has been made to appear even more hate
). full than before. This result, as was an


ticipated by the loyal portion Of our citi


zens, has excited the wrath of the "CIN


cINNATI ENQUIRER, as the following sneer
ling notice of the meeting will show:


WONDERFUL


I "Wonderful was the effect of the meet


ing on Monday night Instead of inspi


ring confidence over the country, it ha,


a depressing effect on the money marke

polite the most sensitive Of all others


The day before the Opera-llouse meet


ing, gold was selling in New York a


64a; yesterday, after the news of tn,


meeting had been read in New York


gold went up to 7s-the highest jump i


had at one leap, before made. Why die


it have such an etfect7 Simply because


those in favor of prosecuting the war


while there is man or dollar left, show

them!--nothing to show that there wa


any substantial hope in them Of ultimate


success--That there was no encourage


ment for Congress to pass the Conscrip


tion bill, or for the President to execute
it---that there was no Endorsement of the


EMANCIPATION Proclamation--no propose


to volunteer by those present-in fine


that, but for the enquirer" which af.

es of the speakers, the meeting would


have been a dead, fiat failure. Why


shouldn't backs, after that, have


fallen eight per cent? Suits for damages


should be brought against Groesbeck q


Co., for the injury they have done Gov
ernment credit"


We never have seen in any rebel print
anything which gave more unmistakable
evidence of sympathy with the rebellion
than this. jeff. Davis himself could de-
sire nothing more; and his organs will
quote this notice of the Enquirer, and
gloat over it as a great triumph of rebel
sympathy in the North.


The writer knew when he pennod the
above, that it was not true that the meet
ing in Cincinnati had caused the rise in
gold in New York, but still it would af-
lord aid and comfort to the enemy
to say so; aud, true to its rebel
sympathies, the ENQuIRER sought to ut
ter not such things as were true, but such
things as would injure the Union cause.
This it has not failed to do on all occa'
sions, especially for the last few months.
Its opposition is entirely directed against
those men and those measures that seek
to conquer the rebellion and restore the
Union of the States. Loyal men, wheth-
er Democrats or Republicans, are the tar
gets for its venomous arrows. Men who
are seeking to sever one section of the
country from another are its heroes
When there is hope of weakening the
cause Of the Union by inAaming the pre-
judices Of the West against the East, then
it talks of the thieving propensities Of
New England, and the inetiable meanness
of Puritanism, and recommend that the
Eastern States "be left out in the cold.
1t being understood that the religious
portion of the community are strongly opp
osed to the. .dismerberment of our country,
it denounces the clergy generally, ,and the
press, as the couses of this earnest Union
feeling. When the rebels declare that
the only condition upon which they will
accept Of peace is that the Southern Con,
federacy shall be acknowledged, and the
country hopelessly rent in sunder, then
the Enquirer" is for peace at all haz-
ards. 1t accuses the religious portion Of
The community with thirsting for blood,
because this portion of the community is
unwilling to surrender the country to
.rmed traitors. For the same reason it
night just as well accuse the husband
md father of thirsting for blood, if he
would defend his family from the assaults
# the murderer.


We have the arrurance of eye-witnes.

levour the contents Of the Enquirer, and
