GRAND MASS MEETING,
To be held at Huntingdon, Sept. 26, at
1 o'clock, P. M. Judge Knox, Charles
Gibbons, and other prominent orators
will address the meeting.
THE COUNTY TICKET.
Union voters of Huntingdon county,
every man on your ticket should receive
your earnest support. They are all
loyal men—all honest men—all com
petent to fill the positions for which
they have been nominated—all worthy
your support. Rally to the support of
the whole ticket—don't allow the bo
gus Democracy to ()heat you out of a
vote. Defeat every man on their tick
et, not by a small majority, but by a
majority that will drive honest Demo
crats, who are still acting with that
corrupt and treasonable organization,
to think and to act like loyal men.
The Mass Meeting,
The Union men will remember that
a mass meeting will be held in this
place on Saturday afternoon, next. Let
there be a good turn out from the
country to hear the distinguished
speakers who will be present.
Suspension of the writ of Habeas Cor
pus.—The President's, proclamation
suspending the writ of habeas corpus
will be found in another column. The
traitors will now howl worse than over.
They are in danger of being " picked
up." All good citizens—all loyal citi
zens who obey the laws—will not be
the least disturbed by the proclama
tion.
A groat Union mass meeting will
bo held al, Bloody Run, Bedford coun
ty, on Thursday next. John Scott,
Esq., and other able speakers will ad
dress the meeting.
TUE Tn.Arron.—Judge Woodward
has had a loyal son in the army.
When this son was brought home, to
his father's house in Philadelphia,
badly wounded in one leg, and while
he was receiving the kind attention of
members of the family and neighbors,
the Judge made his appearance at the
bed-room door of the sufferer, and rais
ing his hands, he saluted his son with
the following language : It is a pity
you :cri•c not shot in both arms anti the
other leg, for fighting in this unholy war."
This father traitor is now asking Un
ion men to vote for him for Governor.
The soldier or soldier's friend who can
vote for him should be kicked out of
all loyal society.
John Scott, Esq., made a telling
speech at Ebeithburg labt week. A
large number of Democrats joined the
Union ranks after Mr. Scott had clos
ed his epeech.
Extra (01)305 of "THE GLOBE'
furuieLcd in - wrappers at throo cents
"That's What's the Matter."
The Noniter faction and their mise
rable tools throughout the county, dai
ly show more of the poison of the snake.
They feel that their traitorous cause is
growing weaker every day. Every
meeting they hold damages their pros
pects. Everything they say or do
works against them. They have no
good word to say for the President or
the Government—nothing but a con
tinual denunciation of everything that
is being done to crush out the traitors'
rebellion. They see defeat staring
them in the face, look which way they
will. Our armies are moving success
fully forward ! Our brave " boys" in
the field are all for the Union and for
Curtin! The loyal people at home are
daily gaining strength, and rallying
to the support of the "Soldiers' Friend,"
and as certain as the 2d Tuesday of
October comes, just so certain will
Pennsylvania answer the call of our
army by defeating the traitor Wood
ward, not by a small majority, but by
a majority that will forever crush out
treason in the State, and give new life
and vigor to the brave men who are
from home facing the Southern traitors
on the battle-field. Every loyal man
feels that the election of Curtin will
be looked upon by the rebels as a de
termination on the part of the people
of the Keystone State to put down trai
tors and their rebellion, and, believing
this, all honest and true Union men
will refuse to vote for Woodward.—
And they will go further—they will
not vote for any man on a district or
county ticket who has permitted his
name to be connected with those of
traitors in the bogus Democratic State,
district, or county organizations. The
people see the snake in the grass and
they will take good care to smash his
head with paper bullets—and "that's
what's the matter."
MR. ZENTIMYER.--This gentleman is
the candidate of the bogus Democracy
for the Legislature, and the Monitor,
and the speakers of that party, arc at
tempting to make votes for him be
cause he had sons in the army. The
sons were the patriots—and to them
all honor is due. We arc informed by
two gentlemen, men whose word would
not be doubted, that Mr. Zentanyer, in
a conversation, at one time in this
place, and at another time at Spruce
Creek, said, if his boys were at borne
they should not go again—and if his
boys had listened to him they would
not have been in the army. Is Mr.
Zentmyer deserving of the suppout of
Union men because his sons disobeyed
their father and shouldered their mus
ket in defence of their flag? The
company Mr. Zentmyer keeps should
be enough to satisfy any Union man
that his votes as a legislator would be
given to encourage the traitors in arms
against the best Government on earth.
