THE PRESIDENCY.
UNION MEETING IN INDEPEN
DENCE SQUARE.
AN IMMENSE ATTENDANCE
BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY - . OF FIELIYOUITS.
Speeches by Don. Charles O'Neill, David Pau
Brown,,John P. Verree, Carl Schurz;
Thomas Pitzgeraid, , Wm. White . W
Dams, Capt. Omer, and When.
On Saturday evening the closing demonstration
of the campaign by our Union citizens was made
in Independence Square.: Like the last, it was a
perfect success in numbers' and spirit., Each of the
three platforms from which Speeches were made
were crowded round with listeners, who, despite
the excessively raw and cold air, which made even
overcoats feel none too comfortable, were attentive
and lull of ready appreCiation of_the remarks ad-
dressed to them. These throngs extended their con
centric ,cireles of men and women, soldiers, lei:
terns and transparencies far out into the square,
until the outermost circles merged in each other,
and seemed to fill the whole area. The streets
bounding the square—Ohestriut, Walnut, Fifth and.
Sixth, wore also crowdedlwith people moving to and
fro ; people in knots listening to some wise debate ;
men and boys marching to, their own vocal music,,
with torch:lights and banners amising themselves
and diverting the spectators • all orderly gather
ings. = There were, no, considerable breaches of the
peace—not even an approach to what many croak..
era have been prophesying and hoping to, come to
pass.
MAIN STAND.
The meeting at . the main stand was organized
about 8 o'clock, by the election of Samuel H. Par
kinS, Esq., as president, who took his seat after
briefly stating the objects of the meeting. Ile then
introduced Chits. Gibbons, who read the following
.
resolutions, prefacing them thewith a short and well
received speech: •
.ResoLved, That the maintenance of the Government of
the Dnion, which acts immediately upon the people. de
fending their liberate and securing them in all their
rights reservedirom legislative powers, is the highest
and mat sacred duty of. the American citizen.:
Resolved, That we cannot recognize in the mein:lons
of the Chicago Convention the. sentiments or poilcrof
any political party that has ever rixiated in the United
States. They contemplate notlidig in the.present crisis
of our affairs but what would bring dishonor upon our
country, and 'nothing in the future •Imt what would
produckcontention and, war.. •
Resolved, That inasmuch as Abraham Lincoln is
,the
only candidate before the people for the P. esideney
ho represents thetinioh in its integrity, and' who has
been tried by the people and proved faithful ia..his
great office, he is the only one who is now deserving,of
their c. nlidence and their Notes..
Resolved, That the gratitude of the country is ticitio
the army and navy of the United States for th it hatar
able services, which have saved the Qoverp isnt,nd
strengthened the cause of justice, liberty, and Unioil; •
Resolved, That the recent dircovery or a wide-spread,
conspiracy on the part of the adherents of IfcCiellan
aid Pendleton to secure for them the electoral votes of .
New York and Pennsylvania-by means of forgery, per
jury, and frond, sboald admonish the friends of the
00Nernment et erywhero to be vigilant and ditigeot in
detecting and punishing such outrages.upon the dearest
rights of the people.
BrEBOR OF DAVIT) PAUL BROWN, 'ESQ. •
David Paul - Brown, Esq., was next introduced.
' He was received with applause, and in a paternal
,way procetded to impress upon his hearers the du
ties,. as good Citizens, they had to perforin next Tees
day. Isis remarks were received in the'sause plea
ant spirit in which they were offered. lie desired
them to bear him forbis cause and to be silent Mato
they might hear. Redid not like the platform on
which he steed.: It' was true it was - not very rick.
etty, and answered all its purposes, but it was like
the 'Democratic , platform. It held but few, and
kept all the
_patriotic masses out. [Laughter and
applause.] Now, he intended to make a very short
speech, only one-fourth of ono, and to it he asked
their attention, for, as ho had said time after time,
'words were not, wanted at the present time. They
had already made promises, but he would say at
the very outset that they had not kept them, and
how that was they-would soon - learnt They had
faithfully promised, rio doubt, to stand by the Re
public, by the weal of this vast community—
to stand by. them in their extremest - peril.
They promised, and he" had'had the right %to
expect, that they would secure to themselves -more
than twenty thousand majority in the . State of
Pennsylvania. Instead of that they had achieved
but a some*hat-problematical home victory.:- Why`
was that I Was It because they placed toce`dich •
_reliance on their gallant brethremwho-welo Tfr.totibt.:
ing / them in their liberties—in the cobitortable
• enjoyment of their homes? If so,*they should be'
ashaMed of themselves. They should put their
own shoulders to the wheel, and 'not be implor-z
il3 g Hercules for aid, [Laughter and applause.]
It they expected their brethren to aid them at the
time that they were around them a, living wall, fight
ing and dying for their protection, they were
doing wrong. Though the soldiers fought well,'
and as they fought, voted well, it was no .reason
why the people should rely on them for a double
support; or they might bring.rmin and desolation, on
the country. Every man should now be jr, finenced
by real 'patriotism, not professions of it; the Union
bad need for deeds, not
.werds. [Applause]. If
they did not attend 'to their duties now, their'
country would soon - become subjected to the
reproaches and contumely of the whole awl-
Bred world. Never, since the creation, . never,
in the 'history of ' the world, was there a, eon-.
test so' fraught with Important results, 'it._ was only important to the men of to-day in its effcts
on the permanence of ,our country—in the IllaStang
''of our liopesbut it was important to. our prepay
to the latest moment of 'tilde. Public_ happleess
was involved in it. The meeting. which was at
tended by so many thousands was - not a mere pa
geant or a mimic 'display orpatriotilth,.but a re
cognition of the important facts he had , men
tioned, of the momentous qUestionwhichWed in prb
cess of rolution. The oppressed -of all the world,
the people of all the new republics that ***just
emerging above the' horizon 'of life, were calling
upon the people of the 'United States to Vindicate
themselves and the great truth 'of self-gbvernment
we have sought to give reality, not to plunge our
Gentlemen
fabric intoanarchy and ruin by bur Own act.
Gentlemen of the jury [laughter], for they were.a
jury of his countrymen, said Mr. Brown, you are to
bring in your verdict on Tuesday next, settling the. ,
fate of the country. On it depended the existenceof
the Union ' whether it should live or die ; whether a
confederacy which had roared itself within our con
fines, organized and headed by Jeff Davis, a Knight
of the Garter, one of the Sone of Liberty [laughter],
should perish. -George B. McClellan was one of
the opposing elements in their deliberations. He
had, however, nothing againsthim, for he never did
anything: - [Laughter.] Then there was Horatio
Seymour, the prince of ballot-box stuffers [laugh

