Rather Rnnrh for PillshurY !!

A mass meeting of copperheads was held at
Hollis on Friday afternoon. spectator says
there were at the outside, two hundred peo-
pie present-one half were women ana ehn-
dren, and one half the rest were Union men.
Mr.. Pillsbury, the imported speaker, was
the orator. He had rough time oft. Pills.
is no great of speaker any way, and having
an had cause. he was still worse. The bur-
then of his story was, abuse of the administra-
tion reflections upon the work done by our
brave soldiers, and State authorities. He was
often Kissed and seldom cheered.
During the meeting the American flag, with
lincoln and johnson inscribed on 1t, was
brought on to the ground. Some demonstra-
tons were made by the copperheads to pros
trate the flag, whereat some soldiers "went to
the 'front.'" John Manson, soldier belong
ing to that region, drew his revolver and
threatened to shoot the first man that assault
ed that flag. He told Pillsbury that he was
worse than southern rebel. They had cour-
age to fight-while he, as bad a rebel as any
Of them, hadn't courage to stand up with his
friends in the ranks of rebeldom. He advised
him to put on the gray uniform and go among
the rebels and help them, rather than skulk
around here at home. John was rather sharp
on p, and left him in a homely place.
The soldiers then took the flag into a wagon
and drove about with it, finally taking their
stand in the rear of the speaker and maintain.
ed it, though the copperheads threatened to
tear it down. They evidently were afraid O
| John and his fellow soldiers. The soldier;
declared that they had fought under "Old
Abe two years, and they intended to foul
years longer if the rebels required shot ant
shell that length of time.
The meeting was evidently failure, and it
supporters showed it in their chop-fallen coun
tenances. Pillsbury went in at very small
hole, but he came out Of one much smaller.
