The Central Republican Club met at room No. "a,
Cooper In.titute, last evening, Dr. Kennedy IN the
chrir TIE meeting largely attended, and the fol-
lowing resolution, laid oser from lstweek, was corsid-
Rsrsd That The aud quickest way end the rebellion
ard esh Lb remsGsHt IsOee Is 70 declare ea'l'e a.
Mr.. Riddle tho fret speaker, opposed the adoption
of the resolution. lie believed there could be no
peace except in the preservation Of the Union. Our
safety was In getting the Union sentiment OF the
South in active corporation The South, driven 10
unite aganst us by proclamation OF emanc cpI,i0n,
could never be conquered. Their determined split
was shown in the expression thoy had made use OF,
"thal if their mothers were Northern women, they
would delight TO tramIle IN their blood Emandpa-
ton must reeds come bat there was 40 occasion for
burrying Providence.
Mr. Robert Shannon thought the resolution was
iust and right and TO the purpose. lie was for ini-
mediate unconditional emanc oation Slavery by the
South had been made TO the Constitution Tue
Union, and the peace Of the country. III we would
get rid OF our troubles must get rid OF the caufe.
mr. r. NJ. Poor took the Conservative side. II wis
question of expedency. The AboIitionists called
expedency eowardice, ana it waz cowsrdice, but AZ
the sane time necessary To try TO oyerturn tho inst
tuition by any sudden shock would involve war OF
races and up society by the roots lion brought
up milk might be gentle enough TO lie down with
the lamb, but let that lion once lap blood and il will
ls IS furious as eyern was in lis native wild. SO
with the slave when ho gets a taste OF freedom.
Mr. s. Tousey said thRt No Slavery the cauae Of
the rebellion, Of il she removed che
olee would cease; be was therefore IN favor OF TIE
resolution. IT. the Anti-Emaneipationisi held,
tho slaves ii set free should prove idle, shiflless,
non-produeiug class, q field would be open for free
labor lie was therefore III favor OF tue resoution n
the Republican party did not adopt the phn OF emanei-
patton, the Democratic party wouli be wonld fore
stall the Democrts at any rate the party could better
afford to DO in the right than in the wrongi therefore
he was in favor of the resolution. Loyalty that had
get to DO bought was not worth having and the
Border States would help US but little without
they adopted our cause heart and soul. The rebels
were employing the blacks in their army sgainft US,
while we would not allow any OF our black
population TO handle a musket or spade. IL seems
only necessary that the President should ask people
without distinction Of color TO fight for the Union
lie protested against tho army receiving fgiiyes az
sneh. Secretary Cameron had said that any OF the
slaves desired TO 70 back TO their masters why don't
bndes tbem Bat this was only opening tbs door Tor
