W Dan n rs

Mr.. LARRABEE sent to the Clerks table a copy of
The MiWaukee Free Democrat from which the latter
read the proceedings OF meeting purpoting to be
held by German adopted citizens, III which sympathy
s expressed for John Brown, holding him up noble
hearted and resolue, and fit 10 be held up like other
champions Of Freedom for the imitation Of mankind;
also saying thai adopted citizens are hostile TO Tyranny
Of every Kind including the institution of Slavery.
Mr.. LArrabee remarked that if any of his col
leagues did not recognize that paper Republican, let
lem say 80. AT his request AN editorial was read
from the same paper In spirit with the proceedings OF
the meeting. lie was satisfied that an honorable SEN
RiOr from Wisconsin lDOOltte) mistaken when he
said there was no newspaper IN that State which sup
pOTtedaDd sustained John Browns invasion OF Virginia.
He thought, however, that at the time the fact 10
licb lie had lust referred had not been brought to
MIR DoOtte's attention. He (DarrabeeD needed MOTTO

eitizens of Wsconsn hat such not their opinions
He rad been in the midst of them for fourteen years,
al could say that intelligent, loyal and patriotic
men, not living on the soil OF the Omeo STATES
They were eterny hostile to fanatcsm aud to seuti-
meuts of dsuniOn and war the South He felt 1t to
be bis duty hurl back the accusations against tna
rart of Wisconsin he had the honor TO represent lie
did not expect word TO the gentlemen on tue
other side to lead them 10 change their course but he
wished to appeal to the South Americans ana te Anu
Lecompton Democrats to JON IN preventing the
election of the Republican candidate for Speaker.
lie was an Anti-Lecompton Democrat when thai
was leading issue but when any man takes stand
outside of his party organization, and YET Claiming TO
represent principles he does volenceto the principles
If y.
unanimously took ground against the Lecompton policy
of the Administration, but from the day the Englsh
bill was adopted, they have considered TINS as pSsI
issue and there is now no dlsconnecon between tue
Democrats of that State In view Of the approaching
ntal election Of 1860 they could moi Afford IN
throw away time past issues. When theIe are or
Iors ma6e by party the best way Is not 10 JON tue
Opposition, but 10 stay inside the party ana Inere le'
y6nr voice be heard. lie surprised TO hear gen.
i,emen charging the present Administration WIN cor
rupIion and extravaganza. He thought the President
entitled to AL praise. No man should VISIT MS mere
personal Sights on hs party, because ne might nave

Tley all agree that the Republican party organization

was the very state of things whrh Washington warned
us against il his Farewell Address, great party balt
on geographical line. He thought M Seward re,

best way TO reach it. He never bad any doubt put
that the raid of John Brown WAS the Legitimate euec'
of the teachings of The extreme section OF the kepuo"
. us M the North-the teachings OF The TRIBUNE,
Wendell Phillips and others. He bad heretofore
tboupbi dissolution of the Union impossible, but now
yentured 10 say that If Northern men persist IN ther
course and the South react against the North the dis
solution ofthe UDiOn will not be question OF une
bu, may be here now and the trst overt act may pro-
duCe the calamity. Mr.. Lar abee then reviewed mr.
Seward's irrepfessibe conflict doctr1ns lie never
heard on this hoor or on the stump, Republicans de
norncIng Abolition sentiments Ii appeared 10 him
that the conflict wss not between different kinds OF
labor but between different races OF men. lie did not