Vote for Etnier, a reliable Union man
—an honest and industrious man—a
man whose vote in the Legislature
cannot be controlled by such dings as
Caldwell, Petrikin, Speer & Co.
THE UNION MZI:TINGS.-WC have
not room to speak of the several Union
Meetings held last week, separately.—
They were well attended and good
speeches were made by several gentle
men from this place. We have been
assured that the day of election will
open the eyes of the bogus Democracy
to the fact that Old Huntingdon is
sound for the Union to the tune of one
thousand majority at least. It should
be two thousand, but we arc sorry to
say there arc hundreds of Democratic
voters who are led by the nose by
Slaughter, Little 13ruce,
Speer Co. Such Democrats are not
men ; they are the mere tools of un
principled, cowardly rebel sympathi
sers, who would rather that our ar
mies should be slaughtered and our
Union destroyed than that 'Woodward,
the aristocrat and traitor, should be
defeated.
The Latest News.
The news front the armies for two
or three days past has not been as re
liable or as satisfactory as the loyal
people desire. There was a great bat
tle in Georgia on Saturday in the vi
cinity of Widow Glen's, an the road
leading to Chat ano.nga, and it is report-
ed that Gen. Roseeran's forces were
badly cut up, and compelled to dill
back, with heavy loss. Bragg had re
ceived heavy reinforcements from
Lee, Beaurcgard, and Soo Johnson.
The battle was a bloody one. Our
loss is heavy, and rebel prisoners say
that some of their regiments were al
most annihilated. We captured sev
eral hundred prisoners—took ten guns
and lost seven. The very latest news
leaves both armies occupying the same
ground as when the action commenc
ed. Mead's army is advancing. Grant's
army is advancing. There is a report
that Richmond is being evacuated.
Charleston City and harbor is now at
the mercy of our guns.
To the Voters of Huntingdon County
A paper in the county, and certain
individuals have asserted that if
should be elected County Treasurer,
the duties of the office would be atten
ded to by some other person than my
self. I have only to say, that if you
elect mo to that responsible post, I
will, as it always has been my inten
tion, attend to the duties of the office
myself. DAVID BLACK,
Huntingdon, Sept. 23, 1803-3 t
Who are Responsible for the Draft ?
If the bogus Democratic papers, and
unprincipled politicians, bad not oppo
sed the Government in the prosecution
of the war against the rebels—if the
war had not been denounced as a war
for the freeing of the negro—had it
not been denounced as an Abolition
war—had the traitors north not influ
enced their party friends from volun
teering—had they given aid to our
loyal President and the loyal army in
stead of discouraging our army and
holding up and strengthening the
hands of Jeff Davis and his rebel crew,
our army would have been full of pa
triot volunteers, and a draft unneces
sary. Who then is responsible fur all
that is complained of in enforcing the
draft ? The bogus Democratic leaders
are the responsible parties. They
have kept this cruel war upon our
hands, and if they should succeed in
electing Woodward and Vallandigham,
many thousands more of our patriotic
young men will fall on the battle-field
before the war is brought to a close.--
Young men, and fathers of young men,
give the Union army a victory at the
ballot-box.
Who has placed the White Soldier
on an Equality with the Negro ?
Every voter knows that the negro
has no right to vote. And every voter
knows that the soldiers from Pennsyl
vania now in the service of their coun
try, also have no votes. Who has de
prived our soldiers of the . .tight to vote?
Woodward, the bogus Democratic can
didate for Governor. lie occupies a
scat on the Supreme Bench, and he
wrote the opinion declaring the law
which gave the soldiers a right to vote,
unconstitutional; thus depriving our
soldiers of the right to vote, and pla
cing them down upon a level with the
negro. Will the soldier who may be
at home on the day of election vote
for the man who has insulted the best
blood of the State ? Will the soldiers'
friends vote for Woodward, the aristo
crat and traitor ? We cannot see how
it is possible for any truly loyal man
to vole for Woodward. Loyal men,
Democratic war men, Union men to
whatever party you have heretofore
been attached, labor for your liberty,
your lives, and for your country, now,
and continue to labor as long as your
enemies, the traitors in the North and
the rebels in the South, oppose you
with arms in their hands, or at the
ballot-box. 'Vote for Andrew G. Cur
tin, the soldiers' friend, the candidate
of the groat Union party.
