We call the attention of the reader TO the pro
osedings Of the meeting held here, on Saturday
last. The resolutions are superior to any we have
seen from any quarter both in spirit and sub lance,
aud we regrs; that We can not give the able and
appropriate speeches made in their support. But
one spirit and purpose pervadsd the assemtly--the
spirit OF acquiescenee in the Issues Of the var and
purpose faithfully to discharge oil the duties Of
good citisn=, and TO give to the President cordial
support in his efforts to uphold State rights against
Capitalization and more, to bring both sections
within the pale Of the Constitution and laws
BY whatever names they may be des grated,
there are, in fact, but two great parties in the
eountry-the one striving to keep the South out OF
the Union, and the other, to bring it back, with all
its constitutional rights, save the one which has
been forfeited by the struggle just ended The for
mer party is headed by Thad. Stevens and other
madmen of the same stripe; and the latter by
President johnson who is sustained by the practical
good sense and honest patriotism of all northern
men who have escaped that fatal epidemic known
as "nigger on the BRAIN" VIC need not ask tue
people Of the South where they will stand, to
which party they will give their earnest support
The people Of this County have defined their
position thrc ugh the resolutions referred o and
may safely promise, in their name, that they will
faithfully maintain that position, both from sense
Of honor and high appreciation Of the great in
