The Meeting Over Mt RtnaYiIle Saturday
Night.

Inc hebtlnS over NJ EtnhHlIIe bAtuFohy
Night.
A number OF the enthusiastic Republi-
cans on this side Of the river are preparing
to 90 over and give General Garfield,
three cheers and tiger" on Saturday
night. They are just now brimful of.the
good news from California and Maine, and
are dcSirous Of giving the brethren across
':he water iraternal boost. To this end
they propose to organize a procession
Saturday highland to include in 1t q band
or two of music and also transparency or
two. and march in solid column across the
bridre. Our Ohio friends can therefore
expect 10 see iTge and lively delegation
from this side. HGying no election OF our
own this fall We are all naturally anxious
to do missionary work along the Ohio
shore. The procession will form at the
Hope Engine House on Eleventh street.
(Old Union) at 81 o'clock, Saturday
evening. We, hope that the boys who
kept step to the music Of the drum dur
ing the war will report for duty in large
numbers, as Gen. Garfield is a speaker
well worth hearing Our friend Captain
Dantord, who has served with him, says
he is tue "brainiest man" in. Congress. Nc
man excels him as an expounder Of tho
financial issues, He is not only an orig
inalthinker but possessed ofan extraordin'
ary amount Of information, We hope
that our Democratic friends will not
neglect good opportunity to hear their
viSws discussed by an opponent Of &c
knowIedged eminence. Gen. Garfield il
not less known for his courtesy and can
dor in debSte than for his ability, ani
therefore no one need stay away from an!
apprehension Of taiscourteous remarks.

Actuated by that spirit of forgiveness which be-

the spirit of repentance has been exhibited, it be-

to maintain the existence of this Republic to forgive
those who desired to destroy it. Beyond this it is
not their duty to move, and any recognition of the
equal honor of fighting for this Union and of fight
ing TO destroy it, should be secuted at msera-
be disgraceful concession That rebel soldiers hon
