The Indiana Journal contains the follow
ing call:
nWe are requested by large number of
persons from different portions OF the State,
70 olive notice that there will be a Mass
Meeting of the anti Nebraska voters of In
dia mn. and such others as may sympathize
with them, held in the city of Indianapolis.
on the 18Th of July, 1856, to consider the
state of public affairs, and for more tho
rough organization of the Republican or Peo-
pies Party"
In other words, Mr.. Journal, to endeavor
to Gbotitionize the American party of Indiana.
If the counsels of Messrs. Orth and Colfax,
and the editors of the Indiana Journal pre-
vail at this meeting on the 18th OF July, the
locofocos will carry the State at the next
general election, Dy larger majority then
they ever have done heretofore. Mark our
WORLDLY. Y. Trib.
Precisely so. This meeting has been
called by the Free-soil gan at Indianapolis.
It originated with Free-soilers. 1t will be at
tended by Free-soiets alone; and its voice
will be the voice of Free-soiers. The State
Journal has no authority to call any other
than Free-soil meeting. 1t has no right to
call convention of the Republican party,
and in consideration of one issue alone.
No one doubts but the Republican party OF
Indiana is nti-Nebraska all over-but this
was not the only question upon which it was
started; and besides, there is no reason why
this party should be sacrificed now on the
question of the restoration of the Missouri
Compromise. Let but the counsels of Free
sellers prevail, and as the Tribune says, the
Locofocos will carry this State by larger
majority than ever before.
Great Demonstration in New York!
Know NoTHINGs BY THE AcRE!-Last
Monday evening at single days notice
about 25 900 people collected in the Park at
New York, to endorse the "American Plat
FORM" Our N. York exchanges are overflow
ing with reports of the tremendous demonstra-
ton. Six stands were erected, and at one
time seven speakers were going it at once
from different points in the Park. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Speaking Of
this meeting, the N, Y. Express says:
Hereafter Sam is no longer p stripping!
He is giant-yea, a veritable Samson-for
nothing but live Samson could have raised
at a single days notice, from twenty-five to
thirty thousand Americans in the Park, last
evening. 1t was to respond to the action OF
his National Council in Philadelphia, to be
sure-and everybody expected that the strip
ping would be about-but nobody expected
to see him bring with him men (and women
too) by the square mile. 1t was, all in all
such mighty demonstration of the people
the real American People, we mean-such
as The Commercial Emporium never beheld
before.
This Park meeting was in good degree
impromptu-no time having been allowed
for any of the usual preparations in the
Wards, or for gathering together the large
suburban population that now surround thi:
city. Notwithstanding, however, all that
and the very early hour, 5 P. M, at which
men of labor and of business were summoned
| from their various northumberland:
were OH hand, and the crowd kept on con.
tinually increasing till after dark. AT siz
O'Clock the whole lower end of the Park was
full of people, and the general estimate was
that no fewer than twenty-five thousand per.
sons were on the ground.
