be really what it professes, should denounee those
Who mediate and threaten Disuniou rather than
those who insist that the Union shah stand which

Election
. Tie call Of the Union MEETING was published
in advance Of our structures, and that call ex'
pressly precludes, and The Journal Of CommeTes
,a,s was intended to preclude, any participation
in the meeting by Republicans. Just consider the

This csn plainly ignores aud excludes al who

these gentlemen represent the Union as among our
chief earthl, blessings, aud Slavery as one OF its
Issd;ue suprorfs the Inference is inevitable that
they would regard even the peaceful voluntary Abo-
Etjon of Slavery in the South as pubic calamity
TLey surely could not have expected nor desired
Repubcan 10 assent to that Then they guilty
of eowardly snesking misrepresentation OF GoV.
Seward. who affirmed an 'irrepresslole conflict
between Liberty and Slavery-between Free LABOR
md Slave Labnr-but never between the North and
the South. TIE pledge to dlscountenance and
oppose scctiordtisH IN all its forms" covers an
other base Misrepresentation. The Republican party
is here aimed at, though il is the only party that
rpudat,s all sectional aims and notions, and plants
t.el(on the broad platform Of Eternal Righteousness,
regarding Free Labor with fair recOmpense therefor
as best for North aud for South for the growers OF
Cotton or Tobacco and the growers of Corn or
Potatoes The Republican party alone proposes 10
make Freedom and Justice for the humblesta as we'll
as tie highest tho law Of all the Federal Terrific
whether NUIIl OF Nbhlu VI huS'
1t Sham Democracy that would persuade laborers
of one section, one color that their oerest Is sub
served, their dignity enhanced, by having the
aborers of another section, another color sold at
the auction-block ike hogs or cattle. In fact, the
meeting tonight at the Academy OF Music is
Thoroughly Pro-Slavey enterprise, and all the more
Objectionable that it seeks to hide It's character
under eqiyocarions and slanderOus nnuendoes.
That it was not necessary to give 1t such charac-
ter in order to achieve its ostensible ends, We
prove =; c::;- :: 20 10 ea,i Tor Union Meeting at

There is q call which Republicans might sign
without stultfying themselves, and which thousands
Of Republicans, doubtless, would have signed hadit
been put forth in this City But they not wanted
at to-niehts meeting save as penitents or rene
cades from their party; hence the terms of the
call adopted.
3. The Times asserts that the circulation of THE
WEEKLY TRIBUNE is l30,000-which, We beg
leave to assure it, is at least 80, 900 short of the
truth. Ii insiDuates that we have gained this cir
culation By selling Anti Slavery diatrbes TO the
North and West" Our cotemporary seems to
labor under rueful consciousness that has success
in "sellBg Ant-SlayeTy diatIibes' has been sadly
Inferior TO ours; so be has been casting about for
something that irould sell, ard of late rather in
clmes with occasional fits of vascillation to Doug
lassm, Taumapy Democracy and UniOn-sayiug
He is at perfect liberty to Try this tack SO long as
II suits him, then take another But We beg leave
10 suggest 10 him that one element Of success IN
any undertaking is eGrHestnesS. TIE TRIBUNE was
Anti Slavery when 20 be so exposed 1t to very
general hostility and Odium; it has done its part
toward creating that healthier and nobler public
sentiment which renders it possible to publish an
Anti-Slayery Journal without invoking ruin. Had
our eghbOr cherished an abiding faith in the ulti
mate and certain triumph of the Right-had he
been able 70 hold on an upr ght, manly course, re-
gardltss Of lis local unpOPnlarity and immediate
cost-he, too might have had Country circulation
OF some account, and migot have alnded 70 ours
les eDyiously, and by way not of contrast but of
comparison.
