SAM CHEERING SAMBO IN PHILA.
DELPHIA,

Philadelphia was the scene of great political
excitement on Thursday evening, the 9th inst,
three parties having mass mcctings-thc Re
publicans at Independence square, the Amcrl-
cans ut the Central square, and the Democrats
at Second and Dock street square. The Rcpub
lican meeting was very large and the speaking
was from four stands. Over the principal
stand were the words Fremont and Freedom"
formed by Jets of gas. While the speaking
was going on, q procession of Fillmore men
passed the square, when the two masses joined
in cheering the Union ticket.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin (Black
Republican,, of the 10th, at the close of its
report of the Fremont meeting, says:
The crowd about the main stand kept the
ground until very late hour, and when the
last speaker had closed, three tremendous
cheers were given for Fremont and Dayton
three for the Union-thrcc for the Uaion Statc
Hckrt and three for Kansas
A motion to adjourn was then made, when
an enthusiastic Republican, away of on the
edge of the crowd, called in stentoran tones
Before we adjourn one more shrek for free

shout arose on the instant, aud the crowd be.

At this meeting, as well as at the Fillmore
meeting, the speakers urged the duty Of the

as | have said on another occasion, must be-
come embarrassing questions The North is,
beyond all question, the most populous, the
most wealthy, and has the most votes, and
therefore has the power to inllict this injustice
upon the South But we can best Judge of its
consequences by reversing the case. Suppose
that the South was the most populous, the
most wealthy, and 20 scsscd the greatest mum
Der of electoral votes, and that 1t should de-
clare that for some fancicd or real injustice
done at the North it would elect none but u
President and Vice President of shareholders
from the South to rule over the North. Do
you think, fellow-citizens, you would submit
to this injustice? (No, no.) No, truly you
would not but one universal cry Of No would
rend the skies! And can you suppose your
Southern brethren less sensitive than your
selves, or less jealous Of their rights? If you
do, let me tell you that You are mistakcn-and
you must therefore perceive that the success
OF such party, with such an object must be
the dissolution of this glorious Union!"

Republican Meeting.
There will be mass meeting in this CITY
on the 18th Of October.

1T DON'T LOOK wgLL.--Some of the Buch-
aneer lapers in Maine are expressing their
deep regret that so many Southern speakers
should have come up into the State previous to
she late election. For Messrs. Cobb and BEN
Janln, leading men in the Pro- Slavery ranks,
represent themselves in Free Maine with the
purpose OF reconciling the people to the pol
icy which the Slavery Propagandis have
adopted to serve their own peculiar ends,
VIZ; TO extend anu fortify the institution Of
Slavery, increase the price of human flesh
AMI blood, and make the business OF rearing
slaves Tor the market more profitable and
certain, seemed q little too bold; il VI. 4
species Of efrontery which well displayed
the lmpadence Of the Slave Power, and the
point Of presumption and Importance 10
watch 1t had reached. No wonder that tbey
saoaid discover that it was too impudent .
tang TO have done, and become persuaded
that 1t reacted against the cause which they
plead.
but though It was imprudent, it was not
improper. II was right that the ruling spir-
y, the power which controls and dictates the
policy and conduct Of the party, should ap-
p ar PLAINLY through oil the Canvass that il
saouid summon its advocates and parade its
honest arguments before the eyes and the
miLds OF the people. Let the American
masses, meet the masters Of the Black Dem
ocraey lace TO face; let argument be brought
against argument, man be pitted agai. 81
man, all disguise be thrown Oh, and Slavery
and Freedom front each other in fair hand
to-hand light. Under whatever cover or
subterfuge the canvass may be carried ON in
any quarter, that is the animus Of the cam
pa'gn,--it is struggle on the part Of Slave
~ Tor permanence and supremacy; and on
the part Of Freedom, for the integrity Of
the constitution, the preservation Of the an.
cient landmarks, and the limitation Of Slave
ry to the strict bounds OF the law,-ani whv
not let every thing apeear, in its proper light
and urged by fitting advocates l, may
shock some nerves, but it will aecustom PEG.
PIE to call things by their right names, und
they would act in the light Of facts aud re..
son ana honest sentiments. Il would play
havoc with the Black Democracy, we are
wall aware; but we are gra,ihed that for
this once An ardent zeal led them into an in.
voluntary fitness and transparency of con-
DUCT which We should be glad to see con,inu.
