Union County star and Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1859-1864, 1863-09-04
Hear Gen, Meade !

and hundreds of distinguished spectators,
and the affair closed with the loudest
huzz,s for Gen Meade and Gov. Curtin.
We copy the views of Gen. Meade as t.
who should be elected Governor of this
State-a position, which, from immedi-
ate proximity to the seat of war, is second
only to that of Presideu'-for 1t is mat
ter which deeply concerns every mau who
daily risks life itself for the salvation
of our nation and of free government.
Gen. MEADE we'll and truly said, in reply
to Gen. CRAWFORD;
"I am very glad, sir, that you have
mentioned your distinguished guest, the
Governor of Pennsylvania. | have q
personal knowledge of hi, patriotic efforts
in behalf Of the soldiers. To him the
country is indebted for putting into the
field, 10 its hour of sorest need, this splen-
did corps, and have watched with pleas
ure and satisfaction the sclicitude he has
always shown to see that all its interests
and wants are attended to. l have been
with him on the occasions when he has
visited the officers and men from our
State, aud know that they are indebted
to him for many comforts, and that the
country is indebted to him for words of
eloquence which he addressed to them TO
inspire them with increased patriotism
and courage | am gta,ifcd that he is
here to witness this presentation, ami /
heartily join nHh you, SIR, in the hope that
his feiior citizens UiU remember on etection
day his services in pron,otiny tie Interests
Of the country and the suppression IF The
Rebellion. Long continued applause.]
"Affairs and events now look as if this
unhappy war might be brought to a hap
py termination. | have to request you,
gehtlemen who are 10 civil life, that, when
you return home, you will spare no efforts
to make the people understand that all
we want arc men to .fA up our ranks.
Give US the numbers, aud the war will soon
be concluded. 1 think the Rebels are
now satisfied that their struggle is only a
matter of time, as We have the force on
our side, aud that, as soon as they see
that We are bringing out that force in
earnest, they will yield"
The views of these Generals are those
of nearly all their officers and soldiers.
Specimens Of their Lies.
No Que attempts to refute dH the lies
of the CoPperhesd orators or papers, for
when you hunt them out Of ono they will
dodge iato another, and will keep at the
game as long as their father the old Ser
peaut (uot the "brazen'') lives to inspire
them. For example. An educated young
Irishmau, disguised at the prostitution Of
Freedoms Flag to cover slave-selliug
pens and protect slave-carryiug ships,
wrote spirited poem, headed
".dH hail thou Fauntiny lie"
We never saw this poem in more than one
Republican newspaper, but have seen it in
a dozen or twenty Copperhead journals,
all of whom conceal the true origin and
aim Of the verses, aud falsely try to make
it appear it was written by GREELEY, to
insult the very Flag under which his
friends arc fighting the Shareholders
War. The author is Tammany Hall
Democrat-supported Buchanan in 1856,
and Douglas in '60-and if be has "turn-
ed Abolitionist" since, he has plenty Of
company. But not one Copperbead jour-
nal will tell the truth as to ,oho wrote the
poem, or ,rhot it is aimed against.
-"Another of the same sort" is an
attempted perversion of the Map of 1856,
showing the relative size Of the Free and
Slave States, and of the vast Territory
which Slavery then demanded. These
Maps we're in pamphlets and newspapers
BY the thousands, and not word was said
10 them in favor of Division or Secession
ct the Copperheads now say, the Rcpub-
leans ,oanted TO "kick out, oJliscrote, or
,ujugatc" The Sagc States. All they
asked, was, that the Territories remain
free. Publishing that Map, these CO.
workers with Jeff. Davis declare, was
'Treason's Birth v And publishing the
Election Returns of 1850 was, doubtless,
'Flat Burglary"
These liars will not correct their pre-
neditsted falsehoods and impositions, for
hey think they have among their readers
md hearers those who will be deceived
hereby.
