For the National Era.
MR.. GROW AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.

One of the largest political meetings ever
held in our county assembled on Monday even
ing, April 18th, TO hear the explanations Of Hon.
u. A. Grow, in relation to the manly stand ia
ken by him in the late contest for the Speaker.
ship.
To give the readers of the Era an idea of the
sentiments of the meeting, which is a true in
dex of the state of feeling in the whole district.
| herewith subjoin two of the resolutions unan-
imously adopted:
ResOlred, That we heartily approve the course
pursued by our Representative, G. A. Grow,
upon the question of Slavery Extension, from
the day he first took his seat in Congress to the
present time, and that we regard him now as
heretofore, as Susquehanna's favorite son."
ReSolced, That We approve the action of the
Republican Convention held at Pittsburgh on
the 22d of February last, to consolidate the
elements of opposition to Slavery Extension
into our political party in the next Presidential
election, and that we recognise the platform
there adopted as containing the only question
at issue in that election.
The citizens of this district are thoroughly
aroused to the interests of the North: they are
sound on the one great question Of the day
they feel that the struggle which has been SO
long coming on is actually begun, and they
thank the South and their Northern tools for
thus Fastening the day in which all must de-
clare either for or against the principles of uni
versal Liberty; they are sensible that the time
has come when that Declaration, which pro-
claims all men created free and equal" must,
in its universal application, be endorsed; that
in this contest either Liberty or Slavery must
triumph; and they are determined it shall not
be that black power whose champion boosted
that he would yet call his slsveroll on Bunker's
Hill. They will not be hoodwinked by those
demagogues who seek to divert them from the
only question of moment now before the Amer
lean people, by bringing before them, as all alb
sorbing topics, Know Nothingism, war with
Europe, &C.; for they know full well that these
secret cabals, these midnight iuntas, exist
but in name, and that none but fools or knaves
would think of fomenting disturbances between
England and the United States.
Be assured that the district represented by
Hon. G. A. Grow will not swerve from the path
the whole North must tread, if they would have
the principles Of our patriot sires adhered to,
and if they would have our Territories preserv.
ed from chat institution that has proved the
curse of the South.
If Liberty must fall. if Slavery must triumph,
it will be when their bones are bleaching on the
battle field. HERMoN.

Il Word OF CAUTION
SoMERswoRTH, N. a., april 9, 1856

DO"hhS"ohih, W. IL, hp'U y, ioOO
Who shall be the Republican candidate2
The man that has been tried, and found true !
There are about ten thousand of us in this
State, who have been willing to bear reproach
an the cause of human freedom; and while we
are willing to sacrifice everything for the cause,
yet we must have reliable man. We feel this
to be more necessary now than ever, as we are
about driven to the wall.
All Of the old issues are dropped, except the
extension of Slavery and now some begin to
talk of stakeholder as a suitable standard
bearer for us in the next Presidential contest
To this we cannot submit. We think New
Hampshire safe for the Republicans next fall,
provided we have the right men in the field.
But, if either of our candidates be STAKEHOLDER,
the Democrats will carry the State. 1t was
very hard work to bring some of our voters to
the polls at our March election, in consequence
of the nomination of Fillmore by the American
party, and some few would not VOTE
And we ask what is to be gained by nomina-
ting STAKEHOLDER for President or Vice Presi-
dent? We shall not obtain a single vote from
the slave States by such course, and may lose
largely in the free States.
While politicians are lowering our platform
to take on everything, let them be careful lest
those who picked the first flint step off.

GLOOMY APPREHENSIONS.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. March |, 1856

