large meeting has been held under
the same pledge, and it is announced that from
Philadelphia delegation two hundred strong
will arrive on Saturday in time for the meeting.
Among the replies received from all parts
of the North, East, and West none breathe
deeper interest in the effort to unite Demo.
Gratis and Republicans for the support of the
Government, than the letters from the army.
What they think Of Copperheadism in the
Army of the Potomac may be seen by the fol.
lowing letter from MaiOr-Gen. George Stone
man, which has been furnished us by the Com
mittee:
