THE MEETING ON TUESDAY NIGHT.--Ex.
celsor Hall was crowded on Tuesdry evening to
its utmost capacity, to welcome our representa-
tive, Mr.. Durkee, and to listen to his proposed
address. Mr.. Durkee spoke about an hour re-
viewing the acts of the last Congress; and point
ing out the prospects, under the present aspect
of things, for the future He was truthful and
therefore eloquent, and from the expression the
large audience present, the impression we know
was highly favorable. Mr.. Durkee was follow
ed by several other speakers, who We're listened
to with attention, and occasionally enthusiasm.
AT the close of the meeting series of resolu-

topics discussed during the evening. which were
adopted by reclamation. The meeting adjourn

WHAT DOES 1T MEAx Among the reasons
urged by the venerable Dr. for a new conven-
ton, is that the late one was composed of Adolf
tionists and men who never acted with the dem
ocratic party. Now this demands explanation.
Will the DIR. tell US and his readers, what he
means by an abolitionist. The democratic party
Of this state and of this Congressional district
have laid down a platform of principles upon
which as party, they claim to hold an exis-
tence. Now this is precisely the platform on
which these men stigmatized as abolitionists have
stood, and now stand and we defy the DR.. to
show anything to the contrary. Have they no
right then according to the resolves of the State
convention of which the Dr. himself was a
member, and according to the resolves of the late
Congressional Convention, to take part in the
proceedings. The truth is, although he dare not
say it, he is at heart opposed to those resolutions
He bolts the platform of the state and Congress

who sustain those resolutions, to stand by them

DONG AN ALnERMAN.-On Saturday evening,
as friend Fuller of the Sentinel, was returning
from the Theatre, he met Alderman Geo. H.
Walker, on the chase, hunting for thief who
had stolen his horse and buggy, from the stand in
front of the City Hotel. After securing the city
in vain, Mr.. Walker telegraphed in all directions
despatched Deputy Sheriff Conover west to
Wauwatosa and csewhere-travelled all night
himself-had hand-bills posted offering 800 re-
ward for the recovery of his horse and buggy,
and the apprehension of the thief, when, about
half past o'clock, yesterday morning, as little
knot were discussing the thief, along came Mr.
Walkers horse, with good Aldernanic jog,
driven by Messrs. Garrison and Pagan, OF the
City Hotel, who were returning him to his own
er. We did not learn whether they claimed the
reward. 1t seems, some friend of the Alderman
saw his horse eating post meal, in front of the
City Hotel, and thought TO do the Alderman and
his horse a kindness, and stepping to the door
called the Landlord and asked him to pnt him
up. So that the horse was enjoying himself at
the stable, all night, on excellent fodder, while
his master was taking exercise in the open air,

Mr.. DURKEE's ADDREss.--The meeting to

attended by an intelligent and highly interested
audience. Mr. Durkee spoke one h5ur, review
ing in brief, the acts and omissions of the late
session of Congress, the character of the meas

curing their passage, and the necessity of elect

position, and was catechised for nearly an hour

country for the last Is years. Having last week

they entered upon the work of examining Mr.
Durkee with all the zeal and perseverance of
young converts. Mr. Durkee's replies were
rendered with great frankness, and we believe
were satisfactory to the audience. At the close
of this exercise the resolutions, published in an

Assembly,
TO THE P0EESi

This is the last opportunity we shall have of
addressing our readers before the contest of
Tuesday next. We will not re-iterate any Of
the arguments of the campaign, for beyond ques-
ton the great mass of voters have made up their
minds as to the manner in which they will vote.
We only wish to say, To the Polls! To the
Polls! There is nothing under Heaven neces-
sary to ensure in this district the full and COM
plete triumph of the true friends of freedom, but
full vote at the polls. Who then, who loves
the principles of freedom, as represented in the
person of our candidate, Charles Durkee, will
voluntarily absent himself from the polls on the
9th of November. Friend, it is not your neigh
Dor, but you, to whom we are speaking. Posi-
bly, upon your vote may depend the issue of this
contest, and on the issue of this contest may
hang the cause of Freedom throughout the I'm
ion. Will you then be so regardless of the res
possibility resting upon you-so reckless of the
high trust committed to your charge, as to neg
lect your duty on this occasion. Make up your
mind to permit no other duty to keep you from
the polls on the day of election.

SENATOR DOUGLASS, made speech to the
citizens of Chicago indicating his course on the
Fugitive Slave Bill, and arguing in favor of its
constitutionality. His speech had quite an effect
apparently convincing a majority of those who
listened to it. The common council of the city
which had the evening before, passed some strong
condemnatory resolutions both of Douglass ard
the bill, reconsidered them, and laid them on
the table for futher consideration. Several gen.

several evenings, and according to the accounts,
returned the tables again on the Hon. Senator.

NJ In presenting his name to the electors tor

held dear and which are held dear by the people
of the district, and if they thought these princi-

able, and more than all this, we know it was
truthful 1t is just like Mr.. Durkee; it cores

known and understood among us. He has not

mere personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in his nature, and
it is true, beyond question, as hs says, that his
chief desire is for the success of the principles
which he and all of us hold dear. This then is
the man really that we want. When we can
find a man who holds certain principles para
mount to his own individual ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
we can rest assured that we have found one who
will never betray those principles should they be
entrusted to his keeping, for how could such &
man be brbed or approached by the usual appli
ances brought to bear to seduce men from the
duty. Will his opponent be as magnanimous il

AS WE ExPEcTED.-Mr. Elmore was prob
ably the best man that solicited nomination at
the hands of the Rochester convention, and yet
he was the weakest man to run that they could
have nominated, and for very obvious reasons.
AS the candidate of a party, it was very necessa-
ry, to insure the party support, that he should be
able to present the consideration of services rem
dered the party. Mr.. Elmore has never been a
party man of any kind, and could present no such
consideration, and as consequence, the party
does not feel committed to his support. This is
remarkably manifest in the action of the Demo-
cratic county convention of his own county,
That body endorsed his nomination only by a
vote of % to Is; seven being absent or not vot-
ing. The truth is Mr.. Gilmore is too indepen-
dant in his feelings and expressions, to make
himself the pet Of. any party, and must there
fore depend upon his own merits to get to Con-
gress.

1000 MAJORITY FOR NM. DURKEE.
If the friends of Mr.. Durkee will but turn
out and go to the polls on the day of election,
we are quite confident that his majority may be
swelled in the district to 1900 votes. We hear
the most encouraging accounts from every part
of the district, of the progress of the good work
and there is no danger whatever, except from the
possibility of apathy on the part of friends. We
ought not to be contented with bare success
A bare victory would be but little better than a

the enemies of the good cause. Itco thousand
majority for one of the frmest and warmest
friends of freedom, in this far off land of the
West, will have its effect at Washington. 1t
will learn those who seek to become our lords and
masters, and who seek to bind us down with
wicked and oppressive laws, that the tide Of pop

west, the rising of that tide should commence.
We are here almost on the extreme confines OF
