ANRRIcANIsM AND FREEDOM.-Read the call
in another column, for an American meeting at
the City Hall, this evening 1t. Gov. Benehley,
Rev. J. H Temple Of birmingham, and Others,
are to be present and make addresses. Let there
be general turn out to the meeting, on the part
of our mechanics and business men.
We trust the course of policy resolved upon,
by both Americans and Republicans, in the COM
ing campaign, will be in accordance with the fol-
lowing noble suggestion:
Sneaker Banks in writing a reply'to an in-
vitation to attend the recent New Jersey Re
publican Convention, clothes wisdom in hit
ting language thus:
II invoke for your convention the spirit of
concession and union; tnat concession which
is made, as well as that which is demanded !;
and that union in action which distinguishes,
in every age of the world, men who are gift
ed to participate in the affairs of government,
and which will never fail to give to any cause
that has basis of truth and eternal justice,
all the success to which it is entitled. Diver
sity of opinion in non essentials, when suf-
fered to control the actions of men, will make
scccess impossible, and defeat the best cause
the world has ever seen. Our friends IN
Rhode Island, in Connecticut, and, above all,
New Hampshire, have given us glorious
lead, and won imperishable honor. Let us
profit by their example.

REPUBLICAN MEETING IN kBNTUoKY.-- On
"Wednesday, last week. a Republican meeting
was held in the Madison County Court House,
III Kentucky. VIM. Stepp, Esq, presided
A form of Constitution for Republican As
ISOLATION was adopted unanimously, and also
a resolve to appoint delegates to the Philadel-
phia Convention. Cassius NJ. Clay was among
those who addressed the meeting. He spoke
at length on the position of the Wing and
Democratic parties on the slavery question
and ON Kansas affairs, and advocated the ne
cessity of the Republican movement.
A Rev. Mr.. Johns, Methodist, who goes
for Fillmore and Donelson, intruding on the
meeting, replied to Mr.. Clay, and in the
course of his speech, boastingly eulogised the
mob which drove Brady from Lexington. He
was replied 10 by MIR. Clay and Rev. John g.
Fee, in scathing speeches, which made The
poor creature writhe. When they had con-
cluded, this Mr.. Johns again illustrated him
self, by reading from the New York Herald
an article on Mr.. Clay. in which he was ac-
cused of owning and selling slaves, and foul
" denounced in the usual style of that Sa-
tanic sheet. To this Mr. Clay replied with
such indignation and scorn, that Johns quail
ed, shrank back, and whiningly discIaimed
any attack on his motives.
"But," said Mr.. Clay, the mans a fool
who sees anything else but personality in that
article-against the reader of it-against the
man who handed it to him-against the clique
who backs him. against the party who in
dulge in such warfare, I hurl back defiance
and indignant contempt.
The following delegates to the Philadelphia
Convention were then appointed
Delegates Rev. John g. Fee, A. E. Nc
Williams, J. IL. Rawlings, Harrison Burnham.

Nh. EDIroR:-- writer in the Transcript
with whose style its readers should by this time
be well acquainted, has sent communication to

turning home after an absence of Fifteen years.
He commences by noticing the improvements at
the Court House-very naturally, because he was
probably there aohen he aCrote the communication
and comes up street, and lands, very naturally,
too, in the vicinity of Salem street. Now, Mr..
Editor, this is all CANNON, and is only intended
to attract attention, after the manner of quack
advertisements, to attract attention to this
recent (not "old') citizens spite against the
present City Government and Police Department.
This romancng is designed to have effect, 10 re-
place in power the publisher or the writer of the
Transcript.
By the way, where can be that locality on Sa-
lem street, we'll known to this old citizen who
had not been here for fifteen years, and where
drunkenness and fighting had filled the time
from Saturday night to Monday morningf" Now,
Mr., Editor, was somewhat acquainted with this
locality fifteen years ago, and can think of DO
well known locality Of the kind spoken of, except
! the spot upon which the Salem St. Church now
1 stands, and this must be the place referred.

Society at Nashua, N. H., year ago. was rid
ing out with his wife and only child, bow
about seven years of age, they arrived at the

on the upper lakes. man fell overheard in
the evening. The fact was Immediately dis
covered, and the captain Immediately threw a
number Of loose articles into the lake for the
drowning man to seize upon. Among these

had known the shingles were his, he would
not have done it.
