The Union And Journal

Major General Meade. - The Boston Pilot asserts that Meade is a Roman Catholic, and the copperhead journals assert that he is a Democrat. In either case it would not make any difference in the value of his services. It is as well, however, that the truth should be known. Gen. Meade is a Philadelphian. His family resides here. His sons have been drafted here. He is a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and his family holds a pew, where it has long been in regular attendance, in St. Mark's Church.

General Meade's relation in life, as regards politics, have ever been Whig. His family were all whigs, and though opposed to the anti-slavery agitation before the war broke out, the General has since become an earnest supporter of the whole war policy of the National Administration, like Burnside, Grant, Rosecrans and other conservatives. - Philadelphia North American.
