REPUBLICAN MEETING AT JACK
SON.


Pursuant to a call addressed to the
Republicans of Jackson, the largest con
course of people ever assembled at a
political gathering in that place, conven
ed on Friday evening, August 29th.-
The number present is variously estima
ted at from 500, 10 100O-a large part oI
which was composed of farmers aud la
boring men who were deeply impressed
with the necessity of resorting to some
measure, TO avert the extension, miti-
gate, and ultimately eradicate the enor-
nous evil of slavery.
Al about o'clock P. NJ. the Y oungs-
town brass band came in, and was sal
uted with three long, loud and animated
cheers. The light torch company came
next, from Ellsworth, and was greeted
with cheers, and music by the band
David Camp, Esq then gave command
to form a procession-carrying in the
van the "Star Spangled Banner" Light
Torch and Union Flag, and in this man.
ner, accompanied by Messrs. Camp and
Henry as marShals, Married to the Di-
ciples Church. The meeting was then
organized by appointing James Moore,
Esq. of Milton, President, D. Anderson,
Vice President, and w. B. Davidson and
c. Turnbull, Secretaries.
Subsequent to this, excellent speeches
were made by Smith of Warren, Bald
win of Youngstown, and Harrington of
Garfield. They all spoke with that de-
gree of energy and enthusiasm, which is
only characteristic of men of strong in.
tellect and warm ..hearts, engaged in
good and just cause. Mr.. Harrington's
address upon the constitutional power of
Congress to legislate upon the subject of
slavery in the territories, was an unbro-
ken chain of argument, perfectly irrefu-
table and delivered in such an eloquent
manner as to produce a visible impress
ion upon the minds of the audience C.
w. Smith paid a well merited compli-
ment to the la1ies, large number of
whom were present; after which. in a
short speech, replete with argument and
wit, be held the assemblage in rapt at
tention. interrupted only by numerous
bursts of laughter and applause. Jesse
Baldwin then replied very satisfactorily
to some interogations proposed by Major
Grove. The balance of his remarks
were highly edifying, and gave evidence
that he was thinking, as well as an elo
quent man. His remarks Were confined
to the discussion of principles sacred to
every lover of his country.
This meeting is positive indication
that jackson is destined to acquit her.
self fhonolably at the ensuing elections.

LITERARY PIRAcY.-The Westminster
Revie'O for July, contains thorough ex-
posure of the impudent literary piracy
which DIR. William Smith, in his Latin
English Dictionary" has committed upon
the Labors of our Countryman, Prof. E.
A. Andrews piracy the more censu-
rable because DIR. Smith, after aVailing
himself of Prof. Andrews work. and ap-
propriating it under his own name, has
the effrontery in his preface to dispar-
age the work which he had found so
useful.

Admitting that an enemy might ap-
proach our shores with purpose of pira-
cy, or plunder, or conquest, who car
doubt that the surest protection would be
found-not in the insane waste of previ-
GUS Preparations not in the idle fortress
es along our coasts, built at cost far
surprising all our lighthouses and all
our colleges-but in the intelligence
union, and pacific repose of good men,
with the unbounded resources derived
from an uninterrupted devotion to pro-
ductive industry 1 think it may be as
sumed as beyond question, in the pres
ent light of political economy, that the
people who have spent most sparingly in
preparations for war-all other things
being equal-must possess the most en-
during means of actual self-defence at
home, on their own soil, before their own
hearths-if any such melancholy altern-
ative should occur. Consider the prodi-
gious sums, exceeding in all two thou
sand millions of dollars, squandered by
the United States, since the adoption of
the Federal Constitution, in support of
the War System. Surely, if these means
had been devoted to railroads and canals,
TO schools and colleges, our country
would possess, at the present moment, an
accumulated material power grander far
than any she now boasts. But there is
another power of more unfailing temper,
which would also be hers. Overlooking
with intelli 5ence, with charity, with civ
ilization, with all that constitutes gen
erous state, she would be able TO win
peaceful triumphs transcending all she
has yet achieved-surrounding the land
with an invincible self defensive might,
and, in their unfading brightness, zen
dering all glory from war impossible
Well does the poet say, with most per-
suasive truth
What constitutes State
Not high-raised battlements laoored mound,
Thick walls moated gate;
Not cities proud, with towers and turrets crowned;
Not beys and oroad-armed ports,
Where, laughing at the storm, rich navies ride;
But MES, higt-minded MEN.
CHARLES SUMNER.

