Union Meeting at Fairiield.

Notwithstanding the dissgreeable state Of
the weather, . large number of people came to
town on Saturday, the 2lst inst, to hear the
cause of the Union advocated. The people had
heard the Union, the Government, and the Ad.
ministratlon cursed and reviled so long by the
Copperheads and traitors, in their snaky and
Shiny course through the country, that no day,
however Indictment, would suffice to keep them
at home. Many of the honest farmers plodded
their way for the distance of twelve and If
teen miles through the mud to hear the cause
of the Government advocated in eloquent and
thrilling language; and well were they repaid
for all their trouble.
Immediately after the hour of dinner, Wells
Hall was crowded to its utmost capacity
Many could not get in. A large number Of
our town friends did not visit the Hall during
the day, and thus enabled our country citizens
to hear all that was said.
At o'clock the meeting was organized by
calling r. Gaines to the Chair, who accepted
the honor in brief and patriotic address,
W. W. Junkin was appoiRded Secretary, and
A. r. Fulton Assistant.
On motion of r. c. Brown, q committee
FIVE on resolutions, with Geo. Archeson as
Chairman, was appointed, consisting of the
Chairman, r. G. Brown, Samuel Robb, ST.,
mittee withdrew for consultation.
On motion, the Secretary read letters from
Gen. Laumsn and Judge Wright, regretting
their inability to be present, and breathing the
pure spirit Of patriotism and love of country.
Rev e L. Briggs addressed prayer to the
Throne of God, for blessing upon our below
ed country.
The Brass Band favored the assembled
throng with National Air.
Upon the announcement being made that
Judge Rorer would address the people, enthu-
siastic cheering and clapping of hands greeted
him. 1t is useless for any one unacquainted
with photography to give even synopsis of
his speech. He ably reviewed the course Of
parties; declared that he had voted for Breck-
edridge, but had done so when he considered
hin patriot, while the Copperheshs support
ed him now, that he was q traitor. In allud-
ing to the military arrests he was Of opinion
that some had been released from confinement
who should have been kept in, He had been
Democrat, but now in this honr of his coun.
try's peril, he recognized no party. That man
was his Observation-Disclosures Abolitionist or
what not-who supported this government and
was in favor of crushing the rebellion; all 9th.
ers we're his enemies and traitors to the best
government on earth.
Throughout his able effort in the cause of
the Union, which lasted nearly four hours, the
Judge was loudly applauded. The greatest
attention was exhibited by the audience, and
general regret was expressed that he did not
speak longer.
The committee on resolutions, through their
Chairman, George Acheson, made the follow
ing report, which was unanimously adopted !:
RESOLVED, !. That as we revere the memory
Of Washington-the anniversary of whose birth
day We meet to celebrate-so do we revere
the institutions Of our Fathers now imperiled
by traitorous hands. 49,

Extracts from a letter from member of the
seth Iowa regiment "Our company received
more mail matter last evening, than they have
at any time before, for some months, and such
rejoicing have seldom seen in the company
The news that Gen'l Blunt had been promoted
TO Major General, and had visited Burlington,
seemed to put new life into the camp, and what
before seemed dead was now alive. Hurrah
for Blunt was the general exclamation, while,
81 hope he will command our Division" was no
less times repeated, but in more earnest tone
if possible. From the above you cansimsgine
what the soldiers, down here think Of Blunt
Generals. e sts ~. .6 9'
II am sorry to learn that there is so much
sympathy manifested in the North, for the trat-
ors of the South Oh! such ungratefulness -
We have to day been paid for the months Of
September and October, 1868. I am not yet
afraid but we will get our regular pay, though
some think that the debt is already larger than
it should be, and that Uncle Sam will never be
able to pay it. j do not thiLk it will be too
large until this rebellion is extinct, and then
think that Uncle Sam will be fully able to pay
all. So "Hurrah for Liberty" "Give me Lib-
ersy, or give me DEATH" would sooner die
upon the blood-stained battlefield, and leave
nv bones to bleach and moulder in their mother
dust, than to have the black-hearted traitors to
our beloved country, succeed in their worse
than diabolical designs" .a

EDITOR HAwK.EYE:-Dear. Sir: Some Bur-
lington Copperhead, with more malice than
brains, has been trying to make capital out
of the alleged fact that the use Of the Methodist
Churches at Kossutb, Mortified, and some other
place, had been refused for the purpose Of fu-
neral Grafton, to be delivered by the great nm
washed, Henry Clay Dean, in honor of de.
ceased soldier. Your correspondent is not aware
that the use of said churches was refused; but,
presuming they were, does any one fail to see
why, Is it not we'll known that four years ago,
the great mountain Of filth was refused the use
of the Methodist Churches in Burlington, and
since that time their aisles have not been pol
Iuted by even the stencil of the monster, who

