The Republican meeting ut the Theater last evening
was the best of the campaign. The spacious building
was filed from "pt to dome," by an intelligent and
very attentive audience who manifested frequent and
hearty applause as by one posi- ions of mpregnabs
strength assumed by the speaker, Gov Chase of
Ohio in favor of Republican doctrines, and as also one
by one all the cherished ideas and doctrines Of the Fu
sonists were 80 swept away by f,cts arguments and
historical truth sc TO leave "not wreck behind"
There could not have been less than 800 persons in
the Theater, and many went away unable to get in.
Gov. Chase arrived in town yesterday afternoon,

The Governor was escorted TO the theasr at about

Ohio as of the foremost advocates Of tru3 Demo
cratic principles in the land. The introduction was
very gracefully DONE
The Governor was received with cheers. Without
any preliminary remarks the speaker at once took up
the srgument of the evening ard proceeded 10 demon
ststs the propositions that the agat on, which Mr..
Dougae 30 much regretted was approaching lts hnal-
y and that not the sgtation for Freedom which
prevented The cspat Of important public business by
Congress but the agitation for Slavery which retard ID
the passage OF all those Just liberal snd benefeeDt laws
which the people demand and which tie Republican
party sought 10 out. The policy puIsued by that
party 10 t1e a Congress was eminendy wise and
moderate Without majority in the House, it had by
liz moderation copeiatory course, been enabled 70
elect Speaker of the House Of its faith and 10
carry on the public busnf with honor and credit 10

erUor saio that there three important measures
before the Last CoBgTees which, being passed by tho
House. "sgtaiipg' for Freedom were rieeted or lost
or iguored in the Senste, aQtaiiug To- Slavery.
The first was the Homestead bill. The old policy of
the Government was TO se the lands Of the Territories
of the great West spectators and to deprive the
,ual settler Of the right OF locating them without
st purchasing the land OF the Spectator at eXorbant
ratea. This the policy Of the Democratic party The
Republican party did not bsleye that this was right
lust either to the Ter tory itself 10 the settler who
went here and sou0hi 10 develop tho bcunes Of
ture by the sweat Of his brow" Ohio which
formerly West, WIS no longer 80. IL had become
of TIE Eastern Staes by the tides of progress and
sweep OF empire, and had interest in liberal
Homettead policy than New FORK had; for every far

BILL giving the actual settler 100 acres of land. The
Republicans, although without majority in that body
were able by their moderation and rmness, we'll 10
by the intrinsic merit of the bill ITSELF carry the
measure through the House, by tie aid of
some Democrats and Americana, just az they
had been allie TO elect Speaker. Tie bill
