marks submitted by him few days since

ing upon Gen. Grant for two regiments of
troops. He voted fo- the resolutions, and
remarked at the time that he had received
a letter from his County from which he in
ierred that there was a plan of resistance on
foot by the Conservatives. This inference was
stronghold by the fact that he had other
wise heard that one or two ofthe old officers
had declared their purpose not to surrender
their offices. The letter referred to conveyed
the information that a meeting had been
called by the Conservatives, one ofwhom re-
marked to countryman, shat all must come

call meeting for the purpose of devising

ported remarks alluded to, as SANDER upon
the people of Union County.] Mr. Downing
said portion of the Conservatives of Union
county ,were as bitter as Copperheads, and
had endeavored to intimidate voters in the
last election. In the town of Monroe there
was but one Republican, and they had
tried to prevent him from voting, and who,
if he cast his vote at all, did so for the
Conservative ticket through fear.
Mr. Ellis moved that the letter of Mr..
Covington be spread upon the journal !

tie the hands of science, and prevent the

would be important for the world to know
