INDIGNATION MEETING.

Our exchanges como laden with the doings Of
Indignation meetings throughout the country
At a late meeting held at Brooklyn, the following
remarks were made which are fair specimens OF
the views entertained by other speakers.
Henry Ward Beecber followed, amid the most
enthusiastic demonstrations of applause. In
the course Of his speech he said that Liberty was
the daughter of Christianity, the fairest fruit of
the tree of Life; that it was as ridiculous to
prepare men for Liberty in Slavery as to teach
them to swim on dry grass. He concluded by an
eloquent eulogy on Sumner and scourging OF
the Government at Washington. Let US remem-
Der, he said, that there is no greater power on
earth than the single, silent, solitary vote. Let
them drop in the ballot-box, soft as snow-fakes,
but let them come out as an avalanche, to over
whelm all that oppose them"
By MIR. j. n. Arnold:
''But few months have passed since the couu-,
try was at peace. The Senator who disgraces
the State of Illinois and represents the slave
rower, has endeavored to force Slavery upon
free soil, but that Territory shall be free by the,
help of God. [Cheers.] Why these outrages?'
What great CRIME have the people committed 2.
Why these refugees fleeing from their homes.
for their lives? These outrages are perpe--
trated under the sanction and authority of the
United States Government. Shame upon such II.
Government! Shame upon the Executive OF
such Government! Shame upon one who sus-
tans such Government ~
Mr.. Briggs Of Ohio, was hoarse with speaking
to the thousands out of doors. MIR. Sumner was.
their Senator in Ohio. Let the lightning fash to.
Ohio any day that men were needed to protect
i'm, and the next evening there would be Buck
ewes enough in Washington to take care of him.
Enthusiastic cheers. ]They had one Senator from
Ohio whom they might have bout with if they
wanted to. Three cheers for Wade South
in nd last
would attack Wade, for it WAS understood that
he carried the documents in his pockets. Loud
applause.l He did carry them there and had
carried them ever since the war began-ever since
the Nebraska bill was passed. [Continued ap
plause.] He had been told that in Richmond,
Brooks had been presented with gold cane
with cracked skull carved ON its head. Let
attack be made on another Senator, and the
North instead Of getting up mass meetings,
would 90 in mass meeting to the South and pro-
claim emancipation. Enthusiastic applause.]
AT a meeting held in Chicago, Mr.. Vaughn,
of the Tribune, said -
g No man can put his ear to the public heart
without hearing it .hrob with a deeper feeling
than ever before; but feeling alone will not
answer-we must work. He had his hand OH
the head of a refugee escaped in disguise from
Kansas-fed for his life. He proceeded to
RACES in Kansas, and inquired what is the reme-
dys Voice-Shoot 'em!"] The Presiden-
tial election is far off. How shall we teach
these ruflians to respect the rights OF freemen?
III tell you, because | know this slave power.
We must meet them precisely our fathers
met tyranny in the olden time [Cheers]. We
must have Free Committee III every State,
we must raise million of money and five
thousand true and brave men,. armed and
equipped for one year and send them to tell
these ruffians, that freenen and their rights
are to be protected
IMPORTANT ARKlvALs.-The Cincinnati corres-
pondent of the New York Tribune annonn-
ces the following among the arrivals ut that
city :
South Carolina Brooks, Capt. Ryndcrs and
Tom Iyer are here.
MUsr STAND FOR OuR RrGHrs.--Air. Pike, of the
n. Y. Tribune, writing from Washington, utters
our sentiments in the following language:
If the Union is to continue, the Northern men
are beaten people sooner or later, unless they
meet the force by which slavery maintains itself,
by force-in word, unless they become fight
ing people on the national arena. The South
already recognizes this fact, but the North does
not 1t must do it, it should do it at once. Every
days failure to do it is day lost. and postpones
the necessary consumnaton, or swells the final
volume of disaster. In this view, the first re-
quisite of every Northern Representative is fight
ing qualities. And no man who is not a pro-
fessed disunionist should permit himself to run
for Congress in the Free States, unless he feels
willing and competent to discharge the brutal
duties which now attach, and properly and fairly
attach, to the station.
SPEECH OF DAvIDR. ArcuIsoN.-The following
speech of the former President of the Uni
ted States, was delivered just previous to the
sacking of Lawrence
g Boys: This day am Kick,poo Ranger, by
God This day we have entered Lawrence with
Southern Rights inscribed on our banner, and
not a damned AbOitionist darei to fire a gun.
Now boys, this is the bappiest day of my ife.-
We have entered that damned town and taught
the AbOlitiOnsts Southern lesson that they
will remember until the day they die. And now
boys, we will go in again with our highly honor
able Jones, and test the strength of that damned
Free State Hotel, and learn the Emigrant Aid
Society that Kansas shall be ours. Boys, ladies'
should, and trust will be respected hy all gen
tlemen. But when a woman takes upon herself
the garb Of soldier by carrying Sharp's rife,
then she is no longer worthy of respect. Tram
pie her under your feet as you would snake.
Now to your duty to yourselves and to yonr
Southern friends. Your duty know you will
do. If one man woman dare to stand before,
you, blow them to he'll with chunk Of cold
lead.''