Honest Dave Caldwell, County Trea-
ME
We asserted in our last issue, that
if Benj. Long, the bogus Democratic
candidate, should be elected, Dave
Caldwell would be the Treasurer, in
fact, and would have the handling of
all the money coming into and passing
through the office. Since then we
have been informed by reliable Demo
crats, that Dave Caldwell has been
lying around town loose, for the year
past, in hopes of getting into a position
where lie might have an opportunity
to handle the people's money. Being
very unpopular himself, and having
been beaten in one of the strongest
Democratic townships last fall when
ho run for Sheriff, ho secured the nom
ination of Treasurer for Mr. Long,
with the understanding that he, Cald
well, would pay all the campaign ex
penses of Mr. Long, and if elected, give
him a certain per cent. of the actual
profits of the office, and he, honest Dave,
to farm the office. These statements
aro facts, sustained by one other very
important fact, that Mr. Long, within
the past two weeks has been in Bed
ford county looking out for a location
to open a store.
honest voters of the county,• can
you vote for Dave Caldwell Can
you assist to place a man in control of
your money who twelve jurymen
would not believe on his oath ? Can
you encourage dishonesty ? Can you
again give honest Dave another oppor
tunity to take money out of your
pockets as ho did while he was Pro
thonotary of the county. If you wish
to have the office in honest hands, vote
for DAVID BLACK, an honest, and in
dustrious, hard-working mechanic, a
respectable, responsible, and loyal and
deserving citizen of your county.—
Nothing of the kind eon be said of Dave,
Caldwell, who will be the acting Coun
ty Treasurer should Mr. Black be de
feated.

What Woodward and Vallandigham
Will Do.
"If Woodward and T r allandigham
were elected, with Seymour and Parker,
they would unite in calling from the army
the troops from their respective States, for
the purpose of compelling the Administra
tion to invite a Convention of the Sates
to adjust our difficulties."—Extract of a
speech delivered by Mester Clymer,
at Somerset, Pa.
—There is no disguise about all
this. Taken in conjunction with the
confessions of the Harrisburg Patriot
cf Union, a tory sheet, the declara
tions of Clymer may be regarded as
the fixed policy of the copperhead; a
policy to end this war by the destruc
tion of the National Government.—
This narrows clown the issues in the
present political campaign to the
simple question, Shall Abraham Lin
coln, the Constitutionally elected and
Constitutionally inaugurated President
of the United States, be allowed in
peace to administer the Government
of the said States? or shall Jefferson
Davis, a traitor and usurper, who has
participated in the murder of hundreds
and thousands of Union men—who
has been instrumental iu laying waste
largo tracts of fruitful, peaceful and
prosperous territory—who has repudi
ated the Constitution—who has con
spired to destroy the Union—who has
sworn to spread slavery all over the
free states—shall this rebel and traitor
establish a Government over that
inaugurated by the heroes of the Revo
lution These are now the questions in
volved in the campaign fur Governor
of the State of Pennsylvania. If Cur
tin is elected Governor, Lincoln will
continue, as he was elected, the Con.
stitutioual President of the United
States. If Woodward succeeds to the
Gubernatorial succession in the State,
then will come local rebelliOn—then
will follow a conflict of jurisdiction, a
collision with the national authorities
and Pennsylvania at war with the
National Government. Nothing could
be plainer than all this. It is an issue
which the Copperheads have boldly
made. Their speakers advance it on
the stump and their scribes urge it in
their journals. Hence every man can
vote knowingly. He can knowingly
vote for Woodward and rebellion, or
lie can vote for Curtin and the safety
of the National Government by the
support of the
,National Administra
tion.
Invasion—the Game of th 3 Rebels
and theßecipreoitios of their Allies.
