racy of Salem. They had made extensive
and 'convenient arrangements for large
meeting in George Baum's woods, half a
ed coming in early in the forenoon, and
pnt mp at hotels, where they did notsmake
an extensive snow. The Republicans
laughed and irejeiced at What they re-
garded as a, failure, But at IL O'clock
the Washihgtonville delegation was seen
yond the reach Of the eye. Hanover, Knox,
West and Butler made their appear
ance on the south, and from every direc-
ton the masses began to pour In. A little
after lie Block, the procession was marched
through Main street. 1t was grand, huge,
stunning. It1struck terror into the Abo-
Ilitionists, and drove them to their. holes.-
1t had bands and banners, and mottoes and

and men and women. The Washin gton-
vile delegation had black man kissing a
white woman. and underneath written,
..Nojoque.p The Ellsworth Democracy

splendid in the country Two or three
large roosters were carried upon tall poles,
and they crowed Justify throughthe streets
in view OF the approaching triumph. The

ly argument, showing the responsibility of
the war was on the Republican party. He

on the finances, and the recent success and
future prospects OF the party. He was
followed by Mr.. Eshelman, of the ONO
STATESMAN who made powerful and elo-
quent speech on negro voting, taxation,
and the character of the Republican party
as shown by. their own men, At night,
speeches were made in the town hall by j.

with the best accomn odations, that has
yet been held IN this section of the, State.

But to come back from this aigressiou.
Our loyal soldiers in the field our loyaZ eiti-
zens at home, are beginning to doubt
Congress and the Administration
were sincere in the outset with all their
hAsounding resolutionsl and pledges
They beginto ibelieyeSthat you are z"pal-
tering with them in q double sense,p and
only keeping the word of promise to the
ear, to break it to the hope of the nation.
You tell them, by solemn resolution and
setspeeeh, isthat this war Is to be. swaged
for the purpose of maintaining the Consti-i
tuition within the Union" and yet you are
continually proposing andu encouraging
measures, here and elsewhere, that not on
~ strike at the integrity of the Constitu--
tion, but which, if carried out, must seri-
ously endanger the Union itself. Il 90 "A
You tell your soldiers that they are
fighting for a nationality, while you here,
by your legislation are plotting measures
which the nationality can alone exist, of.

from Michigan MIR. Chandler) said with
great fervor of patriotism, A"that for his
part he5was tired of hearing on this floor
the charge against the Republicans of vio7
lating the Constitution. If he could save
the Government, it imattered not to him

We want now at the North, more than
ever, loyalty, not to man or party, but to
the Constitution and the laws. We want a
pubic sentiment as 70 the duty OF citizens
