The Meeting,

The meeting of the Republicans on Tues
day evening for the purpose Of congratula-
ting each other on the result of the cleo
ton, went off admirably. Music by the
two bands. songs by the "Glee Club" and
short speeches was the order of the even
ing. The meeting was pertnently address
sed by Messrs. Gurley, Dillon, Guelich,
Lane, Plummer and Shofey, and dispersed
a, seasonable hour, well pleased with the
result OF the County and State electon.and
determined as far as the matter rested with
them, to make the election in November
still more emphatic in favor Of freedom and
true democracy.

CONFERENCE.-The Iowa City Reporter
states that Mr.. futile, one of the Clerks of
the election in that city, was the only
Democrat permitted to have any thing to
DO with the matter. Here the democrats"
had the exclusive control throughout, and
Republican was not even permitted to be
one of the Clerks. However we did the
thing up right. We voted right. and the
Judges counted out the votes correctly
Sylvester, however, appears to be quite
angry at the result, and in his anger throws
out insinuations about the Judges in his CT
'y, which we presume he does not mean for
earnest, but utters merely on account OF his
inability to say any thing else.

REPUBLICANS REJoIcISG.-We notice that
our Republican friends in Rock Island are
as greatly rejsiced at the result in Iowa as
we are. This is natural. We are all en-
gagged in the same cause, and are striving
for no less an object than, by our united Ell.
forts, to restore peace and constitutional
government to country sadly afiicted oy
the rule of demagogues and the aggressious
OF slavery propagandsts. We are glad for
our own sake aud the sake of the cause,
that we did not msintorm our Rock Island
friends as 10 the result. We hope to re-
cprocate the compliment of their rejoicing
when the news from Illinois informs us OF
the triumshant election Of Bssell and the
Republican.

DISTINGUISHED SpEAKeRs.--The Rock Is
land Adpertises publishes letters received
by the Fremont Club ia that city from
Francis Hoffman, Governor KGrner and
Frederick Hecker. Mr.. Hoffman writes
that he will be ost happy to address his
German fellow citizens in this region OF
country sometime during the present month,
and suggests the propricty Of holding the
meeting at Davenport. Gov. K9rner says
he will visit. Rock Island during the
month of October, and Will with pleasure
do every thing in his power to secure sue
cess to the freemen's ticket, which the Re-
publican ticket mos, emphatically is. We
give the conclusion of Fred. Hecker's let
ter:
III possible shall come to Rock Island
giving previous notice betimes. The great
number of invitations from the free States
renders it impossible for me to fix any day
in advance; to satisfy them all is physical
impossibity. So far as | nm instructed
the chances for Fremont are increasing dali
ly, and am certain that he can be sure oI
most part of the German American vote.
am with high consideration,
Yours, truly, FRED. HEcKER.
This is the same Hecker who the Stat
Democrat said had abandoned the cause o
freedom and Fremont. The foregoing
does not look much like it. 1t will b.
seen that Mr.. Hoffman will be in Daven
port certainly. He speaks as well in En-
glish as he does in German. We hope
that arrangements will also be made TO
having Kerner and Hecker. They ART
both very able men, and as pure patriot
as there are in the country.

The Indianapolis Journal, says Of the
Fremont tOrchlight procession In that
city:
"Those that Hattered themselves that
the enthusiasm which hailed the FIRST an.
nouncement Of FremOnt's nomination,
would soon diminish and die out. got an
"eye opener" on Saturday night that
may serve to end such prophecies for
good and all. Al dusk an immense crowd
gathered at the Court House. with torch.
es and transparencies. and formed pro.
cession which surpassed in extent and
enthusiasm Of feeling anything we ever
witnessed in the city. We had no idea
that the announcement Of suchj a demon.
straiion could bring out such crowd"
The Ohio State Journal. says:
The Fremont excitement is beginning

ed on the side Of Right in this contest,
the most disbOlical attempts have, at va
riOns times. been made to break down our
business and to destroy our influence.
This effort failed. Since the Buckeye
passed into our hands in March, 1854,
the subscription list has increased from

and the business Of the Office generally
has been extended in the same rapid pro-
portion.
We have so far prospered, beyond our
most Sanguine expectations, and under
