Der and deposite the name OF Alfred Z
Edgerton, He charged these things home
upon Mr.. Edgerton, and would prove every
word to be true by the afidavits of highly
intelligent and respectable democrats.
The speaker then alluded to Jim. Seadman
and said that he was the worst enemy the
democracy of North Western Ohio had ever
had. If he could not drive men in the party
he would drive them out OF it. He exposed
the corruptions of Steadman and Edgerton in
a manner that was not only truthful, but the
cheering of the democrats indicated that they
united with him in condeming those political
renegades. We cannot follow the eloqut mt
speaker through this part Of the subject,
He concluded with powerful appeal to bis
democratic friends 10 vote against the extern
sion Of slavery, and said that while the dem
ocrats claimed that they were opposed to its
extension, the acts of the leaders put
the lie to their assertions. Had they not
declared. by their refusal to vote for the army
appropriation bill, with proviso that none
of the money thus appropriated should be
used to enforce the barbarous and damnable
laws of Kansas, that rather than fail TO ac-
complish this they would shatter the govern
ment into fragments? He referred to the
statement of Toombs that the day would
come when he could call the roll of his slaves
at the foot of Bunker Hill Monument, and
said that he feared such would be the case
The Supreme Court of the United States has
decided, with but three dissenting opinions,
that STAKEHOLDER has right TO hold his chat
property, or slaves, and transport them thro'
the free states, thus multiplying the organic law
of the states which declares that slavery and
involuntary servitude shall not xist otherwise
than for the punishment of crime.
The speaker then alluded to the fact that
old Wings, the very antipodes of democracy,
were now stumpng for Buchanan, and that
those who once professed a holy horror for
Know Nothings, were now declaring that
they would rather see Fillmore elected than
Fremont. Why is this? Has Fremont not
always been a democrat ? Is he not now a
democrat What principle has he deserted ?
az Oh but he is supported by R, ,publicans"
All ! but do you not boast that Buchanan is
supported by Wings?
Judge Palmer then paid merited trib-
ute to the genius and worth of Fremont, and
eloquently alluded to his achievements in sci
ence, to his superior Judgment, bravery, and
skill in securing California to the United States
but few days previous to the arrival of the
British fleet to complete negotiations with tie
Captain General, and alluded most eloquent
ly to the fact that the golden state was now
free from slavery through the efforts of Ere.
mont. He admired Mr.. Buchanan-he was
great man-but many Of his acts he could
not subscribe to. He had not said he would
not. He had not said whether he would or
would not vote for Fremont. He was now
examining the evidence, and if he found that
Buchanan's election would promote the extern
sion of slavery, he could not vote for him.
His speech was heartily cheered through
out, and was concluded amid deafening ap-
plause from the large audience. He touched
responsive chord in every breast, and when
the meeting adjourned with three cheers for
Fremont and Dayton, and three cheers for
Judge Palmer, the walls of the court house
trembled from bottom to top, and the min
ions Of the administration shook like aspen
leaves. ~