himself, -who had been travelling downwards for

Were the men, these the - leaders. Then came
Tom, Dick, and' Harry, the rag, tag -and bob-tail,
[laughter] and the dogs, too, barking and yelping
at everything the Administration did and said.
These' were .all that were arraigned against the
Union. It was not the Democratic pasty. If.
the present party deserved such a name, it would be
found that It was doing precisely what the rebels
and traitors were doing. There was scarcely one of
the menwho acted -with it-when it was an honors
%tile party. who were with. it- now. It -was made
not the remnants, of the-fragments, of, the excre- •
meat of all the parties of.the. last thirty.years, and
of all the diappointed men of-the last-thirteen.. It
bad suited itself to the - whims. of a rebel and ribald
crew, and had departed long ago from thakoachings
of Andrew Tackaon, and Tames Mattson and.
Thomas Jefferson, and the other greatosties of
f
Democracy: The good and the great m had long

but, of course, . " nothing-. good . could come out of

' stitut ion, and was instrumental in the present war.
He believed and taught that 'seceraion was wrong,.
but in the same breath assured us that there was,
no law to punish it. He had latterly grown rusty,
- and had certainly forgotten his books when he
prated of arbitrary. arrests. Mr. Brown showed
that Jefferson hiteself had , made arbitrary arrests,
and bad been borne out' inthem by Chief Justice
Marshall. The speaker . discussed this subject at
some length. Concluding4ts consideration, he said
that' there was but."one Issue, 'and that was' our
country. [Applause.] Every other consideration
was secondary to the preservation' of this Union,

[Great cheers.] And now, my fellow-citizens, what
would this Democratio party have do 1 It met
at Chicago and made a platform, just as it had done
in yeare.before,•for party and nothing but party, for

