The Soldiers' Meeting
Summary
A large soldiers’ meeting was held at the Court House yard last Friday. A procession marched from the Independent Engine House to the Dill House and then to the Court House yard. Transparencies at the head of the procession were inscribed, “No Negro Suffrage, No Rebel Suffrage.” Upton Buhrman of Frederick County addressed the assembly, followed by Col. Stokes of Tennessee. The latter said that the “Rebel or Johnson party” intends to snatch victories from loyal hands that were achieved on the battlefield.
