The Union men of Marshall county are laying themselves out for considerable of a demonstration at Moundsville tomorrow evening. They intend to have a mass meeting and torch light procession, and they extend a most cordial invitation to the brethren here to go down and join them, as many of them will do doubt do. Marshall is probably the most thorough going Union county in West Virginia, and that is saying a great deal, and it, therefore, ought to be a sort of privilege to meet with her citizens and witness the way they do things. Unfortunately we have a meeting of our own her, set for that evening, which will deter many who would like to go down to Moundsville, but still we hope that not a few will attend anyhow.
