NATIONAL UNION MEETING.

The proceedings of the National Union
will be found in this paper. Capt. James F.
Copp, (S9sh Ill. nifty was chairman of the
meeting, and 1. n. Kirkpatrick, (5sth Ill.
nifty secretary.
The resolutions adopted show what is the
fact,viz: that the soldiers put down the rebel
hon more than a year ago, and that congress
prevented restoration Of the Union from
that time until now, and still resists its res
toration, while the president Is endeayoring
to secure the benefits of the toll and suffering
of our soldiers by an immediate restoration
of the Unien.
The delegates appointed to represent this
county,iu the state convention at Springfield,
were all, except Lieut.. Jobe, formerly re-
publicans, and men of zeal, activity and in.
fluence in that party, and it is believed that
he has sometimes voted with the republicans.
Mr.. Bowles was the republican candidate for
supervisor in Hampton, in 1865, and always
a strong and influential member of that par.
ty. Capt. Copp was always one of the most
merly one of their town central committee,
marshal Of their professions, Is. &c.
The other gentlemen appointed to 60 to
Springfield were also decided republicane.-
They are now more decided than ever in
their convictions that President johnson is
right in carrying out the policy of Mr..
Lincoln for an immediate restoration of the
Union, and that congress is wrong in keep
ing the Union divided.
Four of the SIX delegates tMsssrs. Copp,
Jobe SHELTON, and Rhoiss) were sol.
diers who served with credit and enjoy
the respect and confidence of the whole COM
munity. They stood by the government in
putting down the rebellion, and risked their
lives in the conflict. They will stand by the
government, now, IN restoring the Union and
putting down those who oppose it.
