ORR Wines or New YoRx CIrY.-We learn
that goodly number Of wellknown and inf1u-
ential citizens who have not hitherto acted with
the Republican party, but who believe that the
peace, dignity, tranquility and prosperity Of the
country will be promoted BY the election OF Lin
coin and Hamlin, are preparing 10 hold City
Meeting to respond to and ratify their noninar
tod. Most Of them are Clay Wings OF other
days, who supported Mr.. Fillmore in 80. partly
from State pride and personal regard, but in part
also because he was the only candidate in nom-
nation for President who had shared 10 their
previous struggles or who was deemed By them
sound in his views with regard 70 the internal
policy and legislative needs Of the country. Be-
iieving Mr.. Lincoln to be substantially with
| them on these important topics, they have re-
solved to be with him, and to swell BY their num-
bers the invincible host that II mastering to
march to victory under his banner. They will
invite speakers from different parts Of tile coun-
try, and appeal TO al who believe there h need
| Of reform ut Washington to cooperate with
them. Their meeting will doubtless be . large

SQuArTER SOVEREIGNTY AND SLAvERY.-It il
part Of the history Of the country that under this
doctrine Of non-interventon, this doctrine that
you delight to call Squatter Sovereignty, the
people OF New Mexico have introduced and pro-
tected slavery in the whole Of that Territory
Under this doctrine, they have converted tract
Of free Territory into slave Territory, more than
five times the size of the State Of New York
Under this doctrine, slavery has been extended
from the Rio Grande to the Gulf Of California,
and from the line OF the Republic OF Mexico, not
only mp TO SO deg. so min. but mp 10 3S deg
GIVING YoU DEGREE AND HALF MORE SLAVE
TERRITORY THAN You EVER CLAIMED. In lStS aud
1886 and 1880 you only asked to have the line
Of s6 deg 80 min. The Nashville Convention
fixed that ~ it's ultimatnm. offered it In the
Senate in August, lS46, and il wss adopted here
but rejected in the House Of Representatives
Yon asked only up TO SO deg. 80 min., and NON.
INTERVENTION HAS GIVEN yoU SLAVE fERRlroRY up
to SO deg DEGREE ANDiA HALF MORE
THAN You ASKED; and yet you say that THU
is sacrifice OF Southern rights.-Doug!as',
