UNION MEETINGS.—On Thursday of last
week our citizens were entertained by one
of the grandest political addresses over deliv
ered. Vice President HANNIBAL liam
spoke for almost two hours to one of the
largest' and most intelligent assemblages
of Union ladies and gentlemen ever gather,-
ed together in our good old town. The
Court House was so densely packed that
scarcely standing room remained for the
auditors.
The speaker discussed the great political
questions of the hour with the most searching
and vivid earnestness, exhausting all argu
ment and entreaty until the only path loyal
men can tread in the onward march was
made as clear as the broad sunlight. We
will- not attempt an-epitome of his speech,
feeling our utter inability to do it justice. lle
must have been heard to be, appreciated.
Suffice it to say that the results were most
gratifying, arousing his hearers to a clearer
sense of the duties devolving upon them,
and arousing their energies to a more ear
nest and vigorous discharge of them. At
the close of his remarks, Gen. BROOK was
introduced, and in a few well-timed and
appropriate remarks, he told the audience
what the soldiers thought of the Chicago
surrender, how they would pass upon the
Chicago nominees, and what they expected
of the loyal people at home.• The Gen. was
repeatedly cheered while speaking.
On Friday evening, in Rheem . s Hall.
Bev. J. WALKER JACKSON., of Harrisburg
delivered an interesting address to another
immense audience. He reviewed carefully
thocausee, incidents &c., of the great rebel
lion, and with terrible eloquence and power
denounced the base traitors at home who are
plotting the destruction and dismember
ment of our
CaptainA. B.lluTenisos and Dr. NEVI:s
also addressed this locating. and were greet
ed with shouts and cheers of assent and ap-
probation
tria.• When McOlellan's nomination
announced to the rebels they cheered as hear
tily as if they had won a victory. Do you
wish to make them cheer again as though
Grant had been driven back to Washington,
and Sherrnan's noble army captured? If so,
elect MCCLELLAN and PESDLETON and their
cheers will be loud enough ( to be heard even
in Pi3nnsylvania.
Remember that every Union .ol‘lier
thatliiii - fallen in this great conflict has lost
his lifoinconsequence of the treason of Demo
'cratie Party. Bear it in mind that every dollar
Of taxation that our overburdened people
are called upon to pay is used to support
armies to crush a confederacy that is ruled
and governed by Democratic politicans. Let
it not be forgotten that the only States that
are not now supporting the Government to
the full extent of their ability, are those
which have always been under the control of
the Democratic Party. Give these facts full
consideration and then see what claims this
party • has to be put in control of the Gov
ernment of the country.
" Elect Buchanan and these Kansas troub
les will at once cease and the Union will be
in no danger of dissolution." Such was the
cryof the Democracy in 1856. Well Buchan
an was elected. The Kansas troubles grew
bigger daily. Instead of binding more firm
ly the bonds of our Union, his imbecili
ty and connivance enabled his own party to
destroy the Union so effectually that three
. long years of war have not again established
its authority. Now the same party cries
"elect McClellan and the Union will be re
stored and the war cease." Can their prom
ises be trusted? Let our own experience
anS#er, Place the Democracy in power and
insfeadof one confederacy we will have six,
each bringing its own wal• with it. Let all

