sssemblage in substance as follows:
REMARKS OF GOV. REEDER.
thank YOU for this warm and cordial greeting-for
the testmony il bears to that there is lively en-
thusiasgn n this people for Freedom. During the last
Winter saw your District in Congress used by
Slavery TO rivet letters on free people-used to en-
force wrong and injustice upon man. Ii is gioriou,
contrast TO see YOU here rebukng that representation
and hope that at the next Congress the voters or
this District will not be used for tyranny lCheer7
The great element OF this contest Is the situation oil
things ia Kansas. For the last two years there
Las been scheme TO carry Slavery into Kansas against
the will Of her people. Ii il new phase OF Slavery
agitation. There has been feeble party in the North
who have tried 10 interfere with Slavery in the States
and we have bad agitation upon the Nlmot PrOvlsoi
but the question is put TO determine whether civil
izaOn shall be put down, the foundations OF our Gov
eminent be subverted by forcing Slavery upon Kansas
This attempt has been made with the completely OF the
North, and is now sustained by the Democratic
party of the country These isctS, @i,icn
This echene Of the South has given rise TO outrages
which are a disgrace to civilization and to the age ~
which we live. 1t is an error to take up an isolated
outrage and examine il. The whole with all the cir
crnstances should be examined. The facts OF the
violation of the ballot box the enacton of bogus laws,
the appointment TO every territorial ofhce, so tar as
tbey could from the South, the murders, the plage
ana the outrages, all but parts of one vast scheme.
Their scheme is now nearly contaminated. Two more
elections carried the two last have BEEN aud Slave
Constitution will be forced upon Kansas. Between
the two ConetitutiOns-tbe Slave and the Free-thee
viii he a contest in Congress. IL will be for the peO-
ME Of this district to say whether they will send
10 Congress who will vote for the Free-Stae Constitu
Zion or the Slave State Constitution. Beyond that is
tyue lies the question of Slavery extension If any
supposes that this question is 10 result only to Kansas,
he has conception of the issue. Only one-half of
our territory is populated. From Kansas to the Pa
ci6c is unsettled-a full half continent-a vast
empire the institutions of which to be
fixed in this contest. If you cannot save Kansas to
Freedom with majority of Free-State men on It's soil,
with but one Slave State intervening, will any man
pretend it is possible b save the second or third And
Slavery having now 2J0, GOO square miles more than
YOU possess, will add from ten to twelve mammoth
States TO the South. Is not this matter OF denOnstra
ton that you cannot save a second unless yos can
can save the first Satel This accession of Slave
States will make twenty more Southern senators with
proportionate representation in the House with ma
forty of the Electoral College, and power Will exist to
make war on Mexico to secure more slave territory
and the North will then be but small spot of our
country. The manner in which Kansas will have been
acquired by Slavery If It is to be acquired Will ind-
cate how the power will be used there against free H.
sttutions For one, l will never vote TO extend
the principle of slave representation over another
inch of territory cheers Another result that will fol-
low will be the establishment of the slave trade
which has been darling idea of Southt I'm mea for
vears Then will follow the realization of the doctrine
asserted of the right of STAKEHOLDER to 60 where he
peascs with his property t. remain with that property
as long a. he pleases. All these considerations enter
into this presidential contest. The Northern States are
continually pouring West stream of free emf grafton. In
the west the emgant is enabled himself home
where he lay the foundation of wealth and prosperity
for himself and OF civilization and intelligence for our
common country. Buttonce desecrae Kansas and tne
other territories with Slavery and at once you cut of all
nducemen for men 10 emgrate thither and the result
that Free Labor remains here To come into constant
competition 80 that the prices of labor mnish and
tie of the people arc Impoverished and de-
gridCd as they i'll Europe. Ireland has offered an
example of this China affords another instance, and
TO-DAY her population is sold slaves Gov. johnson
of Georgia. in his speech made yesterday IN Phlladc
mia admits my premises III this respect and this be-
inr admitted there is but logical conclusion. Ii
it is question of capital and labor as Gov. johnson
savs-a question whether the South shall own his Ia
Dor or hire il. it will soon be question whether
out the whole Union shall shall hire their labor
This Territory the North must have for s surplus pop
uation But do the South want il for that purpose
Whoever heard of a negroowning State having sur
Plus population The idea is absurd. What they de-
size il for is TO increase slave representation IN Con
eess that they may be enabled to dictate the policy OF
our Government and obtain supreme control.
In the conclusion of Gov. Reeders remarks he fuIy
ndorsed the nominations Of Fremont and Dayton, and
made an eloquent speech in behalf of free principles
and the men representing them.
The Hon. GEORGE H. BRowY of Somervlle for
merly member Congress from New-Jersey), made a
brief speech He alluded TO the anomaly now
hibted in free Republic. Mr.. Breckenridge was now
in Northern States advocating the principles OF Sav-
cry MS embodied in the Cincinnati pattorn-whle,
had one Of the who had appeared upon this stand
uttered his sentiments in southern State ne would
have been waited upon by Vigilance Committee and
ordered To leave the State Immediately. The industrial
ASPECT of the question was also examined by Ise
sneaker lie showed that labor could only be dgnihed
when il was untrammeled and not brought into COM
petition with the labor of the bOndman The present,
the speaker conceived the time to meet this issue
Mr. SrAIksBY of Newark made some able remarks
showing the importance of the present issue to the
laborng men of the country.
After other speeches the meeting adjourned amid the
greatest enthusiasm.
