REPURLICAN MEETING At MECHAN.
ICSVILLE.

On last Saturday evening one Of the
largest Republican meetings that has
been held in Cedar county during the
present campaign came off at the above
place. Early in the evening the Upton,
Red Oak and Mechanicsvilc Wide
Awakes, numbering about sixty MEM
bcrs, marched through the streets-mak-
ing a very fine appearance-and after
going through various movements pro-
ceeded to the place of meeting, where
stand and seats had been prepared, and
whe the hundreds of live Republicans,
with a large number of ladies', had as
sembled. The meeting was organized by
the election Of DIR. Kennedy, President,
when a song was called for from the
Upton Republican Glee Club, which was
responded to by the Club in a manner
that brought forth the cheers of the as
sembled multitude. j. II. Rothrock,
Esq, of Upton, was then introduced,
who delivered most effective and argu.
meDtative address in favor of the princi-
Piles of Republicanism. lie was followed
by Mr.. Fisher, of Lisbon, in telling
speech, in which the bogus Democracy
and its candidates were handled without
mercy DR.. Hammer, Of Lisbon, was
then called on, who proceeded to dissect
the defunct carcass of Democracy in the
most approved manner. Wells spicer
Esq, of Upton, was then introduced,
who proceeded to the discussion of the
principles of the great political parties
engaged in the present contest in the
most eloquent and mastery nianaer. The
exercises were interspersed throughout
with songs by the Upton Glee Club,
which we're received by rounds Of ap.
plause. At the close three times three
rousing cheers we're given for Lincoln

THAT EXTRACT,

We stated some three weeks ago that
t+,e Cedar Democrat lad agreed to pub
fish an extract from S. A. Douglas
speech of the 10th Of May last, for
which Hon. W. Penn Clarke had agreed
to pay five dollars. Last week the DEM
ocrat contained an extract from Douglas
said speech, but it was not the whole of
the extract read by Mr.. Clarke during
his speech here. Perhaps however it
was all that the De mocrnt agreed to pub
fish. The Democrat after stating the
terms of the contract, says:
If he has any more extracts from
the same source, We will also publish
them on the same terms We are not
afraid to insert any of Judge D's
speeches, and all the capital the Republi-
cans will be able to make out Of the
present extract, won't begin to pay ex-
pcnscs. The people are not such fools
as to read the extract without examining
the whole speech, and thus get the con
nection. Did our space permit we would
publish the speech entire
SO it seems the Democrat is willing to
publish extracts from its candidates
speeches, only on condition that it can
get about twice the price that 1t charges
for advertisements This question nat
uraly arises, Why is it that the Demo,
crat won't publish any part of Douglas
spccchs without it can get paid for it as
for an advertisement Is it because il
is afraid to let its readers see what Doug
las does say 1t says, "The people are
"not such fools as to read the extract
without examining the whole speech
"and thus get the connection" In thi:
it advises its readers not to read the ex
tract, for it refuses to publish the whole
speech so that its readers can get "the
connec'ion' OF course "the people are
not such fools as not to see that the
Democrat dare not give its readers the
rest Of the speech "Did the space OF
"the Dcmocrat permit it to publish the
whole Speech and would it publish
1t, it would take from Douglas 500 votes
in this county, that he may otherwise
get.
In order that our readers may "get
the connection" of that extract we pro.
pose to publish what precedes and what
fellows that extract, and hope our friends
will show it to their Douglas neghbors
If any one doubts the correctness of the
extract, and will call at our Office, We
will show it to him in the published
journal of the Senate, for which the gov.
ernmcnt pays. On the 10th of May last
in the United States Senate, Mr. Doug
las said:
" Now, what has been the result ? NJ,
views were incorporated into the com
promise measures of 1850, and his were
rejected. Has the South been excluded
) from all the territory acquired from
Mexico? What says the bill from the
House of Representatives now on YOU,
table, repeating the slave code in New
Mexico established by the peope them
r selves ?"

would be glad if this were full rec.
ord of the meeting at Mechanicsville, but
such is not the case During the pro-
gress of the meeting more or less disor-
der prevailed among the Democratic por.
tion of the audience, who were stationed
principally on the outskirts, and who
towards the close of the meeting became
so boisterous that several times the
speaker was compelled to stop. When
as last resort, three or four Of the most
disorderly were arrested and conveyed to
the Rice Hotel for safe keeping. These
measures however, necessary as they
were, were resisted by the whole Demo-
cratic force, showing pretty coucIusively
that although but few in this party are
willing to do the dirtiest of the dirty
work Of their party, yet when need be
their party are willing to back them
They succeeded in breaking up the meet
ing, but will the sober, thinking portion
portion of the Democratic party approve
of such a course? Has it come to this
in free Iowa-that freedom Of speech
must be abridged, and by such means !?
We know that in the Southern States
where Democracy reigns supreme, free
dom of speech and freedom of the press
are not enjoyed, but we had supposed
that Iowa was not quite so Democratic
but that We mi ght meet in civil man
ner for the purpose Of free discussion on
any and every political subject.