UNION MEN OF PtNNE(YLV:ANIA
In three days from now you will be
called upon to participate in the might
iest political struggle that has ever agi
tated a nation On its result depends
the existence of your Government and
the liberties of yourselves and children.
Should the foes' of the Administration
triumph no kluccess of our armies can
secure the Union from final dissolution.
The Democratic Party has forsaken the
principles of its tbrmer leaders and has
resolved to sacrifice the dearest interests
of our citizens in order that it may se
cure the control of tho National Gov
ernment. It has chosen for its leaders
men whose treason is notorious and
whose proudest boast is that they have
never contributed au effort to assist our
Nation in this struggle for its lifo. Tho
armed rebels of the South, discouraged
by the determination of the administra
tion to crush them, and almost conquered
by the heroic valor of our bravo soldiers
have now no hope but in the success of
those whom they have always regarded
as their political allies. They know the
aims of the Democracy because they
have always maintained' free intercourse
with its leaders. They know the true
meaning of their declaration of princi
ples because they themselves dictated it.
Their leaders- as fully understand the
programme of the friends of General
McClellan as they do the plans of the
Confederate Government. Both have a
common object; and that object is the
dismemberment of our country, the over
throw- of our Government and the sub
jugation of the loyatmen of the North
to the despotic control or the crime cos
ered'traitors of the Confederavy.
LOYAL MEN OF PENNSYLVANIA, You
have sent your sons and brothers by
tens of thousands to the battle field to
prevent the consummation of this great
wickedness. You have borne cheerfully
the many burdens or a long and ex
hausting war in order that your country
might be ddivered frau her traitor foes.
You have tamed to the utmost your re
sources, to give your government the
means to carrkiou successfully a war ter
the protection of your clearest interests.
Will you now, by your actions on next
Tuesday, neutralize all the good your-sac
rifices have accomplished. Will you
_ire the enemies of your g overnment
an easy victory after spending four years
in unexampled effort to defeat them ?
Shall it be said that after conquering
four-fifths of the territory of the rebell
ion: after driving its greatest array into
its besieged capital; after taking from it
all its strength and power, you have
granted it success by placing our Gov
ernment in the hands of men who are
pledged to sespend all effort against?—
Wo_uld not Slidh action prove that the
people of the North were destitute of
every principle of manliness and honor;
were base enough to desert the men
who had periled their lives fir their pro
tection and to cast a stigma upon, the
memories of their own heroic dead ; and
that they deservel to be slaves of even
traitors? Would not a single life lost in the
defence of the liberties of such a people
be too great a ,eaerifice? Your honor,
your patriotism, your gratitude to the
noble men who have borne the burden
and heat of the contest, your interest.
and even your own personal security
from the dangers of civil strife demand
that you should defeat. the efforts of the
friends of treason, to wre4t the, Govern
ment from the control of the only party
that ever promised to save it.
The men who discourage you with the
cry that the war is a litilure, are not ex
erting themselves in you interest. Their
hope of success depends upon the suc
cess of the rebellion and they would
gladly accept a triumph wolf through
the disgrace and runt of the country.—
They well know that the rebellion is a
failure but their own interests will not
allow them to admit it Whatever aid,
they can give rebels is so much strength
to their own cause and therefore they
will support the waning fortunes of the
traitors as long as the Confederacy ex
ists. Can you support a party whose in
terest forces them to make capital for
treason ? Will you vote for a candidate
who can only succeed if the soldiers of
the Union arc defeated and driven in
disgrace by victorious traitors ? Will
you go with men who dare not rejoice
over victories for fear that their cause
will suffer by the admission of our
'Country's Success ?
From every quarter we havethe most
cheering prospects of an early peace.—
The last three, months have brought us
martriutitphs:-.1 Sherman has made the'
greatest campaign hi the record of mod
.ertiwarlare and has achieved a success
greater' than we dared expect. Crrant
.has freed Lee from the Rapidan to

pects of the future.
The Philadelphia:Age which is con
stantly howling over the tyranny of the Ad
ministration in abridging the freedom of
the Press, devotes a whole column to scur
rilous personal abuse and ridicule of Vice
President Hamlin. Here is a specimen of
the kind of freedom that this despotic Gov
ernment tolerates. The Age says:
We have neither the time nor the dispo
sition to review the miserable scurrilous ut
terances of this speech. The sympathy man
ifested by Mr. Hamlin for the black, is cur
rently belhived to ho founded, less on the
general principles of philanthropy, than on
the endearing ties of blood and wool, and
we, therefore, cannot blame hint for it
We advise'him, by all means, to return to
Fort McCleary, FO5lllllO his uniform and
dipper, to be regular at his meals, and to try
by his industry and prowess to retrieve the
disgrace which his desertion has brought
upon our colored troops.
In plain terms this is asserting that Mr.
Hamlin is a negro. We will not insult the
intelligence of our.readers by denying this
statement, as our only object is to give them
a specimen of the fair, honorable, dignified
and manly course pursued the opposition
press: We might remind the Age however
that this charge comes with a bad grace from
a Democratic journal. Mr. Hamlin was for
rnanyyearsa leader in the Democratic Party.
In his own State the Democracy had con
ferred upon him the highest honors in their
gift and his value to the party may be in
ferred from the filet that since he left it, it
bas been m a hopeless minority at every
election. If the Agc is willing to admit that
its own party in the State of Maine elevated
a negro to the position of U. S. Senator and
was dependent on the assistance and ability
of the some negro for its political success.
we will confess that it has n perfect right to
speak of the Vice President in that clnode
and eleg,ant diction which always adorns its
COllllllll3.
The Democrats of Philadelphia had

