POLITIOA.L
The great Union mass meeting held at Cooper In
stitute on the evening of Wednesday, September
30, was one of the moat successful political rallies
which New York hes ever seen. ' The vast hall was
crowded to excess, whi!e the streets by which the
building is bounded were equally thronged by masses
attracted to the stands of the speakers.
If any were still incredulous of the radical change
of feeling regarding slavery which the masses Gave
experienced within the last few months, this meet
ing furnished irrefragable evidence of the fact, which
they could not deny. It was but a short time ago,
that an anti-slavery meeting held at this same hall
was threatened with dispersion by the society of
"friends," yet, here, when human ellatielism was
denounced - boldly as a national Din, the "roughs n
who were drawn here, by the concourse of so many
respectable people, either for want of excitement
or professional business in the way of pocket-pick
ing, offered no boisterous dissent to the principles
disseminated. Indeed, the only indication or, riot
ous feeling occurred in front of one of the street
stands, where Mr. Spencer was addressing the
.multitude. Here some r:d . the "friends,' taking
objection to the speaker's strictures upon Governor
Seymour, indulged in boisterous retorts, but were
soon silenced by the pimgent reply of the orator.
The high tone . of the whole affair may be con
ceived from reading the list of vice presidents. It
embraced the wealthy and influential men of the
city. AMong them were William B. Astor, A. T.
Stewart, X. H. Grinnell, Peter Cooper, R. H.
McCurdy, and others, whose names represent mil
lions. 'When the great tax-payers lend their coun
tenance to a cause, there can be but little doubt of
its propriety and excellence. The resolutions em
-dorsed the emancipation proclamation, the °oases
tion act, and the suspension. of the habeas corpus,
"and, in the main, without regard to minute details,
the actien of all departments of the Government in
the measures they have adopted for the prompt and
permanent restoration of the authority of the. Na
tional Constitution." The speakers were, Hon. W.
Smith,- Hon. H. Hamlin, Admiral" Farragut, Gen.
John Cochrane, Hon. E. B. Washburne, and the
Hon. Mr. Hahn. The outside meetings were. like
wise addressed by eminent speakers.
There is some deep feeling among our citizens re?
garding the retention in office of Gen. Schofield
more, perhaps, than is indicated by the press ; and
a meeting is announced for this evening at Cooper
Institute, in honor of the Missouri delegation, who
have visited the President for the purpose of pro
curing that officers removal. It is gotten up under
the auspices of many leading Unionists, and is in
tended as an indirect appealin behalf of the delega
tion. There will, probably, be a large gathering.
The speakers announced are, W. C. Bryant; Hons.
C. P. Johnson, Jim Lane, Emil Preterites, and B.
gratz Brown, together with other well-known gen
tlemen. Whatever may be the ultimate result, it
will certainly be an occasion of much interest.
Nothing has been heard of R. S. Therm since his
unfortunate attempt at reviewing Senator Sum
ner's great address on foreign relations. There was•
a great ornsh of empty seats on the eventful evening,
in the midst of which sat about fifty lonely and de
terminedpeople, who had braced themselves for the
magnificent narcotic which the`honorable lecturer
had promised to administer. .M.r. Tharin, however,
dismissed them with much scorn and retired again
to private life, convinced of the ingratitude of re
publics.
Mozart and Tammany are marshalling themselves
with the hope of making a forced March when the
time comes"; meanwhile, they are working hard for
success in the State elections.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The public reception of the Russian officers, Yes
terday, was the grandest ovation which cur citizens
have ever rendered. Even the reception of the
Prince of Wales was eclipsed, and the enthusiasm
of the people, which then seemed notable, yesterday
fairly outdid itself. The distinguished visitors
seemed delighted with everything, and frequently
applauded the regiments wliich,•during the day,
passed before them in review. So, what wttbs the
tumbling crashes of salutes from broadside guns and
land batteries, the swell of national an'thems and
the wild huzzas of the people, the glitter of bayonets
and bedecked uniforms, a most striking sensation
was created which the Russian officers will net
soon forget.
Admiral. Milne, of the British West India squad
ron, has, in company with some of his officers.
called upon the Mayor, bat failed to receive an in-
vitation to a fat dinner, or aldermen's ball. It seems•
rather too bad that poor Mr. Bull should be left out
in the cold, while the clatter of appetising dishes,-
and the shuffling slide of dancers' feet tempt his ear,
and the bddy to which the ear appertains. But the
rule is not to be infringed—no neutrality, no dinner,
no ball. , The Frenchmen are sharing a similar fate.
Johnny. Crapeau rooks in the harbor, and looks-out
grimly upon the festivities, and the earnest welcom
ing which Russia is receiving at the hands of the-
Empire City ;:but the great Cold Shoulder keeps
him off, and he eats his frogs between his own walls
of oak, no one noticing or caring for him. Where-.
ever the' Russian sailors make their appearance
they are treated with a marked courtesy by all, and
there is no lace of invitations extended -them to
take a quiet glass-with those who consider them
selves entitled to play the host. It is hazarding no
thing to say that never before have the masses of
the people extended a welcome so hearty and tho
rough to foreign visitors.
A sad accident has just deprived the Government
of the services of one of its moat efficient officers, in
the person of Major B. B. Hunt. Major Hunt, it will
be remembered, was stationed at' Hey West,.at the
outbreak of. the rebellion, and rendered the country
invaluable service by the preservation of the forts
from occupation by the rebels. Latterly he has
been at the Brooklyn navy yard, engaged in expe
riments upon a neWl,..atibinarine battery, which was
- iii'l 4
familiarly known :s, l 7The7hat Is It?. This affair
Was intended to secure 'the annihilation of hostile
iron-clads by: attacking the bottoms ; its arrange
ments being such that it could fire its guns be
neath the water. A trial, some months ago, re
sulted successfully in the main, and' the Major was
engaged from that time until the occurrence of the
fatal accident, in completing his craft. On Wednes
day afternoon, the " What Is It" was taken from
the yard for the purpose of fresh experiments with
its projectiles, when, by some means, a shell' con
taining chemicals was exploded, tuld the Major,