history while General Jackson was Pres
ident and see how far it agrees with
Mr.. Douglas state nents. +
Prior to the meeting of Congress in
1883, the Legislature of Florida, then a
Territory, h9d passed law taxing slaves
owned by residents more than those
owned by residents and levied tax Of
fifteen dollars on each slave sold belong
ing to non residents, being very fair
instance Of unfriendly legislation Ger
tain citizens of Virginia who owned
slaves in Florida complained Of the laws
of Florida and pctitioned Congress for re-
lief The petition was referred to COM
mittee who being satisfied that the me.
morialists were entitled to relief, report
ed Bill! which passed both Houses of
Congress and was approved by President
jackson en- the 30th June, 1884. The
law is as follows:
BE 1t enacted by the Senate and House
Of Representatives IF tie United States
Of America Ia Congress assembled, That
all such acts and parts of acts passed by
the legislative council of the Territory of
Florida as may impose higher or great
er tax on the staces or other property of
nonresident citizens than is imposed on
the slaves or other property CT resident
citizens be, and the me are hereby, re.
pealed and declared null and void.
Sec. =. And be It further enacted, That
if any persoH shall attempt to CT force
any of the Acts or parts of Acts passed
by the legislative council of the Terrific
ry of Florida, as aforesaid, by demanding
or receiving any tax, imposition or as
sessment authorized or prescribed there
by, such person shall, on conricfion there
Of, he punished by fine not exceeding tgo
hundred dollars, or by imprisonment not
rrceedtny SIC months, or either or 10th Of
said puntshments"
So it seems that Congress has passed
part Of criminal code, at least, for
Territory, and it seems too that Congress
did legi>ate for the Territories and re-
vised the Territorial laws, while Jackson
was President. 1t may be said by the
Doug las men, that the Territorial Lcgis-
lature had no right to pass such a law,
but Mey claim that a Trritory has the
same ri sht to regulate its domestic insti- /
tutons that a State has, and certainly a
State has the power to pass such law
unless it is prohibited in the State con-
,titution or in the Congressional Act of
admission. Such clause is in the Act
or the admission of Iowa, and its pres
nee there proves that had it not been
here the State would have had the pow
n to pass such law. The squatter SOW
ercigus must admit that General jackson
stands on the record in opposition to ,
their dogma. Mr.. Douglas will call in
vain upon Gen. Jackson or any other of
the Democratic fathers to sustain him in
his present time of need The facts REFER /
ed to in the foregoing are taken from an
editorial in the Louisville Courier.

FAIRBANKS SCALEs.-A new scale
for weighing stock before loading in cars,
has lately been put up, We notice, Il the
Cattle Yards Of the Pittshurg and Fort
Wayne Railroad in this city. with plat
form some thirty fee, or more in E. 9TH,
and of a width sufficient for wc;gh,n. q
full car load at once. This must be
very convenient and economical arrange
ment where large quantities of stock, as
here, are to be weighed fer shipping.
The scale bears the name of " Fair
banks',' which has long been familiar
wherever scales are used, and lis always
the highest guaranty for excellence. 1t
seems to be so constructed in all its parts
as to combine the greatest possible
strength, accuracy and durability, and
has shallow pit: as have varioas ether
notifications of Fairbanks large scales,
many Of these requiring only twelve inch
es Of extreme depth, which adapts them
to locations where greater depth would
be an objection.

We totice in the last Democrat long
article purporting to give extracts from :
speech Of J. NJ. Wilson, Republican con-
tingent elcctor in Mass. The whole
thing is a Democratic roorback. The
article was published in Democratic pa
pers before the Republican ticket was
nominated. so il is false from the begin
ming. There is no such man running for
such an Office in Mass. tits designed to
deceive foreign born citizens. A remark
attributed to Col. Curtin, is of the same
kind, false. 1t is sufficient refutation to
such charges to refer to the fact that our

LINCOLN AND THE MExICAN WAR.

Soon after Mr. Lincoln was nominated
for President, it was charged that he
voted against supplies for our army in
Mexico. This charge was disproved at
the time, and we had supposed that it
was dropped, and SO it was by all bnt the
Cedar County Douslasite stumpers, who
we understand are retailing the charge to
their astonished hearers. At Ottawa, in
1853, during the first discussion between
Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Douglas, Mr.. Lin
coin, in his reply, sa d.:
Now | pass on to consider one or two
more of these little follies. The Judge
is wofully at fault about his early friend
Lincoln being "grocery-keeper." |
dom know as it would be a great sin, if
| had been: but he is mistaken Lincoln
never kept grocery anywhere in the
world 1t is true that Lincoln did work
the latter part of one winter in a little
still house, up at the head of hollow
And SO | think my friend, the Judge, is
equally at fault when he changes me at
the time when was in Congress of hay-
ing opposed our soldiers who were fight
ing in the Mexican war, The Judge
did not make his charge very distinctly,
but | can tell you what he can prove, by
referring to the record You remember
| was an old Wing, and whenever the
Democratic party tried to get me to vote
that the war had been righteously begun
by the President, would not do it. But
whenever they asked for any money, OF
land warrants, or anything to pay the
soldiers here, during all that time, gave
the same vote that Jud &c Douglas did
You can think as you please as to wheth.
err that was consistent. Such is the
truth and the Judge has the right tc
make all he can out Of it. But when he
by a general charge, conveys the idea tina,
withheld supplies from the soldiers VIII,
were fighting in the Mexican war, or die
anything else to hinder the soldiers. h,
is, to say the least, grossly AM altogether
mistaken, as a consultation of the record
will prove to him
This is what Mr.. Lincoln says, but W
have other proof that perhaps will sui
the Douglas men better. During tn
discussion at Alton, Mr.. Douglas, re
ferrng to Mr.. Lincoln's denial Of tn
charge, said:
never charged him with votin
against the supplies in my life, because
knew that he was not in Congress whe
they were voted The war was common
ced an the 18th day of May, 1916, an
on that day we appropriated in Congress
ten millions of dollars and fifty thousan
men to prosecute it. During the sam
session we voted more men and NOR
money, and at the next session we vote,
more men and more money, so that by tn
time Mr.. Lincoln entered Congress "
had enough men and enough money t
carry on the war, and had no occasion t
vote for any more
+ This, from Mr.. Douglas, ought to clos
the mouth of his friends, and will if the
desire to be truthful.