Do they forget that at Ow election in Mary

vent disunionists from Noting'.' When they
howl about the suspension of the habeas cor

friends in Maryland if they gave trouble at

the Aditinistration trouble them exceeding

CLELLAN on the seventh of July 1862, wrote
a letter in which he advocated the policy is
such words as these :
"Slaves contraband under act of Congress
seeking military yroteelion should receive it.
The right of the Government to appropriate
permanently to its own service, claims to
slave labor should be asserted, and the right
of tho owner to coin pensation therefor should
be recognized. This principle might he ex

MCCLELLAN'S record shows that he made
arbitrary arrests on the most extensive scale;

:most,aitounding development; , bf the
Villainy of ' the Democratie'r Managers :was
Made last - . 4eek in 'Washington and Balti

1111-luour; for the purpose of receiving the
votes of the New York soldiers were ar'rese
ed on the charge of forging the names-of sol
diers and officers to tickets, which were sent
on to New York as soldiers' Voteit.' These
men were placed on Aitil before a Court
i.iartial in Baltimorb iind the testiumay.pro
duced on _their trial shows that enormous
frauds have been perpetrated in taking the
votes of the soldiers iu the field. We have
not room for a, full report of these villaines,
but we copy for the information of our read
ers the confession of one of the Agents of his
share in this work of infamy. Here it is:
After the adjournment of the Court, Ferry
made the following full confession
I do not recollect the time when the first
pipers were forged, but it was in the presence
of 0. K. Wood, of Clinton county, Now
York. It was done in my utile°, No. ao

State of Now York, appointed by Governor
Seymour, too look after the sick and wound

on Wednesday of last week, at my office.
lie Caine and represented himself as being
an agent of the Central Coinmittee of his
county to look after its leo d ticket. He
talked about the way in which the votes
could be taken.
It was agreed that we should sign the
names of soldiers 'rind officers and then send
them home to have the local tielccrt tilled in.
I made out small papers ; 1 signed the nanws
of soldierr4 on quite a number of them ; I
cannot tell what names we signed ; the pa
pers are in the brindle now on the table; I
did not sign the names of otlioers, but Dono
hue signed any quantity of thorn ; there was
a large package of these lemurs left, with me,
which I destroyed ; that package contained
over two hundred ; Donohue signed them
all.
The idea 'of forging these papers was first
suggested by a man named Stephen Maxon.

of Governor SEvmitua. or the disciples of

lessness ni their cause in a fit ir these
scoundrels were determined that they
try a scheme that would give them the State

and forged proxies will make their schemes
just as practicable at, if t h e ',cave themselves
approved them. When men are engaged
in a villainous enterprise they are not usual
ly very conscientious concerning th
by which their success eau be attained. It is
not strange therefore that the supporters of
the Chicago Platform should resort even to
forging soldiers' names to ballots, in order
that they may succeed in their attempt to
place the Government in the power of its
ws.
But even this villainy will not avail them.
The loyal won of New York are on their
guard and will prevent any further opera

greatest frauds that can be perpetrated by
the practised villains of SEYMOURS gang
will not prevent the defeat of their party on
next Tuesday. The desperate expedients
they have resorted to, fully Shows how they
fear the verdict of the people.. Their defeat
is inevitable and they know it. Next

