The Union Meeting on Tuesday
Evening.

At an early hour the large court room
was well filled by attentive hearers
Senator Howe being unwell was unfit
to make speech, but rather than dis
appoint the people he made the effort,
and by leaning on the desk in front of
him portion Of the time while talking,
he succeeded admirably. He was lis
tened to with marked attention. He
drew striking parallel between the
rebel sympathising democracy and the
Union party-how it hung like a great
incubus or weight on the launches of
the government, making not single Of
fer of assistance or friendship to the gov
eminent. He appealed to the people
calmly to lay aside all their objections
to the government, their fears of theirl lib
critics being taken from them by sus-
pension of the writ of habeas corpus
said there was no danger Of the rights
of peaceable citizens being taken away
from them. He next spoke of the diff
ferent constructions of the constitution
how Jefferson thought it did not au-
thorise the purchase of Louisiana, but
he wanted tive needed it, and it was
purshased, violating the constitution in
its purchase. And here we are to day
under the same constitution, carryin @
on most stupendous war, and still the
loyal people have the same rights and
privileges now that they ever had under
the constitution. Senator Howe con
tinued speaking for an hour or more in
his calm, reasoning and convincing man
ncr, the people listening and drinking
in every word, showing the disloyal at
titude Of the Southern sympathising
Democracy, the vital Importance of sup
porting the Administration in carrying
On the war, and the danger OF entrust-
ing the governments Of the loyal States
to the hands of any except men of known
and unquestioned loyalty and patriot
ism.
The speech was received with frequent
and hearty demonstration of applause
Nj. Cogsweil, an able lawyer of Mil
and telling speech of more than an hour.
We have heard but one sentiment ex-
pressed in regard to the speeches, and
that of appreciation and approval. We
feel satisfied the effect on the people
was good, for such arguments can have
no other influence on intelligent hearers.
We would like to speak more in detail
of the remarks of both speakers, but
our space and time is limited.

FAIRBANKS SCALES Weighed in
the balance Of just criticism, all are
obliged to admit that Fairbanks Scales
are, without exception, the best ever
invented. We know whereof we affirm,
because we have tested their value, and
are fully satisfied of their superior mer-
its. The introduction Of these scales
has wrought revolution in the trans
actions of various business, and their
accuracy is such that uniformity in
weights has been established all over
the country, thus making them Ma
tionat fegalized standard. Nor are they
confined to the United States they
have found their way to almost every
part of the civilized world, and are
adapted to the standards of all countries,
so that it may be said, all nations, if not
weighed in these balances" at least
weigh by them.-Hunts Merchants Mag.

Hon. j. r. DoolittIe at Fox Lake.
every vote counts one.

On the 9th inst, Hon j. r. Doolittle
addressed large and enthusiastic Union
meeting at Fox Lake. The character
of his address was eminently judicious,
sound and patriotic. Avoiding all par
tisan tricks and TRADE, he gave graphic
historical account of the rise of parties
in our country, traced the origin of the
rebellion to John c. Calhoun, the Prince
of Traitors, and demonstrated by the
clearest logic, that the only true position
for the American patriot, in this hour
of the Nations peril, is to stand by the
Constitution and the Administration.
The people of that portion of the State
are rallying around the old flag, and will
show their devotion and patriotism on the
third bf November.

Scott in force. Gen. Blunt who was
fastening with his staff and body guard
to the relief of the place, by taking COM

ABANDONING THE RYAN PLATFORM.
The Green Bay Adrocote says that
at Democratic meeting lately held
at Oshkosh, we had the pleasure of
meeting with Mr.. Meiklejohn, an old
and steadfast democrat of Waushara
county. Though he had been delegate
in the Ryan Convention which nominal
ed the secession ticket at Madison, he
repudiated the whole fraud, and informed
us that hosts of our old democratic
friendsin that county are with him. Mr.
Meiklejohn was one of the Vice Presi-
dents at the Oshkosh meeting.

THE COMMITTEE OF THIRTEEN.

THE COMMITTEE OF THIRTEEN.
AS | said before, I was on the Com
mittee of Thirteen, to patch up a COM
promise, and a pretty crew we had from
the South !! There was Jeff Davis him
self, the arch traitor Of the whole squad :;
and Benjamin, and Toombs, and Mason,
and Hunter, and Slidell-fne material
with which to compromise! Laughter. |
Bat did we get any of them to say that
if we would pass this or that infamy
they would be satisfied? [ am frank to
say that am not one who would have
given it to them AS | took my seat
in that committee. [ said to them, in
five minutes after getting into the
room:
Gentlemen, you have met to consider
upon compromise measures; you have
met us with threats upon you tongues
and arms in your hands, and now, gentle-
men, SO help Mcleod, while you maintain
that attitude, [ will vote for no measure
that may be proposed. Lay down your
arms, come forth like men. and if YOU
have grievances ard will present them
without threats, [ will consider them,
and if you have justice on your side you
will receive it; If not, you will not get
anything at my hands [ am not to be
driven into measures. In my individ-
ual capacity [ do not submit to such ig-
nominy, and if I were to do it in my
public capacity, [ would cease to be re-
spected, even by yourselves. Great ap-
plause.

back those words, and, as God liveth, /
never will take them back [ compro-

say to them now, rebels in arms, ground
arms, and come up and let us reason to-
gether. You must lay down your arms

God, and | don't choose to go to war with
Him [ would infinitely rather war
with rebels. But they had no wrongs
to redress. All was hypocrital, as their
conduct has since demonstrated.
Crittenden' s Resolutions were brought
into the Committee-the resolutions which
Democrats say, If they had been passed,
would lave prevented war. Well, gen
tlemen, these resolutions would have
made you mere vassals, hewers Of wood
and drawers Of water, in this despotism
they were plotting; and [ would have
seen them in the lowest hell before |
would have accepted it. But [ asked
them: Would you be satisfied with
this? Well, they didn't know as they
would be bound by them They want
ed to see if we were willing to do any
thing. If Iwere to agree to them, said
[, will you also agree to them? But
they would give us no positive an wer,
except some Of them who said, if we
would give them blank piece of paper
and ask them to write the terms on which
they would remain in the Union, they
would not do so. No terms of compro-
mise would they propose. And now, my
copperhead friends-no, not friend, for

that is what | would give them, and I
