THE EVENING NEWS.

The Anniversary of the adoption Of
the Federal Constitution was celebrated
BY the Democracy of Virginia, after theil
own peculiar style, last Saturday evening
To our mind the meeting was purely o
democratic one, and did not appear to
refer to the adoption of the Constitution,
but rather to be gotten up for the purpose
of making Copperhead votes, and to in
suit the government that protects us all.
Mr.. D. B. Wolff called the meeting to
order. Col. r. r. Moss was selected to
preside. and X. V. Perry to act as Secre-
tary. Col. Moss thanked the meeting for
the honor conferred upon him, and stated
the object of the meeting to be the ratlf-
cation of the nominations Of the Chicago
Contention and its platform. Gov. Bebee
read poem of considerable length, entl-
tied "the Enrolling of Liberty" which
was enthusiastically applauded. Judge
Tilford made an address of some length,
and was followed BY Judge K. II. Taylor.
We cannot take the space necessary
10 report the speeches in full, but per-
haps a short review of Judge Taylor's
address NAV not be out of place. After
euIogizing the drawers and trainers of the
Constitution of the l. s., the speaker
read parts of the Constitution relating to
the writ of "Habeas Corpus" etc., and at
tempted to show it had been violated by
Mr.. Lincoln. He charged the present
administration with "having arrested
persons without pretence or color of law
without warrant-with having made
them witnesses against themselves-with
having denied to them the right of trial
BY jury-with having in fact violated al
most all the provisions of that sacred in
strument. "You need not go out of Viz
ginia City," sand he, I" to see that the
minions Of Lincoln have done this. They
have taken men away from their business
here BY force and without law, forced
them away to military bastiles and even
never informed them Of the charges against
them. Why only the other day a man
was convicted of treason in California be-
cause he wished he had musket to help
the Southern Confederacy fight. Yes !.
the Administration had decided that q
wish was an overt act of treason.
He then passed to the oath taken by Lin
coin to support the Constitution and ac-
cused him of having committed perjury,
especially in having interfered with the
institution of slavery in the South. HE
lLincoln), has taken away from the peo-
pie of the whole United States many rights
guaranteed by the Constitution. and the
Democratic party was the only party who
could restore them. Lincoln had approved
many acts of Congress that were uncon-
stitutional, and that related to that in
epressible negro" The speaker never had
nor would counsel the people TO rise in
their might and hurl from power the pres
emit Administration, but as the time Of
election was near at hand, he wanted the
people to enforce their will at the ballot
box. Governor Beebe followed Judge
TAYLOR, and likewise abused the President
and the Union men OF his Cabinet. The
crowd separated after the conclusion Of
the speaking with boots, yells and cheers
for "ittle Mac" and the Chicago platform.
UNION CLuB.-The Union Club Of
Gold Hill, held very large and truly an
enthusiastic meeting at the brick hotel in
South Gold Hill, last Saturday evening.
The Club formed at their Headquarters,
about dark, the brass band calling the
members together, and took up the line of
march to visit d" down town, there being
Il large number of staunch Union men In
that neighborhood who were deslrous OF
enrolling themselves In the army Of the
Lord and the Union. Quite procession
met the club half way, and escorted them
TO the hotel, the place of meeting. There
were between three and four hundred
staunch Union men in attendance-and
after the organization of the meeting, the
old silyer-gray from Virginia, JUDGE
BRosSAN, made speech of at least an
hour and half in length. 1t was a
speech well worthy of the heart
and the head OF true and loyal
citizen who has sworn allegiance TO the
Government, and whose soul teaches him
10 be true and steadfast to his oath.
Judge Brosnan is one of the most learned,
eloquent, and truly loyal Irish adopted
citizens in this Territory-and for his big
Union heart and steadfastness in the cause
of his adopted country, is beloved by all
who know him. After the speaking was
concluded, between thirty and forty new
members added their names to the roll of
Union Club No. /, Gold Hill. The entire
proceedings were pleasant and profitable
to the Union cause. Another meeting
will be held next Friday evening, at the
same place. Al good and true Union
men in that vicinity are invited to come
forward and enroll themselves in the
ranks of the friends of the Government.
