WAR MEETING AT MANAYUNK, PA.

A war meeting was recently held at Manayunk, Pa. Among the resolutions adopted were the following submitted by the Rev'd W. Fulton, Chaplain of the Scott Legion Regiment.

Resolved, That as we would rush to save our factories and our houses from the fires of the incendiary, so should we rush to save our country from the fire and sword of Rebel enemies; and as Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his Rebel angels until they were thrust out of Heaven, so will we fight against the traitor Davis and his Rebel legions until the last Rebel is crushed or driven out of our once happy Union.

Resolved, That, as we have already given of our substance and our kindred to our country's cause, so will we continue to give and encourage those who do give, and give ourselves, until this wicked rebellion is forever crushed, the schemes of its abettors forever thwarted, and the arms of its helpers forever broken, and to this end, we will set up our banners in the name of God, and march forth to save the freest country, and the best Government in this world, and bury our party bickerings, our sectional difference, and platform contentions, in one common grave, and discuss our religions and our politics beneath the folds of the triumphant stars and stripes when the war is over.
