Repubiican chm.
he Republican Club held ito usual meet
Ing on Friday evening, with fair attend
ancs Of live Republicans, which, however,
would have doubtless been doubled IL it had
been possible to give earlier notice Of the en-
ercisss Of the evening.
These were opened by speech from Sam
uel r. Miller, ESQ.,, in bis usually coTently
argumentative and forcible style. 1t vas
direct appeal TO the reason and understand
ing not to be gainsayed or resisted. III any
DsnosrAss we're present, they could not fail
TO have heard him with respect and thought
ful attention.
At the conclusion of Mr...Miller's speech
there WAS . unanimous call for Infersol
better known, perhaps, throughou. the
State ~ "Linkensals," the admirable CORES
pondsnf Of the Hovkeye. or course the
aushor Of sueh letters couldn't make poor
speech, and il 10 scarcely necessary 10 say
that the droll humor of bis letters went
rollicking throughout bis hours talk, form
Ing vary pleasant accompaniment to its
passages OF earnest pashos or stern invective.
1t 10 to be regretted that his audience was
not larger. May ws not hope to have him
among ~ again, with such timely notice Of
HE coming that our citizens may turn on.

The Way greeley Kailcd Douglas.
''0id White CoAt'' 10 a long headed old
fellow, snd generally does up thipgs 10 HE
own way even At ths risk Of selling Repab-
loan occasionally. Now, Greeley was once
for Douglas, fought for Douglas, worked
hard Dosglas, but Was sold by Douglas,
and was determined to have his revenge ia
bis own way.
Well, he took notion for little tramp AZ
an cold stager" sometimes does, and when
in Iowa he had = vision and made proph-
esy, in words - followa:
81 predict that Stephen A. Douglas will
be nominated for President at Charleston
next April, and that most OF the slave States
will give him their electoral votes. Let
these foreshadowings be noted and compared
with the result"
This was to tho Northern Democrats like
balm poured into the soul. "Greeley was
honest"-he did not want TO deceive any one
lit MA fair acknowledgment BY an hon.
orable opponent. Douglas would be noni-
mated. a
We could see sly wink in The Old Ssaeer's
left eye. His work WA donc-the bait had
taken. lie knew that although his predic-
ton wAb balm to the North, il was the strall
Of bitterness" to tho South. lie knew the
South hated him worse than thew do the devil
and - they were aware that he was for
Douglas, they would be against Douglas.
We have ely notion that ecmebody was
sold, but tho Democrats have the consolation
to know that they for onoe agreed with Gree
ley, but now they look AZ though they smelt
ratsl Ircquos Rspnb