liberated, fell into the hold. He was re moved as
soon as possible, but all efforts to save his life proved
fruitless, and at the Naval Hospital he breathed his

many responsible positions.

Vestvali, at Niblo's Garden, made her ddbut most
successfully, and fairly carried the public heart by
storm. The press of the city is loud in her praise,
and Manager Wheatley is nibbling in a vast field of
postal currency in consequence. It is no flattery to
say that her dramatic powers fully equal her ope•
ratio powers, and 'no higher praise than this could
be asked even by theinost aspiring actress. In her
voice there is just enough of the foreign accent to
insure that hesitating piquancy which hi eo delightful

out, as are some of the characters ; and suggestions
from other authors are well laid in. Mr. Wallack's

though containing none of their fine strokes of hu

A few days ago we published the fact that the
steamer Fox had been rup aground hyour gunboats
end burned. We have Since, received the full par
ticulars of her destruction, ogSther with an account
of the shelling of the reberworks at GranVe Pass,
near Mobile. It will be remembered that the United
States steamer Tenneasee chased.the.Fox to Ship
Island Pass,- and being unable to .foliOW her farther,
turned and punned another blockade runner, which
was captured:
This was about 5 o'clock P. N., on the 12th inst.,
at which time the United States steamer Genesee
was going through- Hem Island Pass into Masts
sippi Sound. Her officers obstrved a steamer near
the mainland, steaming toward Paecagoulti, and
Captain - -111.acomb, , of `the Genesee, immediately
mooed the gunboats Calhoun and Jackson in chase,
these two steamers being of light draught. The-
Gliweee was alsoheaded for Pascagoula. •
When near Pascagoula wharf, and before the gun
boats could prevent it, the steamer was tired. Six
shells were fired, from the Genesee and Jackson for
the purnose of preventing some rebel troops on the
beach from rescuing any part Of her cargo. The
steamer WU run aground• before being fired, and lay
only seyenty.five yards 'from the beach, and the
same distance from the wharf. One boat was sent
ITCIII3 the Genesee, and .one from the Calhoun; hi'
guard the wreck during the night, and were fired
upon by the rebels ; but without injuring any one.
The men in - the'Gemesee , s boat responded to the tire.
At daylight Ensign Baxter, in charge of the Gene
see's boat, went on shore, under a flag of truce, and
aiceitained that the destroyed vessel was the rebel
steamer Fanny, formerly our steamer Fox. She
came from Havana, with a valuable cargo of assort
ed merchandise. fliot even the private property of
the crew was saved..
On Sunday morning, the 13th inst. , at nine o'clock,
the three gunboats were heeded for Grant's Pass,
near Mobile, and' at it o'clock A. M. they were
within two milee of the fort. Near the fort was the
rebel irozedad gunboat Gaines, Long Torn Hunter
eurumander, and a steam tranaport. The Genesee
opened withher famous 100. pound Parrott, and soon
the rebel .commander was compelled to retire be
hind .the fort to save his vessels. The Jackson
°netted With - one 84-pound Sawyer gun, and the Cal
houn with a smaller rifle piece..
The shelling was kept up until four o'clock P.
M. The rebels:responded briskly until 1 30 P. M..,
from which time not One shot was tired from the
fort. The gunboata disabled some, if not all, of the
rebel gunboats, and sand, stones, logs of wood, So.,
went flying into the air.

