The citizens Of Erie County opposed to the Lee
compton policy of the pfese1t Federal Adminstra-
ton teld very large meeting at Buffalo lastThurs-
day night, ard unanimously resolved that they
would act and vote together in our approaching
State E'ectica. They gave ample aud conclusive
reasons for this resolve, which We're printed in
most of cur edition of Friday. The officers of and
speakers ct this meeting include eminent and stead
fast Den,' crate with .qusily prominent and cspa-
bic Wings Of former years, half Of whom supported
Fremont al d the residue Fillmore in IS, but aOt
one Of whom any reason in that bygone differ
ence for quarIelDg 10 1853. and thus allowing their
County Ia be represented in the ne1t Congress and
Legislature by persOns of the CALDER and quality OF
Hatch and Lsning through whose fundamentally
the weight of that great, Intelligent constituency
hiss been thrown into the scale Of Lecomptonlsm,
both at Warrington ard Albany. Can there be any
rational doubt that their coDc!usiOn--to which We
believe there is not auti-LecOmpton dlssenter
Of any party u the COunty-is wise ard patriotic
Their decision, of course, was made for them
selves only but ts reasons and Qualifications appeal
TO us all. Ii the policy they indicate is the right
che in Erie, it is right also in New York City, in
Kings in Ulster in Albany Nay: it is inds pensably
| nect sss1y that the movement thus i0augurated
shall be genera al in order TO be efiectise. Ia the
present House the Lecompton policy Of Buchanan
has bad DO more unscrupuous, uuhesitatiDg
supporters than eleven Members from this State,
| only two If whom (Sickles and Kelly received the
| votes Of half their constituents. The other nine
ran in between their Republican aud American
| competitors. no one Of whom could have been
induced to support the Lecompton feaud. BY the
votes Of these uine, thus elected through their
adyer.sies divisions, the Country was very nesry
plugged ipto civil val by the forcing of detsstei

the votes of those uiue, the English ugge has been
