b. discussed the principal issues bs'ore the
people, dwelling at length spon those that
directly affect the interests Of ths West.
and Of this district in particular. In forci-
bic tesms be showed the wicked fallacy and
Inconsistency Of the Radical plan ef recon

failure on the part Of those. who had fought
for the preservation Of the whole union. By

supporter Of the sssssrvativs plan Of re-
construction, the Radical part Of the audi4
encs wers surprised 10 hear Mr.. Cook make
use Of nsnss that they had been taught by
the Radical press to honor and revere. names
thas this aaus press are oow trying y osvsr
with obloquy, beeausel they will not nov
prove iAlse to the principles Of Republican

and plumber.
In . polite, gentlemanly manner, the
glaring Inconsistency Of Ar. Prices public
acts we're shown up, and the audience plain
" saw that by those acts Mr.. Price had
proved himself IN enemy TO the best inter
csts Of his coastituence, and, - represent
alive, UNIV orthy Of their confidence and sup
port Mr.. Cook spoke for an hour and ten
minutes, closing with the vocal and ocular
evidence that his remarks we're received in
their full significance by the audience.
Mr. Dittos then took the stand and for
nearly an hour and . half did good work
for the Conservative cause, bringing his
words home with force irresistible and in.
controvestsble. He had stood in that hall
four years ago to ask them 70 80 with him
in defence Of the Union. and It seemed
strange thse when they thought their work
was doos, and veil done. that I'll the praise
should be given 10 others, ano that hs
should b there to ask them to 90 with him
again for the Same holy purpose, but not 10
the Sane manner-not With bayenes and
bullst-but with weapon - potent and
more consistent with American fresmsn-
the ballot. The three rousing cheers st The
close Of his remarks gave evidence that they
were with him hosrt and soul. As they
had stood by him on sanguinary fields, they
would be with the right in this more peace>
ful, but perhaps not less terrible struggle to
overcome traitors at home.
At the close Of the speaking. u National
Union Club was organised with:
President r.. Fuhrman.
Wee Pesident-Le Roy Dodge.
.Secresary-Capt. Clark.

The meeting then sdjournsd until ths
next Tuesday evening, at which time The
