The meeting at Asbury Chapel on Tues
day evening, which was addressed by q
Minister of the Society of Friends, was
but slimly attended. owing, probably, to
the outside attractions of the show, and
political preparations.
Those, however, who were present car
testify to the interesting service.
Opening with fervent Thanksgiving and
(appeal;) few minutes of silence ensued
following which was the sermon, deliver

and in manner which evidently impress

The cheering words Of consolation to
those who were discouraged because oil

those Not yet within the 2" Ark Of Safety
were alike impressive, and must have
awakened response in every heart pres

A short silence followed the address
when her companion appeared in an earn.
est supplIcation, after which he made a
few remarks full Of interest, regretting
that. Notwithstanding mis- efforts through
the day, so few were present. He closed
with an appeal for the enlistment Of our
christian sympathy in behalf of the pris-

made very acceptable visit.

o. Mr.. ID. W. Voorhees,, Democratic
candidate for Congress in Western Indi-
ana, is reported to us as having asserted in
public meeting at Sullivan, in that State
that two different editions Of The WEEK
LY TRIBUNE are printed-one for Eastern,
the other for Western circulation-and that
" Helpers Impending Crisis" is common
ded in the former. but not in the latter
We assume that our correspondent is mis-
taken-,hat Mr.. Voorhees, did not assert
what is stated above; but il he did, lac is a
most impudent liar. We print no two
editions Of The Weekly Tribune, but send
exactly the same edition to its Eastern and
TO its Western subscribers. Whoever as
serts the contrary is a calumnidtor and a
kDave.-N. Y. Tribune.
We do not know whether Mr.. VOORHEES,
made the statement above referred to, but
we should not be surprised if he did. We
have never known a public speaker more
reckless in his assertions. Ii he made
the assertion attributed 10 him by the in.
former of the Tribune. we hope some of
our friends in Sullivan will inform us of
it, for we are going to much trouble in our
efforts TO teach him TO tell the truth.

IL The Democracy have been resorting
to the most despicable sxpedents during
this entire canvass to prevent the masses
of their party from hearing Republican
speakers, aud have made il rule all overIths
this State when an appointment is made
by Republicans, or the other wing of the
Democracy, to appoint one at the same
place, or so near as to enable them to keep
the Douglasites from hearing the truth. II
has been the custom of Democrats and Re
publicans to have speaking at night when
they have had a meeting in day time, hence
is struck US as strange TO see Democra tic
appointment at the Court House for Sstur
day night. Had the boot been on the 9th
err foot, we would have heard Democrat
ic howl that would have made the city
tremble. This is perhaps" part Of the
"other means than argument. which their
pet candidate said would have TO be ussd
against the Republicans. But it won't
save the sQuatters.
