SEVENTH WARD LINCOLN AND JOHNSON
MRETING.-A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held in Island Hall, by the Lincoln and
johnson Club, on Saturday evening. In the
audience, we noticed quite a number of ladies,
who manifested much interest in what was
said and done. The excellent band engaged
for the occasion. performed its part of the ex.
erCises admirably well. 1t belongs to per-
nnanent company OF cavalry, from Carlisle
BARRACKS, Pennsylvanla, when is now sta
toned at Camp Stoneman, at Glesboro Point.
After the preliminary business had been dis.
posed of, the President Of the Club, Mr. p. A.
Bos well, introduced to the audience MIR. H. A.
Pierce, of California, who addressed the club
In an eloquent and intelligent speech on the
political issues of the day, which was received
with loud applause.
General Carrington, District Attorney then
appeared on the stand, ana was received with
tremendous applause. Gen. q. said he did not
attribute this fattering reception to anything
he had done; but that Ii was the overlooking
Joy of loyal hearts in behalf OF the country.
He said he had great many friends in the
Sc venth Ward. but mere personal friendship
could not elicit such exhibitions of Joy. He
was glad to see that the right spirit pervaded
the audience; glad to see it so enthusi.
astie; and was also glad to see so many SOL
diers present He knew they had done their
duty in the field by the cartridge-b box, and
knew they would also do their duty on the Sth
at the ballot box. He wished to know what
his fellow-citizens had come to Island Hall
for, and what they were doing there. Well,
he said, he knew. The child was christened,
and his name is Abraham Lincoln. Address
ing the soldiers, he said they should pray for
the Union and fight for the Union, under the
flag. He hoped he would be excused for talk
ing TO the soldiers, for he once was soldier
himself.
To the ladies present he said he would
like to say something TO them, but was
afraid. He had talked TO very many ladies
when he was young, but always made a
fool of himself when he did so. He was glad
TO see them there, especially in so good cause
The devotion of women was firm, steadfast and
true Go TO the hospital, see lying there a SOL
dier who is wounded, sick at heart, despond-
ing, with no kind sister, wife mother to
press his feyered brow or sOOthe his pillow,
he has almost ceased TO desire 10 live, when
bark! a footstep, voice attracts his attention,
and he revives. IT'S the voice OF some loved
friend who has come to minister to his wants
and, by the untiring devotion and kind care OF
that wife, mother or sister, he finally rallies
and RECEIVERS, and once more enters the field
and strikes another blow for freedom and his
country, his Government and his flag.
After the speaker had dIseoursed a while
longer, and was about TO take his seat, some
one in the audience wished him to "tell them
something about Bill Gary" He resumed by
saying that he night or two since passed by a
dressing the club, and all he could hear him
say was sits unconstitutional; it's unconsti-
tutonal;" which was about all they had TO say.
He could not illustrate ii better than by relating
an incident which occurred in Virginia a few
years since. 1t was proposed to build a rail-
road from "Possums Hollow" TO the DEVILS
Den, across very high mountain. The folks
OF these two places never met but that they had
a quarrel; and, while one party wanted the
railroad constructed, the other was decidedly
opposed TO ii, and swore it should not be done
He, while in conversation with General -,
of 'Poss ums Hollow asked him what he
thought of the idea of constructing the railroad
the General thought it an excellent thing. Just
at this time Col Fireball, of the "DeviPs Den,"
came up, and he declared it was unconstitu-
tienal, and swore that if q train OF cars ever
crossed that mountain, he would be id il they
would ever get back again, and pulled eff his
coat and wanted to whip the General when
the General told him, If he licked man he
wanted TO lick cleaner one that Col. FirebalI.
He remarked that, out there, If a man killed a
rattlesnake he was Immediately made briga-
der general; he thought II man killed q cop
peThead he should at once be made major
general. CHEERS and laughter
In speaking OF slavery, he said 1t was dead;
that seeesh had killed 1t, and he would now let
IL and the Confederacy die together.
he said the opposition insisted that the war
was an uncOns titutional one. He was of diff
ferent opinion, and knew that the Executive
was doing but Its duty, as the laws of war pro-
yided that in case of civil war, the President
should resort to arms TO quell any instruction
which could not be suppressed by the civil
power; that foreign powers in Europe had
even Quoted the same in relation to their own
difficulties,
In reyerting 10 General Mcclellan he said
the General pronounced this an unrghteous
and unholy war he pronounced the war fail
ure, and withal, expected the soldiers to sup
port him in the coming contest. Could the
gallant men in the field support him who had
pronounced the war failure, after having lost
so many OF their comrades! Could they vote
for him who has thus attempted to dishonor
the gallant deadl Could they now abandon
the contest when victory is within their grasp,
and leave their brave comrades in dishonored
graves, some of them brothers, who have
yielded up their lives and spilled their warm
and patriotic blood in defense of the best gov
eminent on EARTH No, never.
Who was responsible for the war Of 1927
Democrats. For the war Of Mexicol Demo-
Gratis. For the repeal OF the Missouri Com.
promise? Democrats And who is responsible
for the present war! Democrats. And they
have been the cause Of all sectional strife and
threaten a sectional movement in case McUlel-
