he went out said " It's in me, and Cd d-n me, it
shall come out of me-" Mr. Richards gave cheering
accounts of the prospect in Pennsy lyanla. Judge

publican rarity there very much. He could not see
how tie Republican party could lose the State of Penn

fellow. citizens, safely and surely onward into the
still waters Of rational prosperity and peace. MIR.
Curtis gave tref but graphic pictures OF the Candidates
which were eheered to the echo. He said it was the
question OF free labor, which the grand principle

preachpgs Of ths Aboitionists for those were
convinced for thsn ~ years without any such re-
eults The Republican party existed because the peo-
ple Of the North did whether Slavery was voted
up or voted down. Aud caring for this, they would
vote down the man who said that he did not care. Mr.
Curtis osed the miserable sophstry OF Douglas that

the South SIS well as the North, while Republicans
could not be heard in the South MIR. Curtis closed
with go wing description Of the response which the
country State after State, was giving tc the great
