Yhe Great Union Meeting BEeadvilIe

Ehe Great Union Meeting MeadVbe.
There is as much talent 10 be exercised in
getting up grand mass meeting as IN
making watch, snd this talent If one
night Judge from the demonstration on
Thursday last, is understood by the Union
loving peonle Of Western Pennsylvania
Meadville never witnessed demonstra-
tion more imposing. The autumnal glorles
that crown her surrounding hills, blended
maies.ically with the grand enthusiasm OF
the twe-ty-five thousand people that pour
ed into the town, with all the pomp and
circumstance of bands and csvslcades, and
interminable professions in wagons drawn
by horses, gaily decked with flags, OF trans
parencies, and patriotic devices. The ocea-
sion was one long to be remembered. Such
crowd of people in rural district, lnfns-
ed with so much enthusiasm and devotion
70 the cause of Freedom and the Union,
Is seldom witnessed. Meadville seemed
conscious of the great occasion and as she
sat among the glorious hills thaI girt her
round, felt thrill of joy to see so many
Ioysl men and women decending from
their top and pouring in ceasless tide
through her streets. To enumerate tIth'
of the details of the great occasion, does
not come within the range of our remarks
On our arrival, NJ. S. Castle, of this city
was addressing what seemed an army
people, who listened with rapt attention
for full two hours and half AT another
stand Judge Sutlif, of Warren, spoke to
large crowd, while in the other end of th'
Diamond, from another platform, q power
ful address was delivered by Mr.. I. d
Oakley. The enthusiasm of the peopl'
was great, and when they returned t
their homes they eturned with the determ
ination that they would organize thel
election districts, bring out every Unio
vote and assist in getting majority
fifty thousand in the State of Pennsylv'
mia on the sth of November.

If there are any who favor the election
of Mcclellan with an idea that he IS war
man. let them remember this fact. In
voting for President and Vice-President,
ballots are not cast directly
for the nominees but electors
are chosen. Suppose that Democratic
electors are chosen. Once elected they
might say, we nominated Mcclellan on
peace platform. He knew what that
platform was before he was nominated
That platform represents the wishes OF
the Democratic party. He has seen fit to
make what is called his own platform He
has partially repudiated the Chicago Plat
form. He was nominated chiefly with a
view to getting the army vote Pendle-
ton is an abler man and more faithful
representative of Democratic ideas than
Mcclellan. Therefore, we cast our vote for
Pendleton for President, and for McClel-
Ian for Vice-President. Is there anything
unreasonable in all this Nay, would
not this be done in case Of Democratic
success 2

The Situation Below RIcEImOnd-The
Mysterious Operations on Chapin's
Farm.
From the Richmond Examiner, Oct III
Saturday and Sunday we're quite devoid
Of interest on the lines, for, saving the
charming features of real autumnal days,
there was nothing in them to provoke at
tention, and, beyond the marked quiet
whish pervaded the front, nothing to elicit
comment. The days were spent by our
gallant troops in enjoying the genial sun
Shine and watching the enemy, the latter
occupation having the preference, as bust
ness must be consulted before pleasure
The most interesting point d aPpli was that
alluded to on Saturday, belt Of woods
below Chafin's particularly under the eye
of the enemy's sharp-shoOters, and there
fore point of fearful interest. Beyond
this point the engaging spectacleOf horde
of Yankees digging and battering the earth,
and arranging platforms for the working of
heavy mortar pieces, to ef'3ct, if possible,
our mortars at Chafin's and in the river,
| presented itself on Saturday as prominent
| iy as ever. The industry and care expend-
ed by the enemy upon this enterprise indi-
cate that it is to be not the least in impOr-
| lance of their works for the reduction OF
this provokingly stout old city. They may
yet, however, be pursuaded by our army tC
relinquish the design. They will probable
! enioy the benefit of a test of its merits Al
upon its results will depend the action oi
our army, some doubt being entertained as
to its feasibility. Should it prove harmless
why the enemy can stay and waste a
much powder as they think proper.

