German Union Meeting.-We are happy to learn that Colonel Parrott has prevailed on his friend, Captain Fred Oberkline, to come here and address the Germans, on Saturday night, 30th instant. Captain Oberkline has just been nominated by the Union men of Hamilton county for the Legislature. It is a fit recognition of his gallant service in the field, and his zeal and ability in fighting for the same cause in the political arena. He will meet a hearty welcome here. Captain Oberkline is the representative of the Workingmen's Association. Dayton Journal, 20th.

The workingmen of Cincinnati we think will bear in mind on the second Tuesday of October next, if Capt. Oberkline, fill the above appointment, that Col. Parrott is the opponent in this county of Wm. N. Love, the candidate of our workingmen for the Legislature. That Mr. Love is an intelligent and industrious mechanic—a moulder—while Col. Parrott pays taxes on an income of $16,000 per annum and is representative of the Bondocracy of our county. We think the workingmen of Cincinnati will say to Capt. Oberkline that he might be engaged in a better business than coming all the way to Dayton to electioneer against a brother mechanic.