We learn from a gentleman, who speaks from the
beet information, that while on a recent trip up the
river be was told by a former friend, who is now an
insane and unscrupulous rebel, that Setf.Davirand
his Cabinet had decided to employ incendiaries to
destroy every eteamboatnavigating the Lower Mis
sissippi and Ohio rivers, offering as an inducement
to these miscreants inacoomplishing their barbarous
mission sixty per cent. on the estimated value of all
boats and property thus destroyed.
His informant assured him that the Ruth had al
ready fallen a victim to this scheme, and lit would
soon bear of others. He being Li merchant of this
city, and known to be a holder of Western produce,
was advised, in a friendly way, to hold what goods
he bad, as there was sure to be a rise in price. The
whole plot struck him as so diabolical, barbarous!,
and improbable, that he paid no further attention to ,
it than to note it down in his memorandum.book,
which he has since shown us, and from which we
have copied the main points. '
On his way up the river he beard threats from
some euspiious,looking etrangers against the Im-
Lrial, the'very boat whteh was• drat fired at St.
ouis, tinder circumstances of grave suspicion.
It was further told him that the man who burned
the Ruth had since made hin way to Richmond, 're
ceived hie sixty per cent. on the value of theVioat
and cargo, $lOO,OOO, and had been heard from by his
friends J Memphis, who were vastly elated by the
'streak o ood fortune of their diabolical friend.

inference being that they were to be rewarded by

they compelled her pilot to carry them out into the

In 1866 the New Orleans ReepUblished the follow

New_ Orleans by a Russian friend then resident at
St. Retershlug. It will now- be read with interest
ST. PIETBBSBURG, Feb., 1855.
Before my letter reaches-you,.you will probably
have received intelligence of a loss that will spread
a gloomy veil over all Russia ;,for the death of such
a man is a blow that not only strikes his own coun
try, butresounde from the shorettof the whole world.
In my last letter I did not dare openly declare What
we were expecting from day to day,. for we were un
willing to aocustom our hearts to an idea which our
minds were incapable of conceiving. The last days
of the Czar are a whole century in the histoiy bf
Russia, and will never be forgotten by those who
witnessed them. Do you imagine-that he was exas
perated with his foes I Quite the contrary. Impar
tially, like a. prophet, he gazed upon the present
situation of the different European Powers, and pre-,
dieted the future with the accuracy of one who looks
far beyond the present.
"England," said he, "has- reached her culmi
nating point,•either for life or death. There is no
middle paint for her to pursue. One. thing alone
may save her, and that is a free confession, not only
by the Government but by the whole aristocracy.
made to the people, that they have been absurd
from , first to last;:that , the crown is unable any
longer to maintain its power, and that the people
must arise and unite together as one man to save
the honor and preserve theintegrity of the country.
A candid acknowledgment of the truth may even
now save England, if her corrupt aristocracy can be
brought to the stool of confession. France, on the
contrary, can maintain herself only by falsehood
and deception. The Emperor may proclaim to his
subjects that he governs and influences the affairs of
all Europe; that not a shot can be fired without his
permission, and that France in the first .Power in
Europe, but a single shock, one speech of a dema
gogue, may overthrow him, and darken the star of
Napoleon forever.
u I have offered him my hand—the hand of recon
ciliation, but he refused it. He wishes to avenge
Moscow upon me, and St. Helena upon England.
Short-sighted men, who seek to avenge the sins of
the fathers upon the"childrenl As for Germany.
Austria, and Prussia, they would not now exist if
I bad not saved them when they crouched at my
feet six years ago; they think to strengthen them
selves in the mighty struggle between the other na
tions of Europe. But - they never have been, and
never will be, more than secondary Powers, satraps
holding power by the clemency of my house, or by
permission of the Western Powers. Yet one con
clusion is left me in the midst of all this ingratitude
and villainy, and this is the sympathy of that high
hearted people on the other side of the Atlantic, the
only hearts in which I hear an echo of my struggles
against united 'Europe." Never have I forgotten
the smallest kindness shown-to me by the least of
my subjects; let my children neverforget what we
owe to Alnerica,, and if ever an hour of danger
darkens around the Union, let her find a faithful
ally in my family. ,,
These words may be of interesetto you, my friend,
because you are now living amongst the Americans,
and I mention them knowing that your sympathies
have bound you to a foreign"land nearly half a cm
tiny. One learns to recognize his true friends in the
hour of danger, andyou may rely upon it that, as
long as a Romanoff sits -on Russia's throne, the
American States will never need a friend.

