15th October, 1863.
Whatever is happening to Meade, let us rejoice over
Pennsylvannia and Ohio. It is the great vindication of the President, and the
popular verdict upon the policy of the war. It gives one greater joy than any
event which has lately happened. Is it not the sign of the final disintegration
of that rotten mass known as the Democratic party? In this State we have
sloughed off the name Republican and are known as the Union party. How glad I
am that we can gladly bear that name, and that the Union at last means what it
was intended by the wisest and the best of our fathers to mean!
