REPUBLICAN, Meeting.

In consequence of prior engagem ents we were
not present at the Republican meeting, held at
the Court House on Friday evening last. We
learn the meeting WAS attended by some of the
most reliable and substantial members of the par
ty, and that determination was evinced to pre-
pare for vigorous action to meet the great issues
before the country. There never has been time
in the history of our country when so much or
disunion sentiment has been uttered by potical
leaders and by the press as during the past two
months. The Democratic party in power not
satisfied with declaring its determination to car
ry the bighting curse of slavery into all the Ter
ritores Of the Union, also seek TO strike down
the liberty of the press and the freedom of speech
In the States Of the North. Every man who val
ues the free institutions bequeathed 10 us by our
revolutionary fOrefathers, is called upon to take
bold stand, to repress the encroachments upop
the liberties of the people. The slave. drivers
and their dough faced northern allies, are stri
wing for one great end, viz: the supremacy of
slavery, and the subjugation of the free states to
the acknowledgement of its nationality Free
dom, is not to be allowed to claim natural and
Inherent rights it is to be made dependent on
such immunities as State or national legislation
sees fit to give it.

hminary organization, with the view to a more