GEN. JOHN LOGAN'S SPEECH.
It will bb remembered that General Logan
was -Senator, Douglas' especial, friend—his
confidential' adviser, and used to bb called.
, !Douglas' right-hand man," and indeed he
:was—and in view of WS fact the' Political
friends of Douglas Will not fail to give duo
consideration to the views and advice of the
gallant Logan at this time.
After thoroughly dissecting the platform
adopted at the National Democratic Conven
tion in this city, and exposing its fallacies
and absurdities, he concluded his great
speech as follows:
PENDLETON-HIS RECENT RETICENCE
There is such a thing, you know, as a
Preside - hes dying. If the Union end of this
ticket should die, the treason end would take
its place. if they should elect McClellan,
and his election should surprise him so much
as to kill hiin—which is not unlikely—then
Ptindleton would take his plit9e and run the
concern according to his own ideas.
They ask you to vote for Geo B. McClel
lan on such a platform as this. I say I won't
do it [Applause.] They ask me to vote
for George H. Pendleton, and I say I should
not vote for him on that or any other plat
form, for Vice President or any other office,
if the devil were a candidate against him.
Why do I say so? I served with hint in
Congress, and I have been forced and com
pelled to denounce him as a traitor, and
I have a good right to do so to-dayi I have
heard from his lips in the halls of Congress
before he wits ever thought of as a Candidate,
words of treason and disloyalty. He has de
nounced the war from the time it corn inenced.
Ile has never voted a solitary dollar, nor a
single-cent in favor of prweeutim4 the war,
no matter how the money wry to be expend
ed, whether for food for;the soldiers or for
any thing else. Not one dollar has been
voted that could be spent in imy way against
the rebellion and in favor of the Govern
ment. I defy his friends to-day to point me
to one line or one syllable ever written
or uttered by hint in favor of restorirg the
Government by putting down the rebellion
—not a word. But if you, will read his
speeches, you will find he has preached se
cession ; you will .flnd that he has advocated
State Rights, and said he believed the peo
ple of the South had a right to secede, and
tho Government had no right to coerce
them back into the Union. This is the doc
trine he has advocated, and upon that record
people ask me to vote for him. Again I de
fy any man to show me his letter accepting
his nominatin on. the Chieago
Where i- it? Why is it that no ;eau can
find it !
Ile Ints never accepted that nomination
except by simple. acyuieseenco• and by his
being put on thy• ticket. 11 by this, I

Now, lily fellow countrymen, I can say to
you to-day, that the rebels are advocating
the election of George B. McClellan and
George 11. Pendleton. I can prove it. And
they have good reason for it too. I don't
say this because I believe George I;. M'Clel
la : to be a traitor, for I don't believe any
sacli thing. But 1. believe that he is used
for the very purpose I have stated, and
it' elected President he would gather around
hint such men V allandingliatin, Itiehinond
and Israelite Belmont. lle would be only
a tool in the hands of these men, through
which they would act in order to give the
Southern 'Confederacy its independence.
[Applause.]
Not long ago there-was a speech made in
Southern Alabama by L. F. Curry. lie
Was it member of Congress whoa I served.
and a very talented mai. After 'the South
seceded, mid when this rebellion was com
menced, he was elected a member of the
Confederate Congress, and served there with
credit to himself, as far as a man could in a
Congress of that kind [Laughter.] He
returned home a short, time ago, and made a
speech to his tel I happened to
be far down in Dixie atthattitne. I found one
of the papers containing this speech. It was
Made to his fellow-ditizens. Now, do you
know who a Congressman's fellow-citizens
are in the Southelit Confederacy ? The sol
diers of the rebel army ire the only
fellow
citizens he has. Every man is in the : rmy
who is not too old to -carry a gun, or so
young he can't leave Iris mother. [Laugh
ter.] if a matt malice a political speech
there, ho must make it in the army. There
is no such thing as an election we have
hero. They elect Congressmen, Senators,
and everything else, in the army. The
army is the Southern Confudertky. It is
all there is of it., and when We get, that used
up, the isouthern Confederitey gone up.
[Applause.] Mr. Curry said this: 4.4 My
hearers, we should remember that much' de

made up of a very strange kind of Men.
They are very impatient for peace, at the
same time they know the kind of peace they
want will.inVolve the country iri a more ter
rible and bloody war in five years than wo

