last Saturday at Grovertown, and happen
ing to be present, took few notes, and
propose with your consent, to furnish
your readers with few items.
Hon. Horace Corbin of your town was
appointed to preside. In point Of numbers
there was very respectable representation.
The President on taking the chair made
a somewhat lengthy speech. Some of his
remarks had some mixture of truth in
them, but he enunciated many sentiments
which in our humble estimation, no one
bal full blooded tory could en- lorse.
He remarked that "the great fault Of
the Democracy was cowardice." Every
one will respond most emphatically.

Union platform in this proposition I'VE

until the last niger is free without com.

any sane man say that the war is not pros
ecuted solely for the niger" He talked
great deal about compromise, and yet
never once intimated what terms Of COM
promise he was in favor Of having offered
or accepted.
He knows full we'll, or at least ought TO
know, that SO far as the results of this
war affects the welfare of the niger it
is but incidental. and an imperious neces-
sity. not at first contemplated by the
Administration in defending the flag Of our
country. when it was assailcd by traitors Of
the same stamp rs himself.
He said Let me say for myself and
for the Democratic party. we care nothing
for the niger" He might have added
with equal truth, eve care for nothing
but our party"
Here is another of his patriotic (?) re-
marks -" Peace on any term is a thousand
times better than to have this war prosecu-
ted. am for peace" Yes, peace at the
sacrifice of our national honor, and at the
expense OF our liberties.
He asserted that the Interpretation Of the
Republicans Of the phrase. The last man
and the last dollar" was, Eve will be the
last to go to the war. and will steal the
last dollar" This was received with en-
thusiastic cheers. When any community
or assemblage, claiming to be intelligent,
can gulp down such atrocious absurdi,ies
in the face Of the fact that it is the univer-
sal sentiment among copperheads that
they Twill not go until they are compelled
to-" while true Union men rush at once.
and without coercion, to save their bleed
ing country, all we have to say is, God
pity them.
They nominated Lloyd Glazebrook, OF
Railroad township, Stark county, for Rep
resentative. a man who Just one week
before in County Convention, stood M
before a large audience and said Il thank
God that but few members of the Demo
cratic party belong to the Church, only
now and then scalawag." Is not that
rather rough on the Senator and Mar.cuss,
both being davout U members of the
Church ED. REF. He once had a seat
in the Legislature, and while there, was
the laughing stock Of that body.
At the time and place above referred to,
he also said that % he had been a member
Of the Church for many years, but when
he found them abolitionized he withdrew"
bnt he did not tell the audience that he
withdrew under charges, in preference to
standing a trial which was the fact, as |
have been informed by the pastor who had
charge of the Church at the time OF his
withdrawal. He said further that his
house had been home for the preachers
and that he had contributed libei ally for
the support Of the gospel, but he had
given the last dollar and tie last cent that
he erer intended TO yire for tie support of
preachers.
A fter the nomination was announced, NJ.
A. o. Packard was called for, who re-
sponded, and pitched in, as is usual for
him and other orators Of this new tangled
democracy. with all the opprobious cpl
thets at his command, to the Church and
the preachers. quote his language:
The sole and entire cause oil our
troubles. are the vAGABoND. ITINEnANr
METHODIST PREACHERS. who arc keeping it
up. and had they been placed in the front
OF the battle. as David placed Uriah, our
difficulties would long since have been
settled"
Here is pill for honest church members
who have been identified with the Demo.
cratic party. Will You swallow it. or
like honest men stick to the Church,
against which, the Savior said the gates
OF hell should never prevail.
One at the resolutions which they
adopted glorifed that vile traitor, that
disgrace to humanity and insult to his G cd,
y. L.. Vallandigbam, which was received
with cheers. Mr. p. asserted that in him
their rights had been trampleI upon. and
il was the duty of Democrats to defend
him from further outrages. This was
also cheered. When any party or faction
are SO lost to all sense of decency and love
of country as to eulogise such rotten.
hearted, corrupt villain, they are irrevoca-
bly, and hopelsssly lost. "They are joined
to their idols, let them alone" Their
javelins of malice against the Church fall
harmless. and thank God the Church will
live and flourish when its maligners are
dead and in perIition.
Mr.. p. made sarcastic remark, directed
