have the most cheering indications that the
public mind is heartily and BEAUTIFULLY directed
toward the outrageous conduct of Judge hsae
and his despotic imprisonment of Passmore WI
hanson. Even those who have heretofore, from
lukewsrmness or indisposition to "agitats"
been willing to cotton to the South. look upon
this last invasion on the Personsl liberty Of .
free nan as something which must be met and
resisted As necessary consequence the strength
Of the Republican party is Increasing, and those
who few months since professed to know
nothing now know something must be done ~
save the North from the political aggressions OF the
Slave Power, and prevent the virgin free soil oil
the Territories from its decoration. A call has
been made snd will soor be published, very exteu-
siyely signed by our best citizens irrespective OF
former partisan bias, for meeting to organize
Republicanism in this city and send delegates To
the Pittsburgh Convention. IL will be such 8

Southern ultraism. II is too late for the receg-
niticn of Northern men with Southern principles.
