The Union people have opened the CAM
paign gloriOusly in this county. The series
of Township meetings announced in last
weeks paper have been held with signal
success. The people throughout the county
are active and earnest. The great Mass
Meeting to be held here next Tuesday will,
we hope, wake up the Republicans of Fre-
mont and set them to work also.
On Monday evening last Mr.. EVERETT and
Judge GREENE addressed large meeting at
Clyde, of which Mr.. PATRICK was chairman,
Although the notice was short, yet two or
three hundred people assembled. The dem

the Union men there are jealous in the good
cause. Clyde will come in strong next
Tuesday.
The people of York Township were noti-
fed of the meeting in Bellevue, on Tuesday
evening, by posters from the Gazette office,
and at an early hour Summer Hall was
crowded. Speeches were made by General
BUcKLAND, Chaplain COLLIER, of The 34th o.
V. l., and N. CHANCE, Esq. 1t was one of
the best and most enthusiastic political meet
ings ever held in the staunchly Union town
of Bellevue. Here as at all the other meet
ings, the occasion was graced by the pres
ence of ladies in goOdly numbers.

at the hour of meeting was small but after
some fine music by the Silver Band to ad-
vertise the meeting the Hall was tolerably
well filed. The object of the meeting was
to organize Union Town Club and to hear
short speeches from Gen. BUCKLAED and Mr..
EVERETT. The meeting was called to order
about s o'clock, Judge j. X. HoRD taking
the chair. The speeches of Gen. BUcKLAND
and Mr.. EVERETT were brief but 10 the point

plauded. The organization OF the Club was
completed by the selection of good men to
fill the ofices-for particulars of which see