IVO have had dark hints and vague
rumors of late, (says the Harrisburg
Tchgraph,) as to the design of the Re
bels, and the raids which they con
template--on -Maryland and Pennsylva-
Ms. 'We have had rumors on the
streets of the. State Capital, within
twenty-four hours, that the rebels
were even now making demonstra
tions of' an advance northward, and
that Lee was preparing again to pre
cipitate his hosts of out throats into
the peaceful valleys of Pennsylvania,
there to incite them to rapine, plunder
and murder, once again in the name
of slavery and Democracy. Whatever
there may be in these rumors, we be
lieve that the extent of the operations
designed to be carried on by the reb
els, and the exact point at which Lee
intends to aim future blows at the
North, are both as well known to the
Copperhead Central Committee as
they are to the Confederate Govern
ment. Wo believe as firmly that the
chairman of that State Contra! Com
mittee is as well posted with refbrence
to Lee's movements as is any Member
of the rebel government. It is 'Wirral
that these parties should bo apprised
and acquainted with each other's
movements and designs. One cannot
succeed without the co-operation of the
other. The rebellion would have long
since been a failure, had the sympathy
it received from the North never boon
allowed to flow Southward—grad the
Democratic leaders been tp4do answer
able for their treason beneath a gib
bet's beams. So with the prospect of
the political allies of treason. here
in Pennsylvania, their only hope of'
success depends on some successful
movement by which large bodies of
men will •be called to the army, and
then by the decision of Justice Wood
ward, establish the disfranchisement
of such as these and thus carry the
election for Woodward, Lowrie and
treason.
This is our view of invasion as it is
talked of and now threatened. Wo
believe that the rebels will attempt
cavalry raids between this and the
day of election. We believe that they
have been advised to attempt these
raids by the friends of Woodward,
with the object of giving eolht to trai
tor daring and enterprise, and of ac
complishing the certain triumph of
Woodward at tho polls. Of course
both objects will fail. Neither fraud
or force will be able to secure the elec
tion of the friend of traitors, George
W. Woodward, as Governor of Penna.
The army of the Potomac is ever at
the heels or ready to confront the cut
throats of Leo, And the army of loy
al men in Pennsylvania will meet and
defeat, at the polls, the copperhead
allies of these traitors.
Thus the objects of this beautiful
plan of invasion, arranged between the
Cabinet of Richmond and the Copper
head State Central Committee at Phil
adelphia, will be frustrated.
See that every Union voter is as
sessekl ten days before the election.
Keep it Before the Voter,
That George W. Woodward, in 1857
opposed the right of foreigners to be
come atizens of the United States.
ills plea in opposition to the naturali
zation of the foreigner amounted to
the charge, that the Irish are too
treacherous and the Dutch to merce
nary, for the high political privilege
of American citizenship
That if George W. Woodward's doc
trines with regard to foreigners were
now the law of the land, the gallant
Irish hero, Meagher, would be in the
position of a slave, disfranchised by a
Government for whose safety be crim
soned himself with his own blood—and
Sigle, the undaunted German veteran,
would he in the same position, after
he had fought like a lion in defence of
the Union. And with these brave
leaders would fall thousands of others
from the native lands of each, all de
graded by the disfranchisement policy
of George W. Woodward.
That George W. Woodward gave
encouragement and comfort to the re
bellion when it was precipitated, and
that he has applauded all its acts, from
the murdering of defenceless women
and children to the sacking of unarm
ed villages, on the plea that the slave
'holders had reserved rights in slave
property, for the defence of which
they were justified in going to any
length in war, and to any extreme in
atrocity.
That George Woodward declared
negro slavery to ho an incalcula
ble blessing, to think against which
was infidelity and to oppose which
was a crime,
That George W. Wood Nvard is pledg
ed to oppose the national Government
should he be elected Governor of Penn
sylvania, in all its efforts to crush re
bellion, by refusing to allow the col
lection of the national taxes, by order
ing the stoppage of the draft, and by
attempting the withdrawal of such of
the troops of Pennsylvania as are al,
ready in tho field gallantly fighting
for the defence of the Union and the
Constitution,
Its,. Persons in this county having
unsettled claims against the United
States for supplies, etc., furnished the
Government during the recent rebel
raid, will find a notice in our adverti
sing columns of some interest.

Suspension of the Habeas Corpus
By the President of the United States of
America:
A PROCLA ICATION. •
Wuzur.As, The Constitution of the
United States of America has ordained
that the privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus shall not be suspended unless
when in cases of rebellion or invasion
the public safety may require it; and
whereas, a rebellion was existing on
the 3d day of March, 1863, which
rebellion is still existing; and
whereas, by a statute which was ap
proved on that day it was enacted by
the Senate, and Nouse of Represent
atives in Congress assembled, that
during the present insurrection the
President of the United States when,.