its authenticity.
The Terrible Accident at Nashville.
The Nashville Dispatch of Wednesday gives the
following particulars of the accident in the niilitary,
prison in that city on Tuesday : . •
" The upper story was occupied by a large number
of Confederate prisoners, who had just been called
down to breakfast, when the hungry fellows,Teady
and eager for their matin meal, started on their
downward course. At the bottom of the first flight
stood a guard, who detained them a moment for some
necessary preparation, when the whole stairway
became filled with its human freight.
"As it was only a temporary structure, not in.
tended to bear one-tenth the pressure - it was then
subjected to, it gave way, and the men fell to the
next floor, which also gave way, and so on through
two floors, some two hundred men hurling and tum
bling down and down, piled one over the other on
the second.story, under the stairway. The sight
'was one of the most appalling ever witnessed, ex•
cept on the battle field, one man having his head
in ailed as flat as a board, others frightfully bruised
and mutilated, and all more or less injured.
-
"Intelligence of the accident , was conveyed to the
Provost Marshal General, Captain Goodwin, who,
with hie usual promptness and generosity, repaired
to the spot. The officers and men belonging to the
barracks are worthy of all praise for their prompt,
generous, and untiring zeal in alleviating the suffer

GOING TO LANCASTER.
The trains going up to Lancaster, oritSaturday,
were heavily crowded. -As we came to the county
itself, deputations and less ofibrialgatherings of yeo
`mani7 and folk, men, women and children, from
town, village, hamlet, farm, station, and wayside,
too far removed from the county capital for carriage
or wagon conveyance, joined us in motley numbers.
The good people were full of good hurnol•—genuine
country eel:Jimmie—and, 'withal, intelligent, simple
and earnest. This plain chireacter which tfie'farmers
of Lancaster keep as well 'as they keep e their fields,
conserves for us the virtue of " the gobtold times'
and makes this day of revolution worthy of.our
sires. The county of Lancaster is, perhaps, above
all others, the truest representative of Pennsylvania
yeomanry, in ita_frision of races and general type of
character. Consider, alere,Thenaverat eee--aeeeree-o
richee-its industry, economy, and intelligence—its
yieldeeLfeading . publie men, and its regular crop of
majeriffiroltthe , Union ticket; Lancaster is steady
and surf Depend upon its majority, and do not
wonder it its size.
POLITICAL WEATHER WISDOM.
Standing in the cars or out on the platform is not
pleasant, especially the latter, when theday is vague
and chill, neither rain nor shine, and does not know
itself. But it was a compensation to catch the tide
of talk and enter into its interest. Two "eminently.
respectable Copperheads," one ajudge and the other
a lawyer, eat together, and talked loudly and adroitly
for a number of soldiers oppoeite. "No doubt the
Militia were cheated." :" The robberies committed at
Harrisburg have been enormous." "At any rate
Wood Ward is en honest man, whatever be said OF
him." "It grieves tie toehe heart—the poor soldier
suffers for everything." The loyal people were
figuring up majorities between themselves. " Lin
caster'll give six thousand, at least." .r elore'n that;
people don't know how the country'S been stirred

