Universal Enthusiasm and Concord.
The organized work of the political cam
paign which will terminate on the first
Tuesday of November next was commenced
on Saturday night last in the Union Ward
meetings for the purpose of forming Union
Clubs to conduct the convass in the differ
ent Wards of the city. The work was most
auspiciously commenced, and if any con-
elusions or inferences can be drawn from
the spirit evinced in the meetings of Sstur-
day night, this city will in November pile
up a majority for Abraham Lincoln equal
ing even that tremendous one which last
fall crushed the Copperhead Democracy
under its overwhelming magnitude. From
all quarters we learn of the most refreshing
enthusiasm, determination and usanimity.
The meetings on Saturday night were, with
but few exceptions, largely attended, and,
without exception, hearty, harmonious and
enthusiastic We give their results in de-
tail below, as far as we have been able to
obtain them
