Republicans Mobbed.

Week before last three hundred free
men met at the Melodeon, Wheeling, Va
to form Republican State Electora
Ticket. They were set upon and dis
persed by a mob. DR.. Smith, one of th'
speakers, was dragged half a square, th'
mob hooting, some calling for a rope
some for tar, some for the river, whel
he drew knife and stabbed two of hi
assailants. He then took refuge in th'
Jail to prevent being lynched.
Thus is free speech, and thus are FREE
men treated in the Old Dominion, th'
land of Washington and Jefferson. Th'
end is not yet. ''Truth crushed to eartl

REPUBLICAN CLUB.-The Club was
addressed OF last Friday evening by J.
D. Sears, Esq, in one of the most argu-

far in the campaign, presenting the issues
between the parties in clear and concise
manner, and riddling that Locofoco hum
bug. "squatter sovereignty" which,
however, Mr.. s. showed the party had
abandoned. Mr.. Sears alluded to some
of the laws of the Kansas Legislature,
and said that under them, man going
into Kansas who should happen to have
his trunk lined with newspaper contain
ing that sentiment from the Declaration
of independence that "all men are born
free and equal" it would send him to the