Ex-Secretary Chase, in a speech at Gov
ington last Thursday, presented in nut
shell the law and the reason of the PreHid
ents control over Slavery in States in re-
bellioD against the Federal Government:
"The Constitution provided for raising
armies, and made the President Com
mander-in-Chief. 1t gave him, Therefore
full power to take all steps necessary to the
effectual prosecution of the war The hest
statesman in the land have said and the
proposition has passed unchanged, tina. in
case of insu1rection or foreign war,ssthe in-
stitution of Slavery must be subject to such
disposal as the national interests should re-
quire. In other words, that with insurrec-
ton in a slsveholding State, the
whole power over slavery must
pass to the National Government
In my Judgment when insurrection gave
the President power over Slavery, with
that power came the duty to put an end to
it. Mr.. Lincoln was bound to do that
which was necessary for the salvation of
the Republic"

The New York Herald warns the Off
cisls of all large cities to beware of threat
made by the rebels to burn some one or
more of our large cities. There scheme is
to appropriate million of dollars for the
incendiary work. The Whig says "noth-
ing would be easier" that the men to ex-
ecute the work sre already there's" that for
instance, "twenty men, with plans all pre-
concerted and means provided, selecting
some dry, windy night might fire Boston
in a hundred places" and that if the Yam

can beat them. New York is worth twenty

mend the matter to tke secret deliberations

Of this kind may be made. It behooves all

$. The Disfranchisement of Tennessee.'

$ The DiSfFancht8ememG OF Eenhessees'
The poverty of the opposition for mate
rial with which to conduct Their campaign
is illustrated in the howl just now sent up
about a certain test oath which is required
of voters in Tennessee. Now if there WAS
any human probability of the electoral
vote Of Tennessee being counted, there
might be some propriety in the attempt to
make party capital. But as Tennessee is
unrepresented in Congress, her electoral
vote will not be counted. The absurd cry,
therefore, that Mr.. Lincoln is comprising
his own election, by disfranchising the
Mcclellan voters of Tennessee, is only the
baldest political trick. As for the test oath
itself which Governor johnson has de-
manded as condition of voting, every
body who knows anything about the pOlit-
ical condition of Tennessee, knows that it If
meant TO deprive rebels in heart of the
power TO control the State of Tennessee.

New Obstacle in Grants nGOute 10
RiehmOnd---VirRi inia Fighting IL OUT
AIOne---1 OnVersaIiOn Between Ine
Piekets Inducing DesertlOn Among
tue RebeIs.
FFrOm tho Richmond Examiner, Oct. III
Silence has reignsd supreme on the
north side since the bloody check which
the enemy received on Thursday Of last
week. Not a gun was fred on Saturday
or on Yesterday. Grant appreciates the
fact that a new and formidable snag has
made It's appearance in the pathway to
Richmond. We are permitted TO tell him
and his abolition masters that the dimen-
sions of that snag are not likely to be d.
minished. Virginia is about to teach tho
world, including her Confederate sisters,
what q determined people, whose homes
have been desolated and whose hearts are
in earnest, can do when the fortunes of
war, aided by the folly of her rulers, has
imposed on her the task of fighting this
fight out almost single handed. The hour
OF trial has always found her true to her
motto Sic Senaper TyraTTis, and Grant
will YET find her senlpeT ParqtlAs.
[This paragraph doubtless refers to the
fact that numbers of detailed and con-
scripted men from Virginia are being hur-
ried to the front, and doubtless adding
materially to the numbers, if not the
strength of Lee.-ED. LEADER.
There is a rumor that Grant brought
over to the north side some thirty thous-

true that the desertions will be reciprocal
and as many will crme from the enemy a

thing to lose by such an exchang. Since tn
ginning of this campaign the enemy hs
only hoped to give man for man, or two 0
theirs even for one Of ours. They hsv
never accomplished this in any combat; bu
if they can effect their purpose by mutus
desertions, it is what would suit them eve
better. Is there no way to put stop

The National Union Committee, ap-
pointed by the Chicago Committee, has
been summoned to meet here on the 22d
of July.
The statement that Longstreet had been
reinforced from Lees army is untrue.
A letter from prominent General in
the Army of the Potomac says Lees
army instead of being depleted, is being
increased BY conscripts.
The writer says the rebels are making
strenuous efforts TO organize and recruit
their cavalry for offensive operations in
the spring
The rebel army is encamped between
Orange Court House and Gordonsville,
and is we'll provided with provisions,
though suffering for clothing.
Private information from rebel sourcas
state that Charleston is being gradually
destroyed by the fire of our batteries.
On the Goth of December, two blocks
of buildings on King street belonging to
the estate Of the late Senator Butler,
were destroyed. Several large houses,
occupied by the rebel government and
filed with army supplies, were destroyed
about the same time. The city is almost
deserted, except by the military. The
poorer classes have erected temporary ac-
eommodations out of range of our fire.
Great desiitntion prevails among them.
A bill will soon be reported by the
House Naval Committee providing for the
distribution of the prize money to officers
and crews OF the Mississippi feet.
