WASHINGTON CITY, May 81.
Great Rc tAbi'cGn Meeting.

Great RcfnblcGH MeefHg.
We had not IN our last an opportunity To
congratulate our readers on the result OF the
General Meeting of the Republican Members
OF Congress for the purpose OF designating,
i'll their individual capacities, the persons d.
proper in their opinion TO be supported as
the Republican, candidates for the Office of
President and Vlce-President OF tie United
States. 1t is needless to say we were highly
gratihed at the result of the meeting. "A,
the last meeting OH similar occasion, when
almost every Republican member was in the
city, eighty.nine votes were given IN, OF
which eigh;y-threG were for James Madison
as President. AT the late meeting, when
nearly one.third of the Rep0blican members
were absent, when the federal minority is
much increase, eighty-three voted for JAMES
MADISON and large majority OF whom
voted for JOHN LANGDoN, as Vice President.
In addition to which we are authorised to say
that most of those Republicans who from Va
rious considerations. do not approve Of such
meetings. and who therefore did not attend
the meeting, cordially unite in appreciation of
the nomination made by this meeting. The
result is most auspicious to the Republican
Cause. We 6nd at a Republican Meeting
proportion TO the number Of the Republican
members in the city, JAMES MADIsCa recciv-
cd every vote given in He is proven TO be
the favorite of the People for we assert
without fear of contradiction, that there cam
not be enumerated ten Republican members
of Congress, including those who did no, at
tend ihe meeting, who under any bias or PEE
judice, would have voted for any other PER-
sons as preferable candidates for the office Of
President and Vice. President Of the United
Statcs. There never has been nomination
of p csident or Vice President which has re-
ceived more unanm Gus support Of the Re-
publican Representatives in Congress. And
lhIs honorable testimony in favor Of Mr..
Madison dccisively proves that honesty, pat
riolism and plain dealing will for ever triumph
over dupiciiy, interest aud in,sigue.
