A large and enthusiastic meeting Of Union
men was held at their new Hall, Opposite the
fremont House) on Saturday evening. The
addresses delivered by E. S. Williams, Esu,,
c. NJ. Haw1ey, Esq, and Hon. John Went
worth, were each patriotic, eloquent and to
the point. The speakers impressed upon
their hearers the Importance of sustaining
the hands Of the Administration, and Of rally
Ing as one man, in upholding and defending
our noble Goyernmentin tlis,its trying hour.
The only hope the South now has-being
abandoned By all foreign powers-is that the
Coppcrhcad faction, who call themselves
Democrats, will create dissension and diris-
ion in the North, lead Union men astray, and
ere long join the South in the issue.
Mr. Wentworth, in the course of his re-
marks, said the trouble heretofore has been
that one party went to the war, while the
other staid ut home and found flult-" fired
in the rear" But that scheme is about
played out. Under the Conscription Act the
names Of the Democrats and Republicans 20
into the hat together, and if 4 majority Of the
Democrats have staid at home, their present
chance for the war is just that much better
than that Of the Republicans. [Cheers1 The
way the matter stands now they, too, have 4
hand in the war, and as they must take their
chance to fight or pay for substitutes, they
will wheel round, and 60 in for finishing up
tue job as soon as possible.
The speakers Eeyerally advocated the yig-
orous prosecution OF the war, contcnding