SPEECH OP BEV. WM. WaITE WILLIAMS.
Rev. Wm. White Williams was the next speaker:
He said that he was a Presbyterian minister, and
no politician. The times required of all classes of
people that they should avow their devotion to their
country. He did not consider the present political
campaign as a purely political one. -He looked at
it from the higher stand-point of Christian morality.
A ruthless foe was assailing our Government, and
it was no time for even the ministeirof the Gospel
to hold himself aloof from the contest on the ground
that it has assuintd a political bearing. 'Ho did not
intend to disouss the question, but merely to add his
condemnation of the treason that would sunder the
Union. Ever since the days of Calhoun the Southern
leaders have been plotting this rebellion. And
why 1" Because they saw their power waning, and
were anxious for a slave empire. This was really an
infernal rebellion. He thanked God that the ministry.
of Christ were so unanimous against the rebellion;
and when Judge Black abused the clergy the other
night, because • they were for Mr. Lincoln, he paid
them a very high compliment,.[Applause.) This
is no time for party—all denomiations should rally
about the country. The old line -Democrats are do
ing good service. Generals Meagher and Butler,
Democrats of pure stamp, are now. for the Union.
The- ;ally of all•loyal men about the flag of the .
country is the best sign of the tinics. What are the
charges against the • Administration I There is not
one of them that cannot be refuted by every Cop
perhead if he'ohose to be honest. Copperheads may
coil around the side of the national ensign, but their
day of destruction is drawing near. The best men of
all parties • are with us. Archbishop Purcell, of
the Catholic ()hare'', is with us; Bishop Simpson, of
the Methodist Church, is as ardent a friend of the
Government that he has no equal for loyalty.
Who are our opponents I Such mon as Yallandig
ham, Wood, Pendleton, and others of that Stamp:
There is no truly loyal man with the McClellan
party: Gov. Seymour and Benedict Arnold stand
side by - side in political principles. They both 'pro
claim that the freedom of. speech is suppressed;
they both complain of illegal arrests, and conlisca
tions and so•on. - : Should McClellan be elected, his
Secretary of State would be Horatio Seymour, and
this is the man who spoke to the New York rioters as
his "friends.' , McClellan was willing to surrender
his army • when he might have taken Riohmond.
To call him a traitor would be charitable, but he
certainly is a coward. - McClellan naver had. a - mind'
of his; own, and cannot stand in comparison with .
Mr. Lbiboln. . Oar honest Chief Magistrate has
arisen from the people ; a man who, though ho may
be slow, is - always sure. Ho is 'really the noblest of
Americans, and he should receive the heartiest en
dorsement of the loyal North. . •

SPEECH or CAPTAIN CURRY
Captain Curry, of the 4th Delaware Regiment,
just from the front, Was introduced. He was a good
deal, he said, like the Democratic party, pretty
near played out. He knew that his' gallant com
rades would rejoice when they heard of• the .great
gathering here , to-night. These infernal traitors,
trotn McClellan - down to the' last lelacellelligan of
the perty fie knew'no other name for them' but
traitors. He 'would rather be facing the enemy in
the entrenchments'at Petersburg than be trusting to
the treason of Copperheads at his back. He thanked
God that we had a mah at -the helm who
would bring the rebellion to a speedy close.
Jimmy -Buchanan sat in the •Presidential chair at
ashington, like a poultice drawing . the rebellion
to a head. The firat shot that was firedett Sumpter
broke the tree of liberty off at its trank. These
men-tell us they—would not be in this party ex
cept that it' Is-the Democratic party. Because a
mans -a
,child, is he going to stay .a child all,his
life' In the ranks 'of the Union - party might be

I sometimes hear a young man say, "My father was
a Democrat, and therefore lam a Democrat." But
the young man's logic is not sound ; his ignorance Is
lamentable. [Laughter.] The Democrats of Jack

living [" That's so."] The. Union party. is the
true somatic party. Its motto is "the greatest
good to the greatest number." ["Good.' ] Abra

and the "stern statesman"—Mr. - Reed's "stern
statesman," [laughter]-1s the greatest (involun
tary) Aboitionist. [Laughter.]
.For years we have
been wondering howme should go to work to abolish
slavery, what we should do with the slaves after
they became free, when, just In the nick of time,
the "stern statesman" rebels, and brings on war,
and 10, the 'difficult prOblem is solved. 'There's an
AbolitionLst .lor you! [Laughter"' The most sac
oessful Abolitionist of them all. [" Overshot his

arrop ant slaveholder is down on his knees, begging former slaves not . to desert the old plantation ;
to stay and work, and he'll pay. them big wages, and
'be very much obliged to them into the bargain.
["That's so."] And the black is willing to remain
with his former master; he don't want to come
North; indeed, he cannot be coaxed or driven North.
On the contrary, the Northern Negro. yearns to go.
South. The genial climate of the South. is better

teamsters who travelled • through the town. This
business
. went on for a number of years . One - day,

the patriotism of the (mason.