ever in his judgment the public safety
may require, is authorized to suspend
the writ of habeas corpus. in any case,
throughout the United States or any
part thereof; and whereas, in the
judgment of the president of the
United States the public safety does
require that the privilege of said writ
shall now be suspended throughout
the United States in the cases when,
by the authority of the President of
the United States, the military,
naval, and civil officers of the
United States, or any of them,
hold persons under their command or
in their custody, either as prisoners of
war, spies or :titters or abettors of' the
enemy, or officers, soldiers or seamen
enrolled, drafted or mustered or enlist
ed in or belonging to the land or naval '
officers of the United States, or as de
serters therefrom, or otherwise amen-
able to military law or the rules and
articles of war, or the rules or regula
tions prescribed for the military or
naval service by authority of the pres
ident
of the United States, or for resis
ting a draft, or for any other offence
against the military or naval service;
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lin
coln, President of the United States,
do hereby proclaim and make known
to all whom it may concern, that the
privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is
suspended throughout the United
States in the several cases before men
tioned, and that this suspension will
continue throughout the duration Mho
said rebellion; or until this proclama
tion shall, by a subsequent ono to be
issued by the president of the United
States, ho modified or revoked. And
I do hereby require all magistrates,
attorneys and other civil officers within
the United States, and all officers and
others in the military and naval
services of the United States, to take
distinct notice of this suspension and
to give it full effect, and all citizens of
the United States to conduct and gov
ern themselves accordingly and in
conformity with the constitution
of the United States and the laws
of Congress in such cases made and
provided.
In testimony whereof I hereunto set
my hand and cause the seal of the Uni
ted States to be affixed, this fifteenth
day of September in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-three, (1863) and of the Indepen
dence of the United States of America
the eighty-eighth.

Threat°lle 1;
Lee Urged to Advance to Help the De-
mocraey.
If any one has doubted heretofore
that there is a complete and thorough
understanding between the Southern
traitors and their Northern allies now
striving to elect Judge Woodward in
this Sate, let them read the following
editorial from the Richmond Enquirer,
the acknowledged organ of Jeff Davis.
If, after reading such evidence of the
guilty complicity of the leaders North
and South to break up the Govern
ment of our fathers, there are any re
maining unconvinced, they deserve to
be denounced as parties consenting to
the diabolical plot. Are our people
willing again to see our borders rava
ged by Lee's invading hosts ? If so,
let them at once come forth and bold
ly proclaim that they favor the rebel
cause and the rebel conspirators. This
would be the manly course, even the'
it covered them with confusion and
eternal shame. Read this precious ar
ticle, and see bow thoroughly anxious
the rebels are to help elect Judge
Woodward. Governor of Pennsylvania:
" TIII: ROAD TO PEACE."
[Prom the Richmond Enquirer, Sep. 7.]
The approaching session of the Uni
ted States Congress will be one of no
ordinary intereA. During its deliber
ations, the Presidential campaign of
IS6-1 will be marked out. Political
parties will, in the next session of,
Congress, arrange the platform of
principles that each will advocate be
fbre the people, as well as unmask the
gross corruptions that war has produ
ced. The contest for the speakership
of the House of flepresentatives will
be one of great excitement; if the
Democrats are successful, their speak
er will have the arrangement and ap
pointment of the various committees
which prepare business for the House,
as well as all those investigating com
mittees on the conduct of the war,
the committee on contracts, the sup
pression of newspapers, and the arrest
and imprisonment of individuals.
The reports of these committees will
form the groundwork of the next
Presidential campaign. Should Meade
be driven into Washington, and the
capital of the United States be belga
gured by the confederate army, the'
conduct of the war will receive such
a blow from which neither Vicksburg,
nor Port Hudson will relieve it. If
the Administration should find its ar
my in the third Year of the war stint
lip in Washington, Mr. Lincoln's mes
sage would be deprived of all its glo
rification over the summer campaign.
His management of military affairs
will stand a confessed failure, and his
unfitness for the position of Comman
der-in-Chief will become patent to ev
ery man. Of what avail will the cap
tive of Vicksburg and Port Hudson,
the repulse at Gettysburg. and the
scigo of Charleston prove, if Meade,
driven into Washington is__ unable tO
rescue the capital Trom the insults ofa
beleaguring army? In vain will Hal
leek point to Grant, and Gilmore if
the army of the Potomac is forced to
crouch under the fortifications of Wash
ington, and cower before the advance
of Lee. The friends of McClellan
will assail the administration for more
shameful failures than those for which
he was dismissed; tney will point to
the besieging army, and ask for the
proofs of the victory at Gettysburg;
they will inquire into the " escape" of
Lee; and, parading the administra•
tion accounts of the battle of Gettys- ,
burg, ask why Lee was not bagged ?
