ed by an overture by our brass band, at the
conclusion Of which Gov. SroSE took the
stand and addressed the audience in a speech
Of about two hours duration. The Governor
in the most mastery manner indicated the
action Of, the General Government in its CT
forts for tho suppression Of the rebellion, and
cle4ily'preysd the Reasonable ground Upon
which the peace Democracy Of the present
day stand Hstook Up the Chicago platform

| Of ordinary comprehension, il not willfully
blind, could not fail to see that it was hostile
in itsptincip'es and in Its policy to the pres
elvation Of the Union, and friendly and well
disposed tosthc traitors who are seeking q
dissolution Of the Union. Throughout the
whole address there was no attempt at mere
oratorical display, but the topics under con.
sidcration were treated in clear, concise,
straight. forward manner which, clinched BY
arguments indisputable, carried conviction OF
the honesty and i~orhof the national policy
advocated by the speaker. However, there
was one passage Of the address thotflwas
thrillingly ane, and which sent the blood
tingfug through the veins of every, Union
nearer. The Governor said takefit for grant
cd that tho policy suggested intbe second
resolution Of the Chicago platfpIm,wasp adopt
ed The war is admitted 70 b. q failure, a
cessation Of hQstilities i announced for the
purpose of Calling convention Of the States

SnessAss grand army is ordered back north
Of the, Ohio river. 1.-The speake Their. asked
what would be the fscli9gss of those brave

ries, as they shonld fay back r-syay; from
Atlanta, the boosted rebel stronghold, their
prowess had conquered; back over the hills,
the valleys, and the passes Of Georgia they
had wrested inch by inch from stubborn
and desperate foe; winding around the base
Of kenesaw Mountain where victory had
perched upon their banners; back over the
fields OF Mission Ridge and Lookout Noun.
tain, which their invncible valor have made
inin,ortaf in history back across The Ten.

the graves Of ther<falcn, they take Up their

back across Kentucky till they. fnally res,
on the north bank ofthe Ohio. What would

pronounce the war failure; alltheir splen

effect. Could they view, the American PEG
pie in any other light than nation OF COW
ardly ingrates, too mean and pitiablc TO &C
cord honor where honor is dne? Conld they
considerit IN any other light than a dcl;ber
ate insult? Yea, more. they would know
that wrong had triumphed over right, tina,
their heroic labors were not appreciated; thai
their own efforts in the field had been basely
neu.ralized by the adoption Of reasonable
posiey on the par. sh the very government,
they bad went forth, t9 defend against treason
in the field. 1t would be the more Insulting
for the reason that final victory was almost
in their grasp. The enemy driven to the
wall on every side, secures an Chat il has
fossht fors while the 'yictors bassly yield all
in the hour of their triumph, and the gal.
liant army is ordered TO rest in supine idleness
while jeff. Davis and Vallandigham hold a
Convention. And thus would ingloriously
perish the last hope of restored Union. L
Butsthe, speaker thanked God this policy was
not likely to prevail, and that our brave sol.
defy and The patriotic people Of the country
would never be'calied upon to make 80 4,u.
initiating concession to beaten foe as that
proposed by the Chicago platform. X 20

MARY friends and admirers By his visit to
this place, and trust that his visits may
be Oft repeated Ia the future .nvgJ.e 2
AT the conclusion Of the speech the Glee
Clubsang that beautiful song, There's a
Sound Among the Forest Trees" after which
that staunch old patriot, Elder EsERHAnr,
took the star spangled BANNER and advanced
70 the front Of the stage, and commenced
singing that well known piece, "Rally Round
the Flag Boys, The effect on the audience
was clectrical-he people with one accord
struck in witfthe chorus, ana filled the room
to bursting with the patriotic refSiH.o After
more music by the Brass Band the meeting
adjourned, every Union man feeling in bis
Utmost soul that it had done him good to be
there. The thanks of oil are due to the Glee
Club, which added so materially to the occa.
sion. We trust that Messrs. ORcurr, TRow-