CRoxwxlL ON DESTRUCTIVE CONSERVATISM =
In . speech to Parliament, in 1856, the Great
Protector, defending bis administration, touched
upon doctrine which is popular just now with
the friends of secession and the enemies of the
national life, and exposed its fallacy, almost as
if by anticipation:
''lf nothing should ever be done," said he.
"but what is according to law, the throat Of the
nation may be cut while We send for some one
to make law! Therefore, certainly it is pi,iful
beastly notion to think, though it be for ordina-
~ Government to live by law and rule; yet if q
government in extraordinary circumstances 60
beyond the law, even for self-preservation, it is
to be clamored at and battered at When mat
tiers Of necessity come, then, without guilt, ex-
traordinary remedies may be applied. And I
must say do not know one action Of this gov
eminent, no not one, but it hath been in order
to the peace and safety of this nation"

Correspondence OF the HSWk-Eye.
Dies MONIES, Feb. %, 1868.
Editor of Hawk- Eye-DEAR SIR believe
that I am regarded as an earnest, unequivocsl
supporter of the present Administration, and
devoted friend of Republicanism. You, at
least, know this to be true, and will, therefore,
the more readily give place to suggestions that
may or may not entirely coincide with your
own views. >Ai5 cd |2 - 80"
/ am one Of those who believe that this is
not q time to stir up party strife; and that the
friends of the Union and the Administration
should pursue liberal policy, and assume a
position before the country that will enable
every loyal man to cooperate with them, with
out too great sacrifice of personal and parti.
zsn pride. While I have no word Of palliation
for the vindictive and reckless men, who de.
vote ell their labors to the promotion of dis
cord in the North and the embarrassment Of
the Administration, cannot refrain from say.
ing that there is exhibited by some of my own
political friends, an intensity and bitterness
Lofparty feeling lily calculated to conciliate
and draw to the support Of the Administration
men Of Democratic proclivities and antece-
dents. What, says one, "would you not have
men and things called BY their right names?
Would you use honeyed words towards trai.
tors" No sir; not bit of it. But would
not apply to whole party or even to ma
jority Of . formidable party, opprobrium ap.
plicable to comparatively small portion Of
its members. sl aa
You and your correspondent are warm par.
tizans. You believe that the Democratic party
is essentially wrong upon all the issues be-
tween it and the Republican organization. Sc
do I. When the time comes to revive these
old issues and fight these old battles iii such
time shall ever Gomez We shall be found eide
by side, doing yeoman service, But, We SOY
now, theoretically at least, that these issues
are not before the people; that they are in
allegiance. We say that the issue, the simpl,
issue before the country is,-"shall the Unior

HThe Chicago Tribune devotes . whole
column to series Of complaints against Speak
or Grow on account Of the manner in which he
constituted the various committees Of the House
Of Representatives. The committees were APP
pointed in 1881. The Congress for which they
were appointed is almost at the end of its exist
ence. treaty appears to US that these COM
plants are rather late. If the committees we're
improperly selected it would have been sensible,
perhaps. to complain Of them ct the time they
we're made. If not censurable then, We don't
see the propriety Of grumbling no~ We advise
the next Speaker, to consult the editors of the
Tribune and obtain their endorsement, before
be announces the House Committees If he
does that he may escape trouble. The truth
seems to be that some Chicago 'jobtery" has
been squelched, and some Of the parties who
expected to have "fngeri in the pie" are angry
about it. The Illinois ship canal seems to have
been the 'job," and We expect it would have
made big one. It failed as we think was
right at the present time. If it is measure Of
practical interest and value if it will benefit the
the public Of Chicago SO very much, and they
want it done at once, Why don't they put their
own money in it? If it is practical thing, it
will pay. If it is not, where is the good sense
of asking the Government to expend money on
t, when it has pressing use for all it can raise
We fear that the ire Of the Tribune is not quite
90 patriotic Is it might be.

~ Friends write us from Brighton, COM
planning that their papers do not reach them
until the evening of the second day after publ
cation. This is the fault of the stage or mail
carriers connecting with the cars. BY waiting
an hour the mail carriers would get one days
later mails and our subscribers would get their
papers as usual. The cars have to connect With
the G. B. & Q. and cannot run to suit the
Brighton stage. If those who suffer by this
Encouragement would prevail upon the stage to
wait until the cars arrive at Fairfield, for few
weeks, until the Eastern Roads make their spring

mail matter with usual promptness. 1t is folly

n The New York Journal Of Commerce
don't like the talk Of the soldiers in the field to
tie Northern Copperheadsl The tone and the
tenor of their letters, speeches and resolutions
seem to disturb the equanimity OF its editors !.
They had sent so much reasonable stuff to the
soldiers. that they doubtless imagined that it
would rpen into any fruit but that Of loyalty,
patriotism, and due military obedience The
expression of sentiments OF this character seems
to have startled them. They deem it "dan-
gerous precedent" The soldiers ought not to
say that they viii stand BY the Flag-that they
will maintain the Union-that they will punish
treason--that they will obey the lawful orders
of their commander This is all wrong, in the
clear vision Of Copperhead! But when these
noble hearted fellows were striving to induce
Mcclellan, and the army under his orders, to
Dust the President, and establish military
usurpation, we did Mt hear whinper about
dangerous precedents !" It was all right for
the army to attempt that in the interest OF
slavery and treason! But the army would Mt
do it. Now the soldiers are telling these men
what they think of them. They are letting them
now that they mean to fire upon the traitors IN
the rear as we'll as those in 'front.' No wonder
that the villains think such talk F"dangerous
psecedent." They don't fancy the probability
