Republican Club.

UPPER SASDUsEY, Sept, III. 1856.
,sThelp President, DIR. Ferris. called the
club TO order. The reading Of the min
uses was dispensed with. Committee on
speakers reported Mr.. Jacob Scroggs, Of
Bucyruse as speaker for the evening.
/, Mr.. Scroggs proceeded to address the
audience in speech which, for sound
argument and Interesting facts. we have
not heard equalltd during the campaign.
j. He commenced by showing that the
old financial issues which had so long oc
cnpied the. attention of the people, have
passed away, andlgiveu place TO the great
question lof- humanity and the rights Of
man-that the loud cry for freedom which
is now going up in our land, is to be an
swered 5y the resultof the present cam
paien.a He showed how artfully the Blu
chanan politicians, seek to blind the peo-
pie to the issues involved, and passed on
notice the buybear disunion, which he
argued was gotup to frighten timid peo-
pie from the path Of duty. The speaker
Rad anumerous extracts from the Rich
rnond Eaquirer showing the position Of
the Southern Democracy and the kind Of
arguments they employ in supporting Bu-
chsnaa-e That paper, declared that slave
ry existed independent Of the Constitu-
tion-.-that Squatter Sovereignty is an ar
rent, huhnbug and that the Kansas bill
legalizes slavery in all the territories.-
He met the objection that has been
raised against Col.r Fremont, because he
voted against the abolition of slavery in
fhe District of Columbia, by showing
that slavery existed in the territory COM
Prisinglthe District prior TO its cession by
Maryland and Virginia, anil while Con-
gress had the nndoubted right to abolish
slavery there, good faith toward the peo-
pie of the District precluded its exercise
Fremont therefore had voted right
The Republican party do not propose to
NEEDLE with slavery, where it exists by
law, rs in the District of Columbia, but
only to prevent its further extension.
hgHe again read from the Richmond En-.
quirer, q and other Southern Democratic
authorities to show the hostility of South,
erng Democracy to Free Schools, and theil
determination to. abolish them. North
ern Democrats, he said, may think they
had something so do with the manufac
ture of the: Cincinnati Platform, but the,
were mistaken; il was the work of th,
Slave, 0lgarchy-r The election Of Blu
Iehananswo befconsidered great tri
iumpb Of the South. s.
The speaker then adverted to tn
chsrge 26 7sstiogalism brought agains
.Gol- Fremont. which he proved to be un
founded.sN 20 alassaafl II si.,.,.E
In conclusion, he showed that jaime
-Buchaaanat through all his long politics
career, has been faithful TO slavery; tha
he never gave a vote against its interests
in the language of the Richmond Enqui
rer. " he never gave vote which coult
pain the most sensitive Southern heart.
Therefore, she South laid aside all othe
candidates and united upon him who ha
given tbH fgeaks ofunbroken servitude
s"Well done, good and faithful servant,
says the South ''come up higher and re
-ceiye thy reward; as, thou hast bee
faithful overay fem things, we will max
thee ruler oyer many
