right through there, though. The old
anaconda begins to crack the bones of the
rebellion-one snapped the other day at
Bunker Hill-yes, and they will keep
breaking until we squeeze every drop of
treason out of the South. The Democrats
used to boast that they were the ones who
went to the war-that they sent so many
men, and so many generals. Well, all
parties went in the army-an classes went
Irish, Dutch, Americans, all joined in
for the "old flag" But want to tell
these foreigners what these men who now
call themselves democrats were nine years
ago. A person named Dibble used to be-
long TO the native American party-a
party that proposed 81 years residence for
a foreigner before he could become citi-
zen. That Dibble is now leading "dem-
ocrat." There was DR.. McMeans, the
"know-Nothing" State Treasurer Of Cal
fornia. There was Tod Robinson, who
used to insist that " Americans should
rule America" There was his honor
Jim Hardy, in the same crowd. These
men warred against me then, when acaS
democrat, and they war against me now
when they claim that they are democrats.
Somehow we have changed names. But
there are hundreds of Union men who are
working in the democratic party that
would leave it were the issue placed
squarely before them. Liberty has now
laid off her cap and taken up the shield,
and it is no time to handy epithets, but
we must try to make the Union men in
the democratic ranks understand the true
position of the falsely so-called democrat
ic party. We must reason with them.
But must congratulate you of the Sec
ond Ward, where the Copperheads were
10 feet deep at the last election. You are
doing nobly. Every shout We send forth
will be echoed back from the First Ward
with hundreds more, and with hundreds
from each other district and Ward. AS
he concluded, Mr.. belong proposed three
cheers for the Gould S Curry men, which
were given with will. A gentleman
present, from Flowery, made neat and
stirring speech amid much applause, and
was followed by the Hon. Thomas Fitch
in an earnest and eloquent appeal for
the Union. which was frequently and
loudly applauded. After its conclusion
the Glee Club sang a Union song, entitled
"Our Flag shall Wave in Victory" in an
able and effective manner. Col. Sumner
also made very able and amusing address,
which was very highly appreciated and en-
Enthusiastically applauded. The Hon. w.
NJ. Stewart also spoke few moments, but
as it was late and was then quite hoarse
he would not make speech. Cheers
were gwen for Sheridan-the army and
navy-Lincoln and Johnson-Sherman-
and Cortinas, and the meeting adjourned.
RALLY OF THE VIRGINIA UNION BOYS.
The Union boys OF Virginia were out
last evening, and had a generally good
time. In the early part of the evening,
the Second Ward Club adjourned to make
the First Ward boys a little visit at
their club-room, and forming in pro-
ces.ion marched to the hall. They pro-
ceeded with cheers and singing, and were
received with shouts of welcome. After
all that could get seats were seated, the
Hon. Judge Brosnan. or as he was aptly
termed the Gray Eagle of the Union
party" made fervent and eloquent little
address, that was enthusiastically ap-
plauded throughout. Messrs. belong
and Collins also made speeches, and every
thing passed off in fine style. The de-
monstration appeared to stir up the bile of
the enemy somewhat, and their faces al
ready commence to grow up and down,
instead of sideways, rs q happy mans
should. The Virginia Union boys are de-
termined to win this time, and for that
end they will make every effort.