_that Air. Jackson, the pyrotechnist; was • ready

Some of 'these pieces were transcendently beau.

highest perfection of 'the' brilliant, art, of pyro

dense multitude that thronged the sacred enclo

ANOTHER OUTRAGE ON THE SOLDIERS.
.:An outrage that strikes at the very .root and
foundation of the whole of our systeth of govern
ment was perpetrated on Friday last, at Mellon
nellsburg, in Fulton county, in this State, by per
sons styling themselves Democrats. , The Sixteenth
Judicial district of this State is composed of the
counties of Bedford, Franklin, Fulton, and Somer
set. In consequence of the decease of the president
judge last spring, the qualified electors of the dis
trict were called upon to elect another judge in his
place. For this position the Union people nomi
nated the Hon. G eo. King, of Bedford, and the so
called Dpinperats nominated a Dir. Kimmell, of
Chambersburg.
When the return judges of Bedford county niet
to make up the returns, they imagined themselves
the people, and lawlessly decided to reject, the whole
return of the soldiers' votes'. The return judges of
Fulton county at their meeting rejected a part of
the soldiers' votes. This was supposed to be sulk ,
dent to accomplish the object Intended, but on Fri-.
day last a return judge from eadi of- the counties
in the district met at bleaonnellsburg,.the &minty
town of Fulton county, according to. law. : -Here it
was discovered that notwithstanding the illegal re
jection of the votes 'of our braire soldiers (some of
whom voted for their own candidate) by the judges
of Bedford and Fulton
,counties, yet the.majority of
the whole , vote returned was In favor of. Judge.
king. This, of course, would not suit their tofu
poses, and this board of four men, the return judges
of Bedford, Franklin, and Fulton, 'uniting against
the judge from Somerset, substituting themselves
in place of the people, in clear violation of the 16,3 v
of the land, in opposition to the dedsion of a Demo
cratic judge (Ludlow) inlB6l upon the mandamus'
against the return judges of this county, - rejected
enough additional yotes from the returns presented
to change thiresult, and then they declared Mr,
Kimmell elected. Of course this outrage will not
be successful ; a contest will be tried before the Le
gislature, and this "Dir. Kimmeß will be hurled . '
from the seat which he could only obtain by . a gross,
palpable fraud.
. Fellow-citizens, we appeal to you, by all you hold
sacred; by all the ties that unite you to your country,
to Separate yourselves from a class of 'persons who,
while professing a love for the largest liberty, yet
vote to prevent our brave volunteers from exercising
the right of suffrage, who, through, their leaders,
sanction the robbing the graves of the honored dead
for their names, to beTused in casting fraudulent
votes, and who, when they fail by all these means,
through their agents, wilfully falsify and alter the
returns to suit their purposes.' Remember that men
are judged by the company they keep, and if yoa
are found in. such company, and willingly"iet with
them, yOu must not be surprised if you are deemed
and taken to be equally guilty.
Your only true plan to save your own good name •
is' to' instantly and entirely withdraw yourselves
from such ashoolitions, and thus escape the obloquy
and contempt that all truly good men must feel for
the guilty authors, • agents, and associates with

