UnconpttiovaL Usion Mgetine IN THE First Wakrp.—A large and enthusiastic meeting of the unconditional Union men of the First Ward was held last evening at the Union Engine House; Mr. G_ T. McGlue presiding and Mr. F.T. Wilson acting as secretary Mr. Berrien (the nominee for Aldermafi) being ealled for, returned bis thanks for the nomination, and stated that he was identified with the ward, and he would endeavor, if elected, to look after Ms interests. He deprecated the bringing of national politics into municipal affairs. ‘I'wenty- four years ago, when he took up bis residence here, the citizens knew no party; but the times bad changed. He bad no hesitancy in saying he ‘was an unconditional Union man, and believed in conquering a e, not supplicating it. The true men were called upon to sustain the Govern- ment, which should be maintained wherever the flag floats. He did not know of any way in wiich the rebels could be conquered but by milita: coercion. The rebels respected nothing so muc! as fine infantry, batteries of cannon, and splendid troops of horse., In regard to the law lately intro- duced for the benefit of the blacks, he said that a careful examination of its provisions would show that it did not propose to educate the white and black together, or to use the white man’s money for the education of the negro, but simply to use 2 portion of the taxes paid by the negroes for their own education, to make them usefal and prevent them from becoming common thieves and pil- ferers. Mr Robert Ricketts introduced the following preambje and resolutions: W hereas, in view of our national troubles, the epproaching municipal election In this ‘pig a lis {« vested with-much more than ordinary in- terest; and whereas we regard it as the sworn and solemn duty and obligation of every American citizen, irrespective of all partizan views and per- sonal preferences, to stand by and in every pos- sible way sustain the Government as represented in its present Chief Magistrate in the effort to overthrow and crush out the present wicked and unnatural rebellion; and whereas the history of the existing rebellion bas shown that conditional Union men are unconditional secessionists, who attempt to accomplish by stealth what a more open and frank course would expose as the rank- est treason : Therefore, Resolved, That the bl ings and immunities enjoyed by us as indiv: and as a community we regard as mainly de at upon the main- tenance and authority of the General Government under whose shield and protection personal rights bave been eojoyed and unrivalled national pros- perity secured Resolved, That we look with just abborrence and unmingied indignation upon the rratricidal cause of those who are waging this unholy rebel- liog against a wise, humane and beneficent gov- ernment, and can look with no favor or indul- gence upon men asking the endorsement of their fellow-citizens, who, while professing loyal sen- timents and feelings, at the same time, by a spirit of carping and fault-finding, either by Sane and groundless charges, or low and mean fnsinu- ations, are giving ald and comfort to the com- mon foe Resolved, That there are no conditions prece- dent other than such as are prescribed the great charter of our rights iteelf upon which we allegiance to our common country, and in lag the rages of our fellow citizens for the ticket which bas been presented, while we off-r them good and true men, whose interests are identified with the prosperity of the city, we at the same time claim that they represent tue true and permanent interests of this community by « ty and cordial endorsement and approval of the policy of the Executive of the nation to pre- serve intact the unity and vindicate the just authority of the Government of the United States. Resolved, That as popular government rests upon the intelligence and virtue of the people, we are In favor of giving incressed activity and *ificiency to our system of public scifcol tnstruc- Ricketts said thet we had fallen upon ge and evil times. Every man now should od in bis true character before the community. He did not charge the opposents with being un- qualifed secessionists, but they bad seen the workings of the so-called peace party in some of the neighboring States, and bere as In those Scates, [f the cloak was taken off It would be ind that they were opposed to one or more of measures of the Goveroment in putting down the rebellion. The talk of abolitionism and negro equality was for the purpose of throwing dust in the eyes of the people. He regarded it the duty of evéry man to sustain the Government, and he looked upon all their opponents with just ab- horence. r.C.

But we mightexpect such charges from‘uch a party. The next c! ‘hey would make against Mr. Wallach would probably be that he is a nigger! He would just eng aire, however, 1f Mr. Wallach bad ever been conveyed home on a wheelbarrow? [Laughter } Mr Samnue!

Why are they not bere’ They would say that they were Unicn men, but talk to them of national effairs they would answer in monesyllables; and he believed if Jeff. Davis came to town they would fing up their bats and cry for joy. He did not ksow Dick Wallach—bad never seen him; but all he wiated to know was that he ‘was an unconditional Union man, and he would support bim. He did not mean to say that Mr. Halliday was a secessionist; but if wecan judge of @ man by the company be keeps, there is some cause for supposing such a thing. Mr. Florence continued for some time, drawing applause from the audience, and closed by pro- pos.ng ** three cheers for Dick Wallach ;” which were given with a will. bd The resolations were then ununimously After transacting some further business of cuaracter, the meeting adjoarned to to-morrow evening.

Mr. F ge as poet r nted tion of Dantel Breed, of this city, ying a writ ef habeas corpus may feaue O'Mantal Lamon, commanding him to produce the — of said Copeland. The petition sets forth said Copeland is impris- oned and restrained of his li and that neither the act of Congress a) ved Feb- ruary 12, 1793, nor any other act, authorizes such imprisonment. r. Dean being desirous of arguing the case, the Court fixed this morning, at 9o’clock, for the hearing. There was full attendance, and a good deal of interest manifested. Mr. Dean argued in favor of the petition for a writ, and that the jndge bed an undoubted constitu- tlonal right to grant the writ, es the act of 1793 did not apply to Territories or to the District of Columbia. The law — apply to slaves going out of a Territory or district, but it never intend to follow one therein. He further that the law ef 1850 never contemplated operation in the Distri¢t or ina Territory. Mr. Dean mentioned acase wherein Justice Story had decided that part of the law of 1793 was constitutional, and the other part was not. This reference was most ill- timed and ee , for Judge Dunlop had the book containing the case before him, and turning to it proved thatthe law had been decided by Justice Marshall and others to be constitutional. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Dean’s argument. Judge Dunlop indicated to him that he had failed to convince the bench it was their duty to issue the writ We understand that It is Mr. Dean’s Intention to test the matter fully before a higher tribunal.
