Mr.. Peck's Speerh.

The Democrats had rousing meeting
at the court house on Tuesday evening, to
heara speech from +. PECK, Esq, Of Chi
cago. The court room was filled to over.
howin and the utmost enthusiasm and
good feeling prevailed throughout. The
meeting had not been invited to one feast,
and treated with another, as had been the
case Of the barnburners ON the previous e.
veniny. The democrats needed to resort to
no mean tricks 10 gather crowd, and so
they stoo.i in no fear Of disturbance from a
cheated and indignant auditory.
Mr.. Peck spoke about two hours, and, at
ter hearing him, we were not at all surprised
at the unwillingness Of our "free soil' spout.
ers on the previous evening to discuss free
dirtsm with him, hour for hour, as he had
offered to do. They would have been the
worst used mp men that ever undertook 10
debate politics. Mr.. Peck is certainly one
Of the ablest political debatcrs we ever
head. In arguuent denonstrative, at tu,ns
truly eloquent and inspiring, and in sarcasm
whitening. In his terrible hands, those lit
tie politicians, who talked so valiantly Of
encountering Judge Breese the previous E.
vening, when they well knew that Judge
b. would not stoop TO enter into controver.
sy with them, would have been utterly
crushed. Barnburnerism was stripped Of
every covering, and exhibited in all its ma
ked deformi'y and flthiness; aud the hol
low receptions Of whigsery, in not avowing
single principle, nor permitting their can.
didate to utter an opinion, were unriddled
as they deserved. The hearty and even
boisterous applause with which Mr.. Peck
was so frequently interrupted allthrough his
speech, evidenced how well it told on his
audience, and that his arguments were ap-
Preciated.
Mr.. Gregg, Of Joliet, having come in du-
ring the meeting, at the close Of Mr.. Peck's
speech, was also called out, aud made a
short aud very happy speech. Ills remarks
were forcible and 10 the point, and he was
greeted with the heartiest applause.
Before adjourning, the meeting rendered
the speakers a unanimous vote OF thanks,
and gave them three cheers.

TsLabSring Men.

Have laboring men thought Of what sup.
port Of the Buffalo platform will lead them
to? The Barnburners there adopt the one
idea OF the abolitionists, to oppose slavery
in every form, and to break down the dis.
tinctions between the white and the black
men. If this is not their aim, they aim at
nothing, for no negro can be called free who
is not on an equality with all around him.
To possess equal political rights with all,
can alone make you free man. Slavery
consists only in an inequality of rights.
Were oil men by law slaves, they would all
be free, for there would then be no masters.
Freedom is nothing more nor less than equal
laws-slaves are those who are degraded by
unequal laws.
Are onr laboring population prepared to
vote for raising the negroes on an equality
with them9 Are they willing to compete
in labor with them-to work side by side
with them-to eat with them-to sleep with
them-tO vote with them--to sit in the leg.
islatnre with them, and to be represented by
them in Congress? Tothis point must men
come who are sincere and honest in the sup.
port Of abolitionism-oft the Buffalo platform.
The trainers Of that platform knew well
that slavery could never enter California
that in that country whites, blacks, Mexi.
cans, Indians, SC. &C., were all on an equal.
ity-they attach to the cry Of free soil q much
wider meaning-they declare il their pur.
pose to oppose slavery not only in new ter.
ritory, but everywhere. The principle is no
new one. II has been advocated by the
abolitionists for years, and they cling to it
now rs steadily as ever. But until the prin.
ciple was covered up by the clap.trap cry
Of free soil 1t could make no progress
whether just or not, ,chiie men have regard.
eel II as odious-their nature revets at the
contemplation ofit--they will not support il
now knowingly. Let them see to it that
they are not cheated into its support, as most
assuredy all are who support the nominees
Of the Buffalo Convention.

During this rainy weather ii " onld be a
glorious time to asitate the subject ofhaving
sidewalks along the principal streets thru
town. Who ever heard Of a town Contain
ing from $500 to 5000 inhabitants that was
almost entirely without side. walks? The
Town Trustees should pass an ordinance
requiring every person owning property
On these streets to build side. alks thereon
within certain time; aud in case Of their
falling so to do, the corporation should do il
and assess the cost on the property. As our
streets are now il is almost impossible, dur
ing rainy spell, to move beyond ones ow n
door.sill; but by each man submitting to a
small expense, this inconv enience Gould be
obviated, and instead Of wadinp through
mud hom two TO ten inches deep nearly
one half of the year, we could 60 ali

Who knows how much sickness thi, would

California and New Mexico are free ter.
ritories by their own laws.
Gen. Cass contends that their own laws
should remain in force AID regulate the
matter.
The barnburners contend that the laws Of
the territories are insufficient for the purpose
that they WILDE dsregarded by the south !;
but that law of Congress is necessary, as
itwould come from so mncha higher source,
and would not therefore be disregard.d.
Yet a law prohibiting what is already pro-
hbited is supererogatory and unnecessary,
and can only, in reality, be a declaratory
lava declaration or re.ailirIna,ion of what
the present law Of California is.
Gen. Cass is in favor of such declara,o.
ry law. He says (see his Nicholson letter.
thatin California and New Mexico, sslave-
ry is prohibited by their own laws" and 81
am in favor Of leaving to the people of the
territory the right to regulate it slavery
themselves. 10 carry out these views,
then, it would be the duty Of Congress, in
case the laws OF California and New Mexico
are disregarded, to affirm and enforce the
execution Of those laws.
Now in this view Of the subject, and we
contend that It is the only trne and fair one
that can be taken Of it, what are the barn.
burners contending for that will not be &C.
coRplished by the election of Gen. Cass?

Mdtrimony and its In ducen,enis- good
One.-We have heard very good joke
some time since that occurred in Paris,
where there are all sorts of strange people,
and q great variety ofqueer places. Among
the latter are Offices for the procurement Vi
marriages, and the keepers Of the same are
called marriage brokers. It appears that a
young Partisan, who had once known pros
perity, became exceedingly poor, and in
cogitatng upon the best means to recruit
his finances, stumbled upon the thought of
matrimony. He had hitherto lived a wild
and independent life, and the connubial
thought was therefore reluctently entertain
ed; but his affairs were pressing and his wit
could suggest no other means to retrieve
them He posted TO a brokers' Office, Ia

lady, young. fair and rich. Hymen's a.
gent stated that he had called very op-
portun+ly, as at that moment he had
upon his books lady who was young, fair,
and worth $1,000 francs.
The eyes Of our needy friend sparkled at
the mention Of the money, and for that con.
sideration he said he was willing TO submit
to the incumbrance Of wife. every WE'LL"
said the broker, 81 will give description
Of your person TO the lady, make some en-.
quiries in reference to your family, report
the same, aud give you an answer in the

Our hero expressed himself satisfied, and
was about leaving, when the broker stopped
him and mentioned, that as he would be put
to good deal Of trouble about the matter,
and II might possibly be a failure, Il was
but fair, that he should be rewarded, In fact
it was indispensable that lie should DO paid
in advance. "And what is your fee, sir?"
asked our hero, somewhat chop. fallen
Fifteen francs,' replied the'broker.
Our hero gnzed steadfastiy at the man for
a moment, as he buttoned bis coat close up
TO the chin.
"And have you the intolerable impudence
to suppose" he said as he thrust his hands
into torn pair Of gloves, and darted indig.
nantly towards the door, 'that If In the en-.
