We take the sting out of the Times ques.

no perquisites. His services, though of ines.
timable value to the army and the country,
are to his credit be it said, gratuitously given.

their necessary expenses while in its ssrvice-

"poor, old, morning, abolition newspaper con.

presume. has never had cent from the Com

given it more money outright than all the

Emancipation i'm Maryland.

An unconditional Union meeting was held al
Woodbury., Nd :, on the goth inst, at which
Joseph j. Stewart, Esq, deliyeret an eloquent
speech on the emancipation question. His
views may be inferred from the following con-
else extract: p''
Fellow CrrIzEss; We are for the Union
Internationally, believing the preservation o
our National integrity Of the 'first Importance.
We are for the suppression Of the rebellion
and endorse the policy adopted By the .Ad
ministration for its suppression. 3li'i
We believe this war to have been caused by
slavery, and to be carried on ID the interest oI
slavery, and that any terms of poace which
look to the perpetuation OF slavery will prove
but a hollow. truce. ''ao
We arc, therefore, for emancipation. -
Slavery is the corner stone Of the new Gov
ernment, with which the oligarchs ofthe South
would supplant tho GOVERNMENT Of our faith
ers, and the rebellion is strongest where slave
ry is strongest. In our own State the slave
holding counties sre most deeply imbued with
the spirit of rebellion. The rebellion is but
slavery organized, and every blow struck a
slavery Injuries both. They stand or fall TO
gether. ,al 'sd' 5aa' .o5'-a't oIa sbael
Emancipation is the means whereby free
dom, the antagonist Of slavery, strikes dowr
the power which sustains rebellion.
Had all the States been free States W.
should have bad no civil war, and the sures
way to end the war is TO remove the cause o

Let US begin with ourselves. Let US enan

dom of the accur.ed institution which is max

a long while, he says, he had access to the
hospitals where the Union prisoners were
confined, and since the battle of Chicka-

fifty per day, the most prevalent diseases
being those of the respitory and digestive
organs Lately they have increased alarm

the Meeting of Friday Night,
in New York City.
ALBANY. Nov. &c, 1863.

ALBANY, Nov. 70, 1905
VIM. NJ. Tweed, 237 Broadway, Chairman
General Committee:
GENTLEMEN: | have this day received
your invitation to attend the meeting which
is to be held at the Cooper Institute to-
morrow evening. cannot be present upon
that occasion. Ny public duties: which
have accumulated during my recent ab
sence from the State, detain me at the cap
ital. At meeting held in your city sssrce
a month since, | spoke at length upon the
great questions which now agitate the coun.
try. The intervening election resulted un-
favorably to that political organization
which l believe is asserting principles and
urging policy best calculated to restore
our Union, to preserve our Constitutional
rights, and to bring back peace to our land.
While regret this result, AN still con-
tident that the justice and patriotism OF our
positions will soon be recognized by all
classes. Strong prejudices aud passions al
ways prevail in periods Of civil war, unjust
suspicious and ungenerous assaults Will be
regretted by our political opponents In
calmer moments. In the meantime, it is
our duty to adhere firmly to these tried
principles, a ! to those time-honored or
CARNATIONS which governed our country so
successfully in the past-the breaking up
and defeat of the Democratic party was
one of the leading causes Of the calamities
which now affect our country. Its restors
ton and triumph will herald and produce a
policy which will unite the North and dis
arm the South, and bring hssk uaG0i
