many lToAl utAleA Pulta VI lhp Guy ahaellpA
at the Wigwam on scovin street, Saturday
evening, TO unite in mutual congratulations,
and listen TO the speeches Of the gentlemen
who had been appointed to address them
there. At an early hour the Wigwam was
full, and the very best Of feeling prevailed.
Air. Clark called the meeting to order, and
introduced Wm. slade, Esq, as the first
speaker. Mr.. slade said he had not been
we'll for some days, and he had not come
here 10 speak, out he could not reject the in
vitation to say something to the people Of
the Sixth Ward. They had borne them
selves nobly whenever called upon TO vindi-
cate Republican principles, and he appealed
to them to sustain their pre-eminent position
on Tuesday next. Mr.. siade adverted brief
ly to the principles and measures of the Re
publican party, showing in what respect
they appealed to the sympathy and de-
served the support Of every voter. In rela-
tiOn to the tariff, he regarded it as one Of
the most important questions ever presented
for the consideration of the people. Every
mechanic, every working man, whatever his
vocation, has an interest in it. He pre-
sented statistics to show the immense
amount of money we throw into the hands
Of European capitalists, all or the greater
portion Of which might, and should be re-
tanned in our own country, and be distrib-
uted among the working classes. He spoke
of the Fusionists in New York, and con
demned in strong terms the reign of terror
they were seeking to inaugurate. But he
had no fear for the result in New York
Though New York city should give 1000
against the Republicans, land the Plain Deal
er says it win) the rural districts, where
the virtue and intelligence of the people are
to be found, will redeem the State. Mr..
slade's speech was foreible, and elected
much applause.
Mr.. Jacob Schroeder was next introduced,
who briefly addressed the Germans present,
his remarks being very we'll received.
The Lincoln Glee Club followed in an ami
mating song, entitled "Ho Ye Men of
Every Station" and were enthusiastically
encored
Hon. R. F. Paine next addressed the meet
ing. He said the time had arrived to act
We have talked and thought long enough.
He did not believe there was Republican
in the Sixth Ward, or anywhere else, who
was worthy to be called Republican, but
felt perfectly satisfied that he was doing
right in supporting Republican principles.
The Democratic party, he said, had cor
rupted every branch of our government, and
he not only wanted to see them whipped,
but he wanted to see them receive Water
loo defeat-to see them 50 completely
crushed out that we shall hear no more Of
them till the day of final judgment. He
appealed to a certain class of the Demo.
cratic party not TO be deceived by party
name. The Democratic party is slave
party it wars against free labor. It is
seeking to impose upon US despotism ten
fold more horrible than that which Garibaldi
is resisting in Italy to-day, by denying to us
the right to give utterance to our sentiments,
and Of expressing our preference for the
men who shall represent US. The South
talk Of dissolving the Union, but the slave
holding portion of the South can no more
exist without the support of the North, than
can the paupers in our poor-houses without
the support of the county. Let US 20 tc
the ballo.-box and elect Abe Lincoln, and
the higher we pile up the vote for him OIL
Tuesday, the less we shall hear of disunio1
on Wednesday morning.
The speech of Mr.. Paine was received
with the heartiest manifestations of applaus,
throughout, and at the conclusion three
cheers were proposed and given with will
e The Glee Club then stepped forward anc
D sang another admirable song.
, s. o. GriswOld, Esq, next took the stand
!, He occupied the meeting but few mo
b ments. He said it is the duty of every Re
t publican to work earnestly. If this is don
= we shall have victory that is worth having
= The election of Lincoln will have the effec
= to enable every man to give utterance to hi
sentiments.
Judge Tilden was next introduced II
said he had hoped to escape making
speech, but since he had witnessed the en-
thusiasm and general good feeling whicl
:, prevailed, he felt like testifying his devo
ton to the cause. As far as the election
of Mr.. Lincoln is concerned, he considers
! that certain. But this was not all he want
4 ed. He wanted to see the people repudiat
the Democratic party by such an overwhel
! ming vote as shall crush it for all time. Tn
fusion in New York was the only hope of th
Democratic party. But the party is dead
and only wants knocking over to complet
the ruin. He believed the Republicans
New York would rise in their might an
; crush out this hydra-headed creature. Il
, admonished every man who now.intended t
vote for Mr.. Douglas to think carefully o
= the matter. It is conceded by the homes
. portion of Mr.. Douglas supporters that h
has no chance whatever; therefore every vot
cast for Mr.. Douglas as against Mr.. Lincol
is one vote for Mr., Breckinridge, who is th
enemyof free labor, and the leader of th
party which would crush out free speech, an
Il deny you the prerOgative of casting you
votes according to the dictates of right an
- duty. What honest man can pause for
d moment in deciding his preference betwee
lie Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Breokinridge9 L.
/ every son of toll, every man who earns hi
Of bread By the sweat of his brow, think ear
ct nestly Of this matter, ,aad confer with his vii
sr and children as to his duty on Tuesday mex
Is The speech OF Mr.. 'rilden was frequently in
Ig terrupted by applause.
l. The Chairman, in conclusion, urged tbs
! every Republican act as a Vigilance Com
re mittee on Tuesday, and he promised that
all were faithful to their duty the majority
10 27s given for the State ticket would be il
rc creased to $40 for Lincoln and Hamlin.
The exercises at the Wigwam were cor
b. cluded by another song from the Glee clul
"The Five Candidates" !" which was enthus
p astically received.
