New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1856-04-04

| fore them had, il seems appointed tour speakers
| 10 discuss the matter, pro and con-t~o on
each side. In the negative appeared Mr. Rse,
who, we are proud to say, was originally oi
| New.York, though Low resident OF the
| County Of Loudour. According to the report oil
| The Loudoun Mir7or-tO which we are indhbted Tor
our know ledge Of tie meeting, and which tffhioh'
| with horror while il relates such enormiIes-
this audacious Mr.. Rae openly, in the meeting
"declared himself in favor Of the Black RepublI-
'can party, denounced the Fugitive Slave laS, and
Fillmore for sigring it; declared il to be uncon-
"s.tutionsl, and that it should be repealed He
would not touch Slavery where it exlsted-he
"uould leave it to die out upon the land that bred
"it-but he would have the balance OF the terri'
"tory Of the United States cOnsecrated to Freedom
Gin accordance with the principles Of our Reyoll'
tionsry forefathers. What ours but land
"of liberty And was the Fugitive Slave Law or
Missouri rufianism in accordance with tlis I'D
"erty1 He wished it repealed, and there was
mighty party arising in the North whose aim 1t
"yss 10 blot out this law, and restrain Slavery
"within its present limits" But what aggravated
the horror ard indignation Of The LOsdorn Mirror,
already sufficiently reused bJ the idea that Mr..
Rae or any body else should have dared to speak
such words under the SKY of Virginia, was the fact,
which that journal reluctantly and Indignantly
records that these anti kidnapping and anti-Sav-
ery-e II. ndng, and in consequence, anti-slaye-
bret ding sentiments were actually received By the
assembly with shouts of applause
Nor did Mr.. Rae stand alone in the utterance Of
these reasonable sentiments. After reply from one
of the slaye-breeding advocates Mr.. Jesse Brown
responded-and as the contrary is not stated, we
are led to conclude that he must have been ma
tive-born Vrginian. 'He INDUCED, we are told,
- in the same strain with bis colleague, Dir. Rae,
ard wound up with the eloquent language oil
some Senator, that the gentle green slopes oil
Nebraska should not be made rotten with the
institution of Slavery which atrocious SEN
timent, though it made the hair OF the LoSdon"
Mirror stand on end with very horror, was yet ac-
tusly received by this assembly of let-loose ard un-
tied VirQinians with Immense applause" The
great cause of slavebreeding and slayedrivlng did
not, however, 90 without defenders. Men were
found " no dared to stapd up in its behalf even IN
the midst Of this congregation of incendares. The
excellent Mr.. John Simpson, faithful Abdlel, his
hair all on end like that Of The Londoun Mirror,
was utterly astonshed that such sentiments should
"be uttered upon Southern soil, that Black Repub-
"licans should dare attack our institutions upon
"our own territory. He thought the gentleman
from New-York had never read the Constitution,
cor if he had, he knew nothing about 1T. Did 1t
"not declare that fugitive slaves should be delv
"ered up And yet he Tad the hardihood TO pro-
"nounce the fugitive slave law unconstitutional.
But the audscious Rae was not so to be sensed.
He objected to the epithet :" Black Republican as
one not fit for the mouth of genteman-as though
ANYTHING Characteristic If gentleman could be
rationally expected of an Infatuated savedriver-
and proceeding to reinforce his former Positions he
was-te il not in Cath" frequently interrupted
'by immense applause" This called out another
slsvedriying champion, Mr.. Trayhorn, whose
Efforts on behalf OF Virginia institutions were not
less distinguished than those of Mr.. Simpson. Mr..
Tra,horn thought that Mr. Rae "had better go
"bsck to the North and mingle with Fred. Douglass
"snd Lucy Backrool Stone, or Lucy Stone Black
',eool, who were genial spirits. The South was
.'no place for the expression OF such opinions. lie
denied the right to express such sentiments.
And yet sad to say, this witty and energetic pro-
test against the liberty Of speech was interrupted
by exclamations-'' He has the right "He has
"liberty of speech which the counter cries of
ono No" "He has 10 right were quite unable
to drown. After some sparring with Dir. Rae, IN
which the latter mad the impudence to fling into
Mr.. Tra,horn's face the suggestion that in New
IT y, ha nj aaat
this champion Of slavedrying continued his re-
marks in proof Of Southern suffrance and North
"ern aggression, and, as if to clinch the nail on
the spot, concluded by saying, THAT sooner than
see Black Republicanism prevail as dearly as he
'loyed this Union, he would see it dissolved.
Having subsequently been called to account for this
ayowal by one Of the slsveholding champions, who
now seemed almost ready 10 go over to the other
side Mr.. Tray horn again repeated il, when horrible
to Say, ''as he took bis seat be was Kissed All,
Kissed for il is TO be remembered that this meeting
was held IL Goose Greek Church-"by Black Re
publican of the name of Hugh Holmes" just as
though every tavedriver was not at perfect liberty
to let the Union slide at pleasure, especially at
the end Of speech which demanded TO be
wound up with little of melO-dramatc rhetoric.
Finally, during the speech Of one Jesse Hogue'
who seems to have been as desperate fellow as
Hugh Holmes himself aud whose " hammering
gestures" appear to have go startled our Loudoun
reporter as to have driven all recollection of the
speech out of his head :" the excitement became 80
great that the meeting broke up amid the great
- e.t clamor and confusion
In conclusion, The L0sdOun Mirror calls upon
the slave drivers of all parties to forget for the mo-
