CLUE MEErINc.-On Saturday evening last
the Lincoln and johnson Club of this town
had its second regular meeting and was per
manently organized by the unanimous elec
tion Of the officers temporarily chosen at the
first meeting, Judge Garter presiding After
receiving the reports of committees appointed
at the prior meeting, Judge Garter proceeded
to address the Club. For nearly an hour he
spoke with an enthusiasm and eloquence that
surpassed anything we have listened to dur
ing the present campaign. The speaker was
full Of the subject, and the patriotic senti-
ments to which he gave utterance met with
response from his audience that proved be-
yond question that they too were in earnest
The Club now numbers nearly two hun.
dred. Many joined at the last meeting, and
to night, the regular meeting. many more
will add their names to the glorious roll. The
meetings Of the Club are not secret. All are
invited TO attend.

LET EVERYBODY ArTEND.-On Monday
next will assemble the loyal hearts of Shasta
to hear Gen. BiGwell and Hon. A. A. Sar-
gent express their sentiments on the great
questions of the day. Much enthusiasm is
felt by car citizens in this matter, and no
expense will be spared to make the display
imposing and grand, and in every way wor-
thy. of the occasion. Torches and other
material will be brought up from San Fran
cisco, and transparencies, notices, flags, and
all the paraphernalia appropriate for UNION
demonstration are prepared for the occasion.
We are advised that immense crowds are
coming from all parts of the county, and we
hope every good man will avail himself of
this occasion to demonstrate his love for the
old flag and his detestation of those battling
for its destruction.
The Shasta courier., 1864-10-29

A WORD TO UNION MEN-Is this time
for any citizen to occupy neutral course on
the questions of the day? The man who
possesses an influence among his fellows,
either because of being more talented. more
worthy. or because chance may have given
him acommanding position, is responsible to
God and to the people for anything like luke
warmness at the present time, to the extent
of almost criminality. What though when
asked the cautious conservative shall say, II
am Union and shall vote the Union ticket"
True, he does something for the cause, and
any one can see at glance how much. He
condescends to let his vote count one among
millions. Is that enough? We think not.
Now is the time when every patriot is bound
to make all the exertion i'll his power to in
crease the Union vote, add to the enthusiasm
of loyal hearts, strengthen the doubling. and
make vigorous the action Of every ono who
has pride of country in his composition. The
man who believes that the election Of Lincoln
and johnson is essential to the salvation of
the nation, and leaves nndone anything he
can do to produce that result, neglects duty
for which he will sooner or later be called to
account Every loyal teart must be in the
field. 1t is no question of party politics that
is now to be determined. Life and death are
involved il the issue,-not the life or death
of an individual, or of number of them
but of that for which thousands have already
died that the NATION might live.
The Shasta courier., 1864-10-29

McCLELLAN.-f any evidence had been
wanting to the loyal minded to convince then
of the entire incapacity of the once great
military head Of our nation, or if further evi-
dence of his want of loyalty to the Govern
ment than is found in the company he keeps,
then we say to all such. read the speech of
General Mcdowell, delivered at Platt's Hall.

Our columns Go not afford space sufficient or

sophistyy of the opposition.
The Shasta courier., 1864-10-29

GENERALS AND PoLIrIcs.-Since General
Mcdowell has made a speech or two ON polit
ical matters, the Copperhead press are
struck with horror at the idea of military
officer having anything to do with politics.
In their eyes such course is Outrageous
They conveniently forget that their candidate
for President is Major General in the ar
my, and thathe once wrote an electionecring
letter to assist the election of Jud ge Wood

and proper for their Major General to meddle
with politics, because he is not military off

FEEScH GuLcH, October 10Th, 1864.
EDITOR CoURIER Pursuant to previous
notice. the citizens Of this vicinage met ON
the evening Of the 21st, to hear Hon. A. A.
Sargent, in behalf of the Union cause. The
meeting being called to order, John Souter
was elected President, and VIM. S. Kidder.
Secretary.
After singing the Red, White and Blue, !"
the President introduced the eloquent speak
er, who held large and attentive audience
for more than two hours in rapturous delight.
Mr.. Sargent convinced all but rebel sympa.
thzers that littlemac was notorious coward
and withal none too loyal. He 50 complete
~ d'ssected him as statesman and military
hero that the universal opinion of all honest.
intelligent and Union loving people here is,
that he won't do for the position to which he
aspires. This being the verdict Of the people,
aH loyal and intelligent voters in this precinct
are going to east their ballots for honest Abe
and Andy.
After tumultious cheering, at the close of
Sargent's address, in which the speaker,
Lincoln and johnson, Grant, Sherman, Sher-
idan and our heroic soldiers in the field shar-
ed, the President requested all that voted for
Lincoln in 1860 to RISE Including the
speaker and President, Is rose. He Jtien
called for those to rise who intended to vote
for Lincoln and johnson on the Sth of No
vember next. this vote to include the choice
ofthe ladies present, provided they could vote.
The entire audience, with the exception Of
some four or FIVE, rose to their feet, amidst
terrific applauses.
So, Mr.. COURIER. you may put us down for
at least two to one for the Union ticket. Ac-
cording to scripture We mean to assist Old
Abe in putting bis heel on the pate Of this
monstrons, hell-born copperhead.
There's venemous snake that hrks in the grass
A Shiny, treacherous, horrible thing;
Of copperish hue are its ugly folds,
And be gives warning before his sting,
But strikes with a secret and sudden dart,
Leaving poisonous and deadly smart
OF late he has taken the shape of man,
As of old took Satan the serpent's form,
Plotting all night in his traitorous dcn
And lurking by day in the sunshine warm,
Ready to strike, with secret dart,
H is poisoned fangs to the nations heart.

Nation is involved, shall have been nambered

four years. of the man they know to be honest

they will assume the rule of the Peace DEM
ocracy with platform, and a candidate with
out one-platform and candidate pledged to
the pareeling out to miserable factions the
birfhtight bequeathed by our revolutionary
fathers.
We believe in continuing that Administra-
ton for another term which, under God, has
for the past four years steered the ship Of
State through the shoals of anarchy. We
believe that our armies are now SO organized
and led as to possess within themselves the
only necessary arguments to produce an early
and permanent cessation of hostilities. We
believe that such an armistice as they are
striving to win is such as the Nation could
accept, and any other is repugnant. to the
feelings of every loyal citizen, and to consent
t0hny other would be no less than national
suicide. There is no use Disgusting this
natter,-the questions presented are too plain
to admit of perversion. To vote for Abra-
ham Lincoln is to sanction the pursuance of
such course as shall insure national life,
with boundaries intact; to vote for George B.
Mcclellan is to give the nation stab. Dem
ocratic speakers tell US that Mcclellan is the
nominee of the only irse Union party. If
so, why do the most talented and Influential
disunionists support himf Why are not
men of that stripe found supporting Lincoln?
There is lie out certainly, or men are voting
very inconsistently in asking for the very
thing they least want. Democrats protesting
Union sentiments are too much like the devil
preaching morality-they may preach very
good doctrine but they get no credit for sin.