LANCASTER.
As we came into Lancester we saw the streets
crowded with people. On every side of the depet
was one greet throng of talking men. Going up'
Queen street i' was the same rattle, racket, hub
bub, and multitude. The whole town was in per.
feet holiday, and on fire with its enthusiasm. Heads
were out at every window, and oldiaehioned piazzas
and balconies filled with women and children. The
Union League building hed suddenly grown from
door, window, and roof, and in every plaee where •
nature could- find hold, a grove of festal ever
green.- Other buildings were wreathed with arbor
vitm, and rejoiced in innumerable flags, Lancaster,
is, for all its modern growth, something quaint and'
Quaker-built' upon the opera Peon principle, "a"
greene conntrie towne."` Its plan is admirable.
From the fine central open apace between East and
West Queen and tNorth and - South King streets; the
city radiatesto the four corners. Towards this
centre the - Multitude poured in from east, west,
south, and north, from every part &the county of
Lancaster. Deputations of Union teen, on. horse,
in carriages e and- farm wagons, had ireen arriving
for the greatee part of the morning. This best blood
of old Lancaster, so to: eak flowed into the heart
of the ancient city, met in flood, like a meeting of
the waters,
.anct flowed out into all its avenues, like'
strong tide.
ONLY A COUNTY MEETIN •
It was only a Gaunty Meeting; that I. ltht
a short time before the Copperheeda• called
from various parte of the Commonwealt if a
"Grand State Ratification Meeting" fey.
They counted but asnoderate number, All
e poor welconie. Just as little provoke 'an.
amiable giant might be, Lancaster ha's summoned a,
"County Meeting," as the farmers modestly call it.
And such a county meeting has rarely been-- seen.
Ten sucligatheib3ge as the State Meeting of the De
mossate would not equal one County Meeting like
this. Lan - caster county seemed, at the moment, a--
State in itself. This grand muster of Union . men:
was more like - a gathering of the State, and the oilier
of a sounty. As the people poured into the city, it
seemed that all Pennsylvania, was coming. Citizens
say that the great Harrison Meeting of-1844-would
be forgotten in this. All these facts are suggestive
to the true student and friend of the people.
THE PROCESSIONS.-
Necessarilyithe delegations coming -into theeity,
made fourAproceesione; : entering by King street,
north andesouth, and by e guenn. street, eget and ,
west. Perhaps each of these processionsefromthi
countyboloughe, towne, and townships, were four
miles lone None, of,*course, came on foot, but a
great many on horseback; say: cot lees than &thou
sand, and-*a :very large number crowded the farm -
wagons and carriages, With the thousands of rollick
ing,. laughing countrymen, one long, loud halloo,
intermingled with. a "hooray," a hip hipe or a
whoop, eahoed-throughout the town and for miles
around, ' pervading the air, ;Ind " filling, the- ears.
There is nothing like these- country meetings. To
Bee the boys from the villages, half rolling offthorees
and out of wagons; with the overflow-of fun; ordi
narily grave, quaint men, cheering like mad, and .
deviPmaY. care fellows from farms yelling like
savages, is a great treat.
In the midst of the hurrah, gray-haired 01 farm
ers got up in their • carriagee, and bowede with re
peated drollery, like mook. candidates. Country
gentlemen, took the epidemic, and hoorayed till
hoarse. Everybody was noisy and chatty, ;or up
roarious. Recognitions between country and city
folk took place at every-turn, and between-"Hoo
rah for Curtin," halloo -for nothing in, particular,
and everything in general,...lll die for Andy, "You
can't take down old Lancaster," " Where's Uncle -
Abel" some Tom, Ben, or Sam, geeeted Dick,
Harry, or Joe. In the words of a distinguished
Copperhead, " Madness-ruled the hour," . but there.
was a glorious method in it. Intoxication by drink.
—for the good people were certainly intoxicated,
otherwise—was moat singularly reee. There we.
not a riotous face among them.
THE DELEGATIONS.
The muster of the procession was extremely inte
resting S in its poetry, and variety, and was, in its .
way, almost as attractive as the long catalogue. -of
vessels and armies which-Homer-has maderro enter—
taining in the Iliad, or-as the clans in Scott. Thus,
one could perceive pleasant diatinctions between the
delegations from Strasburg and that from /nevi
.dence. Fulton,. Salisbury, Little Britain,
,Cole
raine_,- Sadsbury, sent in their hundreds with ban
' nem and flowers ;Eirumora, Martie, Providence,
Bart, Donegal, added hundreds more, with- a .caval
cede of-horsemen, wtease cheerful loftiness was both
impressive and amusing. ,
Ephrata sent good health, rosy cheeks, end strong
.lungs,.from the - neighborhood of her beautiful hills.
Strasburg sent all: her-girls, and, after the mother
of the Gracchi, said, " These are my jewels." -Lem
peter, Leacock, the Earles, Caernarvon, and Breck
nOck must have sent ofdall their horses and riders and
wagons. So of Perinea, Conestoga, Manheim, Ra

