The Union gathering at TriadelphiR
last Saturday wasnone of your diminu-
tive concerns, such as the one that pre-
ceded 1t the day before, but a live, ear
nest, buoyant assembly of determined,
confident and patriotic people. A very
respectable delegation, filling two cars,
went ont from the city at half past one,
and at little after two o'clock the
meeting was organized on the grounds
adjoining Lawson's tavern, by calling
Thos. ThOrnburg, Esq, to the chair, and
appointing Lieut.. j. c. Pierson, Secre-
tary. Rev. Moses Tichenell opened the
exercises with prayer, after which the
chairman introduced, successfully, Adj
jutnnt General Peirpoint, Hon. C. d.
Hubbard, Col. VIM. b. Curtis, jacob
HornbroOk and A. w. Campbell, all of
whom addressed the meeting in speeches
varying from quarter to three quar-
tiers of an hour in length.
The feeling of the people is excellent.
The confidence that we shall rout the
enemy next Thursday Is very noticea-
able. We heard Mt the meeting of at
least one prominent Democrat who
gave up all hopes of success. We say to
Our Trindelphia friends, as to all others
do not be too confident-do not forego
the necessary work; act on the motto
that "nothing is done while anything
remains to be done;" be untiring, vigi-
liant and active to-day, tomorrow and
next day. The enemy are tagging and
Responding, but do not on that account
let up your efforts. Push on the work,
and push home as many telling inilu-
enccS AS possible between this and
Thursday. You have three days re-
naming. Make them count more than
any three days thus far in the canvass.
Tho West Liberty people hold ameet-
Ing in that place. tomorrow afternoon
Mt . o'clock. The Union men of that
township are alive and we expect tell
of the polls next Thursday, What We
want now is n sweeping effort in the
city. We must rival ut least the efforts
of the good friends in the country who
are working so zellously. Let us have
no cause to regret a lost opportunity
ntter the election by any remissness now.
a glorious victory is within our power
u we are willing to achieve It by work.
What say the men of Union town
ship who constitute the grand CEN
tire of our column 2? What say
the men of Clay township, who
compose our right wing7 And what
shy the men of Webster and Richie
townships, who have so CALAMITY and
successfully sustained the fortunes of
tile day OH the left hitherto? While
trusting unds expecting that Centre
Madison and Washington townships
will do well-that they Will advance
their standards fur into the fight, still 1t
Is IN Union, Clay, Webster and Richie
TINT our legions Hre missed, and in
them the tide of battle will sweep decis-
lively for us or against us. The vote in
these townships mt tho Presidential
election stood thus : UNION, Linz
coin 3l3, Mcclellan 23l; CLAY,
Lincoln, 256, Mcclellan 1866;
WEBSTER, Lincoln 24B, Mcclellan I55.
Richie, Lincoln 800, Mcclellan 282.
Can We not hold our own in these town
ships? Webelieve that we can increase
our mnjoritics II the right men say the
word. All the Indications point to an
increase III our vote in the other town
ships. But, M we said, il is ON Clay,
Union, Webster and Richie that we
must rely. The big vote Is there. An
especial responsibility rests on old
Union. She is of the order of the Le-
vites and bears within herself the Ark
of the Covenant. Tho fortunes of the
day arc with her more than any other
township. We hope corresponding
work is being done in her midst. With
pride and admiration we point to her
record i'll the past. Shall we not point
to 1t with the same feelings III future?
To the Union men of all wards and
all the tOwnshipS-yeR even of all the
squares and blocks in the city, and of
every little neighborhood vicinage in
the county, we say be sure that you are
emitting nothing necessnryto be done.
Let not IL single vote he lost for want
of few words or n few stems, n little
effort and n little trouble. So shall our
victory be glorious and sweeping next
Thursday.
