Biddeford Republican Caucus.

The caucus Of the Republicans Of Bid.
deford, held on Wednesday evening, a,
Beethoven Hall, was in point Of numbers,
and in spirit, very much like some Of the
political meetings held in our city last
year. Before the hour appointed for the
meeting had arrived. the body of the hall
was nearly filed with earnest, true hearted,
natire-born, American Republicans, com.
prising altogether the real intelligence
andmuscle Of our community. The seats
were not filed with recruits from the Ii.
quor shops, fancy saloons, and foreign
quarters of our city, but were occupied
by intelligent mechanics, business men,
and those who feel that free labor is hon.
orable, and that efforts to maintain that
system which makes it such, is tho duty
Of all NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. country. There
had been no studied effort to get out a
large meeting, and on this account it was
the more gratifying, as it indicated that
the republicans of Biddeford, on Monday
next, mean to be successful, and to make
their City speak, as she did so gloriously
last September, in favor Of republican
principles, and against such Infamous doc
trines as have been promulgated by the
Black, Slavery-loving Democracy.
The meeting was called to order by
Daniel Stimson, Esq and on his motion,
Thomas II. Cole, Esq, was made chair
man. Henry C.Goodenow, Esq-was chosen
Secretary. The meeting being organized,
a committee consisting Of w. II. Hanson,
John I. French, and John II. Allen, were
appointed to receive the ballots for can
didatc for representative to the State
and the Committee subse-
quently reported,

want Of openncss and candor. Wequotc

speaking Of sending an army to Kan

This assertion with regard to "por-
ton Of the people" Of Kansas, is so noto-
riously untrue that not an intelligent man
in the country, who gives the matter q
moments serious consideration, will abide
by It. "Unwilling TO trust to the ballot
box" Why, it is precisely because they
have not been allowed to use the ballot
box, that all the difficulties in that Terri
ritory have sprungup. The free, unin-
terrupted use Of the ballot-box is all the
people have ever claimed. Let us vote

ever is recognized to be property by a
common constitution" and in making this
assertion Substantially enunciating the idea,
that the States have no right to declare
BY their local laws, that man cannot hold
property in man, and as necessary de-
duction from this doctrine, men and wom-
en- can be held as slaves in the free states,
can be bought and sold in their markets,

fields and workshops. Ifslaves arc property

an assertsand property only because made
so by municipal law, as was asserted by
Mr.. Clay, and as understood by the fra
mes Of the government, then the idea
Of free States is q fallacy. If there is
property under the Constitution, that
property is the subject Of protection, and
its owner must have the right to enjoy
it, no matter where it is and the State
cannot, without infringing the constitu-
ton Of the federal government, deprive
the owners Of their rights in it. Such is
the legitimate inference Of the doctrine
asserted by Mr.. Buchanan, and the bold
ness in which it is cnunciatcd, gives great
reason for the belief entertained by some,
that he has been appriIed, in advance Of