ANbiANAFOLlc, IND, LuuICH lOOO.
Just as you anticipated, and many more with
you, the Know Nothings are going to ruin the
cause of Freedom. Fillmore will take enough
of votes, in this State and number of others
to throw them into the hands of the Democrats
Several papers in this State have hoisted his
flag; and some are proposing compromise
and union between them and the Republicans.
And there is great reason to fear some arrange
ment will be made in this State, and in the
National Convention at Philadelphia, to bring
those parties together. If we yield to Know
Nothingism, we are defeated and if we do not,
we are defeated, as the signs of the times seem
to indicate. 1t looks a little like Lorenzo
BOWS Interpretation of Calvinism "You can,
and you can't; you will, and you won't; you'll
be damned if you do, and be damned if you
don't"
Now, sir, I will tell you what presume is true
Unless the Republican party, at their meeting
at Philadelphia, make clear, unqualified state
ment IN favor of the prohibition of Slavery in
all the Territories of the United States, as the
least thing that can be done on principle, and
put i'll nomination men of undoubted Ant-Sla-
very sentiment, above mere Missouri Compro-
mise Anti-Sayery, there will be scores and
hundreds of men, who, in despair of party &C.
comphshment of good, will "stand still to see
the salvation of God" If the people have not
Anti Slavery sanctifcation enough to take up
some old Free-Soilers, even, "they have never
tasted of the good word Of life," and they are
yet in the gall of Slavery and bonds of Compro,
mise The idea that some late slip from the
Democratic party must be selected, is ridicu-
lous. Give us good principles, and the men
to carry them out; and if you give US short
principles, by all means give us good men, to
do better than the principles require. We ask
that no old "Barnburner" shall be put up for
President or Vice President. Give us some
such man as Chase. Nothing short of such
could suit our taste. The people are willing,
but the leaders are taint-hearted and usbeIieU-

j. r. GIDDINGS AMONG THE PRO
GRESSITE FRIENDS

On the 9th instant, the Hon. Joshua r. Gid
dings attended the first day morning meeting
of Progressive Friends, in the new meeting
house at Longwood, in Chester county, Penn
sylvania. During the service of the meeting,
to use his own language, he "felt moved to
speak" The seven articles of our association
being read, he took occasion, during his re-
marks, to express his sympathy Nth this re-
hgiOus body, and The character of its platform.
Had he been for years accustomed to preaching
the gospel of peace, instead of wearing the
warriors mail, at his post, as the sentinel for
Freedom in the National Councils. He could
not have spoken with greater JUNCTION, evincing
deep and experimental knowledge of spiritu-
al things, and the beautiful harmony between
religion and life. After the close of the morn
ing meeting, an appointment had been made
for him to address our people on the present
very, which he did to a very large and crowded
auditory. He was certainly in his happiest
mood. His organ Of hope stood up like giant
pillar of strength. he is admirably calculated
to inspire hope and confidence in those who
hear him. The auditory were delighted with
the rich fund of anecdote in which he INDUCED,
as he revealed many incidents which had oc-
Cured among the political wire workers behind
the screen. Then, his trust in the divinity and
omnipotence of Truth, in its contest with Des
potism, is calculated to impress the wavering
in most remarkable manner. 1t is law in
the universe of the Infinite, that when strong
man is removed, the mantle falls on another,
aud the wheels Of reformation 60 on with un-
checked power; but will it be wise for the citi-
zens of Ashtabula, at this critical juncture of
affairs in the Government to permit this long
tried and faithful sentinel to leave his post,

PROPAGANDISM IN OREGON.
LEBANON, MARION Co., O. T.,

HcUuTy D, 1000.
We, here in Oregon, contrary to my expecta-
tons when came here, have got to battle with
the minions of despotism on our own nominally
free soil, for Slavery propagandism has her ennis
saries busily engaged in preparingth this Territory
for a slave State. And / am sometimes afraid
that their success will prove greater than the
friends of Freedom anticipate, and, before we
are aware of it, the bond will be fastened upon
us. The emigrants from Missouri are numer-
Gus, and Missouri influence here is not incon-
siderable We therefore must as far as in us
hes, bring counteracting influences to bear. /
lind Anti-Slavery publications rather scarce
here, and would like to use my endeavors to
have the deficiency supplied and having seen
the notice of several new works in the Era, l
would request you to give us list of the vari.
Gus publications adapted to the times, together
with their prices, in the columns of the Era, if
you think proper. F.W.