Highly respectable deputations came in the cars
from Columbia and. Marietta, headediby Col. Fisher,
of the "Pennsylvania Reserves." Eden and Pam

After dinner the people" serembled inethe gelvenn
the principal avenue, at: the edge of the town, to
hear the speakers. There were two stands erected,
and meetings were organised at each. At the main
stand, Thomas Diektion. ldiree., of Scranton, presided;
and at the other, Lewis Pugh, Esq., of Carbondale.'
Governor 'Curtin delivered an address in his usual
happy, eloquent, and impressive manner. The pee=
pie were delighted with him and gave him all their
attention. During his speech,: and after he bad con--
eluded, he was rapturously cheered by the people: -
Wet onehalf of the immense crowd could hear him,'
but they all saw him and saw his motions, and they
were satisfied.
General Bruce delivered an exceedingly entertain==
ing and powerful address. The Hon. G. A. Grow'
and the Ron. P. H. Campbell, of Pottsville, delivered
excellent and telling speeches. Roth of these gen- -
Ilemen being well known to the people of this sec
tien, thee had a powerful weight in their arguments
for the Union and the election of Governor Curtin.
At night, two large and enthusiastic meetings
were held, ore in Weoming Hall, and the other "in''
Waehiegton Hall. - e -
The meeting in Scranton to-day watt, without
doubt, the largest gathering of people who ever as
sembled
in Luzerne county. The Union men are ,
jubilant at the demonstration and argue victory
without the shadow of a doubt. The cry is Cnreeei '