Mr. Curry, you see, goes on to say that
if Mr. Lincoln should he re-elected, " the
hopes of the Southern Confederacy will be
dashed to the ground,'! and so forth. Now,
don't propose to join Mt. Curry in his
electioneering tour for the peace candidates,
or any of his crowd.
If I find the leading rebels in favor of a
man, I don't think I ought to be. But if I
find them denouncing a man and opposing
him, as they do Mr. Lincoln, I can't help
thinking lie is a pretty good sort of a fellow.
[Laughter.] Now, I told you we could re
store this country by suppressing the rebel
lion. Thole is no matter of doubt of it that
we can destroy their armies ; we can kill
everyman that belongs to them ; and so far

I know of no mode by which a loyal citi

his country, as by, maintaining the Consti

cumstances and every Administration, re
gardless of party politics, against all assail
ants at home and abroad. That was Mr.
Douglas' doctrine when he died ; it would
be his doctrine to-day if lie were alive. It is
my doctrine to-day, and has been all along,
and I intend to stand by it to the last. [Ap

nication in substance recited that as there is
:a 'Aspect of a large number of prisoners be
ing held by both sides during the coming
winter, it is desirable that each, belligerent, '
withimit being freed from the obligation Of
feeding and clothing the 'prisoners held by
them respectively, shoilld be allowed to ftir
nish their own captives in the other's hands
with, such additional comfort as humanity
may prompt. lie thereforepropOsed that
we shall be permitted to send to the South
clothing, blankets,
and supplies for our
Boners in the hands of the Confederates,--'
they being allowed to do the same by their
prisoners in our hands. Ho further propos
ed that they shall be allowed to purchase.a
broad the articles intended for their prison
ers held by us.
This overture was referred to General
Grant, who replied in a communication to.
General Lee, under date of the 18th inst.,
accepting Mr. Ould's proposition, and stating
that he was authorized by the Secretary of
War to inake arrangements for the mutual'
relief of prisoners held by the two parties,
"Looking." hendds, "entirely to the allevia
tion of the sufferings of those held in cap-•
tivity, I will not interpose any obstacle to
any plan that may be agreed upon that gives
equal privileges to both belligerents."
General Lee, on the following day, Octo-•
bar 19, replied to General Grant, acknowl—
edging the receiptof his communication, and.
stated that he took it us an acceptance on the•
part of General Grant of Mr. Ould's plan..
Ile suggested further, that the articles sent
to the prisoners should be confined to arti—
cle, of necessity and comfort, as clothing,
blankets, meat, bread, coffee, sugar, pickles,
vinegar and tobacco ; and proposed that an
ollicer from each side should be specially de
tailed and paroled, to see to the faithful ex
ecution of the arrangement.
On the following day-, October 20th, Gen.
Grant rejoined, stating that Gen. Leo had
rightly understood his former communica
tion in the sense of an acceptance of Mr.
Ould's proposition. and reiterated his solid-
I nide for the well being of our prisoners, as
well as those of the rebels. "It is," declared
Gen. Grunt, 'my desire that all prisoners
of war should be made as comfortable as it is
po,sible for prisoners' under restraint to be,
and 1 will favor any proposition looking to
that end." Gen. Grant, moreover, requested
that a ,letled plan should be made for car
rying- this purpose, into effect.
This communication closes all of this in
teresting correspondence between Generals
Grant and 1,20 that has so far talcim place,
and thus the matter now reins. It is ear
, neatly to lai hoped that the practical details
Neill be completed with all possibie prompti
-1 tilde, so 21`+ tO permit this beneficent-measure
