Resolved, That the administration of
Abraham Lincoln by its usurpations, Its dis.
regard of the Constitution, its violation OF
personal liberty and State rights, its resort
to military power to subvert civil authority,
it's temporizing and cowardly degradation
of the nation in its foreign policy, its per-
version Of the war from its original object,
and its avowed determination to ptolong it
in the language of Abraham Lincoln to
compel "the abandonment of slavery" has
become revolutionary in its character, and
that it is the duty Of conservative men OF

bearer GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN.
The resolution was adopted amid per-
feet storm of applause. The following res.
olution was then presented by Mr.. j. NJ.
BIcKEL:
Resolved, That as thorough organlza-
ton is essential to success in all political
contests, We deem it proper that Central
Mcclellan club in this city and subordi-
nate club in each township in the county
should be formed; and that meeting be
held in Washington Hall on Monday even
ing next, October Sd, for that purpose, to
which all persons favorable to the election
of Mcclellan and Pendleton are invited.
The resolution was adopted as read, and,
with cheers for MCCLELLAN and PENDLE.
TON, the meeting adjourned. Excellent
order was preserved during the whole pro-
ceedings. The address, which occupied
about an hour and a half in its delivery,
was listened to throughout with the closest
attention, and produced deep impression
upon the minds of all present. The mag.
nitude of the demonstration, the manifest
spirit of the people and the grand uprising
in favor Of constitutional liberty, of which
the meeting on Saturday night was but
sign, struck terror to the hearts of the
" shoddies," and sent dismay into the sbo'
lition camp. The ball is now fairly started.
and it will roll rapidly on, increasing in
power every day, until the electoral vote Of
West Virginia is recorded in favor Of
UNION, PEACE and MCCLELLAN.