in overthrowing the Constitution; and
the Senate insists that unless we leave
him at full liberty to continue this rev.
olution, they will not permit the bill to
pass, and will leave the army without
support Very well; let them take the
responsibility; but 1 protest against their
attempts to charge it upon us, who stead
lily vote for the bill. We will give him
the money. but viii prohibit its applica-
ton to such purposes.
During the past year, the President
employed the army to disperse peaceful
citizens of Kansas, elected by the peo-
pie to the Office of Legislators, and who
had assembled, under such election, for
the discharge of official duties, lest their
action might operate against the enact
ments of those Missourians to whom
have referred. He has used the army
as posse, to aid the arrest of citizens
charged with disobeying the enactmeats
of those Missourians who professed to
legislate for the government of Ksnsas;
and the army is at this time acting as
guard to hold distinguished citizens
of that Territory in durance, under the
charge of treason, for refusing to obey
those Infamous enactments.
With these historical facts before US,
we see them sustained by the entire
Democratic party. Every member of
that party now makes himself partiei-
pator in all these outrages. And when
this bill with its proviso was presented
to them for action, they with nearly
unanimous voice voted against it. They
insist that the army shall go without
support, unless we leave the President
at liberty to employ it in the same man
ner that he has done during the year
past. The Senate sustains the same DO
sition, and even denounces US as factioas
for refusing to comply with their de-
mands. l propose to meet them frankly
on this issue. will not surrender nv
own independence. trust no Repubh.
can will. / do not believe there is a
constituency north Of Mason and Dixon's
line who desires their Representative to
yield this point. What member of the
Republican party will do it !?
Sir, this bill has been before the SEN
ate many days. They have had time to
make up their minds. This body has
also reflected upon it maturely. I pre-
sumo each member has formed his opin-
ion. We have had two committees of
conferences. They have failed to agree.
We have done all that parliamentary
rules, that legislative etiquette requires.
We are near the end of the session. We
have reached the Sabbath mornings
and 1 think we should bring this contro-
versy to an immediate close. have
therefore made the motion that "his
House adhere to its amendment" And
having done this, let us appeal to God
and our country.

The Wealthy serfs of Russia.


Count B., a gentleman OF We
~ extensive landed property IN the
South of Russia, was left an or
phan at about the age of seventeen,
and Of course until he was of age
he was under the direction of his
guardian. On his attaining his ma
jorty, he determined upon visiting
each of his estates in succesSlOn.-
IL was nigh. when he reached the
largest one IN liule Russia he
drove quietly TO the house, as he
thought, not marked 10y the villa
gers, bur not SO early the next
morning he was awakened by a
great noise and tumult ; he looked
out of the window, and to his dis
may beheld the whole yard crowd
ed with peasanlry. A momenlary
fear presented itself to his mind,
that the serls had risen, aud they
had designed his distructlon. lie
determined, however, to meet the
danger boldly he dressed aud hur-
ried down amongst them He was
received with shouts that did not
reassure him, aud then a sullen ST.
lence succeeded. This was broken
by two or three of the oldest peas
ants, who advanced towards hun,
and with great respect begged to
know if it We're true that he was,
as they had heard, deeply involved
IN debt. Because" said they, "we
do not wish to be disgraced by hav-
ing proprietor who is in such EN-
barrassment. We therefore hope
that you will allow us to discharge
your debts, that you may be free
from it for that purpose we have
collected together a million of roub-
les, (assignauts) which we have
brought with us, and which we en-
treat you TO accept"
Some Of their companions then
stepped forward, having in their
hands heavy bags aud rolls of bank
notes, showing that they had the
means as well as their will to insure
the success oftheir plan. The Count
was too much affected to answer
them Immediately; but when he had
acquired sufficient composure, he
thanked them heartily, but assured
them that they were mistaken, " 1t
is true" he said, "that on my IA
theirs death some OF the property
was morigaged, but my guardian,

were fearful lest he should have told
them so only because he did not de-
sire their money. It was only by
repeated assurance that they were at
last convinced that it was fact
They then begged that he would
accept Of the money as present ;
on that being declined, they would
only be satisfied with the promise
that in case he should fnd himself
in difficulties, he would apply TO
them and not to strangers.
