Primary Meetings
We would urge upon the Union voters of
this County, the nece,sity of a large attend
ance at the Primary Meetings of the several
districts, on 'Saturday, the sth of September,
it is now a matter of vital importance that
a regular organization of the Union Party
should be at once effected, as we are on the
.eve of an important ramNign, anal these
meetings sleield lic largely attended, 11ti from
them enrumte and depend a lull and hearty
co-operation of the pe•Rle. It is, necessary
Mitt, the lulu ntea ch rain from them should
be men of sound practical judgment and un
wavering loyalty, deter uineil to sustain the
government or our emilitry, and to place iu
nomination only such men as are uncondi
ticually in favor or supp,,,,,in g the existing
rebellion aLiainst the government. let the
true and loyal men turn out to these meet
ings, and see that these tnings are properly
managed. Let the delegates thus selected.
assemble in Convention, and, regardless of
any other ccnsidcration but the interests 01
the country, and the harmony and success of
the Union party—discarding all personal
preferences and local considerations—form
a ticket, that will give the greatest satisfac
tion to the greatest number, and they will
have done their work well, the proof of which
will he its ratification by a triumphant elec
tion next Octoberlinerican.
j3k.V'The New York riots continue to fur

all the arguments cannot change Gen. Wool

be caught sapping- there. The draft will suet
begin again, and will be enforced Many of
the rioters have tied, and come have enlisted
in the service they pror,..ed to be so eager to
avoid. Some two hundred have been arrested
and charges against the county for da:nages
have been brought., amouniing to ne.irly

"Between Mr. Lincoln breaking the Consti

criminal. Between Mr. Chase compelling an
honest debt to be received in half value, and
drunken Tom carrying off a coat, we know who
injures his fellow men tho' most." Why not
go a step farther, and say, " Between Mr.
Stanton arming a slave against rebels, and
Dennis McCarthy braining negro babies, we
take sides with Dennis; between Paymaster

would riot be likely to be spoken of or rec.
ommonded by the Volunteer. , As to Prof.
JOHNSON'S sermon, it was what might have
been expected from him on snob an occasion:
an earnest, manly discourse full of deep, heart
felt gratitude to the giver of all good, for the
victories vouchsafed to our arms, and honest
supplication for a continuance of them until
the rebellion be subdued, and, in the grace of
God's its misguided authors and acturg be
brought under the benign influence of law
and order. These praises and supplications
wound their way through the entire sermon,
which was a scholarly discussion of those
great questi.ms of government, which have