that Were delivered. In the evening there was a
i 4 r g e torchlight procession by the Union friends.
This wola undoubtedly the moat Imposing display of
•torobes, 4anners with various mottoes, fireworks,
music, &04:that watt ever witnessed in Easton. The
procession Was very large ; it moved througa o n
the principe streets or the town, and finally stop.
ped in the equ'are before the stand erected for the
speakers. In Many parts of the town the streets
were lined with Spectators admiring the splendid
parade.
The Ron. Amos Myers of Clarion coUnty, Mem=
her of Congress, adAressed the large assembly, biotin
in the afternoon and evening, in a most happy and
effective manner. On each oocaskm he spoke over
an hour, and scarcely a. man budged from his posi
tion during the whole t eager was every oar
tolear 'every word that tell from the speaker's lips.
With argument he combined a fall slmre of anec
dotes, and thus, while he entertained, he instruoted.
and reached the judgment. The style of the'
speaker is plain, forcible, and pleating, and in a
few minutes ha attaches the audience to him, whlok ,
he theacoptrols at will,
He argued the distinction between a rebel and re
volinionist, a point that was oleavly stated, forcibly
presented, and pressed home with great force. An
other .point well taken was, that at the firing oe
Sumpter by, the rebels there wan but one %voice •
throughout the whole North condemning the rebels
and the rebellion, While now the whole Copperhead
party no longer condemned the rebellion or' the re
bels. The.queation propounded was, what made
the rebellion right in 1864, so that we should cease
hostilities and inakepeace, if it-Was wrong inlB6l t -
This part of the argument produced a market im
pression upon the audience. It staggered acme of
the Copperheads present. It was further argued
that. If the rebellion was wrong in 1861, no errors or
shortcomings of - Abraham Lincoln could make it
right in 1864. 'The speaker then passed_ on to the
Chicago platform,, which lie dissected in an able.
manner, and with it' considered Gee. McCiellanie.
letter. In a most graphic manner he painted the
Copperhead orators in .the present campaign, and
how they Will appear when the rebellion shall have.
been. crushed. Then they will go , forth to seek
- friends, but they win find none; then they will seek
hiding places, but they will find none that
win
shelter them from the public gaze, and secure them
against the righteous indignation of an outraged
populace. The two speeches delivered by Mr. My
ers . will long be remembered by our citizens, and
his first appearance will not ba forgotten, either by
himself or the people, for many years.
The other speaker of the occasion was the Rev.
. Mr. Dennison, a Baptist clergyman, of Philadel
phia. He has served in the army as a private with
hie musket, and as a chaplain both on the field and
in the,hospitil: The two speeches delivered by him
yesterday were very able and eloquent. He is per
fectly familiar with the history of the rebellion, eat
he speaks from personal experience on -many sub
jects. In former years he belonged to the Demooree
tic party, and therefore ho can address felleow-De
mocrats.with some right. He had the undivided
attention of the andience during the whole time he
spoke.. In this brief notice we do not pretend to
give even a synopsis of the two yens' able and elo
quentaireheedenVered on this occasion in the af
ternoon and evening.
This grand gathering was a decided success, and
we have reason to believe that good will result from
it to the good Cause: The ball is rolling, the world
is moving, and the friends of the Union• in North
ampton county.are not idle. They hope to be able
to give a good•report of themselves on next Tuesday.

Armawrovr.s, Nov. 4, 1864.
The Presidential campaign is progressing here
with much spirit on the side of the Union.. Although
the temporary'preponderance In the political scales,
which the Weaned Democraoy,lias gained through
its appeals - to' the baser Sentiments of the people,
looks very formidable, still, a strong Union feeling
la gradually growing pp, which ere long will assert
itself, to the dismay.and latter destruction of the
.friends of treason and rebellion in this region.
Our people are alive to • the great issue at stake,
andS Faits d meetings are bellig nightly h eld through
out the °minty. -Last night a large and enthusiast!.
crowd met in the Centre. Square, in this place, to
hear Hon; Atha Myers, who delivered one of the
most telling splileches we have yet listened to. Mr.
Myers has performed good service here. He spoke
at. various points in this county to large and appro.
• dative audiences, ana has accomplished much good.
He left here this morning for Easton, where he will
speak to-night. This corner .of our State, though
now full :of political darkness and superstition,
we live in the hopethat the light of knowledge will
soon dawn upon It. I hope that God may speed that
day: YAITH.

