MessrS. Editors:-The call ANNOUNCE
ing a Republican meeting at this place
on the Goth inst, was responded TO by
a respectable number of our citizens
William Clingan, Esq, was called to the
chair. The opening address was made
by II. L. Burnett, Esq, who in a spirit
ed and impressive manner sketched the
rapid lapse of of the Democratic Party
from the Anti Slavery principles of its
founders, TO its present Pro Slavery po-
sition. Mr.. Burnett was followed by J
d. Cox, Esq, who in a brief but very
candid, lucid and conclusive, manner,
showed the inconsistency and glaring
untrulh of the standard bearers of the
Democratic party, in charging the
treasury defalcations upon the Republi-
can party. He also showed that the
Democratic party had deserted ali the
landmarks upon the slavery question,
and hat the party was now completely
under the influence Of a slaveholding
Oligarchy, determined to sacrifice free
labor and n~ationalize slavery.
A Committee appointed by the chair
reported the following Republicans 10
serve as a committee of vigilance in
their respective districts, to see that all
Republicans voters were rallied to the
Polls on election day. R. II. Jewell,
Aaron Smith, Seth Chrisfy, Hugh Beach
John Eyster, William Clingan and Tho.
Mathers.
Mr.. Cox informed us that certain
county leaders and lights in the Demo-
cratic party, who at first avowed hostili-
ty 10 the fugitive slave law, Missouri
compromise repeal, &c, were now laud-
ing the same as Dem ocratic measures.
One or both of the speakers likewise al
luded to the former view Of Judge Ran
ney, as coinciding with the present
principles of the Republican party upon
the slavery question, but did not tell us
where the Judge stands now. We all
know that the Douglas cracy distrust
him.
Can you, Messrs. Editors, inform your
readers as TO the present whereabouts of
Judge R? do you think he "pities, or
has he embraced" the idol Slavery?
MABEL YAUGHN.-This is a new
book just published by John P. Jewett &
Co. Cleveland. 1t is the second from
the pen of Miss. Cummins. Her first,
the Lamp-lighter, met with a success
which was almost unparalleled in the his
tory OF American novels. To those who
read that book it will be only necessary
TO say that Mabel Vaughn and is by
the same author.
Until human nature is changed it will
be in vain 10 attempt to utterly exclude
works of fiction, we are not of those who
would do it if it were possible and for
that reason, we give a friendly greeting 10
such as have none but good moral and
religious tendencies. Of such, we be-
is Mabel Vaughn. 1t is a tale OF
the affections, showing some of the
snares and pitfalls which beset the path
of the young in this age and country, in
and out of the cities.
Its characters are well drawn, some of
them exceedingly SO. The pure child
ish faith, the self devotion of Rose Hope,
the cold, selfish, glittering, and courily
Lincoln Dudley, the good Mrs. Herbert
the kind hearted but hayward Harry
Vaughn, the shallow, fashionable, Mrs.
Leroy, Mrs. and Miss. Vannecke, the
Aunt Sabiah, the noble Bayard,
and last, but not least, Mabel Vaughn,
are all well depicted. The book will be
successful, and not disappoint Thereafter.
