"Union Meeting" in Berkeley. --A meeting of "Union-loving" citizens was held in Martinsburg, Berkeley county, Va., last week, and after the adoption of a long preamble and resolutions, nominated C.

It is probable, too, that some not agreeing with them in their conclusions as to the best course now to be adopted, may unite with them, in dissenting from some of the movements in this State. But when they ask if this can be a holy war, we answer, in so far as it is waged against the South, it is an unjust and unconstitutional war; when they "protest" against the excesses in Virginia, they should still more violently protest against the conduct of Lincoln's Administration — and when they oppose separation from a broken-up government, they should show how longer continuance under such a government is compatible with the preservation of our rights, or a regard to our best interests.--Indeed, the course of events seems to have merged all other questions into the one of resisting further aggression from the North.