Meade besieged Washington will
be incontrovertible evidence of the
falsehood perpetrated upon the public.
Should General Lee cross into -Ma
ryland, the embarrassment of Lincoln
would increase; his victorious army,
unable to take the field and attempt
the repetition of Sharpsburg and Get
tysburg, would be compelled to re
main in Washington, while General
Lee marched whithersoever he wish
ed intg Maryland and Pennsylvania.
The success of the Democratic party
would be no longer doubtful should Gen
eral Lee once advance on Meade. Par
ties in the United States are so nearly
balanced that the least advantage thrown
in favor of one tilt insure its success.
Should the Confederate army remain
quiescent on the banks of the Rappa
hannock, the boastful braggadocia of
Yankee reports will be confirmed, and
Lincoln and Halleck will point in tri
umph to the crippled condition of the
Confederate army as ecfifirmation of
the great victory won in Pennsylva
nia. The Democrats unable to gainsay
such evidence, will be constrained to enter
the contest for Speakership shorn of the
principal part of their strength—the dis
grace mismanagement andconduct of the
war.
Gen. Leo must turn politician as
well as warrior, and we believe that
he will prove the most successful poli
tician the Confederacy ever produced.
He'may so move and direct his army as
to produce political results which, in their
bearing upon this war, will prove more
effectual than the bloodiest victories Let
him drive Meade into Washington,
and he will again raise the spirits of
the Democrats, confirm their timid, and
give confidence to the wavering. lie will
embolden the Peace party should he
again cross the .Potomac, for be will
show the people of Pennsylvania how
little security they have from Lincoln
for the protection of their homes.
It matters not whether this advance
be made for purposes of permanent
occupation, or simply for a grand raid;
it will demonstrate that, in the
third year of the war, they aro so far
from the subjugation of the Confeder
ate States tha ,- , the defence of Ifary
land and Pennsylvania has not been
secured.
A fall campaign in Pennsylvania,
with the hands of our suldiers untied, not
for indiscriminate plunder—demoral
izing and undisciplining the army—
but a campaign for a systematic and
organized retaliation and punishment,
would arouse the popular mind to the
uncertainty and insecurity of Pennsyl
vania. This would react upon the
representatives in Congress strengthen
ing the Democrats, and mollifying oven
to the hard shell of fanaticism itself.
The damages which the last cam
paign inflicted, if augmented V ano•
ther this fall, when presented to the
Lincoln Government, would unless
paid, greatly exasperate the people
against an administration which nei
ther defends the State, nor reimburses
its citizens for losses which its own
imbecility has produced. And if these
damages aro paid the debt is increas
ed, the taxes raised, and the burdens
imposed will accomplish the same end.
Let the great and important fact
be constantly kept in a tangible and
threatening aspect before the people
of Pennsylvania, that, notwithstand
ing they have opened the Mississippi,
and are besieging Charleston, and
threatening East Tennessee, and Geor
gia, I;nd Alabama, that notwithstand
ing all this, Pennsylvania is not safe
from invasion, and Washington city:
is again beleaguered in this third year•
of the war. The road to peace lies
through Pennsylvania via Trashitig,494:
Loyal voters of Pennsylvania, is the
above not sufficient evidence to satisfy
you that Jeff Davis' army of traitors
are working in harmony with theterea
sonable bogus Democratic organiza
tion in the North to destroy this Gov
ernment. Can you vote for Wood:
ward and still claim to be a Union
man ? We think not.
WnEN a man acts the part of a trai
tor, he is mean enough to say or de
anything. On last Friday, there was
a bogus Democratic meeting at Met
Alavy's Fort. Speer was there, and
on Saturday morning, after ho return:
ed home lie reported through town that,
John Love, Esq., of Barre°, a true Un-.
ion Democrat, had acted as a Vie
President of the meeting. Mr. Love
heard of the falsehood being in circu
lation, and came to town on Monday
to have his name stricken from the
list of officers. lle stated to us that
be was at the meeting as a looker-on,
and like many others came away strop,
ger in the Union faith than ever, and
if his name was used as one of the Vice
Presidents, it was done without his.
knowledge or consent. A Union man
such as John Love i's, can't be used as
a tool by Speer, Caldwell, & Co.
