The war Meeung-The Present Necessity

1lc W ar EEcSehN Necessity
We call attention to the official announce
ment of the meeting Tomorrow night it is
designed to awaken public interest in the
most important of public duties. Various
causes for which there was no help have de-
layed the beginning of the work of recruiting
under the last call. But the causes of delay
exist no longer. The work is specific; the
time is now limited; the case has been fully
presented and nothing remains but that ev.
= cry good citizen should give his best efforts to
the service, until the work is accomplished,
and the enlistment rolls are full. This is for
the time the Gully public duty; and for it all
Incompatible interests ought to be perempto-
4rily deferred. During the past year this city
has been favored with extraordinary business
prosperity. Industry was never in so great
demand, and its rewards were rarely if ever
so abundant and so sure. Manufacturers
have fiourished under the demand for pro-
ducts beyond their means Of supplying them.
Trade has enjoyed season OF prolonged re.
vival, buyers stimulated in their liberality by
the general prosperity, and sellers gathering
its immediate fruits. Laborers of every kind
have found ready market for their labor, and
wages have almost invariably kept pace with
the wants and prices of things. In this season
of thrift and prosperity, it would be dishonor-
able if, through want Of interest in the wei
fare of the country, this city should fail to
contribute its share OF support to the army of
the Union, whose bravery and sacrifices have
made all this prosperity possible. The honor
of the city, and the interests of its citizens,
are indeed involved in the speedy recruitment
of its quota. Now at least the inducements
Of gratitude and of self-respect unite with du Y
to country, and our brave soldiers in the field
TO inspire us to the tulflment of this work
The sacrifice IS not great; but however great
it might BE-, ii would be still a small price to
pay for a government lavish of its privileges,
and a country from whose resources and ben
fits every citizen may secure permanent and
increasing advantage.

Gov. BouTwELL's ADDREss.-Ihe first lecture oil
the winter series took place at Mechanics Hall last
evening. VIM. b. Taber, Esq, president of the as

speaker of the evening-HoN. GEORGE S. BoUT-
WELL. His special topic was the Policy and the
DUty of Emancipation, though he spoke upon the
general scope ofpublic affairs. Public opinion and
public policy, he said, had changed since congress
passed the Crtenden resolution in 1861, as to the
conduct the war. The object still the resto.
ration of the Union and the establishment of the

ployed, and the ultimate results to be secured.
lie was among those who looked upon slavery rs
the sole cause OF the war 1t was not in the nature
OF things that the nation could permanently exist
on two sntagonstic and hostile ideas-one that
slavery was right, the other that it was wrong The
war was between these two ideas-naugurated by
those who believed that slavery was right and were
determined that the nation should accept it part
OF it's political system. They had tailed. The gov.
eminent had not proved strong enough TO sustain
slavery. Russia, the strongest government on the
earth, had just given freedom TO forty million serts
The United States had accepted war with all its
horrors, rather than make slavery perpetual here;
and he thanked God that no government on earth
had yet proved strong enough for such a work
For time the north had done all the law of the
land equired to uphold slavery. There were very
few of us who had not done something. Now by
its own act we were absolyed forever from Obliga-
ton to that institution which included all the crimes
in the annals of human conduct.
The speaker enlarged upon the legal condition OF
the states in rebellion and upon the conditions pre-
cedento their return to the forfeited privileges of
the Union. If they were in allegiance, or asleep, us
some thought, he would have them sleep till they
awoke changed in their right minds, and clothed in
the white garments of freedom. How long he
could tell. 1t might be year, five years, ten
years. still he would wait till large majority of the
people Of those states had lost faith in slavery and
willing TO return without it. For himself,
however, he regarded the states as dead, and await
ing Iesurrection-dead far as their claims ex-
tended to the advantages and privileges of the gov
eminent, living and impeGishabe in respect to the
right of the government their allegiance, and to
their full share in sustaining its Burdens, and con
tnbuting to its support. Mr.. Boutwell, argued this
point with that elearness of style and logical pre-
cision of statement, which is peculiar to him, and
which gives weight and interest to every
which is fortunate enough to have him for its ad-
yocate.