GENERAL CAMERON.
At this moment General Catheron well, seen upon
the stand. Loud calls were made for him ; but Mr.
Cameron did not speak. Re had come to take a look
at the great meeting, but other engagements pre-
vented his speaking. He would certainly have been
prevailed upon were ralt the meeting interrupted for
a time by a new arrival of the people, and the up
-;oar of the great crowd.
THE SPEECH OF GEN. JOHN COCHRANE.
Gen. Cochrane found it for a while difficult to ob
tain a hearing, for the people were in fact malting
the great speech of the occasion. When he could
be heal d, he exclaimed, "I have never looked upon
such a meeting as this. Not Lancaster county, but
all Pennsylvania is here 1 2, There was an eagle over
the stana, and we think it fell, when the General
said, ‘• Your spirit has electrified the skies and
hi ought the eagle down !" Then the General, with
the gallantry or a cavalier, spoke with wonder of the
number of ladies present. A friend at his elbow
mentioned that "he was not one of those generals
who could command a hundred thousand - men."
"Flow much more difficult," said the General; "to
manage ten thousand women! Be begged them to'
keep their mates quiet, and put their feet down on
every Copperhead, for is it not written ' thy heel
shalt crush the serpent'a head?'" [Greaticsughter.}
The General , congratulated his fellow-freemen
that they did not, meet to save their party, but Ace
save the country, and asked them to recogniMe the
earnest solemnity as well as the pleasure of the oc
casion. We meet to save our country; let all in
ferior thoughts give way. Let the people feePthat
Pennsylvania must save or ruin the nation. This
is the Wel day, and he had no doubt of the result;
but every patriot must work to- secure it. Phrty'
was the bane of republics. Once he had' regarded
them as an anti-septic of corruption—and - so they
were in time of peace—but in war,-when the nation
is troubled, to its depths in the throeir of its self::
preservation, and when traitors raise their* mis
created head, mere party was worse than - the- set ,
p a from which it took its name.:
This, then, is a time for all patriots to declare their
unfaltering resolution to save their Government, to •
put down all its enemies; and say to 'the world, Let
the heavens fall; we are for our country!" [En
thusiastic cheering.] Ours is the' cause of God him
self;-and let every man and woman here carry with
them to their homes a deep and abiding reverence
for that cause, and a holy resolve to maintain-it.
[Cheers
- Who doubts that you are for the Union?* [" NO- •
body."]. 'Who, then, are those against it? ['The •
Copperheads."l , What are the purposes-of those'
who seek to destroy it? The incarnation of demon
ology on earth ;,the reign of disorder, slavery, and
tyranny. There was"a party in the Revolution, and
- what was its name?' Cowboys!' There is :a party
to-day, and what do we call it?'- Copperheads !!
[Derision.' •
The speaker declared that he was-once a Democrat
of Democrats, but the country must be saved even,
if the party must be ruined. The Copperheads de
clare that the party must be saved; even if the coun
try is destroyed,. D hate them with a holy hatred.
No comp, °mine with - them. Fight them , inch .by
inch. Eject them. Crush them. [Great cheering.] .
Our great fault has been want of earnestness and
sincerity. Be united—be brave. United, we -could ,
finish this rebellion in ninety days: In a state of
war there 511 no question -but war, or else we are
hypocrites. Hurl, then, your strength against the
enemy. Give them not an than. What are soldiers
- Beer To eat hard - tack-? No.- It is to destroy.as
well as to suffer. Be as true to your soldiers as they
are to you, When you ask victory at their hands,
remember that they ask victory.at yours.
The speaker drew. an admirable distinction be
tween the peace desired by the loyal and that of- the
disloyal. Bis peace was in the establishment of the.
right, the coercion of .the wrong. Proclaim an ar
mistice, and make a- peace with negotiation: Did
you ever hear of a-real peace made in such methods?'
War is honest. Cannons speak- with no forked
tongue, and bayonets are true. Let us -have-the
peace which we gaithwith honor. Any other is as
poisonous as the shirt of Nessus upon Hercules.
Gen. Cochrane made-a long, able, and eloouent ar
gument, w htch we regret we cannot report in full.
Only a few CO his earnest and impassioned expres
sioni.we have roughly noted. In the course of his
remarks, he said that our cause demanded our high
est respects as the cause for which all our soldiers
are willing to die. The soldier is for, the war. Will:
you dispute with him? t Will you dishonor the graves
of his comrades—will you render all hie sufferings,
vain?. • He comes home a poor, maimed, suffering
boy. Take off your hat to him t ' He--is a hero.
[Great applause.] -
General Cochrane asked what could.. be more
radical than revolution? Must we be conservative
when Jefferson Davis is radical? In war we must
Sght fire with fire. We cannot : put it out-by pour
ing oil upon it. [applause.]
At every point Of his -speech General Cochrane
was cheered. cordially. His argument convinced the
people, and carried. them entirely with him-through
a long speech.
God bless you,. General, ,, said an Irishman.

and humor. Its best passages described the suffer-

A number of gentlemen spoke at the other stands,
and among them, Judge Shannon and Colonel J;

and were heard with enthusiasm.

'While the 'Union watch. fires - illumined the north
ern part of the Twenty-fourth ward on Saturday
evening, there was also a corrrepooding reflection
from Darby, not far distant from the southern bona:
dory of Philadelphia. ha point o' fact the whole
country around about the city reemed to be the'
scene of one Coat gala night. Tne man in the

to the Central station, where a "covey" or reporters
awaited him for the Sunday papers.
"Where was that fire, Doctor 7" (the firelnarshat

been dozing under the influence of a meerschaum and
turkish tobacco.

people appeared an if by magic ; they seemed , to
spring at once from the ground.
The demonstration at Darby -was a grand and
thrilling event. It wee held in front of the Button

industrious operators from the mills and manure*.

cretaries. The exercises were commenced by a pa
triotia address from a young Irishmamat present a
citizen ofPfew York. He was followed by the Hon.
Sohn Td. Broomall, member of Congress from the
Sixth Congrensional district of Pennsylvania. Mr.:
Broomall spoke for one hour and a half, riveting.the
attention of his bearers by a most eloquent, legion],
and statesmanlike dissuasion of the great ISMICSIII.-

clearness and force equalled by few and surpassed by
none,the mighty importance of the struggle which
now involves the nation, not only as it affeota the
people of this continent, but as viewed by the ene
mies of all Republican, Governments in the Old. ,
He alap, with great power and terrible:sarcasm,
reviewed the character- and claim of George
Woodward as a candidate for Governor, as andwa