LOOK OUT FOR INPOSTORS.
OsAwATOMIE, KANSAS TERRITORY,
March 81. 1876


The public is warned not to be deceived by
persons coming from Kansas Territory, and
going about to work upon the charities of the
people, and thus line their own pockets, without
dong any good whatever to the Territory
What is given by the public is used for their
own individual benefit, and spent perhaps to
make grand external show.
Various are the pretexts used by them for
calling on the public for money, some for meet
ing houses, others for getting means to defray
the war expenses in the Territory and get arms
and ammunition to carry on the war &c. Now,
we do hope that those who contribute will be par
ticular in ascertaining, prior to their contribu-
ton, that they are giving to worthy source.
Those who give for meeting house purposes
should only subscribe, and not ytheir subscrip-
ton until they receive from the locality where
the proposed house is to be built, testimonials
from responsible citizens that such house is to
go up, and then keep an exact account of all that
is subscribed and donated in each locality and
report the same to the building committee.

notice paragraph is going the rounds of the
bunker newspapers, stating that Mr.. Hunter,
of Louisiana, had been fined S. ,OO0 and forfeited
six slaves, in consequence of his parting slave
mothers and children, and selling them. Was
this bona tide decision, in accordance with
the Southern slave code, or was it manufactured
tor certain purposes here at the North
SUBSCRIBER.
We have aot seen the decision alluded to,
and the report is questionable. STILL we be-
lieve that in the State of Louisiana there is
law against separating mother from her child
until it is twelve months old. This law, what
ever Its precise terms, is confined to Louisiana.

voted against it.
Mr.. Giddings said it was cheering to his heart
to find friendship displayed by the Democrats
and others for the Republican party.
Mr.. Clingman replied, that he had no friend
ship for that party, but would rather have the
devil as an ally in a good cause (of economy
than none. Laughter.
Mr.. Giddings. Old friends should never be
separated. Renewed merriment.
MIR. Ii. Marshall made few remarks IN reply
to Mr.. Cobb, and concluded by moving to lay
the motion Of Mr.. Thurston on the table; which
question prevailed--yeas 70; nays 90.
The Indian appropriation bill was taken up
in Committee of the Whole on the state Of the
Union, when
Mr.. Stanton, OF Ohio, made speech in vim
dication Of the views entertained by the Repub-
lican party, Of which he is prominent mem
Der. He said that in the ensuing Presidential
contest they will inscribe on their banner the
words, Freedom is national, and Slavery is
Sectional; no more Slave territory; no more
slave States. Union for the sake Of Liberty, and
Liberty for the sake of the Union
When he concluded his remarks, the Com
mittee rose, and the House adjourned.

REPUBLTCANISMA AND RAILROADS
LNIOWA.

FoRr MADISON, Iowa, April 10, 1856.
On the It'll instant, vote was given for the
Republican ticket in this county. We did not
expect to carry our point at this time. We
however resolved, at this election to begin and
draw the lines, rally round our flag, find out
who were with US, and take more efficient meas
ures to organize for the next August and No
vember campaigns. / do not know the amount
of our vote yet, but have ascertained that we
have carried several important townships in
this county. The Americans did not have a
County Convention to nominate candidates.
Some of them, who appeared to favor South
Amercanism and Fillmore & Co., got up a
few township meetings, and at one of them
nominated county ticket. 1t will, am sure,
be far behind our vote, as in some townships
we find their candidates only got nineteen votes,
while ours got sixty-one, and the Democracy
about fifty.six; and this in q township that,
year ago, was American proper by large ma.
iority. In the next township west, viz Marion,
the Americans have disbanded the party. Since
that time, Republican party has been organ
lied there, and the funds the old American par
ty had, it is resolved, by vote, to use in buying
Republican documents for circulation. Our
prospects in the State are very hattering at
present.
The New York Times lately proposed that
funds be raised to aid in building a railroad
through Southern Iosoa TO the Missouri rioer.
If you look at the map of the Western States,
you will see ace hare the best, most southern,
and shortest line. 1t commences on the Mis-
sissippi, on a line with the Northern boundary
of Missouri, thence runs northwest to West
Point, in Lee county, near the centre of the
county, and thence due west to Nebraska city.
The work is surveyed and located to Bloom
field, sixty-seven miles; and the work was pros
ecuted last summer, and will go ahead lively
this season. 1t is fifteen miles north of the
northern boundary of Missouri, far enough to
be safe from aggression, and the East can come
to our city by railroad from Chicago to Gales
burg, in Illinois, leave the Burlington railroad
seven miles east of Burlington, and come south.