.110MCICS DUE TO M'CLELLAN'S HESITANCY
We extract from Gen. Ewing's Military History the
followitg account of the battle of Rioh Mountain.
General Ewing is'an officer well known in the West,
Midis a brother-in-law of General Sherman :
Ori the 6th 'of May, 1861, I was appointed by the
Governor of Ohio "Brigade Inspector of the ad
Brigade," with rank of major,
and was actively
employed at Camp Dennison in drilling the troops,
instructing men and officers on guard, patrol, and
police duties, in inspection of oompaniee, regiments,
liospitalS,. Commissary and quartermaster depart
ments, and in re-enlisting the troops in the three
years' service, until the 21st day of June, when I
. moved with the brigade, ender the command of
Brigadier General Schleigh, into Western Virginia,
via "Wheeling and Clarksburg, to Buchanon, where,
, on the 2d of July, we joined the main army, under
Major General McClellan. During this march I
selected the camps, posted the pickets and videttes, -
and visited and instructed them in their duty.
The enemy' under General Robert Garnett, held
the passes at Laurel Hill and Rich Mountain, over
which the roads from Buchanon led into the valley
of T3 - gart river. General Garnett eommanded in
person at the former place ; Colonel Pegrain at the
latter. The left-hand, or northern, road led to the
hill ; the right-hand road to the mountain ;.the two
passes being in the same range, and about thir
teen miles apart. The enemy were held in doubt as -
to which: 'Would .be the point of attack. Our army,
in the meantime, lay at Buchamon completing its
preparations.
On tbe.6th General Schleigh, without the know.
ledge of General McClellan, caused an attack to be
made upon the enemy. at Middle Creek Bridge, dis
tant'one day's march, and 'situated midway between
.Buchanon and.Rioh Mountain. The 'company en
gaged in this ffair was repulsed. The General
commanding did not Intend to move for some days,
but as the Rich Mountain was his selected point of
attack, as soon as he heard of the fight at Middle
Creek, fearing the , enemy would penetrate his de
sign and concentrate on. that line, he ordered the
...tramp broken. Atp,"Kand ;on the Bth marched to the
-bridge. Here, alter disposseseing the enemy and
'driving 'him up 'the mountain; we camped for the
night. . • •
• On the afternoon of- the following day, in a heavy
.rain; we marched down the mountain into the val
ley of Roaring gun; and , drove him into his en
; trenchtnents. • ..
On the 10th we reconnoitred hie Position in force.
During the day a youth named Hart applied to Ge
neral .Rosecrans for permission' to pass our pickets,
-on his way to his father's house, situated on the
summit of the, mountain, in rear of. the enemy's •
main - position, at the point where his line of Com
munication crossed. rho General replied that the
summit near his father's' house was fortifled, and the
enemy would arrest him. He answered that he
knew a circuitous mountain trail, by which he -
could gain the house unperceived, it being so diffi
cult of-access that no watch would be tic pt in that
directims. The General - then mapped the hostile
positions, and traced the propasea route, and leav
ing the. boy under guard with the remark that.
where a boy could , climb he could head ail army, ho
• crossed over to General cClellan's tent and' sub.
misted the tracing, with 'a request that Le .be per
mitte4 to lead a column by the route indicated to
assault the enemy's position. It was at once
ceded to, and in the evening General Rosecrans
moved several thousand - men to the front; turned
off after dark to the right and fell into the trail. '• It
was arranged •that he should signal us . , by opening'
with three distinct volleys of musketry. •
At four- - o'olook, lon the afteineen • of. the 11th; we
heard the volleys on the mountain, followed by tile
cannon of the enemy. Part of my brigade was
• lying In a sheltered position, close up to the enemy's.
entrenchments, while our main force lay back
across the run on the declivity opposite. It was
generally, understood that the attack of General.
llosecrans in rear was to be immediately followed
.by that of the main- force in front. This was not
done, and as night closed in with a cessation of the
combat on the mountain, Captain Marcy, of Gana..
ral MCClellan's staff, informed me that the General
felt anxiety for the late of General Rosecrans, fear
ing ho had been destroyed; in which event, he
for a night attack upon our camp,. and
ordered me to picket the position with strength„
selecting the stationsan person, and using as many
rr. en 'as I deemed proper to render the camp secure. •
In compliance with this order, I encircled the Camp
with pickets and videttes, supporting them on our
left and rear, our vulnerable points; by strong
grand guards.
But General Rosecrans had surprised and routed
the enemy on the 'mountain, and held- the key to
their. position. At the' first: volley Colonel regrew
mounted.hia horse and dashed up the winding road ;
aslie neared the summit . his ,left bridle-rein broke .
and his horse, turning to the right, rushed between
the two fires, and bore him directly towards.
